ONE OF WARS GREAT DEEDS
Crossing of St Quentin Canal by Brit ish Troops Conceded to Be
 Remarkable Exploit

Probably one of the most remark able exploits of the war was the cross ing of the St. Quentin canal by brigade of South Stafford and North Stafford (British) troops in the course of the advance on Cambrai. The canal Is a landmark in the country for miles around because of its dimen- siOns, and just where the crossing was effected the waterway runs for some distance between very steep and high banks covered in some parts by dense low brushwood. That the crossing was made by such a large number Of men and so expeditiously Is a remark able tribute to the determination of the men and to the forethought of their commanders. It Is related that their commanding officer had sent down to a channel port and had had sent up to the line for the occasion all the life belts of one of the well-known cross channel steamers. It was this measure of pTecaution which was the means of enabling many men to cross before foot-bridges could be constructed and which was the main contributing fac tor in the success of the operation.

SEE GODS HAND lN RESCUE
Natives of Rimatara Ascribe Their Es- cape From Death to Miraculous
 Interpretation.
"Saved by the hand of God" 1

Saved by the hand of God" Is the way the nine natives composing the crew of the SO-ton schooner Oromana characterize their escape from death, after having drifted helplessly 50 days on one of the IoneIiest bits of ocean in the seven seas.
 When the wreck of the Orcmana was lowed into Papeete harbor, Tahiti. one of the most remarkable voyages known in these waters was completed. The vessel, q twO-masted schooner, owned by natives of Rimatara, an island about 300 miles southwest of Tahiti, left her home port, without cargo, bound for the island of Rurutu, in the same group. where she was to undergo repairs and take cargo of copra for Tahiti.
 Two days out, she was struck by 8 storm, which carried away both her masts and later her rudder, leaving her a helpless derelict.
 With never a glimpse of land or sal to give a ray of hope. the Oromana drifted for 50 days. After 15 days the supply of food was gone. The natives managed to catch a shark with hook and line. This lasted them five days. The rest of the time they had no food. An occasional shower prevented death from thirst.
 Then the miracle" happened. The mountains of Tahiti rose slowly over the horizon. The shifting sea current brought them nearer and nearer until they were finally sighted from snore and a powerboat sent to tow them In. They were too weak to rise to their feet, but. after a few days ashore all appeared to be rapidly recovering from their experience.
 The natives say the hand of God guided their craft, for the prevailing winds In these attitudes are from the northwest, a direction which would never have brought them to Tahiti.

TIIe Most Popular of All Lines Open to Disabled Soldiers in Restraining.

The various branches of conner ctal education seem to make a pow erful appeal to the disabled soldier, for in selecting the course for free re training furnished by the United States government the greatest mum Der of men are taking instruction in these lines. The general commercial course has the largest number of all, there being 165 men out of the first 1& a-wardel training; accounting has been chosen by 26; general clerical work. ?; salesmanship, 13; secretary work, 10; store management, l.

Don't Pay It is heading given
to an article written by the gifted
Editor of the Pathfinder on the
high cost of living. The following
extracts is indeed timely:
Relief from the high cost Of liv
inc rests with individuals the rem
edy is in our hands. High prices
are largely due to the willingness
of the publice TO pay any price that
is asked. High prices have became
almost a joke, and the people
even brag about how mulch they
pay for things Thus themselves
keep bidding them up. Much of
the trouble is also due TO the fact
that people are willing to pay alb
out Is per cent for valne and rs
per cent for style. Shoe manfact-
urerers are again changing the
styles on us. We say in all serious
ness; Some of them ought to be
hung. An example should be made
of them. In mems clothen coats
are a little longer; waist are a lit
tie longer; waists are alittle niger
shoulders natural; higher and wild.
