populations and the collapse of their
armies, the railroad administration sped
the movement of empty cars from east
to west, expedited their loading with
grain, and hurried them back to the
Atlantic seaboard for shipment of their
contents to Europe.
This drastic method, which was adopt.
ed regardless of cost, was so success
ful, Mr.. McAdoo said, that within thirty
days the emergency had been met and
the crisis that threatened the defeat of
the allies was averted. This happened,
he said, in February and March, 1918,
in the midst of an exceptionally severe
winter.
The interalled wheat committee re-.
ported that there was a deficit of 900,
900 tons of bread cereals. The rations
of the Italian army had already been re
duced twice and the rations of the
French army once. Food was scarce
among the civilian populations and
there was fear that the Russian debacle
would be repeated in one or both of
these countries. But American enter
prise was equal to the demand and the
danger was soon removed.

A LITTLE LAY SERMON

TN AN EDITORIAL yesterday on Sabbath OBJ
servance the Sherman (TeXas) Courier eX-
presses the desire that the world return to 1.-The
days when the teachings Of the Bible and the
words of the gentle Saviour were of more in
terest and influence than they are today The
Courier calls them "the good and simple days
of the long ago, even if bit Purl-
tanc."
Listen, Sherman Courier man and all other
men who hold the notion that these present
days are not so desirable and so good as the
good and simple days of the long ago." when
the laws Of Connecticut fined a man for kiss
ing his wife-his own wife, mind you-on Sun
day, and when pious churchmen in authority
in New England burned helpless women at the
stake as alleged sorcerers or witches. Bah!
Give ear and hearken, O ye who imagine
vain things! In the good and simple days up
to thirty years ago-and even later-the m
famous doctrine of eternal punishment in burn
ing birthstone was preached from thousands OF
pulpits, and millions of men and wonderland
of little children, don't forget! sat cowed and
shiverng before the goddess and groundless
fear that they were to be sent to horror-place
called hell, there to burn forever and forever
without burning up, unless they were willing
penser of justice and of mercy, God the In
finite, had created billions of human souls des-
tined to suffer eternal torment.
The writer of these words believes now,
and has believed for many years, that the
world is better world in the present age than
it has been in any past age that every day the
world goes forward and climbs upward; that
from year to year the human race is evolving
from the lower to the higher; that the law of
the universe, the law of God, precludes any
backward or downward step; and that "the
teachings of the Bible and the words of the
gentle Saviour to quote again from the Sher-
man Courier, are of more interest and influ-
ence today than ever they were on any day
since the Man of Galilee wrought and taught.
And furthermore, the interpretations of the
teachings of the Bible are more nearly in ac-
cord with the words and the wisdom of the
Saviour than ever they have been in the past
which, by the way, is why they are of more in
terest and influence today.
Our notion is that if person finds it i'm
possible to believe that the world is growing
better instead of worse, he or she may be in
need of some deeper grounding in the real re
ligion eXempified by Jesus of Nazareth.

WOMEN WORKERS

In almost every line of war activi-

done well and have taken front rank
for doing work that released thousands
of men for service overseas. Some

filled places once occupied by men.

VERMONT FARMER
 HAS OWN SUGAR
CKansas City Star)

Vermont might be looked to. per haps. for a comfortable addition 10 the American sugar supply this spring. bun any sweet hope which the rest of the country might have in tbat direction is apparently dashed by the statement of the Springfield Union that the Vermont farmers have decided 10 keep their
 ronle sugar Co themselves this year, in view of the shortage of cane and beet sugar. Other people may not know it.
 but the Nermonter knows that maple sugar is not merely confectionery. It S good for swcetcning purposes of ali sorts. Tn coffee it IS unrivaled, impart- ing 10 that noble beverage, in addition to the redolence of the heavenly berry cF AralSa, a flavor of waving green branches. of a sky as blue as that of Sorrento and of the dulcet bell that echoes in the hermit thrush's throat:

"ROMANAL" MAY BE
 NEW WORLD TONGUE
New York World)

Do you know Romanal?' is the question YOU are now asked in Paris.
 No. Romanal is not the name of one of the kaisers spies. or even one or tho too well known French defeatlsts. It is simply the name of a new Ian guaCe. 1t is urged as successor to Esperanto as a simple and easy to learn language. Yet. it is said here, 4 will 20 down to pOsterity merely as having existed and been mentioned, much the same Esperanto.
 Romanal owes its coming Co light 10 A. Michaud. doctor and lawyer of Bou- logne sur Mer. With it you are told you will be able tO converse with sol- dier of any nationality now t~ be seen in Paris. whether he is American. Ca madam. Serbian, Montenegrin. Italian c~ Russian. pr. Michaud put out q book on his new discovery and dedi- cated 1t 10 all the armies of the entente.
 In Romanal grammar there are three genders-m feminine and neu- ter. All words end in e. but if you want to show that word may have tv- genders you replace the ''e' by en-" To indicate masculine gender you add an "o' to your final "e.' To show the word is feminine gender an "a is necessary. Adjectives do not change. whatever noun they qualify; all end in "i.' For instance. boni (good). sani fsanc). grandi (biS). rapidi (rapid)
 As regards the verbs. matters are very much simplified by suppressing all past lenses and deponents. There is only one conjugation. copied from the Latin present conjugation.
 The only real difficulty in learning Romanal is that you must know Latin very well to master it.

is no culinary function which cane sugar is wont to discharge that IS not still more Worthily fulfilled by the maple product. That. the farmers of Vermont have always known. Why then. do they ordinarilv export all their maple sugar and constrain their wives to do their cooking with the inferior ar ticle of Cuba or far. Hawaii?
 For the simple and entirely adequate reason that they can sell the fruit of their own trees for from E to 40 cents a pound, according to the way it IS put up. and can, or could, buy cane sugar for from to cents. To cook with maple sugar under those circumstances would be like wearing silk in the hay field.
 All this in the past But if Vermont can get no cane sugar, the ~ase may be different The VermCnJer has for all the orations of his states existence been accustomed to sugar in abund- ance For three or four generations he produced his domestic suppl yfrom the trees in his sugar orchard."' There was no market for it. as a cOnfection, in the old days. But there was an abundant supply of it in his woods; the round topped hill above the house was his private Hymettus. It cost him noth- ing but q Spurt of agreeable labor De- fore his regular sprino work began.
 On the floor of his pantry, beneath the shelves on which the milk pans were ranged, stood three or four sturdy tubs. filled with a rich, brown. damp ish substance which showed a disposi- ton to shade off into a golden syrup at the bottom. This substance was maple sugar. and there never was any other sugar so good. In brown jars on the shelves, there was ~'eo a substance which the Vermonter called maple m'lashes."
