such big bill that I simply don't dare trade anywhere else, and l niake 1t point and my wife makes 1t a point to smile and bow to him graciously whenever we can't get away in time when we see him coming.
 T don't know anybody treat with more respectful consideration than l do GorRstarch, and of all the stores on the street his would have been the last one would have chosen to de- m0lish.
 There was a large crate of straw berries outside, just up from the south, , worth their weight in gold, and the Hamer Six took them at a mouthful before crashing through the plate glass window. Cornstarch had just redressed his widow, and we pro- ceeded amid a perfect shower of Brazil nuts and walnut meats, artichokes tangerines, Brussels sprouts, hothouse tomatoes and mushrooms.
 One of his customers had set her
 market basket on the floor near the pitiful little sack of sugar scattered was 8 caution. There was a gallon bottle of vinegar we ran over, too, and the vinegar spurted all over the 1 face of the Boston bull pup accom- panying Mrs. Hylo, his wealthiest cus- toner. The dog, resenting such treat ment, gave a shnill yelp and landed
 in the perambulator with Mrs. Abbott's 1 twins. Then the twins yelled and 1 Mrs. Abbott, in the rear of the store,
 whirled so quickly that she knocked
 down a four fet pyramid of canned tomatoes, which in turn fell all over a bushel basket of fresh eggs. l My wife, who is an accurate ob-
 server, told me all this. My wife all
 ways keeps her presence of mind. no
 matter what befalls her, so she re-
 mained seated in the car like lady, serene amid the walls and shrieks and
 scenes of carnage and the Brazil nuts and artichokes which still dropped now and then from the ceiling, till
 arrived, stricken and gory as was. 1 'CoFnstarch and the whole force
 seemed glad to have us go. and we've 1 been living ever since on the canned goods we had in the house. Maybe if we hook the piano, our diamonds and the five pounds of sugar. we own we can assuage Cornstarch's grief, but
 naturally I'm worrying!"

embryo
 We had a war of Liberty; our grow ing democracy stood for a great humai and national ideal, and forces were aligned for the Big Thing to come.
 We had 8 war of righteous inter ference; our great democracy stood for the cooperation of neiShboring na- tions; and the Big Thing loomed near.
 The Big Thing Has Comei We have a war to the dath of Right against Wrong. Our mighty nation, equipped with power and influence, proudly self conscious, unified by danger, has championed the principles of world brotherhood, democracy and justice. America has grown to her cl1ancei She stands now not upon her own rights; not upon the rights of a class or condition of men; not upon the rights of neighbors or friends; but upon the rights of the whole free world! Hers is the first national voice raised for the broadest inter-nationalism. A Big Thing indeed! The biggest thing that has happened since Chris tendom. And we are in it! We in conspicuous individuals, chosen by in scrutabIe Providence to be alive today we each share it! We cannot escape The privilege of being alive in these hard, terrible, SlOrlouS tlmeS entails qtt responsibility upon each one of us, tC do our bit; as we can. No one can bt l a Spectator only. Whoever is no helping by thought, word or deed, is ol 1 the Other Side.
 What is our part in the Big Thing
 We must discover. And then VI must put our individual shoulder t the Big. Thing and push, with all ou might! All together, now!
 i America to the rescue! Freemen al 1 lied with freemen the world ove against Tyranny. America helping 1t make the world safe for Democracy, Brotherhood and Peace.
 Isn't that big enough thing to liv, and sacrifice for. To die, for5if neces sary?
 Nothing else seems worth while, jus now, to folk of true vision.

GOVERNMENT FUNDS FOR
 HOUSES. @

How great is the need of providing the housing facilities to accommodate the large number of worl1men who are being gathered at many points about the country for the production of the much needed war material and equipment is pretty clearly set forth by the programme put forth in Wash ington which calls for an appropria- ton of s1o0.eoo,oo to meet the situa- tion.
 It can be appreciated that the bringing of thousands of new em- nloyes to cities for work in munition factories, to shipyards for the speed ing up of the construction of vessels, or in fact to any locality where in creased operations are underway means that these people have got to be accommodated. It is a waste of time and money to the men and a cause of much dissatisfaction to all concerned to have them transported long distances twice a day and have them scattered about as they would have to be in any large community where even only a certain amount of accommodations can be found. It is necessary that they should be able to get homes within reasonable dis tance of their employment and as in the caseof a new mill in new locality the thing to do is to provide the homes and make the employees satis- fled with their surroundings.
 As in the case of the government advancing funds for the stab1iShing of large war enterprises it is proper that it should advance the money for providing the houses and the quicker it can be done the quicker and great CT will be the relief. The good work which has been done in this direction needs to be followed with close eye of course upon the manner in which the money is Snent

erRIkING AT sPAIN's RIGHTS

Through the activity of its agents and the spreading of propaganda broadcast throughout that country Germany has been doing it's utmost to keep Spain where 1t will be of nc help to the allies and therefore in- directly be of some assistance to Ger many. Not little pro German feel ing has been aroused there as the result. Spain has tolerated the de- struction of it's ships without warn ing, the footing of it's vessels on the high seas by submarines. the use oi it's coast for submarine bases, while ships and sailors which have been in termed for the war have been able to get away without molestation.
 All, of this has been directly con- trary to the attitude manifested by the allies towards Spain. for they have respected it's neutrality, have furnished it supplies and have at- tempted no iron fist methods on lanf or sea against it. If Spain therefore has any reason to look more favorably upon one side in the conflict thar upon the other because of it's treat ment it cannot fail to realize that the allies have been doing the square thing by it.
 But now comes Germany shaking it's first in the face of Spain and de- claring that it must call of the agree ment which has been entered into be tween that country and tha United States regarding the exchange of sup plies and threatening if such is not done that it's shipping will be treated with the same merciless consideration as that of the belligerents and otheI neutrals, and that even the slight re. spect which has been shown, it in thu past will cease. That is enough tt arouse Spanish resentment to tn, highest pitch but it remains to, b. seen whether that country has beer so thoroughly Germanized that it vii bow down to the nation which hope, to dominate the world.

FACING ANOTHER vERnuN.

Germany gives evidence to support the belief that 1t figures that its effort to break through on the western front has heen failure and that 1t cannot be expected to succeed if continued along the lines in which it has been going. The expectation was that if it could continue it's drive for a dis tance Of ten miles into the enemy territory 1t would be able to separate the British and French forces and roll back the respective armies to the north and south. In spite of the ef- forts made, the terrible slaughter which has resulted and the tremen 6ous amount Of artillery and the vast number Of men thrown into the mael- strom it has not accomplished it's ob-
 Hft It has covered the ten miles tTicc lover in some places and nearly
 et times at the deepest salient made but it has not gotter through. The allies forces have been so mar shalled that they have saved their man power and by yielding territory in good order brought the advance to a standstill.
 The Teutons are now attempting other tactics. They still have faith ID the massed attacks in spite of the cost but by broadening the line of att tack and getting some of the hard est obstacles it is still hoped to bring about the much desired decisive vic- tory. That they will fail is. conf dently believed. The allies are not without resources and they -.,il have a large reserve untouched --- use when the time comes to nosks it the most effective, and that is increasing every day by Americas help. It is another Verdun which the German generals are facing and there are good reasons for believing that the results will be much the same as they were there.

In spite of the long retreat across France-40 miles at it's greatest depth absolute confidence in their ultimate success prevails throughout the French and British armies. This is striking proof of their wonderful morale, for if retreating army can keep up it's courage, there can be no doubt of what it's response will be when at last the order comes to advance. While the enemy rushes division after di- vision to slaughter, the allies reserve force is being withheld from the bat tie, waiting until the new general issimo Foch sees the time and the place to strike decisive counter blow. The growing confidence of fhe allied nations rests on the fact that ii was this same Foch who saw right and struck hard and "beat them at the Marne." ts'+N
