They starts nobody knows where and they goes where they can’t nobody stop them from going. Nobody don’ t boss a wave. “¥f it comes up rough and stormy, a wave is pitched around and enjoys itself. And again, if it’s calm and loafy, the wave just floats along and sunts itself and slides along easy and graceful with the tide. A wave don’t need nothing to eat; a wave don’t crave nothing to drink. A wave don’t need no dough. 4 ay out there they rocks like in a hammock under a tree, kissed by| the sun, fanned by the breeze, play- ing with the fishes, laying on their back, with none to say them nay and none for to ask‘them what’s their) means of support.” It’s a picture both poetic and pleas- ant—for yacatio# time. There’s many a hot and many ‘a dreary day, when we go mumbling, grumbling, stumb-| ling thru existence, when it would seem the most desirable thing on} earth to be a wave. But tho the wave is always going, | he gets nowhere. Having no pur- | pose, he attains no end..

Some illuminating comment on this characertistic is given by A. Curtis Roth, former Americ#h consul gen- eral at Plauen, Saxony. When Ger- mans got into a quarrel, he says, all they do is call names.

A policeman finally silenced and separated them. One of them crossed the street and addressed Mr. Roth. “Did you hear me call him a cam- el-pig?” he asked proudly.

Says one: “Every sinking of a hospital ship} |should be answered by an air raid} that would blow @ German town off) the map.’ | The suggestion is worth consider- ing. It.sounds brutal, but we are| less squeamish about such matters, tahn we used to be. We begin to | doubt whether Germany herself can} pathic doses of her own brutality.
