Baby towers are maintained through-

These are some of the reasone why
China needs thousands of trained
women, physicians and nurses, who
cannot only repair the damages done

also instruct the Chinese women in

Whitt German Autocracy Has Done
In France.
To stand at the beginning of a
read is always wonderful; for on all
roads before they end experiene'e
,,lies; sometimes adventure.
And, a trench, evenas a road, has
•its beginnings somewhere.. In the
heart of •a very strange country you
find them suddenly. A trench may
begin in the ruins of a house, may
-run op out of a ditcba may be cut
into a rise f ground sheltered under
a hill,..and s bunt in many ways by
many men.
, As to who is thebest builder of
trenches there can be little doubt,
and any British soldier would prob-
ably admit that for painstaking work
and excellence of construction, there
are few to rival Von Hindenburg.
His Hindenburg line is a model of
neatness and comfort, and it would
be only a very ungrateful British
soldier wrio would deny it. German
dugouts, in particular, hare been a
great comfert to our men since July,
1916..

An Employment ystem.
We should have a national system
of employment offices, with branches
in every locality, and a central clear-
ing -house. Within this national Sys-
tem should be mines or districts,
with clearing -houses for each dis-
trict, and within the districts should
be sub -districts with their,own clear-
ing -houses. If a local office in a sub-
district could not fill an order, it
woeld telephone the order to its
clearing -house, which would seek to
obtain a man from some other local
office in the sub -district. If, the de:-
I:laud could not be filled_ in the sub-
district, it would be transferred by
the stib-district clearing -house to the
Ostrict clearing -house, which would
seek a man in the district. Similarly,
if the dietriet ea -0d not fin the order,
it would clear the demand through

habits, his Spartan way at life, is
partly responsible; but the fresh and
eager interest of his mind is more
powerful still. He has the' precious
faculty of Sarah Bernhardt and Na-

fatigue of any journey is relieved by
this recreative power, and even a
short motor ride affords a few mo-

Brand Whitlock says, 1114 Every-

has been familiar with in Belgium
simply appal the imagination. Those
who read his description of Louvaia's
fate will understand his point of
view.
".All over the city the soldiers be-
gan firing, wildly at the facades of
the closed houses.'the people ran to
their cellars terror. the soldiers
beat in the doors, turilad the people
ioto the street, shot them down, set
fire to the houses. There were rider,
less horses galloping about; a tined,
'a blind, demoniac rage seemed to
have laid hold on .the Germans, and
they went through the streets kill-
ing, slaying, burning and looting,
torturing and massacring, and for
three terrible days the vast and aw-
ful tragedy was enacted.
"The people were assembled in
tragic groups between the tottering
walls of burning houses; raarched
