that Great Britain might hold out a

"Farmers, in my belief, will prove, in
this crisis, not unworthy to be cown-
trymen of those who are heroically
defending British homes and hearts
on the fields of Flanders. They will
do their duty by working their utmost
—often under grave difficulties—to
maintain and, 1f possible, increase the
produce of their farms, not because
it is (as in fact it will be) profitable
to do so, but because it is the desire,
no less than the duty, of every Briton,
each in his own sphere, to do his part
to help his country in the time of
her direct need."

KNOTTY PROBLEMS
FOR ARMY SURGEONS
Difficulties of Treating Injuries Which
They Have Never Seen
Before
What do I think will be the crucial
problem for the military surgeon in
the present conflict?" asked a surgeon
with medical corps experience, in an-
swer to a question upon this point.
"You might just as well ask me what
the doctors would have to do. in a
city if a hundred or more armored
automobiles carrying machine guns
were turned loose in the streets at
a crowded hour: There would be
injuries of a well-nigh endless variety,
and the, task of the physician and
the surgeon would range the whole
gamut from the trifling to the hope-
less."

Jack's Food
Those not familiar with naval slang
would be mystified if they heard a
group of Tars discussing their daily
menu. "Lobscouse" is what Jack calls
his favorite dish of salt 'meat, bis-
cuits, potatoes, onions and spices. A
"piilau" consists of salt beef cooked
with fowl, rice and onions, whilst
"chowder" is a stew of codfish, rash-
ers of bacon, and biscuits. Pies are
always termed "deckers," and tinned
mutton bears the sobriquet of "Fanny
Adams."
Canteen delicacies have several
nicknames. Tinned sardines are
termed "Sharks," whilst "spotted
dog" is pressed beef.
The leavings of the meat ration are

Secreting Art Treasures
During the war of 1870, when the
German army drew near the French
capital, one of the first measures the
Parisians took was to place the art
treasures of the Louvre in safety, as
they did in the present war. The
paintings of Raphael, Titian, Paolo
Veronese, Rembrandt and Rubens
were carefully packed and shipped to
Brest. There they could, if necessary,
have been put on shipboard and taken
from the country.
It was not so easy to save the pieces
of marble -statuary, for their weight
and fragility made them difficult to
handle; but the French determined
that the famous Venus of Milo, at
least, should not fall into the hands
of the Prussians, So they took hem

HOMESICK WARRIORS
Scientists Recognize as Real Malady
the Yearning For Native Land
Homesickness, or nostalgia, as the
doctors term it, has long been recog-
nized as a military disease, which is
especially liable• to attach recruits and
even seasoned soldiers, if they serve
for long priods in foreign climes. A
b'rench scientist has published a book
on the malady. He says, ''The symp-
toms of homesickness are great mental
dejection, loss of appetite, indiffer-
ence to what is going on around, and
irregular action of the digestive or -
genie"
The bad effects of homesickness in
an army were first noted among Swiss
soldiers, The men were forbidden to
singor listen to their native melodies
for fear .of rousing in them an over-
powering longing for their mountain
homes- A doctor writing at that
period cited many instances of the
serious results of sentimental music
on soldiers. campaigning far from
their own shores.
An English physician recently stated
that homesickness is a prevalent'
disease amongst prisoners of war,
who display such symptoms as hys-
terical weeping, fever, and a rapid
thinning of the face,
