APPRECIATION FROM THE ARMY.

That the work which the Young
Wouien's Christian Association is do
ing in France is appreciated by its
Deneficiaries and by the French gov
ernnient has been amply evidenced by
the enthusiastic praise accorded 1t
again and again. But the message that
came to the Blue Triangle Headquar-
lers written on the inside of an old en-
velope was more significant than the
comments of foreigners because 1t was
the spontaneous expression of officers
of the United States Army, well quail
fled to Judge of efficiency and Us free
to criticize as to commend. The let
ter is from Major f. L. Kelly, S. o. r.
c., and was approved by Brig. Gen. w.

MORE HOUSES NEEDED

More houses are needed in Ord
way. When a family moves to town
they are not able to find place to
live and in time they move on. Twen-
ty more five-room cottages would be
dlled by the time they could be COM
pleted. But failure to get houses
causes prospective residents to pass
up the town.

"The Society of Nations"

TN his work entitled The Society Of Nd
Il tioas, DIR. T. J. Lawrence has ineor-
porated the subject matter of t. course of
six lectures delivered by him at the Uni
versity Of Bristol, England, in 1917, where
he filed the position of reader of inter-
national law. DR.. Lawrences purpose
in giving these lectures, and simplifying
them in the revised text, was to supply
some outline Of 1.-The relations subsisting
between Independent states and the rules
of conduct they should observe in their
mutual intercourse" knowledge which,
he says, was until lately deemed by the
ordinary intelligent citizen matters far
beyond his ken" But change has come
over this viewpoint "under stress of the
miseries caused by the present war;" The
average citizen is concerning himself with
such things; and so the lectlrer-author
has set down what may be briefly de-
scribed as an outline history of interha-
tional law.
He describes in turn the origin Of in
ternational society; the code which at
tempts to regulate interstate relations (de-
rived originally from Roman and canon
law, customs and Christian morality the
great writers on these subjects; and the
growth of international society, noting
under this head the development of mari
time international law by courts, and of
law-making treaties. He then gives
summary of International Society As II
Stood In July, 1914; the Pdrtial Qcer-
throSu Of International Ldw Through Ger
man "frightfulness" and, as conse-
quence Of Germany's actions, The Condi-
lions Of Reconstruction" which must be
faced by the rest of the civilized world.
The final chapter is devoted to The Re
building OF International Society. Here
DIR. Lawrence discusses the League of Ma
tons, which he calls ''the best available
means for maintaining peaceful relations
and diminishing the frequency and hor-
rors Of war" He says that the two funda-
mental objections made to this are that
such league will be fatal to state SOW
ereignty and that it will be fol Ind imprac-
ticable. His Interpretation OF the whole
proS4em is that it is Eat bottom spiritual
The two organizations which ,can do the
most to solve it arc the ChuA ch and the
labor movement" This might be con-
sidered a curious conclusion for British
~. P" to arrive at did not ore also learn
that the author was also "rector of Upton
Lovcl, Wits"
The chief point of importance about
this volume is that it is an excellent his
tory of international law and its related
subjects for the general reader who wishes
TO inform himself as to the historic back
grounds Of League of Nations.

"Once long ago, when the Blackfeet
