Hun captives Are oxIike.

Once through Templeaux and on
the main road for Peronne things be-
game less exciting and we drew up
to see a column OF 900 prisoners pass
US. Each side Of the cauSeway was
lined by Australians, With their keen,
clear-cut, falcon faces, and between
lurched these heavy .iawcd, beetle
proved, uncouth louis, n"w-caught and
staring round with bewi.lcred eyes at
their debonnaire captors. I saw none
of that relief at getting ont of it
which | have read of: nor did I see
any signs of fear, but the prevailing
impression was an oxlike Stolidity and
dullneSs. It was herd of beasts, not
a procession of men. 1t was indeed
farcical to think that these uniformed
pumpkins represented the great mill
tary nation, while the gallant figures
who lined the road belonged TO the
race which they had despised as be-
ing unwarlike. Time and Fate be
tween them have a pretty sense Of hui

PRESS COMMENT
Labor After the War

Those industrial concerns which
still treat labor as commodity to be
bought at the cheapest possible price
and to be treated accordingly are like
ly to find themselves Baddled with the
inefficients who arc crowded out by
the return of the soldiers. Those con-
Germs which have already adopted a
policy which prcsupposes that the
laborcr is a human being with am
billions and aspirations like other
human beings and have held forth an
incentive for their employers to work
intelligently or increase profits should
be able to have choice Of the man
whose outlook has been SO greatly
broadened by their experiences with
the Railway Age.

The Safety of the Seas

The British navy has its triumph
today, and the whole free world will
rejoice in it. This triumph carries
with it no threats against the future
freedom of the seas. 1t implies rath-
er the supreme defence and protection
of that freedom, for it is the British
navy that has made the sea free not
only in peace but in war, for men of
good will. This time the British navy
has won its triumph without one real
ly great naval fight. It's victory has
been gained, we may say, by the mere
exhibition of its invincibility.-Bos

letter from a Georgia farmer, saying

pigs for sale at the low price of 81

New Source of Leather.

Durable leather from fhe bladdars
Of animals is claimed by Rudolph
Obrist-Doos, Swiss. The bladders
are stretched and dried, giving them
a smooth surface, and are. then made

process Of fulling and tanning. The
pieces so obtained may be pressed to-
gether, with a suitable adhesive. and
with or without felt, TO give leather
or leather substitute of any desired
thickness.

Much Work Ahead"

ALREADY the great war has given
birth to little wars-German Aus
trians against Czechs and Ruthcn-
ians from the Ukraine and Galica
against Austrians. Before the world
finally settles down there will be
much work for the big nations in adj
iusting these local disputes. The
United States, as the most disinter-
ested and as the one which has lost
least men, is likely to be entrusted
with most of this work-Portland
Oregonian.

German Efficiency.

Workmen, engineers and superin-

repatriation has been accomplished.
They bring the information that prac-
tically nothing remains of the indus

Miracle In the Mediterranean.

In an article on the submarine war
fare in the Mediterranean contributed
to the November Century, Herman
Whitaker tells of q lad on one of the
American destroyers who had been
washed overheard in black night
storm and was thought to be hope
lessly lost till voice hailed the watch
from under the stern. He had caught
the logline, which trails for couple
Of hundred feet behind. and hauled
himself along it. Another escape was
still more marvellous. Washed over
board at night from one of the de-
stroyers. this particular lad was
heayed by wave upon the deck of
another vessel half a mile astern.
When he was restored to his own ship
at the end Of the voyage, his captain
thus addressed him: Young man,
you have used up all the luck YOU
will have in all your life. The navy
is no safe place for you. Take my adj
vice; get out of it as soon as Uncle
Sam will let YOU

A suggestion has recently been
made by prominent engineer, that
all persons employed in and around
electrical stations should wear straw
hats with stiff brims all the year
round while at work, says the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. Straw is bet
ter insulator than felt and the stiff
ness of the straw gives an additional
advantage as it gives more emphatic
warning to the wearef of the hat
when he comes in contact with wire
or apparatus carrying electricity of
high tension 1t may seem ridiculous
to wear the straw hat in zero weather
but-safety first.

MAKE YOUR RECORD CLEAN

A notable contribution to the liter
atuie Of the day in the interests OF
temperance has recently come to our
attention through a good friend
of the Caledonian published IN
Threads" This is a. trade publ
cation issued by the Geometric Tool
Co. of New Haven and we commend
the article which follows to our
readers:
man OF woman detected in the
act of committing suicide, is withheld
from such act by law.
Why should they be restrained! "A
person who. does not value life Will
probably never be of great assist
ance in this world. Why prohibit
suicide in one form and not in an
other? II it unreasonable to re-
strain a man from destroying himself
by drink, why is it not unreasonable
to restrain him from destroying HIM
self in any other way that he might
choose?
Personally, we would have little
choice between seeing man dead
or seeing Him hopelessly drunk. The
dead man is through doing harm to
himself or anybody else. The hope
lessly drunk-the man with the idea
that he caEnot help getting drunk
remains a curse to himself and those
to whom he belongs.

is not competent to govern himself,
and should be governed by restrain
ing laws. So, we believe, should he
be protected by restraining laws who,
as Shakespeare says, quits an enemy
in his mouth to steal away his
brain"
When public sentiment is strong
enough against any evil, 1T is pro-
hibited. The perversity of human
nature is such that we must be
shocked into realization of what is
for the best good of man. World
chaos has given realizations that per-
haps never would have come in any
other way.
That which makes a soldier efficient
makes the civilian efficient also.
All the arguments against prohibi
ton have been pretty we'll answered
There is the argument OF revenue
Anyone who uses his brain unbiased
can estimate the cost of charities anC

There is the argument concerning
people employed or dependent on thu

that there are more people now Il

Under the blue November sky asleep,
Gcmmed with giant stars of lambert

Lay the Great City, Mother of fight

Under the restless seas the Glad
Word flashed.
Forth rolled the message throbblng
in organ tones,
Rousinga these New World people
from deep sleep;
Awake, Rejoice! In France the
day has come!
Her long and starless night of wal

Her Jour de Gloire est arrive at last.
Her gray and CHASTITY trench-ashed

in vain;
Zen in their hallowed graves they
triumph now;
In France it's day again.
