Twelve thousand graduate nurses have already enrolled for' this service, and that's not the end. j The work of these able and courageous womejfc. is sadly parodied on magazine covers, where high heels,' arch looks, an impossibly tight white uniform and an eggshell china cup of broth are set out as the essentials.; One gets the idea that military, nursing is just a more exciting sort of matinee, and that army hospitals are full of handsome young officers who have been interestingly (and proper-: ly) shot through the shoulder. But ! this is only the pettification of our magazines. Everybody knows that nursing is a cruelly hard job; that it: takes all that one can have of j strength and soul; that the very J smell of a war hospital is a fairly: sure disinfectant for any selfish fri- j volity. No doubt it would be too1 j much to* ask the artist to sketch a' 1 ! J real army nurse at her real work, but ] if we are to have sentiment, why not!. have it true instead of sham??Col- ' lier's. Lesson of the Western Front. ] ! i Even if we imagine the worst come to pass for the Allies, and Kussia out c of the struggle, what is there for Germany to look for in the West but. ( a "defensive" indefinitely continued? 1 J With the Allies in France outnumbering the enemy nearly two to one, with America coming on, not the < transfer of all of Germany's eastern j ^ forces to the West could give her the; superiority necessary to victory. That is the lesson which the newj 1 battle in the West reemphasizes. Tliej ' Allies have the power in the one re- < gion where the war-map does count, j ' An advance for them means a serious i * threat for the enemy. Failure to ad-' . vance would only mean a continuance j of the struggle until such a time as! the confidence of the German people!' in the ability of its leaders to oring; it peace with victory, already badly! ( shaken, is shattered. Renewed allied ]\ offensives may not make Germany j1 powerless, in Mr. Balfour's phrase, j [ but must help to make Germany free, j ) ?Mrs. R. L.

The reason why one tiny mouse is capable of scaring a herd of elephants half to death is found in the fact that in the elephants' native land there are little animals known aschacanas, which feed on a small, sour berry of which elephants are very fond. They live in settlements, after + at* a f noirin /I Affo nn/lor fVlD tuc lliaau^i ui pan x^> unu^i unv berry bushes, and sometimes, when feeding, the elephants trample upon the little towns, and the chacanas in their fright freeqiuently run up the tubes of the elephants' trunks. Their long sharp claws catch in the flesh, j and they cannot be ejected. The more violently the monster blows [ through its trunk the more firmly; the hooked claws of the/little ani-l mal become embedded in the flesh and inflamation and death are the j result. In captivity, elephants think j they are in danger of. the deadly chancanas when they see a mouse.
