The Sacrament.

France is the Christ of nations and her
land
Is like the Sayiours body, full of scars,
The sacred stigmata of countless wars,
Where men have taken the last stand,
And drawn devoted swords
To die in battle with barbarian hordes.
Her cities are the living monuments
Which mark the holy ground where he
roes stood
In libertv's defense,
Against the tide and food
OF enyious darkness. They are citadels
Wherein the sacred flame
OF liberty was kept alight and fed
By martyrs blood
In torrents shed.
Her cities testify to miracles
OF history. Each one has said
To the great infidels
OF its own time; ''Ye shall not passl"
And the invaders came
With every claim
That ever was,
From many a nation and with many a
name,
Tours, Chalons, Paris, Orleans and Yer
dun
Are stations on sainted road. Each
one
OF its own victory tells
Over the Goth, the Vandal, Moslem or
the Hun.
The western gospel Of deliverance
From every slavery
That chained mans body or subdued his
mind
To caste or king, or kept his vision blind,
In unenlightened ignorance,
Is written in the history of France.
She IL the inspired word of liberty,
Incarnate in the flesh. Her testament,
Wherever her disciples went,
From continent to continent,
Established the republican ideals
Upon the ruins of the old Bastiles.
The name of France has been trumpet
sound,
At which the walls of every Jericho
Around mans spirit have fallen to the
ground Louis K. Anspacher.

ostend may eventually become a pleas
ure resort again instead of breeding
place of all the horrors of war If one
were to know of the departure of every
U-boat from that base and of the re-
turn Of every U-boat that had sent large
numbers of innocent non -combatants to a
watery grave, the history of ostend
would make one of the blacklist pages in
the history Of the world. Much Of the
German fiendishness in this war has be-
gun its terrible application with the de-
parture of German submarines from this
naval base of Ostend Therefore, the oc-
cupaton of that port by the allied forces
is one of the most satisfactory occur
rences in a long succession of pleasing
events during the past few months.

DR.. G. S. Caverly, president Of the
Vermont state board Of health and pro-
lessor of hygiene at the University of
Vermont, may be put down as a martyr
TO the fight against influenza in Vermont,
as he contracted the disease while en-
gagged in work for the state board or in
local practice in Rutland. For more
than a quarter of century Dr. Caverly
has been connected with the state board
of health until his name had almost
come to be synonymous with the name
of that organization; and in that time
he was largely instrumental in building
up the public health Of Vermont by in
Producing new methods of treatment of
epidemics. In the position as president
of the state board he has welded pow.
erful influence for good in Vermont, and
his passing will be serious loss to the
whole state.

Major General Sir Frederick Maurice,
the British military writer, asserts that
Germany still has an army of four mil
lion men on the western front, his state
ment tending to discredit the growing
belief that the German army is but a
shadow of its former self. Difficult as it
is to believe the statement, there will
perhaps be toning down of the over
confidence that has actuated some of the
allies, particularly the American people.
There is absolutely no doubt of final vic
tory for the allies but that victory may
not come completely as soon as many of
us have expected. This means that there
must be no relaxation Of effort at home
or on the scene Of conflict Nothing but
the fun strength Of the allies win do the
job and do it right.

EACH SHIP FOR ITSELF.

The terrible disaster off the British
Isles, in which over 300 American sol
diers lost their lives because of col
lision between two transports, might
have been made less costly in human
lives perhaps if the steamship Kashmir,
which crashed into the Otranto, had
stopped and lowered her boats to pick
up the men who would have jumped into
the sea had they seen that efforts were
being made to succor them. As it was,
the rescue work was left to British tor
pedo boat and it was largely accom-
plished through the action of the war
vessel in going near enough to the dis
abled ship to permit the men to jump
from the rail of the steamer to the deck
of the torpedo boat. The Kashmir pro-
ceeded on her journey, it is said, in ac-
cordance with an admiralty rule, what
ever that rule is, leaving shipload of
soldiers to work out their own salvation
through the inadequate assistance rem
dered by the torpedo boat 1t is, no
doubt, good rule that orders other
ships of convoy to proceed when one
of their number has been disabled by a
u boat because in that case there would
be imminent danger that other trans
ports would be torpedoed; but when
there is no,nlng to indicate that subma
rines are in the vicinity and when a
transport is disabled by collision with
one of its own convoy it would seem to
be more reasonable for the second trans
port TO stand by and assist in the work
of rescue.

The desperate condition Of the German

Marshal Foch began his real offensive

counter. attack against the allies. To be
sure, there have been local counter-at-
tacks at widely scattered points but they
were only local counter attacks and in
tended merely to hold back the advance
of the allies at some critical point until
the bulk of the German forces in that
section could be withdrawn, If the Ger
man army has real offensive power at
the present time it would strike back

A country boy goes to war and be-
comes lieutenant. He writes letter
to his mother, the contents Of which OBJ
viously are for home consumption only.
The mother didn't stop to consider that
perhaps her sons letter needed editing
She gave it to the local newspaper and
if the reporter saw the need he didn't rem
edy it. So it comes about that the lieu
tenant figures in newspaper story of a
stirring adventure in which he is the
self-confessed hero. In due time the
home paper reaches the home boys at
the front Do the home boys guy the
writer Of the letter. They do. And the
lieutenant doubtless wishes that he might
be assigned to some hazardous mission
from which there might be no return.
Our sympathy is measurably with the
lieutenant. Yet the autographed nara
tive of heroism is such dangerous thing
that one should hesitate to impsrt it to
his trusting mother.
