THE HOPE OF THE WORT
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

THE hope of the world is not alone
 that the armies of humanity will be victorious, but that the spirit and purpose of our warfare will prevail in our victory. The hope of the world IS Tn the Red Cross, because the Red Cross is vocing this spirit and pur- pose that must, through the force of our arms, triumph. Just to the de- gree that we can evidence this Red Cross spirit of mercy and brother hood we will hold true in the dan gerous hour of victory to the ideals that have forced us into the trenches in the defense of human rights and human liberty.
 The one sane and saving thought in this delirium of death that now possesses the world is the Red Cross.
 Wherever the storms of battle hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless destruction, in trench and camp and hospital, these soldiers of mercy with heroism unsurpassed are carrying the flag of the highest conceivable ideals Of humanity. The ideals for which our armies have taken the field are. by these unarmed hosts proclaimed
 
 to friend and foe, in that unmistaka- ble language of universal mercy and brotherhood. In the terms of wasted towns rebuilt, of broken humanity salvaged, of dying children rescued of desolate families succored, the Red Cross declares the cause for which we war and proclaims the principles and ideals that must and will in the end prevail. Above the thunder of the guns, the roar of exploding mines,

 .a British positions on this front
 wore , completely re-established."
 With the British Army in France,
 Nav s-Fighting was still in progress
 tbs morning near Vierstraet, on the
 front southwest of Ypres. At one lime the British were forced back
 slightly by machine gun fire. All the rest of the original defenses, how ever, appeared to be again in the hands of the defenders in the Voorme- ,eele-La Clytte sector.
 After their first success in yester- days fighting the Germans were un- able to gain further ground despite re- pested smashes at the allied line. Bit ter struggles took place about Kleine Vierstraet Cabaret, west of Vierstraet and in the ridge wood, but the British clung desperately to their positions.
 The British organized a counter at tack during the night which was so vigorous that the Germans were un- able to withstand it, and gradually fell back until they had abandoned all the ground gained.
 Throughout yesterday the enemy pushed his attack in the direction of the northeastern slopes of Scherpen- berg with great determination. At first he made several successive stages of progress, opening with an infantry attack launched at 9:30 o'clock under cover Of an intense bombardment. It was directed against the right flank of the British northern army and over tapping the British junction with the French.
 An hour later, after throwing in several waves of assault troops. the uefmans had gained a footing of con- siderable width on the British front llne and enemy parties had penetrated 10 hlelne Vierstraet Cabaret. The situation at this time seems to have l been rather difficult. Thence fortb anfll the early afternoon, the Germans maue vigorous efforts to get through | the ridge wood.

EDUCATION ON WAR BASIS

The reasons given by Secretary Of
War Baker for bringing the colleges
and universities of the country into
closer relation with the War Depart
ment are good. No boy below draft
age who has made his plans to enter
college should consider entering the
army until he is called. He should
proceed with his plan to enter school
as though no war were in progress.
AS an emergency expedient the or
ganizing of these boys into units of
the regular army subject to the call
of the president is justifable. Ger
tainly if these boys are going to be
needed at all now, or later. they ought
to be in training at the earliest con-
venient moment.
The plan will help the boys. 1t
will strengthen the army. And what
is of equal importance, it will help
to keep the institutions of higher edu-
cation so that they will be in shape
for the great work of social and in
dustrial reconstruction after the war
is over

TRIPLE ECONOMY.

From July 1917 to April 1918 the
United States exported to the Allies
10000, 900 bushels of wheat and wheat
products. OF this amount, 5O,00O,0OO
was through voluntary cutting
down Of the American people of their
consumption of wheat.
Sir William Goode, the British Food
Controller. announced the amount
sent over at a meeting of the food
controllers of the Allied nations.
Herbert Hoover, who is attending this
meeting has cabled back to the United
States releasing all those who pledged
not to use wheat until after the har-
vest.
There is a triple aspect to our saw
ing of those 5O,OOO,O0O bushels of
wheat. 1t saved wheat for our Army
and for the armies of our Allies. 1t
saved money to the American people
and the greater part of this money
went for the purchase of Government
war securities and bonds.
The third saving is this-through
this sort of sacrifice and economy we
are helping win and shorten the war
and also saving the lives of soldiers
Let US not feel that we are entirely
freed from saving wheat and wheat
products, but save, save, and lend

hundred thousand will be needed
soon.
The books are packed at dispatch
offices in strong cases. so built that
they serve as book cases. They go on
the decks of the transports. in cargo
vessels and in naval vessels. Those
on the transports are left open so
that the soldiers may read them dur

proper officials and are distributed by
experienced librarians representing

 SCHOOL LOBBY?
Much Comment Regarding Pictures Displayed After

In direct contrast with the lecture that was being given by Major Allen at the Bridgeport Hish school audi torium last night, were group of glazed pictures in the entrance ha!i of the school
 One photograph displayed a Ger man War Dog named Tell" who was awarded the Iron Cross by the Germans for vaIor on the German battlefield. Another showed Ger man women and girls in one of the hamlets of the Spreewald knitting for the Red Cross There was an other picture showing the good na- ture of the Germans entitled Ger man Aid to Exhausted Russians" l. showed German Red Cross workers helping out Russian soldiers to re- cover after a severe attack.
 The most significant thing was that the pictures had been hung up while Major Allen was telling his listeners about the German atrocities How did those pictures get there Who hung them up? The Red Cross committee does not know.
 Several other pictures accompany ing those displaying German herois deeds are also hanging in thu Bridgeport High school lobby for in spection of the pupils. Several o1 them are far from elevating for Hig4 school pupils to see.

.CALAM NARROWLY. ESCAPES DEATH
 WHEN POLE FALLS

A. M. Calam of 156 Arch street, es- caped serious injury and possible death in manner nothing short of miraculous at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Broad street about 12:30 o'clock today. An 18-foot light pole, knocked down by a jitney bus, just grazed him. The force of the impact threw Calam to the ground and he sustained lacerations about the face. He was taken to the Emergency hos- pital for treatment.
 The jitney. driven by George Ho- dissey of Stratford, had stopped to discharge passengers. As Hodissey started west on Fairfield avenue, the auto got under way with a jump. Before the driver could control the steering apparatus, the machine ran into the huge pole, breaking it off at the base.
 It fell with resounding crash, die rectly over the spot where Calam was walking. While stunned he regained his feet and except for the lacera+ tions was uninjured.
 Hodfssey was arrested on a technts cal charge of reckless driving.

HOOPER STUMBLES INTO BUCKET OF
 BOILING PITCH

Horribly burned about the face and forearms, as the result of falling &nto a pail of boiling pitch, George simon of Meriden is in 8 serious condition at St. Vincent's hospital. Despite the fact that the hot tar immediately cooled and covered his face beyond recognition, it is expected that he will recover. It is likely, however, that he may lose the sight of one or bokh of his eyes. Both arms were badly burned up to the elbow.
 The accident occurred at the New York, New Haven and Hartford roundhouse at the foot of Henry street. Simon. who is a roofer in the employ of George R. Cummings of Meriden, was engaged in putting tar roof on the roundhouse when he stumbled and fell.
 A hurry call to the Emergency hos pitaI, brought Dr. J. F. Keegan and the ambulance to the scene, and after doing his utmost to relieve the suffer- ing of the man, Dr. Keegan took him to St. Vincent's.
