TO TEACH TOWN PLANNING
Already Provisions Are Being Made for
Reconstruction Period In France
and Belgium.

The reconstruction problem in
France is one that is likely to prove
oyerpowering if immediate steps are
not taken to approach il with ade-
quate preparation Of study. When
the war ends, be it sooner or later,
the task Of peaceful occupation of
this disrupted country will be as lit
tie for amateurs as the task Of
waging the war has been. 1t is
therefore extremely encouraging to
learn that school Of eiyic design
has been established in Paris with a
staff of all the acknowledged masters
of the subject available in that city.
The official title Of the school is the
sEcole Superieure dart Publique"
and the director administrator is
NJ. Charles PATHS, a well-known
architect of Brussels. Many Of the
Belgians now waiting in France to
return to their country will, il is ex-
pected, avail themselves of the teach
ing provided in the school.

No public meetings have vet been held,

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
FOR GOD AND COUNTRY.

For God and Countryl Who can give .
A nobler cause for which to live,
And who can name, beneath the sky,
A better cause for which to die?
For God and Country Youth of mine,
Engrave il deep above your shrine,
And unto il each day be true
And let il guide and counsel you.
Who serves his God and native land
Is fit with all earth's kings TO stand.
In such a cause man may toll,
Paint. write or till patch of soil,
Tunnel the mountains, bridge their
streams,
And find an outlet for his dreams.
In such cause his soul is free
He may be all a man should be-
For God and Country, Wealth or fame
Nor skill is barred unto his name.
Who serves his God and Country's Flag
Although his weary feet may drag
Through dready hours o'cr troubled ways
Shall win the worlds supremest praise.
For him life's gates shall be flung wide.
To him no road shall be denied
For God and Countryl Here is room
In which the soul may come to bloom
Who chooses self to serve must crawl
From day % day in circles small,
And who shall build to such plan,
Shall miss the full growth of man.
For God and Countryi Youth, stand fast
And win the priceless joys that last.

WORK OF THE NAVY.

To correct the impression that the
American Navy's activities are con-
fined to conveying ships and hunting
submarines, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin ID. Roosevelt recounts
some of the things it is doing and which
are not generally known to the public
The Navy, for instance, has constructed
across the North Sea mine barrage
against submarines, is laying an oil pipe
line across Scotland, has assisted the
British and Belgi ms in bombing Ostend
and Zeebrugge with airplanes up to the
time Of the evacuation of these submarine
bases, maintb ins a force of destroyers
and other vessels with the British at
Gibraltar for the conveying of ships
bound for Italy, Greece and Egypt and
has flotilla of submarine chasers In the
Adriatic. In all the various activities
incidental to the prosecution of the war
the American navy is taking its share
Of the work
The construction Of the North Sea
mine barrage was one of the most I'M
portant achievements of the Allied naval
forces. 1t served to make the German
submarine bases on the Belgian coast of
Indifferent value before the enemy was
obliged to give them up. Mines in
great numbers were so placed and anchored
as to render it practically impossible for

In the hope Of getting better peace terms,
the savages who have pillaged and de-
stroved so many monuments OF the
Middle Age spared Bruges. The city
which Hans Memling made illustrlous
in art more than 400 years ago, the city
of bridges, famous for its treasures of
early Flem ish pictures, the city OF the
Hospital of St Jean, OF the Church OF
Notre Dame, OF the Cathedral OF st.
Sauveur, of the Market Hall and the
Belfry, whose chimes, no longer ringing

has made audible to all of us, the city OF

bovant. Of wood carvings and trptycbs
of tombs and turretts and brasses and

town, strange, isolated quiet along its
innumerable canals, the city where Charles
V. and Charles the Bold and the Order
of the Golden Fleece seem contemporary
with us and not historical, the city of
splendid memories and traditions-how
could the Germans fail TO destroy it after
looting it?
They had to be on their good behavior
They had TO show themselves as New
Germans, reformed bandits. See how
good we are how scrupulous, in what
ladylike manner we Germans carry on
the war,
No doubt Bruges would have been
despoiled long ago had the Germans
not been sure that Belgium was to re-
main German. Before they came to
Bruges its most renowned art treasures
had been hidden where they could not
find them Otherwise, the Berlin Mu-
scum would have been ensiched by
