Gentle southwest- erly winds, THE POSITIVE THOl'CHT "If we are to win the war," says Christian Girl, head of the govern Bent's motor trucks department, "we must avoid wasting energy to are a dime, because by doing so we will lose the opportunity to produce dollar. "to airect our energies in war time to self-denial, sarin? and Umplng Is to unfit the mind for greater effort. Would It not be bet tar to have the greater portion of this energy consumed in additional production for the purpose of win ning the war?" Mr. Girl Is not opposed, of course, to every form of saving and self-denial. It Is only against the over emphasis of this factor that he pro tests. He Is merely driving home the Importance of the "positive thought" as opposed to the negative, of now, constructive effort as opposed to stand-patlsm. It is a commonplace of present day thinking that all of us have greater power than we ordinarily inspect, and that the best way to get ahead Is to call them into creative action. Instead of saving more out of an old, stationary Income, the idea is to get busy and make the income larger. With more work done and more money earned, come bigger possibilities of saving. By making the most of our brains, souls and "bodies, we can make better pro gress with war or business or any thing else, and we can do It without really stinting ourselves. It's a philosophy worth preaching and practicing. THE KAISER'S DISADVANTAGE Hlndenburg's reckless extrava gance in human lives Is not without historic precedent. It Is typical of autocracy in any time. Wellington recognized It in the days of Napo leon's success. ' . ' ' Speaking of Napoleon, Wellington is reported to have said that the for mer had "one prodigious advantage he had no responsibility, he could do as he pleased. No man ever lost more armies than he did; I could not risk a man. I knew that it ever I lost 600 men without the clearest necessity, I should be brought npon my knees to the war of the house of commons." The Germans possess that dubious "advantage" today.
