Both German and Austro-Hungarian notes mention three of his messages, especially the four- teen points of Wilson's address to Con- gress, on January 8 last, These follow: (1) Open covenantsof peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be. no private international understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.

In that hour of anguish, every means to recovery is sought—the highest medical skill, grained nurses, costly treatment. Does the price matter. P It may be so great as to stagger the imagination --a sum beyond the possible. But does anyone ask, "Can we do it?" Money or no money, they do it. - And somehow they pay. It may mean doing without things they think they need. It may mean privations, sacrifices, hardships. They make unbeliev- able savings, they achieve the impossible, but they get the money to pay. To -day in this critical period of our nationhood, there is impera- tive need for MONEY: vast sums of money. Only one way now remains to obtain it. The nation must save,- every community, every family, every individual Canadian must save. If anyone says "I cannot save" let him consider to what extent he would pinch himself to relieve the sufferings of a loved one at home; and surely he would not pinch less for our fighting brothers it France. Without suffering actual priva= tions, nearly every family in Can- ada can reduce its standard of living, can practice reasonable thrift, can make cheerful sacrifice to enrich the life -blood of the nation.

IIIRIUTINO, ARE YOU?

Lynch, member of Par- - liament. Campbell was the chief lieutenant of Sir Edward Carson in the Ulster campaign, and perhaps his closest personal friend. Ho was the lebal adviser to the illegal Pro-! visional Government set up in Ulster • to defeat Home Rule, Hie appoint meats successively to the great offices of -Attorney-General, Lord Chief Tus- tice, and Lord Chancellor are regard- ed by the Nationalists as unquestion- able evidence of their enemies being stalled in power by the War Cabinet, He bas new surprised both politi— cal friends and foes by a line Home . Rule speech, Those who know him personally, and he has many per- . sonal friends among the political opponents, are aware haw greatly the war, and especially the death in it of his heroic son, have altered his out, look. He is one of the ablest living Irishmen. His legal experience at the bar, at which he Is the foremost ad- vocate of his time, as well as his wide knowledge of general, affairs, render him invaluable to the new constitut- ed Welt State, The adhesion of such a man to Home Rule settlement is certainly an important event. In proposing a health to Col. Lynch, who has undertaken the task of raising a brigade of Irish recruits, Lord Chaneell'or .Campbell said, "As for myself, if I may eqr the moment intrude the personal tone, I should like tea gay* that from the day the war broke out I determined, regard- less of all my commitments in the past, and the views of old political colleagues, that I - should endeavor to the best of my ability to bring about a solution by consent of the Irish problem on the only lines that seemed to Inc held any promise of either permanence or success. I mean self-government for a united Ireland, "With this end in view and this hope I labored hard, both in public and in private, for the success of the convention, This is neither the time Flet, tie° place to consider or discuss the reasons for the comparatively unfortunate failure of that attempt, but I ani nevertheless still not with- out hope that the wonderful spirit of compromise and conciliation which animated that distinguished gather - leg of patriotic Irishmen shall yet bear fruit in more congenial times, when the prevailing: atmosphere of restlessness and suspicion have been scattered, in a happy solution of this very difficult p_uoblem. e "At the same time I feel the per- tain convietlon, which 1 am sure is shared by many here, that in this arrt.h filial effort being made by Col. Lynch and many 0f: our countrymen in voiui tary recruiting lies the only of escape from the clanger and disaster of conscription. Por myself I'should be willing to make any sac- riftce 11 11,'Could be averted. "Purifier, I believe it to be the only hope whereby Ireland may sue, ceed Li retaining the confidence and respect of the nations of the world and realize her ambitions and ideals. Surely when the colonial dominions aro giving such an earnest of their loyalty and devotion to their Mother Country, when our great heroic allies, France and the United States, Who both in theory and- construction, are the embodiment of all that is best in strength and force of freedom and tlentncraey, are putting every ounce of their strength into this struggle, Ireland has only herself to blame if she fails to pull a fair weight or make a reasonable contribution to • 'elle united effort. "I am not in the secrets a the Cabinet, and ani net even responsible for the policy of the Irish executive, but I have no hestitation' in saying that I believe that neither: this Gov.: ernunent nor any Gave}nment yet to 130 created can succeed in settling the Irish question if we fail to' respond to the effort Col, Lynch and the Ce; crusting eorninitteei are about tq make," The Marshall Islands, The Marshall Islands are a, group not far from Attstralia recently wrested from German control. Up to a period in the not very remote past their inhabitants followed pannibal proclivities. The late Alexander Agassiz, iii the course of his ethno- logical studies in the Seutli Sea Is: lands, had an u_ ncomtnonly interest- Ing experience with the Marshall Islanders, A group gf native war- riots was persuaded to sing a typi, cal war chant of the tribe, Unknown Ito then; Irpe of Mr, Agassiz's essist- ante recorded the client. on one of the early phonographs, then a new thing to civilization itself, At the end, of the chant the needle was re- vereed, and the astontelied natives listened to the strangest echo they ever heard.

Without stern or keel or stern -post to aid him, he constructed at one end a sloping runway for poling the era,ft through the shallows, and at the other ,l flat minter for the purpose of paddling It through the depths or in midstream. Then, in the thwarts, whel'e ordinarily a rower would sit, he spread a carpet of cushions and pillows inviting to luxurious out- stretched ease, and 10, the queen of British craft was there! In the popular estimation, the boat peculiar to the River Thames, or the streams at Oxford and Cambridge, is essentially an English institution. It has the quality of leisure character- istic of these rivers, and repeats and crystalizes in its exterior the Briton's characteristic attributes. It has corn - mon sense. It wastes no time on non- essentials. It is steady and reliable, and above all it has that ubiquitous .British quality' which only the word "comfort" can convey. Slanderers there are who point to its ungainly lines, its needless weight and bulk, its tendency to crawl and loiter, and the general atmosphere of languor and gondola -like dolee far niente which seems to pervade it, But these are libels at which this :flat-bottomed, Primitive -looking craft can well af- ford to laugh. For, though it lack the trim of the Thames skiff or gig, or the speed of the Canadian canoe or the outrigger, the punt has none of their, discomforts or attendant risks, and in its surprising quick response to its master's will, it recalls the cat- boat or its aristocratic cousin of Venice, Bet 'the punt is intolerant of the amateur. It resents the inadequate liuman propeller, for whom it usually has a few totally unexpected sur- prises. Let the beginner, for instance, attemptpaddle, l mayfind P to pa de, and he t the punt making for that side of. the river which' he is endeavoring to avoid. Or it may begin to gyrate and twist, to shoot forward when he. would fain, go back or stop, or it will" drift just when he confidently assures himself he has it under full control. In short, like the Irishman's prbverb- lel pig, it is almost sure to persist in a course the very opposite of what was intended, until, adrift helplessly in mid -stream, or aground on, some inhospitable island or shoal, the. atua teur• pilot frantically appeals tet soiree one to rescue him.:.In poling, it niay be said that hi:: initial attempts will be attenet:Id with no greater su^ces:3, though his experiences undoubtedly will be more varied. The long pole, with its iron tip, which he must thrust into tI ; ':ottot:l c_ thc river, 1:. an elusive crcatnr'e of .5: ondrous hu; ;tors and subtle tricks, • It demands sympathy ane'. understanding, . with- out vf11c:t it des -Plops a.n i•iordinntr' desire to float h,stcad of sinking, to twist in one's hands, to get four of the boat, and either to precipitate its owner into, the river or calmly wrench itetelf from hie g a+' i and peacefully float away shoreward, while he stands helplessly looking an. One might surely say that. the true virtue of the punt lies le its essenti- ally social • qualities. It has raised the picnic to a fine art. It nos en- coure eed the student, the thinker, the poet, the artist to ply their call- ing, and whoever saw any of' these eraftxmen following, their bent in a skiff or, a canoe? Tlioiigh it cpul'ts roil title, it cheerfully aecottrnipdates ti fc.utily. It takes life philosophical- ly, and ieacheri the lesson tutu s9llp of us fail tp grasp, that the tiquy cif If Nitre may be the one meet fraught with real' protit, that profit which conies of reflection and introspection, combined with a reasonable Amount of agreeable toil in the open. With the punt tied up to a grassy bank and • shaded by an overhanging limb of a tree, there comes the temptation to draw out a book, a manuscript, qt• the tools of one's graft.

Skill and Patience of Divers Do Much for Navy. Dumas'• her6,.Di.' Servans, profess- ed to bring the dead to life—provided they had not been, buried too long, Says Geo. A. Dewar in London Mall. To -day the British, naay performs for dead ships what hn professed for dead men. It is- coming to this: In time we shall see an armada of mer- chant ships which have lain sheer hulks anything up to 15 or 20 fat ems under the sea raised from tie graves, recommissioned, and rent o a new career round the world. Already more than one ship, sunk to her topmast, has been raised, brought to life, despatched on a new career,then sunk again by the en- emy, and raised anew by our navy, and given yet a third life. These miracles we owe to the skili and patience •qf the salvage ships— honor the R.N.R.! I have examined ships in all stages of revival, from a patched -up convalescent—worth the best part of ten million dollars •-- ready for final discharge from hospl•. tal, down to a burnt, alined, and shelled wreck, whose upper decks even in low tide are awash. I saw the pumps at work, little submersibles, mammoth motors, too, throwing each of them hundreds of tons of water out of her. I saw the divers going down into the dusk, wal- lowing in the slime, to search, mould, patch, shore up, bung, and to burn off with electricity bits of bent and jagged plate. 'How , do the divers talk to each other? There is only one way. They must first touch helmets. 1.Vlhat its horn is to the ant in conversativa, his helmet Is to the diver. Next, stow does he hear? He presses a tiny butt on his helmet's valve; not for lei or his huge waders would fill with .kir, but long enough to shut out the up - rear of the rotatory lnoveiuent of the pump and produce dead silence.
