The losses aardly count In the great volume of ahlpplng we are using for war pur foees, and will soon be made' up by aew production. It Is too far from the German bases for anything more than sporadic, occasional attacks; and even those we can meet better hereafter. These facts were prob ably realized beforehand. But what the German government ' did not realize, and seems incapable ' -of ever realizing, Is that such moves always fall of their effect in enemy ' countries, because Germany's ene mies are not fools and cowards. The German people, no doubt, are vastly cheered by the news that their beloved U-boats have carried the war Into American waters.- They will be -persuaded, for a little while, that the movement of troops, food and war supplies to England and France has been stopped. They will hope ; once more to end the war before Am- ' arlcan help arrives, ' and dictate a .Prussian peace In Paris or London. ' But we know how It Is here. The ' rst shot from a U-boat on this side ef the water galvanized our whole . nation Into stiffened resistance and greater determination than ever to -see the war through at all costs.

A Very Live Tree, In a recent Ht, McIhiIun there is a picture of the buttered trunk of a tree, broken away In places, and In side It Is growing a young tree. The old tree was one of the glunt redwoods of California, and In spite of wind and fire It has made up Its mind to keep right on growing In the person of the young tree In the very spot where It has stood for years and years. During a terrible storm on the moun tain the top of the tree was broken off and afterward the trunk was. very nearly destroyed by a forest Are, but the ' root retained , vitality enough to send up a young tre. within the trunk, which protects It from the wind. The original tree was a splendid spe cimen, more than 11 feet In diameter I ", "iaii ii me an, nun ii j IMCMwr . wlll probably be of goodly ii nd towering high Into the air, and Its size when the . protecting old trunk falls away.
