Guide Siqns.

In the various proposals for develop Ing motor transportation over our high ways nothing has been said about guide posts, but that they are necessary is fully demonstrated by the frequent reports that have appeared of fleets of government trucks losing their way, especially at night Con siderable good work in this direction has been done, largely through private enterprise; but there Is still much to do in distinctly marking every fork and turn on all main routes, particu- larly through towns. And in this con nection, It would be well to put on the statute books stringent laws to re- press the rural hoodlum with cheap gun or pistol who delights tO use road signs as target, to the great annoy ance of travellers "a whom guide signs in unfamiliar territory are an absolute essential.

German Sentiments
 by German Writers
EXTRACTS

In the midst of the world-war Ger. many lies like a peaceful garden of God, behind the wall of her armies. There the poet hears the giant strides or the new armour-clad Germany: the earth trembes, the nations shriek the old earth sinks into ruin. For. merly German thought was shut up in her corner, but now the world shall have its coat cut according to Ger man measure, and as far as or swords flash and German blood flows. the circle of the earth shall come un- der the tutelage of German activity. Fritz Philippi, in a poem called "World-Germany"
 Limits of space, unfortunately, pre- vent the submarine from fulfilling the duty of rescue. Hence 1t must be held to be exempt from this duty. and cannot be held responsible for fail ing to perform it-Capt. Persiue, in Das UBoot.
 So we may indeed say that German character, so far as it has penetrated the nations, is now representing and defending the moral and spiritual achievement of the whole of the old European world. So we may say that Europe's existence, and indeed the fate of the whole white race every where, depends on the victory of Ger many.-Henry Marr, Deutschlands neue Einigkeit.
 A sturdy German egoism must characterize all political action. The first principle of our policy, both at home and abroad, must be that, in everything that happens, those who are most German should come off best, while others experience 6 sense of discomfort-F Lange, Reines Deutschtum
