HISTORY WROUGHT IN STONE
the Uncivilized Hordes of Ger
many Would Destroy.

In architecture France is supreme.
1t well may be said that without
France there would have been no Goth
ic architecture. The cathedrals of
France are absolutely unrivaled, says
Cass Gilbert in the Worlds Work. One
has only to mention the names of No
tire Dame de Paris, Bourges, Reims,
Charities, Rouen, Amiens, Beauvais and
Coutances to bring up memories of mir
acles of creative design which no
words can fittingly characterize or de-
scribe.
Wonders Of constructive ingenuity
as they are, they have yet more SUI
preme significance as evidence Of the
refinement and taste Of people in
stinct with emotion and ennobled by
ldealism in it's most exalted phase.
These great buildings give expression
to the spiritual aspirations of great
people.
They are constructions of superb
scale and fascinating beauty, embel-
lished by tracery and arabesque, cary
ing and inlay, stained glass, tapestry,
bronze and iron of marvellous crafts
manship and exquisite design. They
are the product of a thousand years
of faultless taste, the contribution Of
innumerable thousands Of craftsmen
devoted to the glory of God and the
love of France. And it is this glorious
nation that the hordes, of Germany
would destroy.

Marginal Notes Upon Books Are
Sometimes Severe.
Readers Estimates OF the Works Il, q
Circulating Library Apt to Be
Irritating to Author, If
He Saw Them. q

Not only is the battered condition Of
certain works Of fiction in circulating
Libraries sure proof Of their popular
ity, but one may even gather details
from the marginal notes made by
feminine readers. It is not sufficient
for the Commemorative pencil to under
score admired passages, observes
writer in the New Orleans Times Plea
yune; adjectives Of praise also are
freely if not always Discriminatory
bestowed.
On the closing page of some favorite
novel may often be read: Slime ~
Splendid" Lovely y or-highest
commentator of all "Grand!" One
notemaker undertook the large order,
II would read every single word she
writes" and another avoWed, with
more justice than she knew, s'You
don't often find book like this"
On the other hand, these unprofes-
sional critics can be terribly severe. A
novel which takes them out of their
depth is denounced as "a great big
bore" or, with rude terseness, '.Rot!"
or even, in one case Of evident exas-
peration, 'sYou think you know it all"
A vigorous commentator on one of
Mary Cholmondeley's novels did not
wait for the last, but on the first page
warned away possible readers with
the word, "Punk," and three exclama-
ton points. The sprawling, Uniformed
hand pursued the author with invet-.
crate scOrn throughout the book, mani
Testing that strange sense Of superb
GRITTY which frequently characterizes
ignorance.
A verse Of French poetry evoked
the impatient query, ''Why not write
Greek?" while above another was
scrubbed, "Aw, piffle! We are. not all
French, you know" Observe that no
intellectual curiosity was kindled in,
that thick brain to know what the
French words meant, nor any realiza-
ton awakened that we enrich our
selves by knowledge of another Ian
guage.
The authors humorous touches were
clearly taken Fas serious by this out
ragged reader who, after one passage,
wrote mockingly, "My hero!" When a
masculine character says something
''hoarsely'' it is asked with biting sar-
casm, 'sDid he have cold?'
The hero conducts the heroine
through a dark room, Knocking her
carefully against pieces of furniture"
as usually happens when one person
tries to pilot another through obscure
ty, but this merciless critic demands,

Of tastelessly arranged room the
author said, ''The furniture was not Of
| the kind that expresses only one idea,
and, that a bad one," which calls forth
the comment. Like this book" The
sun is not permitted to shine "brave.
ly'' without the jeer, ''The sun ought
to have a medal"
Finally the cup Of the authors in
EQUITIES, so far as the captious reader
is concerned, quite overflows, and on
the last page we find the verdict, "This

Cost Of Enrolling a Soldier.

Figures complied from the records
of the first draft show that it cost
the government almost exactly SIS
for each man drafted, according to
Popular Science Monthly. All but z
cents of this amount represents the
expense of the draft boards. In COM
parison with this, 1t is interesting to
learn that the volunteer system OF
recruiting cost S24.4S per man in 1914,
1914 in 1915 and $2S95 between July,
1915, and April, 1917. These latter
figures, however, included the recruits
travelling expenses and the cost Of his
subsistence prior to acceptance.

Canals Now Fish Ponds.

Actual stocking of New York's new
fish ponds in the beds Of the old Erie
and Champlain canals is in full swing.
The necessary construction work has
been completed and the fish used for
stocking purposes are being rushed
from various points to the canals and
liberated at once.
The first consignment consisted of
large number Of yellow perch fry
which were planted in one of the sec.
lions of the old Erie canal near Am.
sterdam. According to the conserva'
ton commission, quantity of perch
spawn was collected by state EN-
ployees in Adirondack lakes, where
these fish are a menace to other fishes
in the same waters. It's removal Is
therefore accomplishing double

DEEM y PICTURE OUT OF PLACE
British Authorities Request Removal
ct kaiser's Portrait From
Tonga Kings Palace.

Germany's interesting relations with
the little kingdom of Tonga in the
South Pacific are recalled by recent
incidents there. a few years back q
life-size portrait of the kaiser mounted
within massive gilt frame was pre-
scented by the German government to
King George Tuboa II, the present
ruler of the archipelago. Forthwith
this picture adorned the walls of the
wooden palace at Nukualofa, the cap
ital Of the kingdom. Germans who,
shortly before the war, were rather
conspicuous, in Tonga -Were wont to
admire the painting when they came
Moreover, close at hand were busts Of
Emperor Frederick Of Germany and
Prince Won Bismarck. So delightfully."-
informal in many ways is the Tongan
court that the busts did excellent serv-
ice as hat racks on festive occasions.
But not so with the present from the
"All Highest" But alack for the big
picture of the kaiser in little Tonga !
After the war had been in progress for
some time the fact of it's existence and
whereabouts came within the purview
of the British government and that
government requested the Tongan gov
eminent to remove it from the palace.
The pith of this request was that Ton
ga is British protectorate. But not
withstanding Tonga is a British pro-
tectorate it is the last independent
kingdom in the Pacific and it prides
itself on having not only monarch
but cabinet and a parliament. New

MEAT INCREASE
At Time NEEDED
Producers Responded NobIy
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.


In line with the general plan Of con-
servation formulated by the U. 8. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance Of the United States into
the war the contribution made By the
meat producers Of this country to the
war program Is of particular signid-
canoe, as 1t demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
ministration by the m Eat producers Of
the country.
According to reports Of the o. 8.
Department Of Agriculture. there was
an increase In cattle Of 10, 238. 900 head
and II, AL. 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled TO January / last. In the same
period there was a decrease Of $4,000
head Of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January / unofhcial infOrma-
ton indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an Increase In
average weight.
Following the request Of the Food
Administered ton for increase In hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1900, 100000 pounds
more Of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80.
1917, amounted to 8O3, liz, 900 pounds,
while for the same months Of 1918 the
production was 1.277 $50, 900 pounds,
an increase Of over 374, 100000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period In 1917 In
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1928 100000 pounds as
against 1,454, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
l, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products.
to meet the added demands Of the mil
y lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation OF
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program In the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
It has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on US for the coming year.
There will be q world shortage In fats.
and 1t Is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply Its deflcien-
ey. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.
