 NQW \ PROBLEM

SYDNEY, Australia. Aug. 15.-The final disposition of tke German colo nies in the Pacific: the Pacific Mon. roe doctrine" broached by the prime minister, William NJ. Hughes. in his speech before the Pilgrims Club in New York, and the recent report of the Australian interstate commerce commission upon British and Austra Han trade in the South Pacific" all relate directly or indirectly to discus sion which Is becoming more or less frequent in the Australian, New Zea- land and Fiian press touching a fed eration of the South Sea islands The interstate commerce commission said in its report:
 The government of the islands controlled by the British crown Is at present lacking in cohesion and unity of policy. The commission is satisfied that the islands under the British crown should be grouped un- der more coherent system. The commission has suggested that ir order to insure timely settlement of this paramount question of govern mcnt a joint inquiry by representa- tion of the United Kingdom, Austra- lia and New Zealand should be under [ n nt 10 p-t. fGh n island commissioners said in Sydney while on a recent visit here:
 The suggestion that a conjoint commission of inquiry be appointed at an early date should in my opinion be carefully considered by the public of the commonwealth The question as to whether administrative powers should be granted to such a commis. sion, which would represent the in terests of the imperial government. of the commonwealth. and of the Do minion of New Zealand, is one which also claims the full consideration of statesmen.
 British interests at present are widely spread under many forms of control, and difficulties are constantly created by the lack of effective co. operation. Great Britain. Australia and New Zealand are carrying on the work of administration through off m b,, ,rtyl, each other. There are crown colonies Fiji and the Gilbert and ElIice islands, the imperial protectorate of the solomon islands. Australian de- pcndencies such as Papua, and the islands under the civil administration of New Zealand To add to this di, yersity of control we now have the military occupation by Australia and by New Zealcnd of the late German Pacific possessions 1t is a maze of control with centers Of reference in London, Melbourne and Wellington.
 "ObjeCtion may be made to the grant of administrative powers al present to any commission. The war is still on and it may be urged that little can be done-at least so far as the late German Pacific possessions are concerned-till the issue of it Is known. But, pending peace, why not appoint board or commission to ob- tain information and. as far as possi ble, to simplify the existing adminis- put the interests of Great Britain, of Australia and of New Zealand into common pool for the moment, and Hhen the peace conference sits much valuable information should be avail able"

How to Make q Service FIaa.

Perhaps It is due to the familiar pie
ture Of Betsy Ross with the first Amer
lean flag spread out upon her lap and
George Washington and two Of his
friends looking on that gives us such
bias to the handmade nag, but never
theless, a sentiment attaches to 1t that
belongs to no machine-made produc-
ton. Very properly, we should feel
about our service nag in this way. An
12x12-inch service flag may be made
from one and third yards Of four-inch
wide red ribbon, ten inches Of white
ribbon and enough blue to form the
stars to which you are entitled. Cut
the red ribbon into four pieces, two Of
Is inches length and the other two so
that they finish of four and a half
inches, allowing for seams. Sew these
strips together, inserting the white
piece for the field. Then applique a
blue star. or embroider 1t, according to
desire. The white field will be varied
IN size In accordance with the num-
Der of stars used.

REGULARITY OF LOST HAND
That He Should Bs Able to Feel u
Alternately Open and Close Puz-
xIss Soldier.

A British soldier writes: Most pee
pie, think, know that when person
has lost a limb. that person still re-
tains the Sense" or feeling. Of the
missing limb. As case In point,
might mention that a friend OF mine
who had lost a leg In the war. In an
unthinking moment took step on the
missing leg and came TO grief. l my
self had the misfortune to lose my left
hand on the Messines ridge last June,
and all the pain / have suffered from
the wound has been In the hand which
no longer possess. Now, the peculiar
part Of 1t all is that on alternate days
the fingers Of the missing hand open
and close; that Is to say, yesterday
they were closed; today they are open.
Tomorrow they will be closed again.
Can this be explained? This change
takes place during sleep, and once or
twice, on restless nights. / have actu-
ally felt the change taking place. i
was lefthanded, and during the attack
I carried my revolver In the missing
hand. When the fingers are closed
they are exactly N the same position
as If they were still grasping the re-
volver. That / can understand, but
why should they open on alternate
days? The only explanation / can Of
fer is that what remains of the hand
after 1 was wounded was amputated
exactly twenty-four hours later. Also.
I was wounded somewhere about 4
o'clock In the morning. and was oper-
ated on about the same time the fol-
lowing morning, and the opening and
closing of the fingers takes place about
this time.

where SOLDIERS ARE BETTER
Army Officer Explains the Benefits OF

Resistance.

In an interview with Surgeon Gen.
eral Gorgas for the American Maya
zine, about the chances your boy has
to come back alive, the author says,
referring to another army officer for
the moment:
Major Grille said another thing
which every mother and father ought
to learn by heart. He said: The
thing which affects a wounded mans
chances more than almost anything
else is physiological resistance. That
is where the soldier puts it all over
the civilian every time. When a man
goes out from the worries, RESPONSE
bilities, anxieties, and irritations Of
civil life to the peaceful pursuit Of
war
"He stopped and laughed. Then he
went on seriously:
az mean thatl I've seen these SAL
low, pasty young clerks get out and
turn into men! I've seen young chaps
who were little more than flabby hu-
man jellyfish transformed by their life
in the trenches into husky fellows that
were grit clean through. They laughed
at things which would have finished
them completely before they went into
the army. They had developed the
biggest factor in a wounded mans
chances-physiological resistance. And
1t was their life as soldiers that gave
them this new possession"

Last Sunday morning the congrega-
ton was better than 1t has been, put
was not what 1t should be- Inc sup.
ject was Joy in Doing the VIII OF
God" with the text taken from John
1917: IF we know these things
happy are We IL ye do them" The
text sounded paradoxical, but 1t was
literally true that the happiest ex'
perjences we have are those in which
we are doing the known Will OF God.
This is not only true to the expe-
rience OF men and women under the
Christian dispensation, but was true
to the experiences Of men before that
as voiced by the Psalmist 4O:S: !
delight to do thy will, 0 my God:
Yea Thy law is written within my
heart" II you are not happ, try
doing the perfect will Of God as a
happiness producer. II everyone did
the perfect will of God we would all
rejoice to do His will in concert.
The Junior Choir did some especial
work. Miss Thelma Kennedy played
a violin solo for the Voluntary. The
anthem was THE Way Of Love
Leads Heavenward," offertory, Gross,
Crown and Thorns."
The night service was well at
tended and the choir had good music.
The pastors subject was THE First
Preacher" with the text from Gen.
5:24: And Enoch walked with God:
and he was not for God took him."
We had only a glimpse Of the man
as found in a few verses in Gen., 9Th
chapter, and in Jude 14-16 and Heb.
1855. Withal it was so brief, we
learned that even in a thus wicked pc
riod of the world God sent preacher
to tell them the truth. We have
only a brief mention of His message,
but 1t is enough to give us an idea
of the hope he held out to sinful men.
A Savior who was to come to the
children Of men. Jude, 14th and 18th
verses. and Enoch also the 18th from
Adries, prophesied Of these, saying:
Behold, the Lord cometh with ten
thousand of His saints to execute
judgment upon all and to convince
all that are ungodly among them OF
all their ungodly deeds which they
have ungodly committed, and Of all
their hard speeches which ungodly
sinners have spoken against Him."
