The real reason why we are taking
all these feod-control precautions In
Great Britain is not to protect the civil
population at all, but to see that the
allied armies at the front get their full
rations. I can imagine no greater self
ishness on the part Of a democracy
than to eat It's fill while It is allowing
Its soldiers in That dreary land In
which they have been for three years
to 60 short. The very work Of sol
der demands that he should be the
best-fed man in the world
And not only have we to protect the
food of the soldier. You are all
aware that since the beginning Of the
war the ships Of the British navy and
those attached to 1t have increased
tenfold. Sometimes we only think of
the navy in terms Of battleships, de-
stroyers and submarines. Added to
these are thousands Of small craft,
trawlers, drifters. observation ships
and on every one of these, summer and
winter-and do not forget that we have
very severe winter in the North sea
and North Atlantic-are men who must
have their daily full ration to carry

We heard this interesting story OF
one Of the professors Of the North
western university while we were
there. James Taft Hatfield is one OF
the most scholarly men on the faculty.
He had for years a theory that no
matter where an educated man might
be placed he would rise, that no en-
vironment, however adverse, could
keep an educated man at the bottom
OF the ladder. He set out to prove the
point by his own personal experiment.
He went to one of the American har-
bors where foreigners were being ex-
amined for military service. The ex-
aminations were being conducted on
board ship lying in the harbor. He
dressed in workmen's clothes and pre-
sented himself for a stoker's place on
the vessel, the lowest form of labor.
He had only been below an hour
when the hatchway was raised and a
voice said: "Hey! Can any of you fel-
lows down there write English" Pro
fessor Hatfield was the one man who
could write English and he came up
to the deck. The surgeon was exam
ming long line of foreign speaking
men and he wasn't very we'll versed
in the languages himself. He con-
tinued the examinations, spelling now
and then word for his secretary who
showed no hesitancy in spelling the
technical words. Finally Servian
came up for examination and the doc
tor could not make himself ineligible
to the man and the man hadn't the
faintest idea what was being done.
Then Professor Hatfield addressed
him in his own tongue and explained
that he knew the significance of a GER
tain tattoo mark on the Servian's arm
The doctor said: Here, you do the
sor Hatfield had proved his theory to
be true.
In the July issue of The Red Cross
magazine is u short article, The Pray
er of the Bell 1t tells of a little town
in Alabama called Verbena where the
bell in the village church sounds
every evening at six o'clock the "An-
gelus of Strife" The bell rings for
two minutes and as it rings all the
people stand and offer this prayer:
God bless our president, our soldiers
and our nation and guide them to vic
tory" Men, women and children stop
wherever they are at the first sound
of the bell, and it thus calls many to
prayer whose lips are unaccustomed
to such petition. The prayer of the
bell might well become national Gus
tom, in the day when human strength
needs as never before Divine aid and
guidance.
