ORIGIN OF Fsn11AR HYMN.

The familiar hymn beginning "God
moves in a mysterious way" known
as "Cowper's Hymn" had its origin
as follows:
"Cowper was all his life the vic
tim of melancholia and more than
once attempted suicide. One day,
bent upon destroying himself he got
into n cab and ordered the driver to
take him to n certain point on the
river where he intended to drown
himself The cabman, noticing his
strange appearance and feeling that
all might not he right with him, drove
him about the city and finally stop
ped in front of the poets door.
Stepping out and recognizing the
old familiar surroundings and shock
ed at the thought of his narrow es-
cape, Cowper exclaimed, God moves
in n mysterious way his wonders to
perform" and rushing in Immediately
composed the immortal hymn.

NETS CATCH U-BoAT WRECKAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-Not
only fish, but parts of destroyed Ger
man submarines now frequently con-
stitute the catch of Dutch fishermen
when they haul up their nets off the
coast of Holland, according to H.
Veenstra, a dairy expert of Alkmaar,
Holland, who arrived here today en-
route to Canada.
FLOATING parts of U-boats are
raising havoc with the nets of our
fishermen" Mr. Veenstra said. "In
many cases fiotsam and jetsam has
been submitted to coast guaTdsmen
and officers of the Dutch navy and
were identified as belonging to sub
marines that had been destroyed by
depth charges"

OVER THE NORTHWEST

There's one medical corps and one
hospital at Camp Lewis that is sell
dom heard OF, although theirs is a
far from unimportant duty. These
are concerned with the ailments of
the horses and mules of the Ninety
First Divislon--for without its
mounts and draft animals, an army
is in n sad plight.
Fourteen veterinary specialists
each an officer--under direction of
Captain Andrew Donovan, division
veterinarian, are in charge of the well
being of the horses and mules. They
and their assistants among the en-
listed men give as much attention to
this work as the Medical Corps does
to the men of the army.
The veterinarians are assigned to
different organizations in the divis-
ion, Each inspects the stables under
him every day and all sick or Injured
animals are noted and treated. Where
possible, they are doctored in their
own stables, but the badly injured or
seriously sick steeds are removed to
the veterinary hospital maintained at
the remount headquarters.
instruction in caring for the horses
is also given enlisted men by the vet
erinary officers. Another of their
important duties is inspection of new
ly arrived steeds.
As soon as these arrive, assigned
veterinarians carefully watch the an
imals as they are unloaded for signs
of lameness or sickness. These are
sent to the hospital Mt once The 9th
