Besides the many millions Of tons Of shipping

is also the pressing necessity for multiplying

In less than q years time the accomplish

been on an unprecedented scale. Where In 1917
there were only 61 shipyard plants in the United
States, there are now 15S, and more are be-
ing constantly established. The United States
shipping board has given out contracts for S,1S3
600 deadweight tons of ships, and has already
put In service S31,111 deadweight tons of new

wise water traffic. From the small number of
44,926 men employed in American shpyards on
April L. 1917, the force of shipbuilders in our
yards has now increased to 100000.
With this progress American farmers can look
forward to the certainty Of great merchant ma.
rine, built in American shpyards and carrying
their products the world over now and after

Germans have completed an immense
bargain with prot German Russians in

In the summer Of 1915, when Ger,

England With the Allies.
While they were in the midst Of CORY
composition, their eyes in a fine frenzy
rolling, England entered the war on
the side of the allies. This was dis

man plan horribly. England was to
stand aside until Russia and France
were annihilated, and then be wiped
out in her turn. Anyone who has ever
been in Germany knows the fury Of a

Little Ernst, cropping around in the
madhouse, seems to have found words
that pretty we'll express his meaning.
In fact, he seems to have put across in
fairly effective shape the idea that the
Germans don't care much for the Eng
lish, whichever way you look at it.
But If he hated before, what must
have been his fury at the reception his

thus one enthusiastic German bard
aurrah! Hip. hurrah! Away with all
labor!
1t is war! Bloody war! Get your rife
, and saber
This hip-hurrah greeting for bloody
war was characteristic of most of the
early war poetry. The poets, unfortu.
nately, were not prophets. The blood
which they viewed in prospect was to
flow mostly from the bodies of the con-
temptible foe. Germany, marching
with God, was invincible. A short mlr
and merry one, and at the end the
great German hosts conquerors of the
world! If they could have foreseen
then the long and weary road ahead.
the hip-hurrah note might have been
mingled even more freely with the
venom and hate the baked and beaten
monster feels for those who stand in
his way.
Where God Stands.

German poetry for note Of abhor-

or not this Is Gods way for settling
disputes. There is no question as to

joyously the submarine, chuckles with
delight that his chosen people have in
their hands the weapons whereby to
impose their will-which is his will
on the world. More of this peculiar
German god anon. Through this well
ter of harsh German poetry runs only
a roar of delight in German strength, a
great satisfied sigh that now at last
the world is to feel that strength.

afterthought, there Is bit of camou.
flage as to who started the war. Be-
fore going on to picture the downfall
of the enemy one bard pauses to re-
mark:
War! War! Awake! The French have
crossed the Rhine,
And Cossacks swarm upon our eastern
line
These obvious lies are not dwelt on,
however. Probably not even the poet
expected anybody to believe them.
They were just thrown in as a sop to
the diplomats at the Wilhelmstrasse.
Public opinion, which had been taken
charge Of by the authorities, was "ver-
boten" to forget these things. And 1t
was added, in faint voice here and
there: 1--WE did not wish this war;"
One is reminded, by way of aside, Of
the excellent Australian cartoon which
pictured the kaiser sitting, head in
hands, in the company Of the crown
prince. II did not want this war;"
"No," says the crown prince in lucid
moment, ut was quite different war
you wanted, wasn't ii, papa?"
But coming back to the poets, it may
be said that while at rare intervals
they remembered to make a note Of
the fact thatthe war was a complete
and unpleasant surprise to Germany,
their whole attitude was that now that
1t had come, they were delighted. They
dreamed of blood, they sang of it. At
last the weapons Germany had been
fondling so long were to find mark.
