A I3ritish observation balloon, an choredt at the western front, had its cables cut by enemiy airplanes, and the balloon soared thousands of feet upward into the clouds. A writer In London Mail, who witnessed the incident, describes what followed. From the point where it vanished, he says, we presently saw one small speek, then anot her, dropping from the clnuds, For some hundreds of feet they fell like dead weights, then para chutes opened, and the specks, now reveiled as men, were steadied In their earthwiard course, floating rap idly, htit safely. to the ground. After th ihlloon got free, they had diestroyed hIelir pae'rs atid instru n-lits, eInminotrml over the side of the basket, am lented for life into the great vol biena th them. trusting that the paraeliutes strappied round their waists woIld open when they should. Tinik of that desIperate spring into the %tst, gray vapory nothingness he nenthi t ie halloon ; the feelings of the non as they made it, uncertain of what wu-ould linhipen; the awful sensa tion of ast intt ywtirself blindly from such an appallling height with the knowledte t hat only a illnsy pilece of material, which might aet rightly and might not, intervened between your self and a crash into the earth many thousands of feet below; the tenso strain of the stone-like drop through two hundred feet of the void before the parnehute opeted, and then the anxious mental qu(ery, through the later stages of the descent: "What shall I light upon?"-a matter of su preme Consequence that chance gov erns absolutely. In this case, the men made a safe landing. SPLENDID WORK OF DIVER Feat of Underwater Repairing on Wrecked Steamer Is Given High Praise by Shipping Men. One of the most remarkable feats In the history of American labor, accord Ing to Capt. Louls Turner, represent ing marine underwriters, was the sub inarine repairing of a stfamer sal vaged off the California copst by a diver named Theodore Wicks. The success of this ninan In his perilous work made it possible to raise the ves sel for further important service in the government's war pfogrnm, where ship ping is so urgently needed. There were fully 100 patches of tem porary natuire to he put on the shatter ed sides of the vessel while it was bumping about on the rocks, making it by all odds the biggest job of the kind ever atIempted on the P1nelfle const. The biggest pa teli was ten feet wide and 10 feet long. Three layers of inch iank, with cainvas between, were used inl patching. This kept tle vater out while the ship wan being pumliiped. Large inters of shipping men vis Ited the tdry dock where the ship went after Diver Wick's exploits, and wvere jistonisled that it had been possible to salvage te ie(sl at all. The diver's work is viewe'd all along the coast as an Inspiration to labor iI its great task of winningli the war. New Light on Term "0. K."

"GET THEE BEHIND Mgt "The downfall of Germany began In 1870," said Franz Sigel, son of the famous Gen. Franz Sigel. Gernany's victory in 1870 was overwhelning, but 'n the end it overwhelmed her. Men who achieve sudden eminence or for tune often become intoxiented by their own success, says Milwaukee Journal. They scorn the steps up whch they cane. They become arro gant, selfish and self-centered. So it is with nations. - Victory, prosperity, power conspire to turn their heads. They glory in their brute strength and lose the sense of moral values. Itight st.eis to thei only their right. lRight as between iti and other nations teses to exist. They seei to them eives to sit 111ln s oi a iinnele.

Ghr 'niluy, Its tuany ano'tleer natimiin, forgot file inimienrable answer of the Saviour of men, "(let thee leiind me, 8iitan." The war has re-enforced the prole tarIat by reducing to its ranks whole sections of the former middle class the great hrmy of salaried employees and others of fixed incomnes, who have suffered from the rise of prices more severely than manual workers, and have seen their savings waste away and their standard of living rediced until they are on the verge of pauier ium, says World's Work. This Is no exaggerated statement; it describes the actual conditions of minor govern ment employees, teachers, salesmen, clerks, office workers aud others in re Iated occupations throughout central Europe. The radlenl changes sweeping over the world just now will probably in clude the fetleh of precedent. Of Course, it stiffents a mnn's backbone in doing an unuisuil thing to be able to say that sonebody else has already done it before himl. But he ought to have originl backbone enough to do it ibeeause it is the obvioum thing to be done, irrespective of the detail whether it has been done hofore or not. And nations require backbone in dealing with einelttncies quite an much as do individuna. It is sahl thit the ex-kaer sought to he another Napoleon.
