Not an Auxiliary.

Upon our entrance into the war e.
great women's organization-the one
which has been working for the vote
for the women Of the United States
for more than half a century-organ-
lied and equipped hospital unit of
women, doctors as well as nurses, and
offered 1t to the United States, says
Pittsburgh Dispatch. There is some
thing in government custom or in ar
my red tape, if not actually in law,
which made 1t impossible for the great
est democracy on earth to accept the
services Of this unit because it was
composed Of women. So Uncle Sam
was forced to decline the offer. He
did it politely, probably with regret
that the organization was not a ladies'
auxiliary which could be attached to
something regular and masculine and
thus made available. The National
Woman Suffrage association thereupon
offered its hospital unit to France,
which accepted it with alacrity and
gratitude and assigned it to service.
And yet. the other day, according to
the newspapers, woman doctor was
made major in the American army,
and SO there's ground for hope.

Dream Of Perpetual Peace.

partly modified Italy. to an America
that was still unperturbed and unpre-

Case and Comment.
"In one of the central corridors I
noticed an ancient mural inscription.
which I had doubtless seen before
without approaching It's Significance
an inscription Of the time Of Augustus:
TO perpetual peace
thus, even in warlike Rome, and
more than 10 centuries ago, after
series of wars that had shaken the
then civilized world from the Alps to
the African deserts and from the PHI
lars of Hercules to the Nile, as after
every great war that has since devas-
tated Europe, mems minds were turn
Ing with inextinguishable hope to the
vision Of warless future"

Spying on Spies.

Spy spies on spy in Germany. The
German Office holder, ex-Ambassador
Gerard writes in the London Times,
fears the spies Of his rivals. 81 often

opening bags, steaming letters-all the
old tricks. The easiest way to battle
them, Mr.. Gerard says, is to write
nothing that cannot be published to
the world. "For a long time after the
beginning of the war was too busy
to write the weekly report of official
gossip usually sent home by diplomat
lists. I suppose the Germans searched
our courier bags for such report
vainly. Anyway, its absence finally
got on the nerves of Zimmerman so
much that one day he blurted out,

Old warships Put to Good Use.

In the days before the war, one Of
the features of Ryde, Isle of Wight,
was the fleet of obsolete warships
which rode mournfully at anchor to
the west of the pier. There was a
curious air of desolatlon about them
with their gunboat gray showing rust
everywhere, their truncated masts,
cleared decks, and blackened brasses.
AS the ferry steamed out of Ports
mouth, some four miles away across
the Solent, they had warlike appear
ance enough, but the nearer one came
to them the more one saw that their
fighting days We're over.
But were they? May there not have
been amongst them some Of the old
cruisers which Joined in the now IA
nous run for Zeebrugge the other
night? Perhaps they are Ryde boats
which now lie gloriously at the bottom
Of the sea. blocking the way to the
nests of Bruges.''

German "KuItur.n

G. Journelle, a French writer, dis
courses in the Atlantic Monthly Of
'Prussian Manners" and though he
never grows emotional or is otherwise
than calm and moderate in expression
he sets forth most damning picture.
After showing how unconquered
French repatriates are after months
of prison brutality he gives 1t as his
belief that the German tyranny does
not consist simply in an exorbitant ap-
plication of the dogma of might. Tt
has special notifications, peculiar to
the race. which make it even more
painful If that is possible. 1t is not in
spired solely by the systematic des-
potism and immortality cynically
adopted by Germany; it is not pure,
unadulterated application of any doc
trine; it springs from genuine lack
of morality, and from a well-spring of
vicious animalism, which psychologists
have so often detected in the German
blood.
"Not," he adds, 'that I am so foolish
as to hold that all Germans are low,
malignant, and brutal; but it can be
said without hesitation that such is,
generally speaking, their psychical
type, more or less emphasized; that
such are their racial characteristics, as
appears from innumerable facts gath
cred from the lips Of our repatriates

PUT CURB ON MISSISSIPPI.
Engineers Hope to Control Rivers Ec-
centricities by the Placing Of
Carpet In Its Bed.

The Mississippi river, most capri
cious and pampered of all streams, on
which Uncle Sam has spent millions
of dollars in jetties and levees to keep
her in proper place, is now having q
carpet made for her at an expense Of
many hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars. Rather she is having a number
OF carpets made; not of cotton or linen
or Wool, but Of trees and branches.
Some of the carpets are q mile in
length and 200 feet in width.
They will be used to carpet the bed
of the river near Memphis, Tenn, In
order to prevent the stream from
changing its course and leaving the
city high and dry. The Mississippi
has an unfortunate and, expensive hab-
1t of cutting new channels and desert
Ing towns upon it's banks that have
grown up into thriving centers on ac-
count of their position on the stream.
There are scores Of towns that have
been left, sometimes several miles back
from the new river bed. OF course this
results In the ruin Of the deserted
town. assAHssdasat,si . .sac:=-a's
In the case of Memphis, the conse-
quences Of the river cutting new
channel several miles west Of its pres
ent bed and leaving city Of more
than 100000 population stranded would
be so serious that the government has
come to the rescue Of the threatened
town. Immense carpets Of willow
branches, firmly fastened together,
have been laid over the bed Of the
stream. These great carpets, heavily
weighted with stone, sink to the bot
tom.
The carpets when properly laid are
pinned in place by piles driven down
through them deep into the bed of the
river. That stops the erosion Of the
river bed and keeps the channel in
place.

FOREIGN Demand for our Chemicals.

There is every indication that perma-
nent markets are being steadily gained
by American manufacturers of chemi-
cal products in all parts of the world,
remarks Popular Mechanics Magazine.
In the first nine months Of 1917 the
total exports in this line were $141,-
100000, as compared with $121.O0O,O 600
in the corresponding period in 1916,
and $54,00O.OOO in the first three quar-
tiers Of 1915. In connection with this
rapid expansion, students Of foreign
commerce are pointing out the neces-
sity Of making our export goods alb
solutely reliable in purity and strength.
Even slight carelessness in these par
ticulars would do incalculable harm at
this time.

IS MOST HATED
MAN MLONDON

London, June 30.-The taxicab driver
is the best-hated man in London. All
through the war he ruled the taxi :
ing public with an iron hand and his
sway, owing to the continued shoI :
age of cabs, probably will have to be
endured for many more months.
You may ride in a taxicab here
only if the driver finds that your deS-
tination suits his own convenience. His
decision will be influenced by his quIcl;
prognosis of the amount of the tip
your appearance and manner indicate.
II you look like "close un" you will
save time by joining a queue for a
bus or throwing yourself into the maei-
strom of a tube crowd, for it is GER
you won't ride in a taxicab.
Any man bold enough to challenge
the lofty authority of a taxicab wriver
wins instant popularity and draws
about him a throng of admirers. So
there were loud cheers and rush
for the spot when a passenger the
other day dove into an empty taxi
cab through the Strand and refused
the drivers demand that he get out.
The driver stopped his cab and re-
fused to bulge.

can't refuse a fare" said the passen-
ger.

Stick to it," the spectators urged

The crowd soon blocked the street.
The driver leaned unooncernedly
against the -udguard of his cab and
lighted a cigarette. The fare reclined
against the cushions. This continued
for twenty minutes. The crowd began
betting on the outcome. Odds were
offered on the driver.

rather weakly, II think I've taught

driver.
