This ration is not to be confused with the "canned peace" food of the Huns. The hest war news we. have read in a long time is contained in a re- cent French comminique: "The German retreat continues." We have concrete houses on land; we have concrete houses on the sea. Maybe we will have coa- crete houses floating in the air! A salaried man was heard to re- mark "that the struggle of many of his set is to get along in any decent fashion at the present high cost of living." One in seven of all German pri- soners captured in the"Marne pocket is nineteen years of age or under. Germany is using her Thoy-power: "to the limit. On Friday morning at the Hull police 'station $500 worth of confis- cated Vquor 'was poured down the city sewer. Why this waste, when 'hospitals, munition plants, ete, can find good use for the liquor? Germany set out in the spring to divide the British and French arm- jes. ~~ After the loss of hundreds of thousands of her best troops, she finds these armies more closely un- ited than ever before.

Her material as- sistance may be small, but the spirit that prompts it is great The New ion, 1 York Times points out that President Menocal's pelicy calls for the partici- pation of Cuba in the war to limit of her resources. An army of 100, 000 men could be sent to France if needed. Volunteers are already fighting: "over there" in the Ameri- army and with the French Foreign Legion. Cuban aviators are in the field, rendering acceptable services. Contributions to the Red Cross in Cuba have been liberal un- der the inspiration of the president's wife. The Congress at Havana re- 'leently voted $2,600,000 to be distri- buted among Red Cross organizations in 1 United States, Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy. The budget this year, most of it to be de- voted to 'war purposes, amounts to $64,000,000. A hospital unit, to in ¢lude 100 doctors and nurses, has been equipped to go to the front. Cuba prizes her own newly-won free- dom enough that she is ready to make whatever sacrifices are requir- ed in order that the world may be freed from despotism and military autocracy. The dedication of her re- sources to such a glorious mission gives sufficient answer to the Gere man doctrine that small states have no excuse for existence. SOME BY-PLAYS OF THE WAR. . ICurious----indeed, almost incred- ible~--are some of the incidents aris- ing out of the great struggle now convulsing the world. The imagin- ation of the most versatile novelist would fail to produce such strange unexpected happenings as are daily taking place, but which) in the presence of more momentous events, pass into the realm of forgotten things with 'little or no, attention paid them on their way. They point to the wonderful, the amazing, change which has come over the world. A few such incidents may GREAT not be uninteresting. Singing Our Anthem.

Why should a lawyer under pretence of legal proceedings be al- lowed to attempt to obstruct the war effort of Canada and escape consequences where another man would not? 2 Banning Things German. (Chicago Tribune) There is perhaps only one respect in which the elimination of things German may be of service. In so far as they tend to foster a senti- mental regard for the "fatherland," in so far as they tend to undermine our nationalism or our pride in it, to that degree they are vicious. Ex- cept for things which are clearly in this class we might better devote our efforts to the.destruction of the real ememy----mamely: the German military machine. U.. 8.

The Bells of Belgium. en thousand bells of Belgium rang their message o'er and o'er; Five hundred years they called prayer, now silent evermore. No more will Antwerp, Bruges, and Ghent awaken to their chines, For the bells, like men, have suffered from the Hun's unheard-of crimes. a Ten thousand bells of Belgium have been melted yp for guns; Not even altar vessels have been sac- red to the Huns, Their metal, mixed with base alloy, is shot at Belgian men, 1 With the Hun's cold sneer, "The Bel- gians shall have their bells again!" © captive bells of Belgium, it's not vour fault, we know, That you pierce the hearts and take the lives of those who lovey you so. At least you're buried with the slain, in the soil you love so well; Those saved, put back when war is done, will ring the Hun's death knell. Our silver, gold, and copper from America's far mines We gladly offer for new bells to voice, vour pillaged shrines When Belgium blocked the Hun ad- vance and said, "Halt! Here you stop!" You won our hearts' devotion to the last pulsating drop. v The plots of lying Huns shall not Walloon from Fleming cleave; Your hearts are knit so firm by«love the Hun cannot deceive. As metal of ten thousand bells to- gether now has run, So the fires of German baseness have fused all hearts as one. God bless the Huguenof and Catholic, and loyal Hebrew, too; Albert, Cardinal Mercier, bow our hearts to you! We join with Caesar-- 'Belgians are the bravest of the brave'; You gave your all for Freedom, the whole wide world to save. King we The children in all schools have learned, and e'tn the young- est knows, every Belgian taced the Huns and stopped five million foes; Henceforth all lands and farthest isles, wherever mankind dwells, recall the fells of when they hear their church bells. James Henry Darlington, Bishop of Harrisburg, Penn. How Belgium, own will Little doubt remains that. Aus- tria is rapidly drifting towards re- volution as a sequel to the present state of hopeless moral deteriora- tion in the pelitical life of the mon- archy. Aviators have been ordered by the Yerman High Command to special- ize in bombing hospitals, according to a declaration made by a Gérman flyer shot down and captured by the Americans.
