Americans ar arr.sd that America
la engaged In a righteous war to crush
German militarism, and ther. Is no
debate about lt-
But the whys and wherefores of the
conflict, so far as speakers, writers
and thinking people ar. ooncerned,
want to visualise th. present Interna
tional situation, and hsrs Is a little
book that will help them. It is edited
by Mr. Hurt for the commute on Pa
triotism Through Education of the Na
tional Security League, and has a
preface by James M. Beck, the dis
tinguished American authority on In
ternational law. We are made ac
quainted with books that discuss both
sides of tba war. from viewpoints of
both alliss and pro-Tsulon, and then
follow articles written by specialists on
quite a variety of subjects.
The book will go far to counteract
the campaign of untruths publlahsd by

they went over the situation carefully.
and reached the conclusion that the
time was ripe for the work of enlarge
ment. Th present edifice has been
completely outgrown because of the
rapid growth of the parish.
When the vicar, the Rev. T. V. Bowen.
took charge six years ago, the church
was struggling for existence, but since
that time the communicant list has
been increased to 200. St. Michael's has
strong vestry, three branches of the
woman s auxiliary, a large and effi
cient guild, and a constantly growing
Sunday school. The vicar presented
a class of 12 candidates for confirma
tion not long ago.
Three pledges of 1500 each were
made at a meeting of the vestry and
additional pledges amounting to $350.
The campaign for funds will be care
fully organized, and it is expected that
work will begin In about three months.

CAPTAIN SEEKS TO RETIRE
Head of Detective Bureau :Wins
Commendation for Work.
NEW YORK, March 6. A suspicion
of tears was in the eye of more than
one policeman recently when Acting
Captain William J. Deevy called to his
office the 50 men of the First Branch
Detective Bureau, of which he has been
in charg-e since its organization, and
told them he had applied to be retired.
Captain Deevy has been on the force
31 years and is 56 years old. There is
no doubt that his retirement will be
granted.
In 1903 Captain Deevy got wide pub
licity for his arrest of Oscar Miller,
known as the "lone burglar," who for
months had baffled the police with rob
beries in fashionable districts. Since
then he has made or directed many im
portant arrests. He was several times
complimented by Commissioner Woods
for his good work. i

BY EDITH E. LANYON.
OMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Feb.
-Rationing is now ln full swing
d. like th. camel In Aesop's
Fables, we ar. getting quit, used to
living on on. strsw a day. .
Some authorities .van assert that we
are the better for It, We do certainly
continue to snatch eagerly at th. straw.
On Saturday w. made a mighty haul of
half a pound of butter and now rank
aa aristocrats amongst our friends who
only secured margarine.
Seeing butter again Is Just Ilk. meet
ing a long-lost .friend I do not wish
to "swank," so feel compelled to admit
that I have heard of someone who owns
a whole pound of butterl That, of
course. Is abnormal. There Is a great
controversy going on ln th. newspapers
aa to whether "margarine" should be
pronounced with a hard or a aoft "g."
Hard or soft. It Is certainly "harder
where there's none," as my old nurse
was fond of saying. We are allowed
a ration of four ounces of butter or
margarine a week. To make It appear
more we frantically whip it up with a.
raw etro- and half a teacup full of milk
or else add a little cornstarch cooked in
a small quantity of milk.
W served the latter camouflage on
hot potato cakes th other day. The
margarine portion promptly melted it
self inside and left the cornstarch
blanc-mange portion all high and dry
on the top, which amused our guests
vastly.
We bad a present of a pot of Jam the
other day. We ate the Jam and then
economically nsed th piece of mutton
fat off tbe top to fry some fish in.
Necessity certainly is the mother of
Invention and there Is a romance about
cooking which there never waa in th
days of plenty.
Th. food controller has recently Is
sued a proclamation that eggs may
only be used for human food. I think
there should be an age limit, then there
would still b a few available for elec
tion purposes or for conscientious ob
jectors. Everybody owns a sugar card. They
do ssy that ths up-to-date baby is born
with one In Its band Instead of with a
silver spoon ln its mouth.
Soldiers on leav ar. provided with
them, befor. they atart for "Blighty"
and when a person dies his sugar card
hss to be given up before a death cer
tificate Is Issued.
Here one's ration of bacon Is three
ounces per week (when one can get It).
It looks such a small parcel that If
one ts not at horn It can easily be de-
l.vered by putting through th. key
hole. I had a most astonishing dream about
bacon th. other night: I was at a
shop buying my allotment for th. week.
The man gav. me the tiny parcel and
leaned over the counter confidentially
and said: "Here It Is, madam. You may
look at It on Monday and Tuesday,
smell it on Wednesday, eat It on
Thursday and think about It on Friday
and Saturday." '
For some unknown reason ther. was
no Sunday in that dream. My cousin
dreamed th. other night that she was
eating brownbread and butter, thickly
spread with butter. She told us what
a delicious dream it was at breakfast
time. That very day we got our butter!
So there is something in dreams after
all. Dreams are not always caused by
overeating oneself at supper time
either. Food is a very leveling tODic
hav. to be polished every day.. I was
very much touched and even em
barrassed one day when somebody
begged one of ray buttons. I was em
barrassed chiefly because I had no re
serves, so had to refuse the souvenir.
Talking of uniforms, I have heard that
our air men are to sport sky-blue ones
before long. Won't they look heavenly
Perhaps their pet name of "Air Devils'
will be laid aside then.
My friend and patient, the leading
torpedo.-man-elect, has Just left Eng
land to Join a monitor ln unknown
parts. He seems delighted at the pros
pect, although I believe life on a mon
itor is by no means a life of ease and
comfort. A monitor, according to what
my sailors have told me, is a sort o
sea-going gun platform which goes
wobbling along the top of the wate
like a queer disc. She has breadth
and everybody Joyfully swaps cookery. hut no aePlh. na f18 men's quarters
recipes, tven air. ponting, of the Scott
bouth Pole expedition, has written to
the papers recommencing whale and
seal meat. He ended up feelingly;
"Whale steak is excellent, I wish I
had a piece now!" Lp to now food
rationing has amused more than it has
alarmed people.
We have not even time to talk about
tne weather. If our mouths are not
full of food they are at least always
well filled with words on the food
topic
Even King George has to hav. his
ration card and precisely the same al
lowance of food as anybody else.
Candy is getting less and less In
quantity and lesser and lesser ln qua!
Ity. It does not even taste sweet. We
shall have to eat sugar with it soon.
Sometimes one dreams of magnificent
boxes of chocolates. My usual luck is
to wake up before I have even bitten
into one.
Second only to th. art of camouflag
ing one s food Is the art of camouflag
lng one's clothes. My "civvies" sre still
of the vintage of 1914, slightly re-
chauffes. Even my uniform is getting
uncommonly shabby with long service.
Navy blue has an unfortunate way of
getting white at the seams. My but
tonholes have already been reworked
once. I wear the official Red Cross
motor cap with a patent leather band
and a Red Cross badge ln th. front.
Instead of a bat. It is most sensible
and serviceable and also most unbe
coming to any but a pretty flapper.
I do sometimes feel that a real Paris
bat would do me a world of good.

not brass ones. My shoulder badges1
are so rough and unready that they
draw extra pay known as "hard-lying
money." The seas often wash over her
completely and the men on board sal
dom have on a dry thread. The meals
are usually served with an unwelcome
sauce of salt water. These monitors
are useful, if far from comfortable, and
have caused even more discomfort to
the Germans than to their own crews.
The Big Soldier is also in unknown
parts, so he and the sailor may meet.
We have two soldier patients in the
Infantry and I gladdened their hearts
this morning with a few comforts from
San Francisco.
One of them, who came in two days
ago with a fractured hip, told me this
morning that he felt well enough po
get up and go for a route marcn, so
he is cheerful to say the least of it.
There Is also a little more comfort
money in reserve from Portland.
I have heard such a lot of complimen
tary remarks about the American sol
dier boys lately. One man was very
enthusiastic about the sample he had
seen. "My word, they ARE fine fel
lows, hs said.
'I told you so," said I. The Ameri
can gunners at the front have done
good work. All the soldiers agree that
th. equipment of the- United States
Army Is splendid.
Today has been the day of minor
operations at the hopsital. A day of
much hustle Yor the theater "pro." I
was theater "pro" today. It Is known
affectionately as "Field Day" and is
either loathed or welcomed by the
nurses, according to temperament.
I must say I rather Ilk. it myself.
I felt puffed up with pride this morn
ing because some waiting patients ad
dressed me by mistake as "Matron!"
In order to live up to their opinion of
me and to the position I had uninten
tionally usurped, 1 took ln a message
from them to the house surgeon whilst
he was ln th. middle of an operation.
