FIND FEST IN LIVING

From the kanas City Star
 Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, sister of Theodore Roosevelt, has just brought out a. volume of verse that includes two tributes to her brother. In one of them appears these striking lines:
 I loved you for the buoyant fun
 That made perpetual holiday
 For all who ever crossed your way,
 The highest or the humblest one.
 l loved you for the radiant zest,
 The thrill and glamour that you gave
 To ench glad hour that we could save
 And Carner from Times grim behest
 Most persons probably thought of Roosevelt as an intensely serious man He was tremendously in earnest. But into everything with enormous zest. His quainty humorous remarks enlivened ev- cry fight he made. People looked for ward to being with him. He was good company.
 It is that way with most big men. Occasionally one is morose. But most of them could say with Stevenson, Glad did l live, and gladly die.' When a man is really big it means that he has a keen appreciation of the human comedy He is gifted with insight. He does things with enthusiasm.
 The table talk of Martin Luther makes fascinating reading today Napoleon was keen converse tionalist, as all the me- moirs show. Gladstone, for all his habit of featuring the queen as if she were the House of Commons, was looked on as fascinating table companion. Delane, the famous editor of the London Times, held the British record for the number of con- secutive nights he dined out, because people liked to talk with him. Lincoln was most companionable. The men who did the big things in Washington during the war were famous for their buohncy. Indeed, the energy and ability to achieve almost invariably imply resiliency ana an ability to enjoy life that endear their possessor to those who come in contact with him.
 Human nature in its strongest manl- | festations is a cheerful thing. The per son who practices being grand, gloomy and peculiar as an indication of genius | is off on the wrong foot.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 Richmond Pearson Hobson, the promi- nent one nighter, passes out the inspir. ing thought that "the human race, mani festly, is sick, out of harmony with it's environment and the laws of nature" And all the time we thought that it was booze that was ailing it.

What Cooperation Does
 For Civic Advancement

THE splendid success of the Cham O Der of Commerce membership campaign is due to two things-thor- ough organization and the best sort of team work.
 With a membership of 2231 and hundred or more business concerns ready to join, the chamber will be in position to accomplish wonders, and with the spirit of cooperation that 1 is now manifesting itself it is safe to predict that wonders will be ac- complished. R. A. Brown, the new president, knows how. He has tact and pluck and no end of perseverance and he is sure to put the Chamber of Commerce abreast with the most ef- ficient civic organizations in the United States.
 The announcement that an Ensley lsection of the chamber will be cre- ated will be hailed with satisfaction throughout the city. Ensley cooper ated heartily in the membership cam ipaign, and now for the first time there is a genuine solidarity of senti- ment in every outlying part of Bir- Imingham.
 The good that will come of the re- cent membership drive cannot be over lestimated.

Germany's Losses
In U -boat '. a:---Eare

In U-boat '. a-are
 M7O or only was the total number of J N submarines possessed by Ger many at any period during the war greatly exaggerated, but large per- centage of her U-boats, possibly more than half, were sunk.
 According to the Berlin Vossische Zeitung, Germany lost 198 subma- rines and more than 5000 sailors in the attempt to break the allied block ade. Several thousand others became insane and were committed to lunatic asylums.
 A somber story lies behind these figures, a story of desperate hazards at sea, of prolonged nervous strain and death in its most horrible form. There is nothing the mind can con- ceive of more narrowing than the ex- periences of crew trapped in a sub marine below the surface of the sea and suffocated or asphyxiated by deadly fumes. An explosion and in stant death was a fate devoutly to be wished for, but it is probable that many of Germany's submarine sailors endured prolonged agony.
 These facts, which were of course known to the personnel of the German navy, made service on U-boats equiva- lent to a sentence to death and it was doubtless true, as reported, that it was difficult to get Germany's U-boats manned, particularly when the meth ods adopted by the allied naval forces were sending these vessels to the bot tom with alarming frequency.
 In many respects the U-boat cam paign was Germany's most disastrous venture during the war. It was not only failure in itself, but caused Germany's defeat on land by forcing America into the struggle.

Rapid Advancement
 In the Philippines

THE nineteenth anniversary num-
 N Der of the Manila Daily Bulle- tin, printed on heavy white paper in magazine form and beautifully illus trated, is not only a fine example of newspaper enterprise, but it is a reve- lation of the growth and prosperity in that section of the Philippines.
 Imposing homes, club houses, schools, public buildings, hotels, com mercial and financial establishments, fairy-like gardens, driveways and picturesque resorts show the progress made by the Filipinos under the benign protectorate of Uncle Sam. In fact these views create the impression that Manila is now one of the most attractive cities on the globe Yet, only twenty years ago Generals Otis, Macarthur and Funston were waging . brisk warfare for the subjugation of the islands and many of the promi- nent men whose pictures appear in the Bulletins special edition were in arms against America.
 In glacing through the 162 pages of this issue one is struck by the force full and intelligent features of the Filipinos who are playing part. ir the government of the islands anc leading in social and business life
