less by-product of war is pitied from
the depths of his comrades hearts.
Artillerymen pray that when they
are hit they will not be mutilated for
life; so do infantrymen. For they
sicken at the thought of passing the
remainder of their days burden to
themselves and others. objects of pity
and charity. Death is the least toll
Of war.
But now comes the miracle, just an
other which has been born of the most
colossal war: The reclamation Of the
mutilated man, the refitting of him
to return TO civil life the worker of
his own destiny, without aid Of charity
or pity or pension. The armless will
return to their trades and professions

Of the past Is certain to obtrude itself
upon the least imaginative and his

atmosphere and 1t may be the memory
of old prints showing the stubby fort
and the cluster of wooden houses at
the waters edge.
Again in fancy Peter Stuyvesant

Down in South Brooklyn there is
a long dock between the Atlantic and
Erie Basins. 1t is worth while some
day going down to the end Of that
dock and turning the eyes toward
Manhattan. Governors Island, with
it's thick growth of trees. seems to
blend and merge with the lower part
of the city, hiding all but few OF
the slyscrapers; and from there, as
from no other point, the mountains
of steel and masonry balance exactly
the Woolworth Building as the apex
fianked by the Whitehall Building on
the left and the Municipal Building
on the right. The effect is that Of an
enchanted park in which it has pleased
some Djinn to conjur UP symmetrical
beauty.
There is no better way of making
the acquaintance of the wharves and
slips and sea tides tossing free than by

the Chicago River" is the invariable
witticism OF the megaphone man as
the boat passes into the shadow of the
first bridge spanning the Harlem, an
intirm pleasantly always greeted by
giggles OF half defiant, half sheepish
confession. The resemblance being
really there, the comparison is compli-
mentary to neither stream.
With equal appositeness allusion to
the chateau region of Franco might be
made when passing the great edifice

Hudson in saying that where the two
streams wash the shores OF Manhattan

the mint sauce green Of well kept ISL
