ginger ale. • This should not stand

lose its sparkle. A rather strong and
not too sweet ginger ale should be
used for this punch.

Drinks for Hot Weather,
The first warm days are apt to
bring with them a loss of appetite
and an increase of thirst. So cool
drinks served with luncheon, or in
place of afternoon tea, are very ac-
ceptable.
However, it is often difficult to
think of a variety of soft drinks, and
one is apt to fall back .an the old
standbys—cold tea and lemonade.
Here are a few suggestions to kelp
out the housekeeper.
• .Grape juice is an excellent founda-
tion for a variety of delicious drinks
and has the advantage of being
healthful. It is much more econo-
maeal to put up your own grape juice
each year, but if' you have not done
this a as of small bottles does trot
come high.

In practice summer pruning on a
considerable scale is not advisable.
It is difficult to see, when the leaves
are on, just which branches should be
removed, except. in the case of dead
branches. One must be on his guard,
also, to avoid peeling off the bark
when it peels readily. Prunning is
lese expeditiously done in' summer
than when the trees are.dormant.
There are occasions, however, when
one desires to complete work of
pruning begun early in the season.
There need be no fear of inpuring the
trees by talcing off a moderate num-
ber of branches when the leaves are
on, in spite of the fact that the re-
moval of leaves debilitates a tree. If
done early in the summer the injury'
is less than after the summer growth
is nearly completed,
The removal of dead branches can
not affect the vitality of the tree, no
matter when done. Nor can there be
any serious effeet if here and there
branches, which are too close or which
cross, are removed. The thinning out
of small, twiggy branches for the
purpose of thinning' the fruit is not a
harmful process in early summer.
The drain on the tree is less than it
would be to bear an abnormally heavy
crop of fruit. There are a great
many trees which might be relieved
of a surplus of fruit during May and
early June to good advantage.

day last February I counted no less
than fifteen. batteries of 4.7 field glans
in firing practice on Woolwich Com-
mon, up on the hill overlooking the
Arsenal. Of course actual firing was
not being done here, as Woolwich is a
densely crowded borough pf London.
But the men were going through all
the necessary movements of firing.

The. Round Table, a quarterly re-
view -of the polities of, the "British Em-
pire, takes some long views of the
great crisis which is • upon us to -day.
It gives an admirable .survey of
the inunediate problems of men, mu-
nitions' and money, and also of those
ultimate problems which must be set-
tled if we want to put down the foun-
dation of a permanent.peace.
The weight of the burden we must
bear if we would attain to victory is
thus stated by the nomad Table:—
"It is sometimes difficult to realize
that after ten months we are only
now at the turningpoint of the war.
Theallies in many a desperate battle
have, managed to resist the attacks:
of the German and Austro-Hungarian
armies. But if the war is not to end
in a German victory they have still: to
--
drive them back into their own terri-
tory, and force them to accept terms
of peace which involve the admission
of decisive defeat. The extent of the
effort, which is stillrequired it is clif-
ficult to gauge, but it is necessarily
immense.
"It is . no use deluding ourselves
with pleasant expectations about Ger-
man exhaustion or collapse. There is
no real sign of it yet. On the con-
trary, they are confident that we can. -
not do what we have set out to do,to
clear their armies out of Belgium and
France, and hurl them, back to the
Rhine:
Policy. of Attrition.
And though we may drive them,
back here and there for a mile or
two, or even for many miles`, we shall
not win the war till we are finally es-
tablished on German soil. That is
the solid fact we have to face. What
does it nrean
"It: means this: In'the first place,.
that the end of the war will not come
until the German armies are so. re-
duced in numbers by constant fight-
ing that there are no longer-.. enough
unwounded adult male Germans to
man the lines -which protect their ter-
ritory from invasion. Modern wars,
jike most of the :grea-test wars of the
past, are . wars • of attrition and ex
haustion, not wars in which strategy
is decisive. That side wins which can
bring into ,the field' the last half mil-
lion men, . armed, trained and .equip-
ped. In the second place it means
that the allies have, got to face losses•
not far short of those of the Germans
if they mean to win, and still have a
superierity at the end,.
"But the policy of attrition in war
costs not very far short of man for.

to Ida or disable another 2,000,000.
Germans before the road to Germany
itself is clear,; it means that not very
far short of that number of English,
French and Russians must be killed
or disabled too. That: is the conclu-
sion. It is ghastly, but it is at least
decisive. It shows: us the measure
of the effort which is still before us,
"We have t6`' face it, and thesooner
we face it the quicker it willbe done
and the smaller will be the cost. We
,cannot hesitate or turn. back. There
is tool much at stakes our own Liberty,

Our Larger Part.
Without in any way, under -estimat-
ing -the vital part which our •:sea'=pow-
er has played' and must continue to
play, we must realize that the bur-
den onland also will fall in ever;-

any rate in the west. •

;Their losses are infinitely greater ..
than ours. If the war is to .last. far •
auto the next year, as may well be
Necessary before the Germans are, de
