the determination of tlie allies, said
the Premier, wan that Belgium must
be restored as a free and Independent
country.
Turning to the chancellor's state
ment regarding the I'-boat war, Mr.
Llnyd-George said that April was the
height of German piratical triumph
The <Jet-mans could look back to that
month as a month of glory.
'Since then." he continued, "we?
have faced longer days' which in
creased our dltticulties enormously on
the high seas. but. although our ditll
<?11!ties were great, we have gradual
ly decreased our losses, and, although
we have had only three weeks of
July, compared with three weeks in
April our losses arc less than one
half.
"Thi> year we have turned out four
times us many ships as last,year. Iji
the Inst two months of this year we

"i Mir food supply for 1P17-1* is at

losses are greater. It won't l>e long
before Michaeli- will have to deliver

The Human Factors
In Good Service
There are three parties to every tele
phone conversation?:the party calling,
the trained operator, and the party who
answers. All three share alike the respon
sibility for quick and accurate telephone
service.
The calling party should give the cor
roct number in a distinct voice, speak
ing directly into the transmitter, and
wait at the telephone until the party an
swers or the operator reports. The called
party should answer promptly.
Patience on the part of the telephone
user and the telephone operator is also es
sential to good service.

STORY OF SEAGOING STEER
It Floated Around New York Harbor
lor Many Hours and Caused Much
Excitement Before Resound*
Sever* 1 longshoremen were biting
Into thick sandwiches of gurltc on the
water front whw? there cume a prodi
gious thumping on the. pluuk uuder
neath. The floor of the pier gave forth
u hollow Kountl.
On*' of the longshoremen. the Brook
lyn Kagle testifies, swallowed his gar
Ik* the wrong way aiul let out u Polish
'exclamation. Then he bent oyer and
applied his eye* to u eraek In the
woodwork* At drat he could Dot make
out anything in the murk, but ut length
a pair of green eyes met hla horrltled
gase, It seemed, to Ida untuton^ mind,
conclusive evidence of a peraonal call
from the evil one. and when horns
rapped the planking and a long tall
swished the water he went away from
there very quickly. With him went
the rest of the longshoremen.
Up winding Fulton atreet they aped
and around the crooked corner Into
narrow Poplar atreet, where they very
nearly carried the door of the Popla*
street police atatlon off ita hinges. They
arrived before the desk sergeant all
abreast and told their atory, -as their
knees amote one against another and
tbelr hands groped feehly for the desk
rail. The desk lieutenant thought at
first It was a case of "greenhouse"
whisky, hut he finally sent a man down
to investigate. The patrolman found
that the apparition was only a steer
which had been thrown Into the river
and had swum up under the dock. He
did not know just what to do and his
police manual gave hlra no help. Ob
viously he could not loosen tSe steer's
collar and roll It over a barrel. Nor
could he give It an antidote for poison.
At last he had a bright thought and
called up the dock department, the
steer being at a dock and therefore,
per se a fit subject for the dock de
partment. "
The dock department responded?or
part of It did?with saws. Then having
opened a nice round hole In one of the
city's docks, Its work was done, and it
sent for the S. P. C. A. The S. P. O. A.
does all hoisting John appertaining to
steers, mustangs or other anlmrfl flot
sam lifted from th^ river.
Some brave man passed a rope
around the middle of Taurus and every
body gave a "Yo, heave ho!" Up camp
the steer and stood dripping on the
dock with the seaweed hanging from
his flanks. 0
This steer is supposed to have been
in the river for 48 hours before It was
rescued.
Communal Kitchens.
Tt Is expected that, with the assent
of the food controller of Orent Brit
ain, an experiment In the use of com
| munal kitchen* will he in vogue very
j soon. The need for.these aids to the
' feeding of the people Is threefold;
j the large nuinher of families who are
I unable. through Ill-health or other
I causes, to participate tn the economic
' advantages of the war; the difficulty
of obtaining sultahTe and nourishing
foo?l for ehlldren: and the necessity
of having an organization like this In
direct touch with the central headquar
ters. The food once cooked at the
central kitchen would he sent out In
large tin-lined boxes or double cans
to the various depots for sale, aiW fn
these hip. closed receptacles it would
keep hot a long time. At the depots.it
might he well to supply hot plates for
the food to stand on so that when
bought it twouid need little reheating
before it was served, says a London
correspondent. The demand for a va
riety of diets can all he met, and
plans have already been thought out
for dealing with a thousand-and-one
Interesting questions that arise.
Substitute for Copper.
The tise of soft steel and iron as
a partial substitute for copper in the
manufacture of decorative metals is
being experimented with fn the depart
ment of manual arts at the University
of Wisconsin.
For years It has been traditional for
decorative metal products to be made
wholly or In large part of copper, brass
or some other alloy of copper. The
price 0t copper Is now so high, more
than 50 rents a pound, that a substi
tute is needed In decorathve metal.
The kind of steel and iron required
in this kind of work costs at present
14 cents a pound. Tn many respects
this steel is as good. If not better, thtin
copper. It works easily, wears as
well, Is not discolored or oxidized as
quickly, and for many uses Is even
stronger than copper. It lacks the
red-gold luster, hut can be given a
silvor-hued burnish, or can be decorat
ed with paints.?University of Wiscon
sin Rulletin.
Humanity's Lengthened Life.
Fifty years ago the average length
of human life In the United Stajes
was in the neighborhood of thlfty
four years. Today the average Ameri
can citizen lives to he forty-five years
of age. And fifty years from now
the average human life will have
lengthened to almost sixty years.
All of this gain in lengthened life
is due to the practice of disease pre
vention. And If the world would put
Into practice all that Is known of dis
ease prevention today, the life of even
the present generation might . be
lengthened by a dozen years or so. J
A Question.
"The Hindoos have some queer cus
toms. The women wea? strings of
gold coins and many bangles. One fe
male will frequently carry all the fam
ily wealth."
"Are we so very different?" Inquired
Flubdub, Indicating a display of {easy
payment diamond* that was going hy.

Mothers! Sweetheart* I Sisters 1
Here's a now way to "I>o your bit,"
equally as Important as knitting gray
wool socks for the recruits or cutting
bandages for the Bed Cross.
"Write a cheerful letter to your
soldlor."
Having Its origin at Chlckamauga,
tho South's greatest war mobllUayon
center, this vogue, for it has found fa
vor much ax the American godmother
to the French soldier fad, is bounding
into popular favor. It is accelerated
by these advantages? it is based on
facts; it strikes at an Imperative need,
and It achieves obvious q^*ultis.
The facts are these: 80 per
cent of the letters recelve(rS>y the
array man convey, Instead of good
cheer, a tale of petty woes and Imag
inary griefs.
"There's a vacant chair at the ta
ble, George."
"Poor sister's went to work to help
support us since you went away."
"IIow we need your strong, broad
ahouiders to help us hear the burdsh."
"Mother's sick. Father's sprained
his little finger nnd poor little Johnny's
down with the measles." v
These are typical dum-dum letters
to boys In camp. Ninety per cent of
them are better left unpenned. And
herefrom springs the new service.
"Shield the boy from the trifling
cares and worries of home," urge the
officers. "Tell him how proud you are
of him, how fine you know he's doing,
how happy you all are.
"Soldiers, like schoolboys, particu
larly the younger ones that are out In
the world alone for the first time, look
forward to the letters from home with
eagerness," said a veteran major. "If
they carry a morbid tone, he Imbibes
It; drinks It to the dregs, and broods.
Either that, or as with some disposi
tions, he becomes reckless and care
less.
"On the other hand, a cheery letter
encourages him and sends him forth
with a will to lick a regiment single
handed.
"Either way the effect Is contagious.
"Despondent, the trooper is reduced
to one-half efficiency. His spirit
spreads to the sqend, So the company.
He becomes discouraged and dissatis
fied with the service. Gloom letters
are responsible for more than half the
desertions."
So It Is that the Importance o) a
trooper's mail Is recognized by army
officers far Mid wide, and at Chlcka
mauga- the rrt>w "bit" Is set In motion.
It lias already gone so far that stu
dents at the officers' training camp are
receiving dally epistles, even from fair
ones they do not know, each carrying
n little insertion of joy. The result is
general cheerfulness and firm endeav
or throughout the camp.
"Write a cheerful letter to your sol
dier," IS the slogan.
Largest Gold Dredge.
A dredge company contracted with
the Unitpd Statos Kovornment not long
ago to build flood-restraininj* levees on
plthpr side of the Yuba River, Cal.,
and to do It free of charge, the condi
tion being that the company be al
lowed to drpdge for gold while fulfill
ing Its contract. Accordingly a gold
dredge, costing $f>00,000, was built
which is said to be the largest of Its
kind in the worlfl. An unusual fea
ture of the mammoth floating machine
is that it has two nrms, each 225 feet
long, instead of one. These are pro
vided with 44-Inch belt conveyors that
deposit the tailings on either bank of
the stream as thp dredge moves along.
The digging ladder is equipped with
steel buckets of 18 cubic feet capacity,
which can dig to a depth of 89 feet
The hull which supports all this ma
chinery is entirely of steel and Is 165
feet long and 68 feet wide. The gold
saving tables have an area of 8,000
square feet.?Popular Mechanics'Mag
azine.
Ideals Worth 8triving For.
Engineers and industrial managers
are glad to make needed personal sac
rifices In support of-their government.
It is no mean call to duty. Many are
no# consciously or unconsciously
passing through a period of thinking
that can lead but to one conclusion?
that there are some things more valu
able than earthly existence Itself.
Every enlisted man, whether he real
Ires It or not, has that belief, and so
believing. Is ready for his own supreme
sacrifice if It must come. Thousands
of othprs must accept that principle
of action for themselves before our ln-/(
du?tries can be made so effective ad
they must become to make the nation
strong.?L. P. Alford, In Industrial
Management.
Ready to Please.
A French lady of consequence, who
had a lawsuit, came to solicit the fa
vor of the president of the court in
which the case was to he adjudicated.
The magistrate, not receiving her in
the wa^ she expected, she was some
what chagrlnpd, and on passing into
the antechamber, said loud enough to
he heard: "Plague take that old ape.**
The next day, the lady gaining her
cause, she ran directly to thank the
president, who merely replied:
"Know, madame, another time/that
an old" ape is always ready toplensea
young one."
