"It's all right, boys; we haven't come for any of you tonight;” said Sheehan, and the reassuring words brought •t cold smile to some of the faces. There began then a whisper- ing conversation at the tai.eles, but all the eyes remained hard and watchful. Sheehan in a low tone eketched the different characters: --"That fellow with the fat face and hair :licked back is Heinle Schwartzfelder, known:. as 'Heinle the Dip'—just out of prison where he's done a five-year term for robbery.

Drain all boiled vegetables as soon as tender --they become soggy if they are allowed to stand undrained after cooking. The water drained off may be saved for soup stock. Most vegetables should be cooked in a small amount of water, because a part of the mineral salts dissolves out into the water, and is lost if the wa- ter is thrown away, Cook whole when l possible.

The necessity for conservation and substitution, for foods needed Over- seas, of products which are available in this country, but not suitable for export, will not be over when this year's harvest is gathered. The food resources of the world, except for those comparatively few countries which are practically inaccessible en- ine cold' ions are tler present sleep exhausted, and it is a prime military and economic necessity to build up and to maintain these resources. The food situation will not be safe at least un- til the 1919 crop situation is known. The people of Canada have already done splendidly, both as regards pro- duction and conservation, Their ef- forts must and will be continued, for they are a factor of great importance in feeding our soldiers and those of our Allies who are dependent upon us, ing round just the way she Ieft them —I didn't want to have 'em touched or put away; I felt somehow if any- thing nything happened to her I wouldn't want to have em moved, ever. But she's all right now, and I tell you the world seems a different place." Walking along the street, Maguire greeted nearly every one that he met. Jerry could not but he impressed by the pleased expression on the faces of those whom he thus recognized or by the democratic solutions of many obviously unimportant men and wo- men,—"Hello, Pat." There must be something genuine and meritorious about such a man. The next time that Jerry accom- panied Sheehan he was taken to see some of the homes of protected vice. Gambling -houses and brothels flourish-, ed behind as fair a front as that of any respectable dwelling. "Take note of em; write the num- bers in your little book," said Shee- hal, "It's a wise thing to know all the joints, even though you're not, given the power to go in and smash 'em."

New Zealand was the first of the Dominions to offer naval assistance' ' when war broke out in 101.1, A Maori war-cry--"A-0-TEA-; ROA!" --was chosen as the motto of: the battle -cruiser New 'Zealand, which took part in the battles in the Heligo-' land Bight, at the Dogger Bunk, and , Jutland. Australia was first used as a naval base about 1840• Vice -Admiral, Sir George Tryson, whose name is associated with the , tragic collision in the Mediteranean' between the Camperdown and the Vic- toria was the first commander of the Royal Australasian Naval Squadron. This squadron was a portion of, the Imperial Fleet, and the different States contributed various sums to- ward its maintenance. At the commencement of the pres- ent ies ent century the contributions were as follows: Victoria, £57,883; New South Wales, £47,207; Queensland, £28,200; South Australia416,642; Tasmania, 0,065; West Australia, £4,620. New Zealand added an asnual con- tribution of £20,830. Tasmania, before coming into the! general scheme, made an effort to sup -i port a navy of her own. It consieted of one second-class torpedo-boat. • In 1909 Australia decided to have a war fleet of her own, and she set aside! £3,700,000 for this purpose. • Great Britain offered ner a quarter, of a million a year towards her ex 1 pensee, but she declined, preferring • to shoulder the whole burden herself.!

The British Columbia sealers were once suggested as the nucleus of a Canadian Naval Reserve Force. An unfortunate gift made in 1880 by Great Britain to Canada was the steam corvette Charybdis, for train- ing purposes. It was twenty-one years old the boilers cost Canaria £20,000 to repair, it broke from its morrings in St. John's Harbor, and was then returned to Great Britain with thanks.

The myraids a human poor in all countries, !the most wretched of therm oeminhled in large e . tiree of eoeulattme represent the wastage of past wars. 1t is a fruitful earth that a hcmefi• (emit Creator has„leen us to live upon. Su hountctill is its productive- ness that there rs no !rood reason why anybody should be poor, if willing to , work. There is plenty of food obtain- able, plenty of everything. There is such plenty that man is easily able -to produce meet) more than he can consume, and so to accumu- late, in one shape or another, a sur- plus which we call property. This accumulation, continued through ten of thousands of years, - ought by this time to have placed every human being in comfortable and safe circumstances, with nothing in the' future to worry about. Misery Follows Wale's Track But the accumulation has not been allowed to continue, It has been constantly interrupted by wear. To say that war has destroyed 90 per cent, of everything that mankind has been able in the course of ages to create and save would be to put the fact far too consevatively. War is the maker of poverty. It impoverishes nations as well ea, indi- victuals by a wholesale destruction of accumulated wealth. To represent the civilizations of the past we have --what? Ruins, with some remnants of their literature. The destruction recently accomplished by the Germans in northern Prance is merely a repetition of the sort of thing their ancestors did in Italy long ago. As they destroyed Rome, so will they with equal ruthlessness de- stroy Paris, if they ean. In the track of war spreads misery of all kinds. Deprived 'of their pro- •perty and reduced to want, whole pop- ulation., sink into wretchedness. The children are bereft of opportunity for education; they grow up physically err eerier for lack of enough and propel food; there is a general submergence • of multitudes. I Often, driver by sheer necessity, they emigrate --they themselves or their descendants—to other eountrieo, just as millions have come to America from Europe. But, whether they . stay or go, they are poor—the people who have nothing, the bodile inferior, the underfed, the slum dwellers, the wretched human wastage of past wars.
