ment for our soldiers when they re-
turn from the battle fronts. Never
theless it is fact that practically
every department and bureau of the
Government | has been developing
ways and means toward reconstruc-
ton, and they will all be put for
ward. Secretary Lane, in letter TO
the President, recalls that following
the Civil War the soldiers went upon
the homestead land which was
thrown open to entry. Congress is
asked to get busy upon plan that
has been outlined by him to prepare
government lands, to supply drainage
and other important and extensive
improvements that will be necessary
before land in great quantities can
be made available. At the close of
the Civil War this was an agricul-
tural rather than a manufacturing
nation, and it is impossible to fore
cast the percentage of soldiers who
will go upon farm land. 1t will be
necessary to provide employment for
five million men and to transfer mil
lions of war workers into employ
ment in civil life. i.'
There is in process of completion
war orders amounting to billions of
dollars, and when declaration of
peace comes most of these will nee
essarily be cancelled Immediately.
Congress is beginning to pay atten-
ton to these problems which will en-
tail great losses to manufacturers
running into amounts aggregating
billions of dollars, and the adjust
ment of which will create situation
of uncertainty that will exist for
years to come. Intimately connect
ed with the question of labor is the
one relating to social welfare" de-
clared one of the Senators, who ad
ded that the European countries have
taken steps, nationally, relating to
welfare questions; for example, the
provision for old age pensions, life
insurance and other similar matters.

There are over twenty-five thous-

hattie line
The regimental chaplains are there,
Of course, and as France is Catholic
country there are two priests to
every Protestant chaplain and Jewish
Rabbi But thousands of the priests
serve in the ranks. .ra
There is strategic advantage in
this. When it is necessary to send
q soldier ON dangerous mission un-
married men are at premium, and
the priest offers himself without feel
ing any of the conjunction that
might daunt the family man. There

Often a brother priest, starts on the
same mission an hour or two later,
to guarantee its execution. While not
foregone conclusion, an accident to
the fi1st volunteer is more than a
probability. And by virtue of their
profession it is taken that both these
gamblers have an outlook in life
and eternity which invests them
with certain aloofness. They have
cooler heads and steadier nerves than
any CANISTER at the roulette board
could show. To them death is tri-
vial Incident; it neither brings nor
ends the progress of experience" 1t
merely marks a change. -
Incidents of this kind become so
common during defense of Verdun
that they went unnoticed. Even we,
had wSbeen there. would hardly have
ramarked it in days 50 crowded with
thrills But as we take the question
naire and read the section that deals
with the, study and profession Of di-
vfnityS we realize more fully the de-
gree to which French man-power has
been strained. We could hardly flnd
such a section in a French document
of any kind.
But the French write no epics on
this feature of the war. When a reg
fment lis changing ground it is COM
mon tossee a priest invite a Rabbi to
precede him. after you, sir" he says
"the Old Testament before the New"
When Protestants, Catholics and
Rabbiss stand hourly in the face of
death and select such time to kid
each other about questions of doc
trine that separate them, we who
have not yet faced the music would
do well TO take stock of ourselves.

Enemy Quickly Cisappeared.

An official of railway which passes
through Philadelphia, am told, was In
the habit of expressing his war senti-
ments without restraint to his private
secretary, Girard writes in the Phila-
delphia Ledger. These sentiments were
derogatory to the allies and favorable
to Germany. One day at the end of q
particularly vehement TRADE the sec
rotary said: 81 trust, sir, that what
you have said does not represent your
real feelings on the subject" II mean
every word of It," said his employer. 1t
was just after fire had taken place
In nearby city and the responsibility
had been laid at the doors of German
hirelings whose enterprise the railway
man extOlled. "Then shall be obliged
to arrest you" said the secretary,
throwing open his coat and showing
the badge Of secret service agent.
The lndiscreet official Is now supposed
to be in a place where what he may
have to say in praise of kultur will
reach severely limited audience.

vide said sinews. History simply sets

The photograph shows Florence Mans

to snip off her lovely hair to provide
material for rope to be used In the
making Of submarine tiller. Her
patriotic impulse was original. spring
ing from the need Of rope in the navy
as outlined to her by friends In the
United States Marine corps. She has
very long tresses. and she can amply
spare some. She believes every girl
in the country ought to sacrifice u
lock of hair. She believes there Is an
other use for hair more important than
wearing it herself-that Is for one Of
our fighting men to wear 1t, In a wrist
band or ring. Then, when our boys
get real lonesome lover there" all they
have to do is to take one long, linger-
ing look at that strand of hair, and, as
they gaze, the winsome face Of the girl
back home will rise before them, and
all will be right again. Now, how
about 1t girls? Who will volunteer

Washington. - Much interest has
been shown by the public in the United
States shipping boards program OF
building many fast vessels for carry
Ing supplies to France during the war
and TO transport freights, mail and
passengers as the vanguard Of the
great merchant marine that Is to be
maintained when peace returns.
National pride, say shipping experts
here, has always found strong express
sion over the, ability Of the United
States to produce fast ships. 1t is
therefore nothing new for Americans
to watch the products of their ship
yards with swelling breasts.
Half century and more ago the
whole country took pride in the rec
ords Of American clipper sailing ships,
which led the merchant fleets Of the
world.
American shipyards then produced
vessels which made long voyages at an
average speed equal to that Of the
steamships Of their time. The sailing
records they established were never
equaled by the ships Of other nations.
These vessels were the direct prod
uct of daring experiments by Yankee
builders, who were never content to
rest on their laurels, which were many.
Each year they excelled their previ-
Gus efforts, turning out flyers that
challenged the attention of the mari
time world.

vessels In the heyday Of the clipper
ships was the Flying Cloud of Boston,

In single day. which exceeded by 4.
miles the best days run made by q
steamship up to that time.
In 20 consecutive days, on this vow
age, the Flying Cloud sailed 1912
miles, an average Of POT miles a day, or
9h miles an hour. For four days, when
she made her best speed. she averaged
314 miles day, or 12h knots an hour.
The ships exploit was celebrated in
San Francisco with rejoicing, and the
news of It gave pleasure to every
American who heard Of 1t.
The next year the ship Sovereign Of
the Seas-from the yard Of the same
builder, Donald Mckay Of East Bos-
ton-in the course Of q voyage from
Honolulu to New York excelled some
Of the daily runs Of the Flying Cloud
In four days In the South Pacific she
logged 1.478 miles, an average of 1873
miles day. or 1914 miles an hour. In
IL days, between March 10 and q, she
logged 1852 miles, daily average of
$50 miles, and an hourly average Of
13A miles. At times she sailed at
speed of 10 miles an hour, which few
freight-carrying steamers today can at
tain. Her best days run was 424
miles, and showed an average speed Of
IL % miles an hour for "a hours.
The Sovereign of the Seas also had
the distinction Of having beaten
steamer on five continuous days Of
sailing. while on the passage from
New York to Liverpool in 1853, and
also of making the unique run of
seven days from land to land, having
sighted Cape Race, Newfoundland. at
6 a. m. June "a and Cape Clear, Ire
land. at 6 a. m. June 80
Her best days run was 344 miles on
June %. In five days, June $3.50, the
ship outsailed the Cunard liner Can
ada, which was making the eastward
passage from Boston to Liverpool,
total Of 325 miles. The best days run
of the Canada was 3O6 miles.
Greatest Days Run.
The greatest days run ever made by
a vessel under sail was accomplished !
by another ship Of Donald McKay's
build, the Lightning. on her maiden
from Boston to Liverpool, in
1854.
On the first day Of March, when ap- |
and rounding the north of |
In strong gale from the |
south, the ship logged 1871 miles an
hour. Her lee rail was under water
and her jib and fore-topsail. new.
strong sails, were blown In shreds
from their bolt ropes. Such an exhi-
oition Of sail-carrying rarely has been
accorded as that on the Lightning that
lay; and 1t was done prayerfully. for
Ter master, Captain Forbes, was a
strong churchman.
At the end Of the "a hours the ships
OF showed that she had made days
un with parallel, Of 436 sea miles. or
more than 500 land miles.
This entitled the Lightning to the
,roud distinction Of being the fastest
