Governmental authorities of both Eng land and Scotland have notified the English premier that Australian soldiers are marry ing English and Scotch girls at the rate of eight hundred month and ask the premier if the British government will furnish trans portation for these wives to Australia after the war. It is confidently expected that the government will gladly do this little thing for the brave Anzacs who have fought so well for old England It is also declared that the Australians have decided partiali- ty for the Scotch lassies over their English sisters Well, why notp Her face 1t Is the fairest that ever the sun shone on, goes the old song about Annie Laurie, the Scotch maid of Maxwelton Bonny and brave and sensible and true are the girls of Scotland, if one may believe in the old songs and great stories of that land. And he who does not believe Is a misfit in the grand scheme of things They are long headed lot, those Australians who would pick Scotch girls to adorn their far off homes in the Antipodes. And they have working as well as winning ways. There is no better blood in the wide world than Scotch blood, and it is not her old heroes and kings and professors and mechanics and shipbuilders that have alone furnished all the light for Scotland's glory, her won derful lassies lighted most of these lamps that will never grow dim The Australian soldiers who take Scotch brides back to the other side of the world with them may well sing with Harry Lauder:
 T love lassie bonny, bonny lassie, And she's purer than the lilies in the dell She's sweeter than the heather,
 The bonny, bonny heather,

War's Curse and Blessings

What has been the most striking effect of the war upon the United States? The pacifist would answer that 1t has cost us billions in money and will cost us thou sands of lives, and this sacrifice all for noth- ing. The traitor and disloyalist would answer that we went to war with Germany without cause But the average American citizen, after some study of many printed pages upon the war, and after some thought would answer that the war has not, so tar, been an unmixed curse to this nation.
 He would answer that the sacrifices have not been in vain The war found this na- ton mad in the pursuit of the dollar; found 1t fat and lazy and rich Found 1t waste full Found 1t indifferent to any future ex- cept the squandering of its own great re- sources He would answer that his nation has gone into training for speed, strength and endurance. That 1t changed from ex- travagance to close economy. That 1t has thrown off its shameful garments of sloth and selfishness to put on the shining ral- ment of hard work and sacrifice. That this war is a furnace from which this republic will emerge pure gold, leaving the dross and slag and worthless clements behind in the ashes.
 These gains are only in ideals and in sent iment and in spirit, argues the materialist. Well, there have been material gains, too. The war has brought to America the most marvellous expansion of her banking power ever known to the world before; 1t has changed her from debtor to creditor na- ton; it has brought both a sensational and tremendous development of her foreign commerce and the creation of merchantile marine that will pour golden stream into her lap for years to come; 1t has engender- ed an all important and long needed chemi- cal industry that will result in more bene- fits than the pen can set down; 1t has doubled our metal industries and metal values; 1t has increased our agricultural products from values of fourteen millions to twenty-one millions.
 Yes, and there Is another and distinctive material advantage from the war. It has called hundreds of thousands of young men from every walk in life and subjected them to severe training and discipline, thus mak- ing them more manly and resourceful and valuable to their kin and country for years to come. It has called hundreds of thou sands of men to learn skilled trades. It has called thousands of women from the ex- treme of ease and the extreme of toll to do a noble work, and not one of these but that will be more useful to society as result.
 No, this war is not an unmixed curse. No great work, toll or sacrifice Is ever curse unrnized with blessings Men must die and women must weep when nations war, but out of the red gleam of the battle and the pain of the hospitals narrow walls and the rivers of tears will come finer, stronger, truer race and another tier of solid rock foundations upon which the pillars of this republic may rest in both honor and pride as well as mere security in the years yet to come.
 Weigh them well; the pacifist's pitiful plea, and the patriots deathless1 glory. Which will you have for heritage?

A special writer from Washington to one of the New York dailies declares that the final collapse of Russia, the evidence that Germany is bent on conquest wherever possible, the knowledge that Austria-Fiun- gary was using diplomatic camouflage in expressing sentiments that appeared to be at varience with Germany's desire to rule the world, the yelled threats of the Prus- sion autocracy to the Scandinavian nations, have brought to Washington full realiza- ton that the future of democratic institu- tions depends upon the sword, and not on peace by understanding with Germany on the other side of the peace table.

Here is strange and fantastic irony up on the fateful trend of the world war. Rus sia, the first nation to mobilize against Ger many in defense of little Rumania, and by that act drag her allies into the war, was the first and only nation to quit cold and desert these same allies And now Ger many having seized the fairest portions of Russia and all her important sea ports and lands adjacent thereto, offers the allies all they are fighting for in the west if they will ratify the dismembership and slavery Of this same Russia. And the allies say, 'No!' This comes of having a conscience and a cause, both high above mere personal ad- vantage and material gain
