Then something rev strikes his rowing

No man is beaten till he gives in;
Hard luck can't stand for cheerful

The man who fails needs better excuse

GRAND DUKE WORKS As CLERK
"London Michael" and Countess En-.
dure Reverses OVERWHELMINGLY
In London.

London.-One of the Russian grand
dukes, known as the 'London Michael"
to distinguish him from the other
Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from
great wealth to comparative penury as
a result of the Russian revolution.
Before the war he lived in one of
the finest residential estates in the
neighborhood Of London. When his
income from Russia was cut off he
subleased this property and is now a
clerk at $4,000 year in an Office near
Westminster abbey. His wife, the
Countess Torby, conducts their small
home with zest and without grumbling.
'.Probably no family in Great Brit
ain has endured greater reverses than
this one, or borne it's misfortune more
cheerfully," comments the Evening
News. r.

Berne.-The correspondent Of the
Berne Bund sends his paper a de-
scription Of life in Paris, which is
published under the caption, "War
Life in France; Paris as It Eats ~nd
Saves The article says:
"Who would have thought possible
before the war a world city in exist
ence two days march behind the bat
tie front? During the first war weeks,
after the governments departure to
Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat
deserted. But since then everything
is back. The big hotels never did
better than just now. In the streets
there is a traffic that has never been
beaten. The stranger notices the
many uniforms; he thinks the French
capital big army camp, where mill
tary men from all corners of the world
meet.
Used to Uniforms.
"The Partisan long ago became used
to the uniforms and forgot that once
there was time when women were
the only ones who added color to a
street scene. Man gets used to every
thing. After a while one found the
dark streets quite natural. One paid
the high war prices without blinking.
One submitted to the necessity Of a
sugar card and learned to get along
with a moderate coal supply in win
ter.
Lately, however, the Partisan ex-
perienced things that reminded him Of
the war rather impressively. The
latest visit of German airplanes re-
suited in energetic measures for pro-
lection. At all the beautiful monu-
ments sand bags are piled high. On
many large buildings tablets are
posted saying there is a bombproof
cellar there and how many people it
will shelter. When darkness appears
Paris wraps itself in a blue veil,
which is very becoming.

Measures Of economy are now taken
up in earnest. Who wants to drink
sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring
his own sugar or be satisfied with the
saccharine tablet the waiter will hand
him. Cakes, pastry and candy are not
made any longer. Confectioners are
put entirely out Of business. The tea
houses, too, are in bad fix. No more
sugar or sweetmeats, not even sand
wiches, are to be had. And two francs
for such cup Of tea is a pretty good
price.
'eThe authorities figure everybody
will be sensible enough to see that
saving is the patriotic duty Of every
non-combatant. Clever posters tell the
people transportation of food takes up
cargo space that ought to be used for
American troops and war material. So
every citizen can see he will hasten
the arrival Of American help and thus
support the French poilu by his own
moderation and abstemiousness."

A plan proposed by the federal off,
Gals would stop the use of platinum
in jewelry, not only for the war but for
all time. Officials Of the government
who are in close touch with the situa-
ton are filled with apprehension as
to the future supply Of platinum.

pressing needs of the government in
Its war program, the war industries
board has ordered that Is per cent Of

manufacturing jewelers. be comman-
deered and also the complete stock

a small gap and that temporarily.
1t has been hoped by federal officials
and chemists throughout the country
who understand the seriousness of the
situation that the whims of fashion
might yield to national needs and that
purchasers Of jewelry would demand
gold and silver or white alloy and so
release platinum for it's highest use,
but the results have been disappoint-
ing.
The American Chemical society, an
organization composed Of the leading

is also back Of this movement, has is

MUST CUT IN wheat
Need for Limitation in Consump.
ton Very Great.
Food Administration Corrects False
Impression Given by Recent
News Dispatches.

Neutrality-suspicious. press dispatch
es widely circulated through the coun-
try have given the wholly false impress
sion that there is no longer need for
rigorous conservation of wheat and
flour. The food administration de-
clares that every aspect Of the wheat
situation, both present and prospec-
tive, fntensifies the need for the great
est possible limitation in the American
consumption of wheat and wheat prod
ucts. If present restrictions should be
in the slightest degree relaxed it would
result in serious want for the people
OF Europe before the new crop can
reach the market.
The food administrations estimate
Of the position on the first of June in
dicates a total available supply until
the new harvest, including the grain
which will be available from the farms,
in country and terminal elevators, and
mill elevators, of about 100000 BUSH
els. OF this 100000 bushels must
be exported before new wheat is avail
able for export if we are to maintain
the absolutely necessary shipments to
our army and the allies. That leaves
about 26000,00O bushels for domestic
consumption for the next two months.
Normal American consumption is
something over 100000 bushels a
month, so that the most liberal con-
sumption at home would be only one
third Of normal.
The harvest will not be generally
available in flour until the middle of
August or early September, although
in the extreme South it will be some
what earlier. So long as the war lasts,
with it's increasing drafts for soldiers
and munition workers, the world will
steadily produce less food. IF we are
wise, a great harvest will mean the
willing building up Of great national
reserves.

TO TEACH DISABLED
Australia Recognizes Duty to
Crippled Soldiers.
Subsistence Wages to Be Paid Men
While They Are Learning
Trades,

Washington.-The manner in which
Australia Is meeting the problem of
repatriating the men fighting in Eu-
rope is described in dispatches to the
bureau OF foreign and domestic COM
merce. Much interest was aroused by
the dispatches, as foreshadowing what
the United States must do when the
tide of disabled men begins to flow
westward.
Two principles form the basis ce the
Australian system: First, that the
purpose is to secure the re-establish-
ment of returned soldiers in the indus
trial life Of the community; second,
that as a soldier abandoned his civil
calling to serve the state, it is the
duty Of the state to sustain him until
an opportunity for such re-establish-
ment is assured.
Subsistence wages will be paid to
men seeking employment or being
trained in technical schools. The
amounts will vary according to the
number Of dependents, the maximum
being &3, 6 shillings, or approximately
$16.50.
A feature Of the vocational training
planned will be national workshops,
wherein men whose injuries preclude
the possibility of their ever becoming
competent to earn their living as nor
NAL workmen will be educated to new
tasks and perhaps employed perma-
nently. The totally and permanently
disabled will be provided for in hos
tells, or, alternately, by special grants
supplementary to their pensions, if
they prefer to remain with their
friends.
Widows DESTROYS Of learning some
useful trade will be afforded the neces-
sary training and sustenance. Ad-
vances Of money will be made in GER
tain cases for the establishment Of
small businesses, for tools and for
transit to employment.
Australia also is following the prac-
tice of the United States after the civil
war Of granting land to returned SOL
diers. Major Blizzard, who took part
in the historic landing at Gallipoli
and was severely wounded, has been
granted 700 acres near Echuca.
