Dear Friend 1t would ill become me to waste a word on my
own feelings except inasmuch as they can be common to us both in
such a situation as you describe yours to be-and which, by SYM
pathy, l can make mine by the anticipation of a few years at most.
1t is a great thing-the greatest-that a human being should have
passed the probation of life, and sum up its experience in a witness
to the power and love of God. l dare congratulate you. All the help
1 can offer, in my poor degree, is the assurance that l see ever more
reason to hold by the same hope-and that, by no means in ignor,
ance of what has been advised to the contrary; and for your sake ]
would wish it to be true that / had SO much of genius as to permit
the testimony of an especially privileged insight to come in aid of the
ordinary argument. For / know L myself have been aware Of the
communication of something more subtle than a ratiocinatiye pro
cess, when the convictions Of genius have thrilled my soul to- its
depths, as when Napoleon, shutting up the New Testament, said Of
Christ, "Do you know that | am an understander Of menf Well,
lie was no man" (Savezvous que je me COMMAS e. hommesf Eth bien,
celuila ne fut pas un homme).
Or as when Charles Lamb, in a gay fancy with some friends as
to how he and they would feel if the greatest OF the dead were to
appear suddenly in flesh and blood once more-on the final sugges-
ton, "And if Christ entered this ROOM ~ changed his manner at
once, and suffered out, as his manner was when moved, "You see,
if Shakespeare entered, we sho lid all rise if He appeared, we must
kneel' Or, not to multiply instances, as when Dante wrote what I
will transcribe from my wife's Observation-Disclosures l recorded it IA
years ago-"Thus l believe, thus / affirm, thus 1 am certain that it
is, that from this life | shall pass to another better, there were that
LADY lives, of whom my soul was enamoured.' r& *
Dear friend, may have wearied you in spite Of your good will.
God bless you, sustain, and receive you !-Reciproeate this blessing
with yours affectionately, Robert Browning.

extraordinary suggestions for dealing
with hostile aircraft have been re-
ceiyed:
The clouds are, to be frozen artt-
ficially and guns mounted on them;
heavy guns are to be suspended from
Captive b%alloons,- the moon is to be
covered with a big black balloon; air
planes are to be armed with scissors,
or scythes. like Boadicea's chariot, or
to trail bombs behind them on a long
cord; heat rays are to be projected for
the purpose Of setting zeppelins on IRE;
electric waves to paralyze the magne-
tos. One Of the most popular sugges.
to an anti-aircraft gun, get the light
on the object, and shoot along the
beam: but unfortunately, the path OF
a shell is quite different from that Of g
ray OF light. Most elaborate .'decoy'
schemes are sometimes worked out for
the confusion OF the enemy, compr.s-
ing In at least one case sham factories
with chimneys and hooters complete.
To prevent the polished lines of a rail-
way showing at night. the last car
riage of the last train, according to
another correspondent, was to camou-
flage them by dribbling backing as 1t
went along.
Other proposals were:
A balloon carrying magnets hung on
strings to- attract the rifles out OF
mems hands.
A shell to contain fleas or other YER
min ~inoculated with disease.
A shell with a man inside 1t tc steer

trenches by pneumatic propulsion.
The throwing of live wire cables

v~ancing bodies OF infantry by means
of rockets.

DR.. STRAINS CASE.
Green Mountain Physician Confesses
Failure to Return Flour,

Dr. j. f. Strain, of Green Mountain,
active and efficient worker in all war
service activities, chairman of the local
liberty loan committee and of the Red
Cross war fund work, made a public
confession before the county council
Of defense Wednesday afternoon to the
effect that he had thoughtlessly and
careessly neglected to return three
sacks of surplus flour which he had
purchased over a year ago He eX-
planned that he had planned to do so,
and had wrapped the -four ready to he
carried to town and then had neglected
to do so until one of his neighbors had
been fined for boarding. Then the
doctor said he realized his own neglect
and hustled his -four to town before he
could be summoned by the food admin
iStration.
In order to place his case before the
public without embarrassing the food
administration he made a public apol-
ogy to the county council of defense.
His intention had been TO return the
flour, altho it had been purchased a
year before. but he had neglected to do
50 until his neighbor got into trouble.
Then he returned it forthwith before
complaint could be made to the au-
thorities. He felt that he had been
negligent and that he, owed both an
apology and a statement of facts be-
cause Of his connection with war sery-
ice activities.
The coupcil, by unanimous vote eX-
pressed its confidence in the doctors in
te-rity of purpose, and accepted his
apology and explanation. Its action

food administration. as Dr. Strain has
