NO BASKET CASES. I"

One terribly distressing rumor, statement,
belief has been refuted flatly and positively
denied by Major General Ireland, surgeon gen
eral of the army No American soldier IN this
war has lost both arms and legs. There mas
not been single so-called basket case" OF
man who has lost all four limbs. HorrlfylnS
tales of such sufferings have gained some cur
rencv. Certain people, pacifists possibly, may
have manufactured them as an argument
against war. Others whom gruesome horrors
fa seinatea-for there are such persons repeat
ed them BY hearsay- But they were all hes,
whole-eloth fabrications. Cruel as this war
-as. il has given to this country no such gro
tsuaaelv terrible cases of suffering and helpless
ness az limbless men.
According to the report of the surgeon gen
eral. the total number of major amputatlon
cases. in our forces up to date is three thou
sand and thirty-four. OF these six hundred
were arm amputations and one thousand, seven
hundred and eight were amputatlons OF the leg.

SURPRISES OF WAR FINANCE.

Philadelphia Ledger: An unnamed
prominent American financial expert
declares that financial distress in
Europe has been considerably e1ag-
gerated and that in England. France
and Belgium improved conditions are
foreshadowed. If this is all true, it
is in line with the series of surprises
in finance that have been occurring
since 1914.
1t was prophesied when the war
broke out that armed strife on such
q titanic scale could not possibly en-
dure for more than six months. But
all calculations were astoundingly up
set by what actually took place.
The day Of Napoleon's dizziest tri-
umphs still remain the blacklist in the
history of the Bank of England, while
even during the Marine crises France
was fortunately exempt from any such
period of financial degradation as that
Of the 'assignats' or her eighteenth
century revolution
The truth of the matter seems to be
that for all the prodigious destruction
Of four years and half the wealth
and resources of civilization were SUI
ficiently vast to withstand complete
collapse. In this condition it is in
teresting to note that income taxes
in France throughout the war were
comparatively mild.
It looks as though the economists
and financial experts would have tc
revise many of their promises when
they survey the history of the great
est Of all world upheavals

LIFE AND BELIEF.

Almost all so-called religious arguments, SAID
a clergyman the other day, are not ON questions
cf religion but on questions of theology he
ligion is the simplest thing in the world, Where-
as theology is one of the most involved.
How manifestly true this is! Who remem-
hers TO have heard or to have been party to
the heated discussion of any statement winch
the gospels put into the mouth OF the Founder
of the christian faith? They are generally ac-
oepted as interchangeable fundamentals OF re-
Igion. 1t is about the theories erected on them
that men and theologians and sects divide a
wholly unlettered man or woman may lead a
sanity life nor does it much matter what Dog
mas or theological tenets they accept. IL nap
Lilv requires no erudition to be christian,
which is a matter of life rather than OF behef
and it thus seems quite conceivable that
christendom will come in time to wonder how 1t
ever laid such undue emphasis on theological
concepts and creeds.

TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
SPRING.

SPRING.
Sweet are the maiden promises of spring,
Her voice comes wandering like some muteo tome
From far off symphonies, and everything
She wears is but yelling lightly thrown
Around the form of beauty She Will seem
Demurely chaste and reticent awhile,
But in her eyes is youths eternal dream
And all the light of passion in her smile.
When the bold sun, her lover, argues down
Her shy reserves, then will her lips confess
Her timorous, deep desire, and she Will crown
Her fealty with wondrous frultfulness
And when her time is done, the earth will praise
Her blithe and rosy breed OF summer days
