ORIGINS Of Military titles.

Commodore and commander are
forms borrowed and corrupted from
the Spanish comendador, knight,
commander, or the superior Of mon.
astery. The French have the word,
commandeur, the Italian comandatore.
Commandant, however, meaning the
officer Of fortified towns garrison,
etc, comes from the medieval Latin
commentator, a commander, and COM
mandare, to command.

of socialism, and is one of the few
large German cities that was never
favored with a visit of his Imperial
Highness.
One of the features of all German
cities which strikes all Americans is
the large number of apartment
houses. One seldom sees a single
house. There are so many people in
Germany that it is necessary to
crowd them together. All land must
be saved for cultivation. And the
number Of children-they swarm
around us like so many flies, most
of them half starved, begging for
food and chocolate.
Food conditions in Germany are
certainly bad. Saxony is manufac-
turing center, and therefore raises
little of its food supply, consequent
ly the conditions here are even
worse than in other parts of Ger
many. The shortage of food is es-
pecially noticeable in the women and
children. One cannot help but feel
sorry for the poor little pinch-face

Some vegetables, such as turnips,
carrots, sour kraut, are cheap, and
the common black bread is not high
in price. 1t is upon these articles
that the poor people are living, as
they are not able to pay the prices
for meat and white flour. Some
American flour and bacon is appear-
ing on the market, but as yet not a
sufficient supply has arrived to better
the conditions.
In Saxony, the chief hatred of the
people has conferred on the French.
The people respect the English, es-
pecially the soldiers who have fought
against them. There is no bitter
ness toward the Americans, and the
people think that in America lies
their only hope for a Tightening of
the peace terms. They do not realize
the feeling in America against the
Germans. The majority Of the peo-
pie will tell you that America came

Midsummer blouses are made in such numbers of either georgette or voile, that there is not much else to consider in blouses.
