Back of these considerations is the German viewpoint concerning "Naâ€" She also claims that the British Admiralty has offered inducements to merchant vessels to ram submarines, and that this fact exempts such vesâ€" sels from the operations of interâ€" national law, and while she asserts her humanitarian impulses, she inâ€" sists that these must not interfere with her obligations to her own citiâ€" zens. It is on these grounds she justifies the destruction of the Lusiâ€" tania, and refrains from giving America the assurance it has demandâ€" ed that submarine warfare shall conâ€" form to the rules of naval warfare. _ Germany claims that she was forced into this war, and is facing emâ€" battled Europe in defense of her very existence. That foodstuffs are exâ€" empt from the rule of contrabrand, and that her submarine warfare was made necessary by Great Britain‘s announcement to cut off all imports of food and other essentials to her exâ€" istence, and that, faced by starvation, she had no other recourse than to strike back by the submarine, the only means at her disposal. She claims that the submarine cannot operate under the recognized rules of naval warfare, requiring visit â€" and search and provision for the safety of neutrals and nonâ€"combatants, and this being so, these rules should bel waived. There are two supreme consideraâ€" tions by which the U.S. must be guided in the course she adopts: First, her own rights and the rights of her citizens; and second, her moral obligations to those humanitarian ideals which she has always proâ€" fessed. The negotiations between Germany and America have proceeded several months, and the two nations now seem to be as far apart as when they beâ€" gan, so far as settling the rights of neutrals and nonâ€"combatants on the high seas is concerned. Germany, while not denying these rights under _ international â€" law, claims that Great Britain‘s attitude in shutting off the importation of all food stuffs, etc., justifiese her subâ€" marine warfare as the only means she has of proper retaliation for this deprivation. America, basing her claims upon the law of nations, recognized the world over since civilization began, demands that the rights of neutrals and of nonâ€"combatants be respected on the open sea by all belligerents. Ever since the mapping out by Germany of the soâ€"called "war zone," which includes a large strip of neuâ€" tral waters of the ocean over which she has no rights of exclusion, whatâ€" ever, this country and Germany have been in controversy, accentuated at times by sinking the ships of neutral nations, and finally by the sinking of the great British liner the Lusitania and the loss of many lives, including 115 Americans, under cireumstances of wicked, wanton cruelty. The recent reply of Germany‘s minister to Pres. Wilson‘s last note is far from assuring, and may be sumâ€" med up as raising the wrath of Americans still higher at the Kaiser‘s impudent and evading special pleadâ€" Ing. The creation of the "inventions board" is another evidence that Great Britain finally realizes the difficulty and importance of the struggle and is resolved to use every element of naâ€" tional strength in the effort to give the war an issue fortunate for the British arms and the British Emâ€" pire. Will It Lead to War? Many people in this country think the last word has been said, and that w@ar is inevitable. With this evidence that the nation recognizes the importance of science as an aid in the great struggle Britâ€" ish scientists and inventors, whether on the board of inventions or not, will naturally be put upon their mettle, The outstanding problems, whether they concern naval matters or army matters, will at once be given a careâ€" ful study. And it will be strange inâ€" deed if the concentration of so many able minds on these various subjects fails to produce important results. Word comes from London that an "inventions _ board," composed of British scientists, has been formed to assist the government in relation to naval requirements and that Lord Fisher, who recently resigned as first sea lord, will be at its head. The idea is to bring to the support of Britâ€" ish arms the scientific imagination and inventiveness which Germany has been utilizing from the outset. But the Times touches the quick. There is no wealth worth while unless there is character back of it. Our criminals, our wayward boys and girls, our mollycoddles should have been saved in the nurseries.

This information contains the possiâ€" bilities of much further discussion. It will be news to the eaters of factory made pies and even to housekeepers who are makirig their own cherry pies during this cherry season, that the cherries should always be used with their pits. Also the writers of books of deportment must record the fact that in the case of the cherry pie the fork must give place to the spoon. But the most important fact is that no matter how a cherry pie is eaten it is the best pie that is made. | _ All this is forcibly set forth in the President‘s communications in the face of Germany‘s plea of peculiar | exigency. In other words, we refuse | to subscribe to the doctrine that the ‘rights of humanity are subordinate to | the necessities of warfare. Germany‘s | blockaded situation is one of the inâ€" | cidents of war due to an advantage the allies hold in position and naval | strength and for which the U.S. is in no way responsible. "Dr. Mitchell applauded enthusiastiâ€" cally." Naturally the assembled medical men wanted to find out how a cherry pie should be eaten for the test was one that any of them might be obliged to face at any time. "‘He gave me a piece of cherry pie to eat and watched me while I ate it.‘ "Once more Dr. Mitchell nodded. "‘And,‘ continued Dr. Osler, ‘I ate it to his entire satisfaction.‘ "All we could learn," said Dr. Macâ€" Callum, "was that he ate it with a spoon and that he rejected the pits." "At a medical banquet which I once attended our great Dr. Osler, of Oxford, stated that Dr. Weir Mitchell, of Philadelphia, had once put his culâ€" ture to the final test. Dr. Mitchell, who was present, nodded gravely. An article published some days ago in which I mentioned the fact that the cherry pie was at one time considered the supreme test of a housewife, or rather, the test by which it might be discovered whether a girl was comâ€" petent to be a housewife, has brought me a good story from Dr. Hugh Macâ€" Callum, of London. According to him the cherry pie plays a much wider part than I suggested in the life of the New England States. He says: \ _ From this we can understand how ‘the German mind, holding this viewâ€" | point, may regard laws for the proâ€" itection of neutrals and nonâ€"combatâ€" ants as less important than freedom to use any weapon that may be efâ€" fective in extending the sphere of | German "Will to power." Of course, America will not recogâ€" nize any abridgment of the rights of her citizens, simply because of an arâ€" bitrary mapping out of a war zone. The physical limitations of the subâ€" marines do not exempt from conformâ€" ing with the rules of visit, search and provision for safety of neutrals and nonâ€"combatants before taking the exâ€" treme measure of sinking the ship inâ€" volved. There you have it; and when it is remembered that Nietzsche‘s writings also have taken great hold on German thought, in which he expresses his ideal as "a war against modern civilâ€" ization in all its forms," and who preached the gospel of aristrcratism, of hatred instead of love, of immora!â€" ism stead of morality, we car appreâ€" ciate the German viewâ€"point, and the incentive of her every action. The end justifies the means, if that end means the glory and supremacy of German Kultur. With Nietsche, the German citizen contemplates a new world, a new humanityâ€"a regeneratâ€" ed, purified and beautified "over man." Nietzsche‘s "Der Wille zur Macht," or, will to power, contains the entire philosophy of the average German in a nutâ€"shell. gress. Lastly, we must recognize that the struggle for high ideals, that the desire for action, in short, war itself, is an instrument of cultural progress." of its achievement, as set forth boldly in von Bernhardi‘s great book, which Denver, July 12, 1915.

In this final stage the pulse and breathing are very rapid and irregular, and convulsions lmay be continuous. Most of the paâ€" tierts die in astate of deep unconâ€" l sciousness. Tuberculous meningitis must be considered as an almost universally fatal disease, and since that is the case, parents cannot give too much care to children who are suspected of having a tuberculous constitution. It sometimes follows in the train of the infectious diseases, especially whoopâ€" ing cough and measles. Sometimes it is caused by unskillful interference with tuberculous joints or glands in the effort to heal them.

A year ago the detention of a dozâ€" en Canadians in a peon camp in Mexiâ€" co would have set Canada in a blaze of indignation. in spite of the many claims on the publics‘ purse it is to be hoped, however, that the thousands of Canadians now languishing in Gerâ€" many, will not be forgotten. 7 The Canadian Red Cross has a speâ€" cial department in London, which has been sending 300 parcels a week to prisoners‘ camps. "‘This amount is, of course, insufficient, but it can only be increased by an increase in public subscription. The concern of the Red Cross is, however, primarily with the wounded. It is only the overflow of its treasury that is can devote to prisoners of war.

"When I asked how they were treated," says this correspondent, "I received conflicting answers. _ One general conclusion, I drew, however, namely, that many are without friends to send them gifts of food, clothing and other necessities.

The lot of the prisoner is something like that of a Mexican peon or a Virâ€" ginia slave in the old slavery days. He has a sort of communal life. He is not confined to a cell, but his freeâ€" dom of movement is restricted to a camp compound. Camps and hospitals for prisoners of war are prominent features of Gerâ€" many toâ€"day.

TORONTO Some of these men hesitate to go in the ranks, merely because they are uncertain of finding the congenial companionship of men of similar training and tastes. There are many men in Canada who are anxious to go and play their part in the Great War, who are willâ€" ing to go as officers, but from want of adequate military training, or for other reasons, are unable to obtain commissions. There are other men who would prefer to join the ranks simply because they realize the enormous responsibility of the wastâ€" age of life which results from the bad leadership of an improperly trained officer. â€" THIRD UNIVERSITIES‘ COMPANY 13.

"He gave her this, not because she had desired | it, but because he had desired it; not ‘ for her heart‘s seeking, but out of‘ his heart‘s wishing to bestow." This: was the "royal bounty," "the added : gift," "the best of all; that upon: which she would think with greatest . pleasure, and of which she would| speak with the greatest pride" (Alexâ€" ander McKenzie, The Opéen Door, page 39f). ) 10.

She could think of him only as a tribal God, the God of Solomon and his people. But she is unstinted in her praise of this "heathen" God.

The newspapers and _ publicity agents, by their voluntary aid freely given, have shown themselves to be the most efficient means of furnishing recruits, but we ask every reader to help the men to join the Company they are looking for, and the Company to find the men required. The general principle is followed of giving commissions to well qualified men from the University or from the district which furnishes the recruits. The West has certainly been a great recruiting ground for the Universiâ€" ties‘ Companies, and the men have proved themselves good soldiers, well disciplined and efficient, with fine physique. It is hoped that the Mariâ€" time Provinces will rival the West in furnishing recruits. Indeed, in the Second Company, men doubtless Canâ€" adians, came to join from Oklahoma, Arizona and Missouri. A recruit can be examined medicalâ€" ly and attested in his own district, and transportation will be provided to Montreal. All information can be obtained from Captain A. S. Eve, 382 Sherâ€" brooke Street West, Montreal, the headquarters of the successive comâ€" panies. The Third Universities‘ Company (and note that the plural is deliberâ€" ate) is recruiting with fair rapidity and there is every hope that it will reach the high mark of success attained by the first two companies. There is certainly no difficulty in obtaining officers, but it is harder to find picked men for Sergeantâ€"Major, Company Quarbermuter-Sergeant, Platoon Sergeants and Section Leadâ€" ers, on whom largely rests the sucâ€" cess of the Company. Indeed, Canada needs chiefly a training school for nonâ€"commissioned officers. The First University Company, unâ€" der the command of an excellent leadâ€" er, Captain Gregor Barclay, has been for some time in England. â€" An eminâ€" ent military authority has declared this to be the finest company which has ever sailed from Canada. The Second University Company was composed of men of a splendid type and was embarked recently at Montreal. It must be clearly understood that they are not all University men, for there are bank clerks, lawyers, archiâ€" tects, engineers, ranchers and others, and it has been found that such men pull well together and enjoy military life to the full. If the existence of such a force was known throughout the length and breadth of Canada, there would be no difficulty in recruitâ€" ing a full company within a week. These companies are composed of men from the Universities of Canâ€" ada, the friends of such men, and broadly speaking, from men of that The Universities of Canada are working loyally together to raise comâ€" pany after company, and to send them overseas to reinforce as units that famous regiment, the Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry.

I Sammy and Polly were travelling with their parents, and they had stopâ€" ped for the night near an Indian reâ€" servation. In the morning the chilâ€" dren heard a drum beating in the Indian village near by, and they were very curious to go over to the tents and see how the Indians lived. "Come, Polly, let‘s &0 and find the music,"‘ Sammy said to his little sisâ€" ter. He took her by the hand, and they hurried over to the nearest group of tents. The grove that sheltered the tiny Indian village was only two minutes‘ walk from the hotel, but Sammy hurâ€" ried along so fast that Polly nearly fell down in the dusty road. At the entrance to the first tent, which looked to the children like a little playhouse, there stood a beautiâ€" ful Indian child, who wore long leaâ€" ther leggings and an embroidered leather shirt. At first Sammy thought that the child was a boy; but when she smiled, and said in a sweet, high voice, "How do!" he realized that the dark little Indian was a girl of about his own age. She came close to him and touched his light curly hair. T Sammy said, "My name is Sammy Tufts. I have brought you some apâ€" ples.
