Swiss Red Cross has affected the exchange up to date of 8,800 French and German soldiers who are incapaâ€" citated for further service. This movement has been temporarily stopâ€" ped owing to difficulties raised by the German Government. German War Office has a regulaâ€" tion which provides for the detention of prisoners‘ letters for a period of ten days. This accounts for some of the complaints of nonâ€"delivery which have been made. Scottish women have given an Xâ€" ray motor ambulance for use in conâ€" nection with Red Cross work in France.

A new sleeve of lace covers only the top portion of the arm and is attached to the gown itself instead of finishing its usual purpose of clothing the huâ€" man arm.

It is a remarkable fact that no great discovery ever emanated exâ€" clusively from a single brain. Edison, Bell and Marconi, to mention but a few, only managed to come under the victor‘s tape, as it were, by a head, and often only by a hair‘s breadth, before others. The dirigible balloon had an excluâ€" sive field for the war before, but humanity was not satisfied with balâ€" loons, but wanted a flying machine in the true senseâ€"a birdman.

We are sorry to see, in this mornâ€" ing‘s despatches, that the Wright Bros. aeroplane factory at Dayton is about to pass over to a soulless corâ€" poration, who will doubtless use the invention for moneyâ€"making purposes only. Before this invention, a few had ascended to dizzy heights in the old style gas balloon. Then came the dirigible, with its steering apparatus, whereby control over direction of the airship could be effected; and lastly, the heavierâ€"thanâ€"air craft was inventâ€" ed by the Wright Bros., of Dayton, Ohio, which revolutionized air navigaâ€" tion completely. The time, we hope, will soon come when the great war will be a reminisâ€" cence, and humanity will turn to the pursuits of peace and happy contentâ€" ment, and the busy world will move on as though nothing so terribly wicked and cruel as war had ever happened. A distinguished part in the great conflict has undoubtedly been played by the ubiquitous, and almost omniâ€" present, aeroplane, of the heavierâ€" thanâ€"air variety. In a sense it is stimulating and glorious to live in these troublous times, and to witness the wonderful achievements of science and invenâ€" tion, though at present employed mainly in destructive efforts. THE AEROPLANE AND ITS PART IN THE PRESENT WAR. By Chas. M. Bice, Denver, Colo. "The secend happy point of agreeâ€" ment between the Kaisor and me showed itself when we talked about the meaning of the war.

We are | not all good, but we have the will to ‘ be good, and those who are sincere| are permitted by God to succeed. These were the main ideas about the meaning of the war. An inner fire| illuminated the conversation and it was as if outside the garden fresh | children‘s voiges were singing, ‘Oh,: Germany, high in honor, thou sacred land of loy‘\tty!'” l "Nobody will suppose that the opinâ€" ions of the Kaiser agree in all points with those of a man of the Left, but in two cases there was perfect accord between us. The first was when the conversation turned upon the French, Here the Kaiser‘s sorrow was my sorrow. The Kaiser speaks quite pure French and had hoped, like all of us, and especially us people from Baden, that with France first of all an agreeâ€" ment would be possible. We had grievously overestimated the Gallic nation as well as all other nations. The French are a people passing through their decadence. Their conâ€" duct of war is full of the most grievâ€" ous horrors, full of such terrible things that only a private book of the war will ever be able to record them. "For half an hour the Kaiserâ€"with reluctance, but carried away by the horror of it allâ€"narrated to me sworn facts about the behavior of French doctors, not only toward the enemy, but toward their own purpose, France is a doomed country. The tears which more than once came into the Kaiser‘s eyes as he told the tale were often tears of shame at such degradation in a people that had been thought to be still chivalrous and noâ€" ble. Kaiser Said He Had Overestimated Gallic Chrivalry. Herr Anton Fendrich, well known among German Socialists, describes in an article published in the Frankâ€" furter Zcitung a conversation which he had with the Kaiser in the field. The main point revealed by Herr Fenâ€" drich is the declaration that the Kaiâ€" ser is certain that France is doomed. The writer in this connection says: Gave him the testimonyâ€"A part of the law of Moses (see Exod. 16. 34; 25. 16, 21). This was in token of his authority (see Deut. 17. 18, 19). 12.

Supernatural religion is as that house built on the rock. It rests upon a few basic truths that are well estabâ€" lished, and come within the scope of human reason. It is particularly imâ€" portant to realize this, that these fundamental truths are knowable by reason unaided, though they are conâ€" firmed by Revelation.
