P A NEW CAMPS AND NEW LEGISLA- % ‘' TION. ¢ - When. it has been intimated that the calling out of the second draft men was delayed to some extent by the laek of accommodations at the various cantonments, and for that reason they ‘were called cnly when the movement of troops abroad made it possible to get quarters for them, it who is.always just.” lfi‘l vat Va5, ay mknmiacrk apuact oo rous, may un: h the throne of heaven.” Under. this ruling the way is not likely to crowded.

In connection with the speeding up of efforts in every line of industry in order to take care of the war needs it is fully recognized that an increased zard is involved in those estab- shments unless there is an incre: in the amount of care exercised- in proportion to the ' business “develop- ment. The same determined efforts must be put forth in behalf of the prevention of accidents and fires un- der the new schedule of opérations as there was under the old, which means that the increase in the size of the plant, the number of employes and the hours which the plant is kept running calls for a like increase in protective measures. It is because of the lack of this that many of the dé¢- structive fires have resulted. But in this connection it is te be realized that what is true of the in- dustries is likewise true of the rail- roads. They were never before driven to the limit§ which they are todas;] but that fact does not mean that there can be any let up on the part of the cmployes to insure safe transporta- tion, whether freight* or passenger trains are involved. We cannot af- ford to sacrifice lives, rolling stock or the goods in transit. Yet that is just what is taking place when railroad wrecks occur through a lack of at- tention upon the part of any officials connected with the operation of the roads. There have of late been sev- eral bad freight wrecks and one seri- ous passenger smashup. These should be carefuily investigdted and after the fault is determined increased ef- forts must be made to prevent thein in the future. We must be diligent in our saving as well as in our produc- tion. STOPPING FOOD WASTE. Just what is needed in order to bring about the elimination of a tre- mendotls waste in foodstuffs which takes place every year is the policy adopted and enforced by the food ad- ministration in denying to dealers the privilege of doing business ‘when the practices to which they have resorted are selfish and detrimental. This is well illustrated by the case in Ansonia where the license of a commission house has been revoked because a carload of potatoes was allowed to spoil because of a refusal to accept it. From the facts as set forth this concern had ordered the potatoes but between the time in which the order was placed and the day on which the goods were received there had been a considerable drop in the price. To accept the potatoes would have meant some loss to the firm so the claim was put forth that the potatoes had not been ordered. They were refused and while allowed to remain in the car because of the eituation caused by the unwilling- ness to accept them they spoiled. It was a case where because judg-| rines at Viadivestok shows that there ment had failed and the firm figured!is unity among the allies regarding that it would have to lose by accept-|the policy in the far east. ing them, or at least could make no profit, it was willing to allow the waste of the carload lot of food re- gardless of the effect upon the ship-|{ losing their lives faster than new air- | try, for that eanmot fail.

But while the cantonments are being gotten ready sight cannot be lost of] the fact that the draft legislation which is still hanging fire also needs speeding up. THE NEW NAVAL BASE. That publicity is given to the fact that this country has beén éstablish- ing a naval base in the Agzorés indi- cates that the plans are pretty ther< oughly developed if not actually com- pleted. . Work has been goifig én in that direction for a long time with a full understanding om the part of Portugal and in fact a desire by that .nation as well as the people of the islands that the plan should be put through. Portugal well understands the need of such actiond It knows that if shipping is Soing to be pro- tected as it should be and if the sub- marines are ,going to be curbed as they should be there must be a base for operations and it prefers that the Azores should be selected rather than some other islands in that viciaity. Up to now the subinarinés have beenpractically unhampered in that field of operations which involved the trade routes to southern Europe and the' Mediterranean. There are rea- sons to believe that they have estab- lished temporary bases on some of the -uninhabited islands for the in- creaséd effectiveness which would be given to the underwater boats. Such a base, established and maintained by this government, means therefore that the very protection which has heen 50 long needed is going to be provided, and from it not only this country but Portugal and the allied natidns, with the neutrals as well, whose vessels frequeht that part of the ocean, are going to benefit. It is unquestionably a war measure demanded by prevailing conditions as the complete understanding Bf the nations involved indicates, and there are reasons to believe that it will pro- duce results in keeping with antici- pation. These are true patience test days, and doubtless we shall be very much improved by the experience’ which they furnish. There is no escape and everybody has to face the music. We dv not all face them with the same resolution and calmness. But those who realize that impatience is the ruin of strength are holding firm. Patience is the tax of purpose and the key to all achievements. ~ It never stands for neutrali for that is so closely allied to inertia that is is un- praisewortlly. Patience is not only the art of hoping, but the genius of attainment. It doesn’t pay to worry— Everybody should brace up! Buffo supplies us with this bracing thought: | “Never think that God’s delays are God's denials. Hold o Hold fast!! Hold out! We are facing the errors of thousands of yvears and by overthrowing “them shall create a new earth. “A traitor is geod fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty,” declared an eminent Ameri- can divine in the dark days of the civil war, and the sentimént found a nation-wide endorsement: and the boughs of our liberty tree are no less popular among the people today for such adornment than they were then. We find in Shakespeare that’ “tréason as two yoke-devils, sworn to either's purpose;” and the revelations of to- day are constantly confirmifig this long recogmized truth, It is a Dpity the boughs of our liberfy trée can- mot adorn itself with this fruit’ and it is strange the sons of liberty are found - hesitating - wiere they ‘&hould have valiantly and speedily have 'done their duty. Dryden ~ warns us “where trust -is greatest. there treason is in its most horrid shape.” How these old truths fit the present situation when administrative action doesn’t. Have you the-bound-to-win spirit. 1t is a good thing to have in time of peace and time of war. It is some- thing everybody. needs all the time, and its absence is a deplorable weak- ness in these days. Those who are bound to -win tackle the things same zeal they do work they enjoy. It is a policy with some people to tackle the work they do not like first to make way for the work they do en- joy. No one lacks harrowing con- ditions in these times—no one has a clear vision. The future has no rain- bow of promise; but things are coming out all right because you and I have faith they ~will, and ‘because we are going to do everything in our power to make them. Keep your ginger box inexhaustible. Do not add your weight to the drag. but keep the pulling line, the line of power. If doubt gets into your bound-to-win spirit it is on the wane, EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Geérman officer lcoked at him and smiled, say- ing: “I thought you Americans had genius enough to remedy a thing like that. If a hole lets water run in at the toe cut a Hole in the heel so that it can run out.” - And when this soldier was slipping about upon glare ice the ingenious guard showed him that if he carried his wooden shoes in his hand and walked barefooted upon the ice he wouldn't slip, and to prove it hiked him barefoot on ice five miles. From the variety of cruelties practiced upon prisoners one is almost confirmed in the belief that hell was made in Ger- many. With the dull and cloudy days the weather tan appears to havé been doing his best to nullify the daylight saving effort. ek i i When George Creel attempts to preparedness at the openihg of the war he makes a most miserable fizzle of it.

No_one can help admiring the self- confidence which Gerfany persisténtly maintaifns, and in the midst of her present troubles she has flung out this inspiring motto: “Two-fold work and two-fold economiy,” as fit for the gatéway of Germany’s future..

A small® hoy came home schol bringing a writing lesson which the teacher had written word “Bxcellent.” Even to proud, parentai eyes the praise seemed soméwhat excessive for the product. The charaéters were sprawling and rudely formed. - Some of the “i's” lacked dots ‘and ‘some of the “t's” weré uncérossed. The lad had a long way to go before his product could truly be called “excellent.” What the teacher had seen was not ‘a’ result, but a tendency. She realized ‘that this effort was better than the one of a week previous. Progress was being made. Today's page showed improvement even over yesterday’s. from on the With any of us the question is not so much where we have arrived as in what direction we are going. One is sure to reach any goal in the world if he keeps journeying toward it.- The main thing to keep pointing right. Of course, more than ordinary care is necessary in this connection. An automobilist once asked a way- side farmer how far it was to Taun- ton. “It's about twenty-four thousand miles, if you keep on the wdy you're going,” was the reply; “but it's about eight miles, if you'll turn around.” Thousands of human travelers should execute a right about face, if they are to reach any destination worth while. Nothing good lies ahead, as far as human view can reach, in the direction they are now going. If one judges most of his fellow beings on the basis of their present attainments, he holds a brief for pessifiism. Under any absolute standards of personal efficiency or personal righteousness most: of us would make a sorty showing. Under any careful view the average man is as full of faults as a thistle of prickers, Smug and complacent folk will not notice their own deficiencies, but they are there. The apostle Paul, whose moral at- tainments surely overtopped those of most men, never imagined that he knew all there was to know or had accomplished alll therée was to accomplish. - “Not as though T had already attained, neither were already made perfect,” he said. It is a zreat and wholesome lesson learned when one realizes that. he is not perfect. The Apostle was never satisfied in his imperfection, however, nor content with what he had already attained. 'Life pictured itself to him as a race, the goal of which was in full view, although very far off. No discouragement should rest on one who must live far behind his ideals. “A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?” Defeat is usually thought of as dis- honorable. Sometimes, it is. But it is so only when it comes through cow- ardice or lack of effort. There is no disgrace in failure when one has bravely done his best. It may be something, not to be ashamed of, but something to be glad for, because, through it, one' has set his feet on a higher plane. For noble souls through dust and heat rise from disaster and defeat The stronger. And conscious still of the divine Within_them, ife on earth supine No longer. There is beauty In imperfection, though sometimes we fail to see it. Imperfection may be a state of progress.-a’ phase of developmeént. It is the picture before the artist has finished it, the bud that promises the flower by and by. It is therefore beautiful in its time and place. - For really earnest people faults may. be thought of as growing pains that prophesy larger life. “Beloved, now m; we! so;m ot %Od and it doth not yet appear what we shall be.” “Perhaps,” said Victor Hugo, “I am the tadpols of an archangel” /YAnd everyofie that hath this hope set i him purifieth himself, evanD :: H'e' is pure” The PARSON..
