( 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

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.
