( AX TAKE ANYTHING. Says England and America Will Get Man Eating Tig^r. "We have no need to worry. I have seen Vimy Ridge. I can see it now in my mind's eye. And any army that can take Vimy Ridge can take anything in Europe?believe me." This was one of the things Sir Walter. Roper Lawrence, member of the British war mission to the United States, headed by Lord Northcliffe, said at the Boston City Club ' Tuesday evening, speaking on "Ideals of the World War." The men the United States is sending over are of the same mettle, he said. The people must stand behind them, must make them feel they are behind them. He urged the people to write to their soldiers; that a letter from Jome improves the fighting value of the man. "There are no short cuts in this war," he said; "is must be won slowly." He cautioned against any thought of a compromise peace. "We may some day shake hands with the Germans," he said, "but we will never make peace with Prussian ideals." "It meant much to the English," he said, "when they knew on April 6 last that the United States was surely coming into the war. It was not your man power we wanted at the time as much as your approval. When you came in, then we knew we were right. We knew that you understood the l < - * . V- ? kind of brutal barbarian the world had been fighting for three years. "Some of us had always felt sure that if any" great emergency arose ! America and Great Britain would De found fighting shoulder to shoulder. ~ r Thank God it is so. As your American ambassador has said, 'On the v, . two English speaking nations of the world the future safety of the world depends'." Sir Walter said that the soldiers pi ' ?are going to have a great say in the future of the world. "When they come back they will raise their hands for a league of nations. I feel some-1 1- how since the war began that Providence is working toward H\s great ends in this inscrutable manner." Unless peace is had through vicvv' tory, he said, democracy will be discredited. If the United States had ?.-.f < to live under such a sword of Damocles, its people would be forced to become a military people. "Whatever way you look at a compromise peace,, it would mean that all your sacrifices had been in vain." And again touching on what the war is doing to bring England and ivf'* * r the United States closer, he spoke of th? comradeship that will come tfhen they have gone through it to> . : gether, "and got this man-eating tiger of humanity."?Christian Science Monitor. ?>. .? A Unique Test for Soldiers. i'fZ - . \ ' J. "To decide whether a man is fit to be a military officer a psychological test is resorted to in the examination at a cantonment in the East," says The Ohio State Journal. "It is operated something after this fashion: A simple mechanical contrivance, a mouse trap or toy, is dismembered into ten pieces, and the person examined is required to put1 these together and restore the trap or toy. It is called the 'mechanical assembling test.' It is astonishing how varied are the results of this test. If it takes a person seventeen minutes to put the pieces together he is disqualified. One of the applicants did his work with the mouse trap in thirteen minutes and another in fourteen minutes. It is certainly an interesting and instructive experiment and might be more extensively used in our educational system. The speed with which the combination is made is the real test. Anyone could pass the?test if he took all the time he wanted. Here is where the advantage of the test is best seen? the person who takes it has to 'hump himself' if he gets there, a fact that our education so much ignores." AMPLE SUGAR FOR PRESERVING. Will Be Able to Obtain Sugar Necessary for Requirements. Washington, Feb. 21.?Ample supplies of sugar will be available during the coming season, the food administration announced tonight, to meet the necessary requirments ol iooa manuiaciurers anu lor nouso' hold preserving, purposes. "All manufacturers of essential ? food products," a food administration St at ement said, "are advised that ihev will be able to obtain their fui necessary lequirements. This api plies particularly to the packers of fruit, condensed milk and such vege' tables for the preservation of which sugar may be necessary, as well as the housewives for usage in preserving purposes. As the car shortage is relieved supplies of sugar will be available for the necessary preservation purposes. Shipments from Cuba are steadily increasing." V BELGIANS AS FERTILIZER. Belgian Read Transported Across the llhine to lie Crushed. Frederick C. Walcott, an official representative of the National Food Administration in Washington, addressed the Women's Section of the Maryland League for National Defense yesterday afternoon in the assembly room of the Lexington street , building, his subject being the part food will play in the war. Mr. Walcott, who had been inves- ! tigating food conditions in Europe , prior to this country's entrance into i the world's war, touched upon many 1 alleles of the situation, and gave a , realistic description of the suffering from starvation in Belgium, Servia and Poland. He said that more than four million Belgians had been kept alive by food furnished them by the Allies I before this country entered the war j and that since last April when war . was declared the United states has ; | been furinshing the starving Belgians with food. In speaking of President ( Wilson's appointment of Herbert . Hoover as the National Food Ad- i ministrator, Mr. Walcott said he had < made a wise choice, as no living man * had training and education along ? these lines that made him so well i fitted for the position as Herbert Hoover. 1 s During his stay in Belgium shortly ] after the German invasion he often came in contact with Governor Gen- ( eral von Bissing, the Teuton dictator * of Belgium, who boasted to him that Germany would use the opportunity t of Belgium's plight to further her in- t terests toward world conquest. He described the suffering in Belgium as pitiable, and said all the food in f the country was taken for the up- ^ keep of the German army. J The condition in Poland was similar. He saw thousands of human c bones beside the roads, and said that German motor trucks would pick the . bones up and ship them back to Germany vto be made into fertilizer. One of the roads that he spoke of'led to Petrograd, while the other led to Moscow. It was on these roads that the great Russian retreat began. . There were 1,01)0,000 persons made homeless in Poland, he declared, and of this number more than 400,000 have died of starvation, while the remaining 600,000 were diseased and covered with vermin. In Serbia, he said, 750,000 persons were killed by the Bulgars, Austrians and Germans, and as a further demonstration of German kultur the Turks, led by Germen officers, murdered 600,000 Ar-' menians. He said that the recent Italian defeat was due partly to the fact that Italy, torn apart with German ^intrigue, could not feed her army properly as the transportation system in ' that country had broken down, and gave that as the reason why 250,000 Italians stood at attention while the victorio s Germans and Austrians marched by them. Rumania, he said, was cabling to Washington for foodl stating that if I they were not supplied they would be forced to seek a German peace; France cabled that unless the United States could furnish her cereals she could not hold out; England sent word that she must have 75,000,000 bushels of wheat within the next three months, and the United States' reply to these cables was, "We will ship your grain on time." In order to meet the demands of the/Allies, he then pointed out, we must consume 25 per cent, less wheat c for the next nine months.?Baltimore C American. * Street Car Fare Conservation. j New York.?A pretty little blonde-haired girl, about twelve, boarded a Fifth avenue uptown 'bus. The conductor hurriedly shoved out his change receiver for her to deposit her dime. "Not today, thank you," she said to him, smiling "What's this, Miss?not today?" "I mean, sir, I don't want to give you a dime today." "I know that's what you mean, but how do you figure I can allow little girls to ride free?" "I don't know, only mama says we must conserve every penny? not spend a single cent where it is not necessary?and so I have decided to buy a doll dress for a Belgian baby with my dime instead of paying it for a ride." Every one laughed and the con ductor didn't have the heart to argue longer. Ho[>e for the Zebra. Next to snakes, the zebra is the most perfect case of delirium tremens in the animal kingdom. But the zebra's case isn't utterly hopeless. His stripes are bad, but he might take lessons from a peroxide blonde.?St. Paul News. ^ < i m Slander is the greatest social amusement some people have.
