 There Is no disposition on the part of the allies to begrudge the expendi- ture. It Is the highest price that has ever been paid in history for anything but the thing purchased is security for the application of these same forces to peaceful aims in the future. It Is literally true that the men and money spent In this war could have trans formed the earth. They could have. established universal sanitation, uni versal education, eliminated barbar- ism and savagery, reclaimed all the waste lands, established communica- lions by rail and steam with every corner of the globe, and brought the millennium nearer by a long stride. At least, the human race has ceased to be awed by the magnitude. of any project. In the hell of war, men have learned that no task is too great for them. and that is thought worth car rying into times of peace.

 The plaua was perceptibly lower; it almost seemed as if its suspicious must have been aroused. It swept off toward home, pursued by the bursting shrapnel that 1t dodged as if by g series of miracles. But suddenly 1t seemed to quiver, its tail went up, and 1t began to dive steeply. The sentry watched 1t eagerly through his glasses. Was 1t ruse to escape the shell. or was 1t hit? Slowly the plane began to turn over as 1t fell, and, then, all at once, all control seemed to leave 1t, and 1t dropped steadily, turning over and over, the sun flashing from It's pol ished fusilage as 1t did 50. Lower and lower 1t fell. until only few hundred feet from the ground, when 1t turned on its side and crashed swiftly to earth, 6 mile or so from the battery.
 The sentry blew his whistle once moro, and the battery returned to its work cheering and whistIing. Every one had seen the machine come to earth and was proportionately elated. But. as always, a chivalrous feeling for their fallen enemy was mingled with the mems Joy.
 'P1ueky sportsman, that" said one, and the rest echoed his sentiments.
