WAR SPIRIT AGAIN IN THE
ASCENDANT IN GERMANY

1t has nrst TO be noted that the war
spirit is again in the ascendant in Ger
many The vast majority OF the people
are. apparently. determined to accept
only 4 German peace and the military
party and leading industrialists are
openly advocating large acquisitions of
territory in the west together with
huge indcmnitics in the shape either
uf money or of raw materials. At the
same time. there have lately been In
,.ications OF growing discomfort in Ger
tain units of the army, and isolated
attempts arc reported at forming rev.
dictionary committees on the Russian
model. But the loyalty of the great
body of the Gernan forces is not likely
to he affected, except possibly by some
crushing military disaster.
The steps taken by Germany to
transport grain from Russia are OF in
tcrcst. Crews have been recruited for
\ large number of harbor tugs from
North Sea and Baltic ports. These
tugs proceed TO Emden and by the
Ems through the Ems Rhine Canal up
the Rhine and Main and thus down
tho Danube into the Black Sea in or
der to tow into Germany barges of
wheat obtained from Odessa The
large amount OF river tonnage char
tered from Holland is to be employed
In the Same service.
The textile trades are chiefly hit by
INC shortage OF raw materials. No
real substitute for cotton has been de-
vised and the attempt to utilize sting
ing rettle fiber in it's place does not
seem to have been very successful. The
total output Of nettle fibcrs for the cur
rent year has been estimated at 1890
tons. whereas 10000 tons OF stalks
would be required TO yield enough ma :
tcrial for 100000 mems shirts. or, In
other words, for one shirt for eyery
tenth man in the army. The area un-
der max In Germany has been Increased
from 10000 TO $4,000 hectares but. even
so, it is still 100000 hectares less than

The hope expressed by these gem
tlcmcn that the bread ration would
be maintained has not been univer-
sally realized Thus the Deutsche
Tageszeitung OF March points out
that bread rations have been curtailed
in some districts, and mentions one
case in which they had been reduced

A Plight at a Party

Dear Cynthla---I read the discussions in
your column with quite a little amusement.
iuhis letter may bo OF some help to the
troubled people, l am afraid Helen s

while Blarncy carries II to tho other ex-
treme. In the first place why is It neces.

When | take young lady out or go to n
party l do II solely with the idea of having
jolly good time and to make new Rcquaint-
anceH because I am afraid Cupid Is bound
TO have his own way afteE all.
To illustrate this. when l was in my
freshman year / was invited to a party TO
be given by one of tho fellows sisters. Now
| don't know just how It happened. but. to
make long story short. l was compelled
to borrow a dress suit from another fellow.
The suit was all right except that tn"
trousers were quite little too tight and
also short. However. after a lot OF fun.
FOR / must admit I cut funny figure
mad the best time OF my life.
Moreover. week later one OF the fellows
| met there invited me to become a member
or his fraternity, Now I might add that
am no ravng beauty nor q Beau Brummell.

and they are usually always. IL you plea ase.

coffee. Thanking you in advance
for an early reply.
Mrs. D. Z. H.
Mrs. D. E. H.-Please do not send
stamps for reply. .'Phe subject of
good coffee is a very Important one,
and one that will require a knowl-
edge Of the various blends of coffee
and various kinds of pots. Coffee
can be made by boiling in an old
fashioned pot, by filtering or per-
colating, or by steaming. Any one
of these methods will give you a
splendid cup of coffee.
It is necessary that the pot be
scrupulously clean. DO not wash
the coffee pot with the dishes.
Rather wash it in warm soapy water
by itself. Rinse it we'll in cold
water and then place where it may
be thoroughly aired when not in use.
The old-fashioned method Of boil
ing: allow one tablespoonful for
each cup desired and then place the
coffee in the pot and add cold water.

The BIa5ed Path

Just when the path Is lost to me.
Bewildered wanderer in the maze.
Upon some unexpected tree
l spy the Woodman's blaze:
A mytic rune OF sight or sound.
A message quick from sense TO soul
That lifts the spirit from the ground
And speeds 1t to the goal.
A windhower nodding by an oak
Has cried deliverance from afar:
Once in the dark a frangrance spoke,
And once it was a star.
The silver fiuting of thrush;
The bursting Of sunken flame;
A sigh of wind, a sudden hush,
Out of the depths l came.
A burning challenge to despair
FLASHED from an idly-open book,
A small dumb creatures silent prayer
A friends revealing look,
And all the doubtful horrors fade,
The weary heart leaps up again.
Through tangled thlckets in the shade
The path shows broad and plain,
-Abble Farwell Brown in Woman's
Magazine.
