Tonight there will be American boys in

OF No Mans Land, American boys in the
darknessand the mud and cold of the trenches
under the ceaseless thunder of guns and the

along the pitch black, shell-to torn roads.

Through the long, dreary hours, as they
wait and watch in the dark, while dangers
lurk on every hand, their thoughts turn
to the homes they have left behind, homes
on distant farms, in scattered villages, in great
cities, and they see in imagination the plea
SAINT home lights shining out into the night.

Some Real Conservation.
From the Outlook.

Germany. Austria. Australia, Bermuda. Denmark. France, Great
Britain. Holland, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Sweden have
adopted the daylight saving plan, which consists in setting the clock
forward one hour during certain of the spring. summer and autumn
months, and setting it back to standard time in the winter. The prac-
tical working of this plan is very simple. If at midnight at the close
OF April 30 next every clock and watch i'm the United States were set
forward one hour, the man who rises at Z and breakfasts at 1880
would still pursue his accustomed habits by the watch. but by standard
or solar time he would rise at 8 and breakfast at 6:3O. He would
apparently be getting up, taking his breakfast, going to the office or
store, and eating his midday and evening meals at just the hour he
always had been: but he would actually have an hour more of the
clear and refreshing daylight of the morning and a longer evening of
sunlight after his days work was done.
The countries that have tried this plan are completely satisfied
with 1T. 1T not only gives more time for daylight work and pleasure,
but it is of distinct economic value. 1t has led to the annual saving in
fuel last year of ~$35,o0o0oo in Germany, $l2 Oo0 600 in England, aud
$lOyOO0OO0 IN France. A British parliamentary commission has
reported, moreover, that this simple device for providing more day
light hours has resulted in a manifest saving of light and health. Last
April bills were introduced into congress providing for setting the
clock forward on the last Sunday of April and setting it back the last
Sunday IN September. The Senate passed this legislation last June,
but the House has debated and discussed it until about a month ago.
A compromise has been reached between the Senate and House com
mittees, and the two bodies have now agreed, we believe, on legislation
which, if passed, will make the period of daylight saving in this
country to extend from the last OF March to the last of October, a
period of seven months. 1t is believed that if the daylight saving
plan is adopted it will have a very beneficial effect on the production
of food in this country during the coming summer.

DESTROYED FRANCE TO
BLOOM IN FIVE YEARS

Paris-The damaged industries and
the upheaved and exhausted farm
lands Of France. It is thought now.
may be restored to their full produce
tive capacity within Ave years after the
of peace, with the exception
OF denuded forests and the most grave
ly wasted land in the immediate prox-
unity OF the line where the front has
practically stationary for more
than three years.
These are some OF the elements upon
which they count to make up for what
France will have lost: Continued and
use of female labor in indus
tries; entrance Of youths into active
business and industry at an earlier age:
greater activity and consequent greater
productive capacity of all categories of
workers; n an enormous extension
of h use OF modern labor saving
equipment In the factory and on the
farm.
The development Of water power will
contribute immensely tt fill the yoid in
industrial facilities while five years re-
cruits of boys coming to age for active
participation in the country's affairs is
expected to replace at least a third Of
the wastage in human material.

Our Valuable Peat Supply.
From United State. eeo!oaie.l survey auL,etin.

where the climate and the topography
are favorable to the accumulation Of
partly decomposed vegetable matter.
Many deposits are found also in the
Atlantic coastal plain. from New Jersey
southwark to Florida. In regions Of
heavy rainfall along the Pacific a
peat bogs occur wherever the drainage
is so greatly interrupted that the soil
becomes permanently saturated with
water.
1t is estimated that more than 1900
square miles of swamp N in the
United States contains peat beds of
good quality, and that the total avail
able fuel in these deposits would
amount to more than 10000. 000, 600 tons,
a quantity that, If it. could he distrib-
uted. would furnish heat and power for
the entire country for many a
Much Of this material is in states that
have no known deposits of coal and
that account of their cold climate and
their manufacturing industries con-
sumo large quantities of fuel, n con-
stantly increasing percentage of which
has to be bought by rail md water from
distant mines. According to a rccent
estimate made by Prof. r. X. Soper in a
paper on the peat deposits OF Minne-
sofa, published by the Minnesota geo.
logical survey, more than 5000, 600, 600
tons of air dried peat fuel can be OBJ
tanned from deposits i'm that state alone
The utilization of these deposits would
augment the local fuel supply and in
cidently would relieve the strain on our
transportation facilities by furnishing
fuel to an area where coal is now
brought by the longest haul.
Peat produced by the decomposition
of sphagnum moss is SO antiseptic and
absorbent that 1t is used as a dressing
for wounds and is IN excellent substi-
tute for m~edicated cotton. This fact
was recognized many years ago I'm
Europe, where Sphagnum peat Ia now
extensively used In preparing surgical
dressings. According to Professor
Soper, who has made a detailed study
Of the peat deposits in northern United
States. there are many square miles OF
sphagnum bog in the northern counties
Of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
that would supply material suitable for
antiseptic applications. It will not be
necessary to incur the expense Of deep
excavation. for immense quantities o.
sphagnum can be taken from the upper
parts Of The deposits. Sphagnum peat
Is also abundant In Maine, and some -
found In New York and northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Peat a frequently been used a. Z
source Of charcoal and coke, Of various
by-products from coke ~retorts, such ~
those obtained from the distiIlatjo0 Of
wood and Of fuel and illuminating eaa.
as we'll as in making paper. substitutes
for wood. and packing material. The
prospective value of the peat deposits
of the country as a source OF these
products is much larger than their
! value as a source of fuel.

and Hel-The Creed of the Soldier.

'~littlest ones, my baby had closed her
tired eyes.
At h Casino, l found the two beau
tlful children i have pictured.
The Girl With the Sad Eyes.
The boy had a ragged, half-healed
scar on the side Of his face, and the
girl the saddest eyes l have ever looked
upon. l followed them into one of the
rooms where they were to be examined,
and l asked the boy:
Where is your father"
did not know then what l learned
later. that every child in France makes
only one of two answers to that ques-
ton III est a la guerre," or III est
mort"
He Is at the war-or he is dead.
This means that all French men from
20 to 45 who are not dead or disabled
are fighting u battles.
This boy looked up trembling and
answered nothing.
"A Red Cross worker who was stand
ing near, said:
He is afraid to answer, as he knows
only French, and that scar on his face
was made by q boche trooper who
struck him because he said politely,
'Merci, Monsieur as the Hun rudely
pushed him u Of the way.
THE lady wears la croix rogue
Jacques, she will not hurt you, answer
her"
The boy answered that his father was
at war.
Perhaps he is still alive" said the
Red Cross worker. "he has not heard
from him since the beginning Of the
war;"
Where is their mother" i asked.

Lincoln and the Kittens.
From Manford.s Magazine.

President Lincoln was as sensitive to
external Impressions as the test paper Of
the hemis The results Of a battle pained
as though he himself were among the
wounded or had lost a brave son. This
sympathy-that is. his power Of putting
himself in another's p~lace-extended even
to animals.
The day on which Grants army began
the final advance the president sat in a
small telegraph office at City Point, re-
ceiving kilograms and examining a peck
ct chart. Three little kittens were rum
ming about the hut. in which was the
office. The president Of the nation, whose
fate was in the scales. picked UP the kit
tens. placed them on the table, and said:
You poor little miserable creatureA
what brought yOu in this camp Of war
riors? Where is your mother?"
THE mother is dead,' answered tho
colonel In charge.
"Then she can't grieve for them" sd
the president, with a sigh. "as many 4
poor mother is grieving for the son No
