his war experiences along the 'front.'

canteen. to G. X. Roper, Y. NJ.
c. A. railroad secretary. on duty in
Washington.
In the ten weeks at the front I
had myriad of experiences: I am
grateful that came through without
a scratch, but the strain got my
nerves to running criss-crossways.
AS the custom is aftetr few weeks
at the front. l. was sent TO interior
work aps am now in one of the fin
est sections of France. and the past
week erected one of the big tents
beside a hospital where 400 soldiers
are already quartered, with new pa
tients arriving daily.
No Sweets Under Fire.
/ Up at the front at one time the
bombardment shut US off from our
supplies for several days. and for
three days I had only soap and
matches in the canteen with 500 lads
crying for sweets. Two days more
and they were TO be in the trenches.
II had not slept much for several
nights worrying about it. The next
morning l told the major / would like
70 get to the commissary, fifteen miles
away, IL possible. He said the only
help he could offer was his saddle
horse, and that l was welcome, to
him.
I rode thirty miles that day, every
step of the way in easy range of
the enemy. but with the feeling of
perfect safety which was very hard
to explain. found the commissary
with abundant supplies, but with no
way to get them to our hut, so I
hustled around, borrowed a ration
wagon. and a night trip behind a
four-mule team did the rest. II al
most took a railroad wrecking der
rick TO get me up the next morning,
but the appreciation of our lads was
ample pay for every ache and pain
as they marched past me with a
cheer for the Y. NJ. c. A. on their
way to the front that night. I was
happy that I had done my best.
Train of Refugees.
"On the way here We stopped beside
a train of refugees. 1t was the sad

hasty getaway.
They were travelling I'm box cars

gassed them if they remained. All
were dirty. tired and filthy. 1t could
not be otherwise.
They were being fed on the siding
by the Red Cross. I tell you Red
Cross stock went up about 100 per
cent with ME that day. Each crowd

loaves OF war bread: another truck

RAILS
IN CONFUSION
Four-Hour Day for Work
ers Leads to Pitiful
Conditions.

The complete decentralization OF the
transportation systems of Russia Is
perhaps the greatest difficulty to be
faced by the Entente allies, in the
event military Intervention Is decided
upon.
Recent advices from that unfor-
tunate land to this country present
graphic pictures OF the utter down.
fall OF the railroads, and the specter
of famine which has followed in its
wake. The operation costs per mile
of railroad are more than ten times
what they were in normal times.
Few Cars Produced.
The situat ton is the same with rs-
gard to the production of cars and
locomotives. In many instances the
production is one-fortieth of what it
was when Russia operated under a
stable government.
With the exception Of the Murman
railroad, which is guarded by allied
forces. and that section of the trans
Siberian railroad in the hands Of the
CzchO-Siovaks! all transportation lines
in Russia are in pttiful state OF
dila pidation.
The reasons for these conditions are
the democracy deSauch" INDUCED I'm
by the Russians themselves. and the
evils accompanying the depreciation
of the country's paper.
Railroad workment. dissatisfied with
the six-hour day, voted themselves in
the aftermath of the revolution. are
now reported to have adopted a four
hour day, and some of their ultra
radical comrades have even called for
two-hour work day.
| As a result train schedules have
fallen into discard, the only pretense
of regular service is along that part
of the transSibeTian in European
Russia, and the shipment of food Is
at a minimum. While starvation is
rife in Petrograd and other cities. the
| food situation is much better in the
country districts, where peasants have
been able TO supply their needs from
the soil.

Our men of wealth and influence
did not start with any cash capital.
They went to work with their plaw,
the hoe, the jack plane or axe, and
in time their capital brought them
rich harvest. Ali but there's the
rub; you don't want to work. You
want money on credit so you can
play the gentleman, speculate and
end your career by playing vagabond.
You want to marry rich girl who

Every boy is going to have con-
fident, some one to whom he can tell
his secrets and whisper his hopes ano
ambitions which he would not breathe
to others, says 0rison SWEET Marden
in success Magazine" We take it
for granted that his mother will stand
nearer to him than any other per-
son. but every boy will have some
male friend who will stand in a pc
culiar relation to him. This friend,
this confident, should be his father.
You cannot afford to have your boy
feel that you are too busy or too in
different to tell him how to fly his
kite or bate his hook or make q toy or
to play games with him. If you begin
early enough, it is comparatively
easy for Won to gain your boys con-
fidence. From infancy he should
grow up to feel that no one else can
take your place; that you stand in
peculiar relation to him, which no
one else can fill.

1t Is the unhappy usage of our
schools and universities to study the
history Of mankind only during periods
OF mechanical unprogressiveness. The
historical ideas Of Europe range be-
tween the time when the Greeks were
going about the world on foot or horse
back or In galleys or sailing ships, to
the days when Napoleon, Wellington
and Nelson were going about at very
much the same pace In much the same
vehicles and vessels. At the advent Of
steam and electricity the muse of his
tory holds her nose and shuts her eyes.
Science will study md get the better
Of q modern disease, as for example,
sleeping sickness. In spite of the fact
that It has no classical standing, but
our history schools would be shocked
at the bare idea Of studying the effect
of modern means Of communicat ti0n
upon administrative areas, large or
small. This defect In our historical
training has made our minds p0liti-
eally sluggish.-H. q. Wells in New
Republic.
