Sieur De Monts National Monument.
This is one of the newest of the
great American national parks and
monuments, having been created less
than a year ago. 1t consists of tract
of wild hill country on the famous
Mount Desert island off the coast Of
Maine. where Bar Harbor. the fash
ionable summer resort is located.
Mount Desert island has long been
famous for its beauty. theresbeing a
passage in the Journal of Governor
Winthrop, written in 1880. which re-
fers to its fair sunshine weather and
so pleasant a sweet air as did re-
fresh US; and there came a smell from
off the shore like the smell of a gar
den."
The hills OH Mount Desert island are
bold and steep, running down to the
sea in striking headlands, against
which the surf of the cold northern
ocean beats continually. The charm
of the place as summer resort, by
reason of its delightfully."- cool and
bracing climate. has long been known.
But the area which has been set aside
as a national monument Is also of I'M
usual scientific interest because of the
great variety of bird and plant life
found upon 1t. Under the regime of
the federal government. this bit of the
Acadian wilderness of Maine will be
carefully guarded against vandalism,
while at the same time 1t will be open
as playground to all the people. This
is. in fact, one of the most interesting
things about It. Mount Desert island
has long been known as the stamping
ground of the wealthy. who already
own the greater part of it. The estab-
lishment there of a national monu-
ment means that no American citi-
zen shall be denied the privilege of
this American beauty spot.

THE FUTURE OF GERMANY.

This war will go down in history as
the most tragic episode in the life of
the race. The story as it will be re-
corded would have been incredible as
work of the Imagination and only
the evidence of indisputable facts will
substantiate it as history and not ro-
nance. 1t is absolutely a matter of
course that it must have a tragical end
for the organized power that has done
all the harm. After what it has done
and the character it has displayed and
is still displaying. there can be no end
except in its absolute defeat No
agreement can be made with it for
terms. because it has shown itself as
absolutely not to be trusted and there
must be no risk of a repetition of this
kind of experience.
The reputation which the ruling
power of Germany has been making
for 1t is destined to be it's ruin as a
warning empire, and it's people cannot
afford to have such a reputation con-
tinue as that of the surviving nation.
The nation will survive and the people
will have a government of their own,
but they will desire to live in peace
and to win prosperity in friendly rela-
ton with other nations. At least it
seems natural that they should have
this desire for their own sake To
attain this they will have the reputa-
ton of the past to live down and there
would be no chance of that with a sur
vival of the ruling power which made
b that reputation by its deeds.
There has been in this period of war
a display Of cruelty, of absolute lack
of moral scruple, of disregard of every
right. every principle of Justice or hui
manity, and OF truth or promise, with
out parallel in the history of mankind
That record cannot be wiped out and
there can be no escape from its effect
How can the enemies which the rulers
of that empire have made yield to any
terms with it after what they have
been forced to suffer and to sacrifice
except terms which they shall them.
selves dictate? They must absolutely
achieve victory and make their owr
terms of peace, for they cannot trus-
to anything else.
Reputation may be as sacred to q
nation as to a man. as essential to sue.
cess and the respect of mankind
Once lost it cannot be recovered with
out a change of character.

DINNER STORIES

Harry Lauder. the famous Scotch
comedian, Is known to be a man of
rather economical habits. He owns an
estate in Scotland. and one day invited
two Scotch friends of his to go fishing,
and 1t was agreed that the first to
catch a fish should stand treats at the
inn.
As Lauder was known to be an ex-
pert fisherman his friends took con-
siderable delight in assuring him that
he had as good as lost already. And

about IL afterward, both of the fell

Some cities which have placed no
age limit on registration have received
some interesting offers of assistance
A county in Missouri, for instance, has
the registration card of woman 10S
years old, who was born and obtained
her diploma as a trained nurse in
Scotland. She has offered her serv-
ices to the government during the war,
saying that she will serve anywhere.
In the same registration girl OF IL
asked if she might not go in the ca
pacity of "errand girl to France, and
added that she was prepared to pay
her own expenses
Thus the registration of women has
not only provided a list Of trained
workers on which the government
may draw. but it has shown women
their own industrial status and has
placed a new value upon their work.
Women who have never done anything
more useful than decorating a draw
ing room are now performing hard
valuable work. Others. suddenly
made to realize their ignorance, are
entering training schools. Finally,
the Importance of this registration is
demonstrated by the fact that the
enemy has attempted to interfere with
it. In every registration the local
committee has had to work against
strangers that the registration of wom-
Ell would mean the Communicating of
their food.
