"IN PRAISE OF WAR"

 Tn Praise of War by Don c. Seitz is
 A book of lively verses, some hum- orous, some gay, touching many phases of war on land and at sea. The ap- preciation of self-sacrifice. of brav ery. of patriotism, the thrill inher- tied from generations of past war riors that seizes us by the throat when soldiers swing by--all these we feel again in MT Seitz's verse. The sea poems are filled with deep under standing and a sympathy for ships and their fighters,

ItrHE MAN wHO WAS THJ,


 Bs Gilbert K Chesterton. Boni & Liveright. Inc. (The Modern Li- brary), publishers, New York.
 The Modern Library has chosen wisely in reprinting Gilbert K. Ches- terton's story, The Man Who Was Thursday" for 1t has all the Chester ton charm and all the Chesterton in terest.
 The salient gift that Chesterton puts into his novels is his marvellous com trol over the amazing. In few hours the whole world has become perme- ated with the anarchist idea, and we are not half as astonished as Smye or the professor are in The Man Who Was Thursday" Chesterton's charac- ters can juggle with the stars and planets and moons without evolving any disbelief in our minds of their actual existence. To be Chestertonian, they are too impossible. these charac- tors. not to be real: they have too many divine flashes of wit not to be hLman: they have too much of Ches- terton within them not to be largo and delightful.

WNW are preparing for war service,
 W and Vassar college will remain open all summer for war work.
 It is stated that Vassar college, always progressive, will be kept open through out the coming summer for war serv- ices. This is in direct accordance with the policy adopted at the entrance of our country into the war when a censhs of resources was taken and special training for war work arranged for Sensational services, such as military drill and sharpshooting were ignored attention being concentrated on house hould economy, home nursing and sursi- cal dressings All these activities are controlled by a war service committee with a student chairman. The courses have proven both stimulating and val uable, especially as time for them must be found outside of the classroom work, so that the students are sacrificing their pleasure hours for the war work.

"STUDIES IN PESSIMISM." l. l. Rotn i


 Liyeright, Inc (The Modern
 Library) publishers, New York
 In his studies in Pessimisni'
 Schopenhauer reaches the heights of
 all that Is iconoclastic and cynical. In
 other words, he is the pessimist of pes
 simists, and the recent reproduction
 of his famous studies by the Mod
 ern Library in 9 volume convenient
 and practical is received with delight by the many readers of this great phi losopher.
 In a mote" to the little volume the following information concerning "Studies In Pessimism" is given which explains just what the reader may eX- pect in the recent refurnished volume. "rhe essays here presented form a further selections from Schopenhauer' s "Parerga." brought together under a title which is not to be found in the | original, and does not claim to ap- ply to every chapter in the volume. The first essay is, in the main, a rem dering of the philosophers remarks
 under the heading of "Nachtrage zur Lehre vom Leiden der Welt" together with certain parts of another section entitled "Nachtrage zur Lehre von der Bejahung and verneinung des Will lens gum Leben. Such commissions as i I have made are directed chiefly by the ueslfe 10 aNold repeattnG arSu- rents already familiar to readers of I the other volumes in this series The Dialogue on Immortality" sums up views expressed at length in the phi ] losophers chief work and treated again in the "Parerga." The "Psy chological Observations" in this and the previous volume practically ex- l haust the chapter of the original which bears this title
 The essay on "Women" must not be taken in jest. It expresses Schopen- hauer's serious convictions; and, as d penetrating observer of the faults of humanity, he may be allowed a hear Ing on question which is just now receiving good deal of attention among us.'

Big Timber and
Cord Wood Sale at
Cambridge Tomorrow

A tract of standing timber and
cord wood to be sold at o'clock to-
morrow (Tuesday) afternoon, May
q, 1918, at the Court House door,
Cambridge, Md.
Timber and cord wood are scarce
and in great demand. This tract to
be sold tomorrow has a lot of pine
and gum saw timber; a big lot of
pine and gum piles, and the finest
tract of cord wood anywhere near
Cambridge.
This timber and cord wood are on
the State road on the Hildebrandt
farm, three miles from East New
Market, and seven miles from Cam
bridge. 1t is only one and one-half
miles from the steamboat wharf at
Oyster Shell Point, Great Choptank
river. The back of this tract is on
ly one and one-half miles from Link
wood railroad station.
l have an offer from a reliable au-
tomobile truck hauler to bring cord
wood from this far INTO Cambridge at
price not to exceed $1.25 per cord.
There probably is no other tract of
timber and cord wood so close to wa
ter and railroad transportation, that
can be put in market at such small
cost
The timber and cord wood will be
offered for sale with and without the
land on which it stands.
Any further information may be
procured from

Tribute Of A Canadian
Father To His Son

God gave my son in trust to me;
Christ died for him, and he should be
A man for Christ. He is his own
And Gods and mans, not mine alone.
He was not mine to give" He gave
Himself that he might help to save
All that a Christian should revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear.
ITO feed the guns!" All, torpid soul!
Awake and see life as a whole.
When freedom, honor, justice, right,
Were threatened by the despot's
might,
With hearts a1lame and soul alight,
He bravely went for God to fight.
Against base savages whose pride
The laws of God and man defed.
Forgotten gravel" This selfish plea
Awakes no deep response in me,
For, though his grave l may not see,
My boy will ne'er forgotten be.
My real son can never die;
'Tis but his body that may lie
In foreign land, and l shall keep
Remembrance fond, forever deep
Within my heart of my true son
Because of trillmphs that he won.
1t alters not where any one
May sleep when work is done.
1t matters not where any one
If my dear son his life must give,
Hosannas l will sing for him,
Fen though my eyes with tears be
dim
And when the war is over, when
His gallant comrades come again,
I'll cheer them as they're marching
by,
Rejoicing that they did not die
And when his vacant place l did not
see,
My heart will bound with joy that he
Was mine SO long-my fair young
son,
And cheer for him whose work is
done.
This poem was written by DR.. Jas.
L. Hughes, whose own son had been
killed in battle, and is a reply to

My Boy To Be a Soldier" written by

and by the time they got it into man
ageable shape, they had drlfted Tar
from the scene of the explosion, were
! in utter darkness, and could not have
manoeuvered their own boat except
by letting go their own life raft,
which contained the major portion
of their party.
While this was going on, the sub
marine came to the surface ana
searched for them with small
, search light, twice passing very close
to their boat without seeing them.
Their progress toward the light
, house was very slow and erratc, IL
/ being hard to keep the boat under
way or on her course, due to the
drag of the life raft with its heavy
load. The wind was rising and pres
emily the sail and mast were blown
| overheard. These, however, were
quickly recovered and reset and they
again set on their course. After be-
ing i'll the water up to their waists
and more OF less drenched from the
|! spray, for five hours, they sighted the
light OF an approaching vessel and
fired signal rockets. The vessel i'm
mediateiy changed her course and
ran away, believing that the lights
were from d submarine, as the enc
my has several times used this as d
ruse This was repeated with a sec
oad vessel.
Presently another vessel came
along and they tried it again. This
one circled them cautiously and at
| ter they signalled a second time, ran
alongside and picked them up. 1t
was a small coal boat and carried
them to nearly port. During the
, five hours Brown was steering the
boat with a big sweep, he lay i'll one
position and Kept one foot braced
against a thwart to serve as a rest
| for an oar, which one of the other
men was pushing, the oar lock be-
| ing broken When they went on
board the rescuing vessel, which was
a little craft of about fifty tons, they
were so stiff that it was some time
| before they could resume the normal
posture of their bodies. The other
raft was picked up three hours later
| by a Norwegian steamer.
| In this port they were finely treat
ed at the Soldiers and Sailors Club
and by the Red Cross and by native
and American residents, especially
Mrs. Simonton, sister of Mrs. Mason,
of East Orange, and Mrs. Gordon,
| formerly of Paterson. They stayed
there one day and left for another
port in a fast steamer. AS this boat
was entering the port, she was at
tackled by a submarine, but escaped
| by running.
After a short time here Ensign
Brown came home on big liner and

passing very close astern. He land
