BRITAIN'S WAR
LOANS ARE GIVEN

London. Nov. Ain discussing
the financial situation in the house
OF commons. Andrew Bonar Law
chancellor OF the cXchequer said that
Great Britain had loaned TO her al
lies in the war more than ,465 600
coo pounds sterling and to the do
minions 2lS000,000 pounds sterling.
Great Britains' debts abroad are not
expected to exceed l,000.000,000
pounds sterling. The country could
easily bear this, the chancellor ad-
ded, if labor and capital worked
harmoniously together.
The chancellor praised the part
taken in the war by the dominions
and India.
In answer to question by Don
aid MacMaster, the chancellor said
that the dominionS were not repre-
sented at the armistice conference
because, obviously, as a whole, the
domlnions could not possibly be
there. The government promised
definitely that the dominions would
share fully in the peace negotiations.
Col. Claude Lowther asked why
Premier Hughes of Australia had
not been invited to the armistice dis
cussion. The chancellor said he did
not think there was any real con-
nection between the peace confer
ence and the armistice terms.
He said it was believed that with
the exception of one clause, where
President Wilson was not abso-
iutely distinct, everything which the
allies ever asked for could be claimed
under the fourteen points enunciiat-
ed by the president.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS
IN WELFARE WORK

Theer is an example OF unsolicited
generous giving for war relief and
camp welfare work found in the
activities Of the Christian Science
people. This church has never gone
outside OF its own confines for help,
yet it has distributed several mil
lion dollars in the war ridden coun-
try where it has representatives
working in conjunction with local
committees. In addition to work
among civilians these people are
doing camp welfare work, the extent
OF which may be learned from the
following statement published in the
Camp Welfare Bulletin at Lawton:
"There are ninety-three Welfare
Workers in the United States, one
in Canada, ten in England, and
twenty in France. There are now
thrty-hve Welfare buildings and
rooms in this country, six in Eng
land and six in France. Fifty auto
mobiles and two launches which are
used by the workers, thus saving
time and enabling them to be OF
service to a greater number.

PERFECT WOMANHOOD.

Perfect womanhood depends on
perfect health. Beauty and good
disposition both vanish before pain
and suffering. A great menace to a
womans happiness in life is the suf-
fering that comes from functional
arrangement which soon develops
headaches, nervousness and the
blues" For such suffering, women
find help in that famous old root
and herb remedy, Lydia F. Pink

for three generations has been re-

We were specializing the other dav
upon the probable effect of the great
war upon literature. wondering
whether it. would give rise to a new
school, or would find it's REQUIRE
ments of expression adequately pro-
vlded for in existing forms and styles.
TO which questionings re is, at least.
a partial answer. The war can scarce
~ require anything more than that
les most poignant episodes, it's most
commanding features, whether pa
thetlc or heroic, shall be convincinglv
set forth. The only question is
whether IN their transcendent great
ness they can thus be treated in the
forms of literature to which we are
accustomed. In this volume an af-
tirmative answer is surely given. No
body will dispute the greatness Of the
themes of these tales; and we should
doubt If even the most exacting critic
could find ground for complaining that
the writer's work has fallen short of
their opportunities Whatever au
thors in other lands may do, French
short story writer's need to do no more
than to continue in the way marked
out for them by Gautier. Daudet and
Maupassant, to answer the require
ments Of the great war.
That is what the accomplished au-
thors of these tales have done, and
done most worthily. To adapt once
more one ,of the most hackneyed of
observations, there is scarcely a phase
of the war which they do not touch.
and they touch nothing which they do
not adorn. Their tales are at once
almost literally throbbing with vital
humanity and moulded and polished
with supreme literary art. To this it
remains to be added only that they.
are as happy in their translator az
their translator is in the subject mat
ter of his work. Mr.. Mcpherson has
in a notable degree reproduced not
merely the general spirit of French
literature, but also the distinctive
and peculiar spirits of the various
writer's and their various themes. 1t
is volume to be treasured-as the
multitudes who read it's contents when
published serially in The Tribune will
gladly testify--partly as master
piece Of translation. partly rs a gal
lery of exquisite etchings of the great
war. and partly AZ an intimate and su-
premely sympathetic revelation of that
soul Of France which now worthily
commands the admiration. affection
and reverence Of the world.
