AN INSPIRING WAR. Stephen Lauzanne, Editor-in-chief ef the famous Paris Matin, a visitor | in the United States as a member of the French High Commission to this country, jnvites America te that high mountain top from which she can envisage, without distortion of vision, the meaning of the catyclism which is now drenching the world with blood. After recounting, in an address before an Association of Commerce, the deportation and enslavement of French women and children, th?

The letter reads: fighting shoulder to shoulder the other great democracies should, after the war, turn. its resources against them for trade conquests o the very kind which were largely instrumental in bringing on the war. If our ships do not bring prosperity to our neihbors as well as to our- selves, our own pride in the achieve- ment will be diminished. Our ships will be operated after the war upon principles which recognize human and natural rights and equities. This is part of the consistent policy of Presi- dent Wilson. It is made plain in his public statements. It is also plain in the history of the United States, which is free from selfish aggression toward either territory or trade. In building her merchant fleet America plans, first of all, to win the war, and after that to overcome her own neglect in providing ocean transport for her own trade. "To this end the 'people of the U. S. are preparing to develop transpor- tation on their own trade routes, without disturbing the trade or rights of other nations. And they, further- more, hope that the American mer- chant marine will play a large part in bringing the neighboring democra- cies of the American hemisphere closer together. Suggestions 'of sel- sh motives will, of course, be cir- culated in connection with the fleet we are building. Every nation lined up against autocracy can be depended upon"to detect the course of such sug- gestions, discount them, and main- tain a solid line for democracy and humanity until the end. * s e s This sounds like a new Internation- alism. It is a rare kind of altruism coming from a nation that was sup- posed to have no other end in view than worship of the dollar.

For that we shall fight to the end." s . * . To inspired words like these, no- thing can be added. They thrill like a bugle call. They express exactly that France which, as a nation, floats to-day before the eyes of the world like a disembodied spirit from which nll weak and shrinking flesh has been burned away.

The decrease in the number of ships sunk by submarines is partly attribut- ed, in certain quarters, to the discoy- ery of a German map. In appearance the map resembles the key-maps of the British Isles, which indicate, by numbered squares the numbers of the various sections in the series, only in the German map the land is not num- bered, but the sea is. Off Norfolk, for instance, the "sea- square" is 432. By utilizing this guide in connection with a secret "First quality packing-case, Series 4, No. 432," would be interpreted as "Bri- tish armored cruiser, four smoke- stacks, in square 432'--otherwise, off- the north-east coast of Norfolk.

Perhaps he went over to spend the night with Mr. Duncan's flock of turkeys." But the next morning, when Tom and Mary called at their neighbor's house on their way to school, } Duncan said that Old Red Wattles was not with his flock. When they came home from school the turkeys were reosting on the fence near the barn, waiting for their supper. One, two, three, four, five, was Willing to take more interest in the mitsing turkey.

"Where could that corn go? shut up and the turkeys were shut up all night, and all the wild birds went South long ago." It was a little thing, but Tom thought about it a great deal, al- though he did not mention it to his parents or to Mary.

Sure ehough, when he hurried out the next secning the little pile of corn sappeared.

He tried to solve the mystery by watching until late in the evening and by getting up early in the morning, but either he did not stay up late enough or he did not get up early enough; and his father would not let him sit up and watch all night, as he wanted to do. On Monday of the second week came Thanksgiving Day. Late in the Mr. | afternoon Tom and Mary went out to feed the turkeys as usual. The Gray family had feasted on chicken pie, and so the little flock of turkeys had not decreased in number. "Look! Look!" cried Mary, "Old Red Wattles is back with the others.
