BOYS LETTERS TO MOTHER
Missives Written From Trench or En-.
campment Have Much More Than
Ordinary Meaning.

The soldier boy should understand
that he must do good deal of the
letter-writing himself. He should not
depend upon the mother or sister to do
it all. A letter from home is a grand
influence but letter home makes the
writer truer, stronger and nobler. Re-
member every word the boy writes has
a mission in 1t, and that mission EN-.
braces himself as well as the loved
ones at home. A boy can make for
himself q fine character by simply
writing to his mother. He cannot hold
converse with her even by mail with
out becoming better boy. He is not
in near as much danger from army
follies and sins after writing letter
to his mother. Any boy who writes
frequently to his home will make bet
ter soldier and come out of the war a
truer man. The army is school and
letter writing is recitation that shows
a boys Intellectual and spiritual prog
ress, and it will do what recitation is
designed to do-stir him to do his best.
A letter to mother is a loving thought
Of her and these loving thoughts make
the boy brave, truer soldier.-Ohio

The Japanese Week.

In old Japan the week was entirely
unknown, and it was not until the pres.
ent era that the ichiroku, or holidays,
one Of the "ones'' and "sixes" of each
month Il. e., on the first, sixth, elev-
enth, etc.), were introduced. But that
was speedily abandoned for the week
system. Sunday is an official holiday,
with names adapted from the Occiden.
tal names. as follows: Nickayobi (Sun.
day.. Getsuyobi (Moon-day), Kayobi
(Mars-day), Suiyobi (Mercury-day),
Mokuyobi (Jupiter-day), Kinyobi
(Venus-day), Doyobi (Saturn- day..
Sunday is in vulgar parlance also call
ed Dontaka, which is a corruption of
the Dutch Zontag, and Saturday is
called Handow-that is, "half-Sun-
day."

that merchant marine owed its very
existence to the forbearance Of Great
Britain and that ut the first breath Of
war 1t would melt away.
Germany, therefore, determined to
pin her faith on railways which should
pass through lands under her control.
This is the secret Of the Berlin-Bag-
dad railway. This is the reason why
Turkey was brought under her domin-
ion and Serbia was sacrificed. To this
belief In her continental destiny is due
the desire to exercise her influence
over Austria. The fulfllment of her
plan involved the control Of CONSTANT
nople. since only at Constantinople
Gun the water separating Europe from
Asia Minor be crossed. Serbia had to
be subjected to her dominion because
the only practicable path for a rail.
way to Constantinople was through
the Morava valley which lay in Serb
ian territory. If Germany can control
this route she need not consider her
unfavOrable position as regards the
sea. She will have a commercial high
way .unassailable by any power. She
will also have vast territory capable
Of economic development. She can
finally make the present sea routes SO
dangerous by attack from submarine
bases, either in the north or In the
neighborhood of Constantinople, that
they will have to be abandoned. The
freedom Of the seas will have been
destroyed. the economic unity of the
world seriously impaired. and the
work Of centuries rendered Of little or
no avail.
Must Destroy Land Power.
The submarine is significant to us
then not because through it's use sew
eral hundred American lives have been
lost or because a few American ships
have been destroyed, but because the
whole fabric of international eco
nomic life is threatened. The only
way in which to save that life-and
that 1t is worth saving none will deny
lis to destroy Germany's land power,
or cause her to realize that the world
will not permit any nation so to con-
duct herself as to imperil ideals which
after so many years Of toll and trou-
Bile on the part of the civilized world
have received all but universal recog-
milton. That we as Americans are In
terested in these questions is thus
quite evident. At first blush the In
terest which we have in securing to
Serbia an outlet on the Adriatic, or
In the rehabilitation OF the Balkan
states does not perhaps appear. Nor is
the reason evident, perhaps, at first
why we should insist upon the emanci-
patton Of the Slavs submerged in the
Austro-Hungarian empire. A strong
Serbia and weak Austria, however,
are absolutely necessary If Germany
is still disposed to use the submarine
In the manner in which 1t has been
used. For only under these condi-
tons will the land route upon which
she has staked so much become impos.
sible. Only when such land route
has been abandoned will Germany be
forced to return to the sea. When
she does she will find 1t necessary to
observe the rules which have been
elaborated to protect the freedom of
the. sea. Only when she does so can
we hope for further development
in the direction Of the economic unity
Of the world which means SO much for
human progress.
