I conceive that after four years of war
I such enormous quantities of food could

chocolate, jellies, and preserves of
every kied, arranged M. apparently
endless rows. Hundreds of blue sugar
loaves, bags of peas and beans, dried
fruits, biscuits, etc. One is speech-

old jest that the quantities are so
great that one man alone can not Ram
any idea of them. The value of the

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Love of Good Books is a Foundation
for Good Character.
When you find a child who loves
good books, the noxious weeds of
envy, hatred, jealousy and malice
are not so likely to grow in his mind
and choke out the exquisite blossoms
of love, tenderness, unselfishness,
gratitude and the desire to do unto
others as they would be done by. The
love of good books is one foundation
for good character. It is the excep-
tion, not the rule, to encounter sordid-
ness, greed or insensibility in the man
or woman who .kows and loves good
books. Robert Louis Stevenson Dn00
said that s long as a man had a
friend, he had something to live for.
Is it not true so long as one Can love
a good and beautiful book that life
never will be without hope?
No one, perhaps, has spoken more
feelingly of the companionship of
good books than :Richard Aunger-
vyle, When he called them "the gold-
en vessels of the temple; fruitful
olives, wines of Engarteli; fig trees
knowing no sterility and burning
lamps ever to be held in the hand."
Happy ftre the children of this day
and age in that they have so many
good books; in ithat if they carmot
buy, they can celtainly borrow from
the public libraries.
in charge of our train ordered every-
thing we asked for, and there was
nothing to find fault with.
"The great enmity and hatred that
apparently prevail against us were,
however, shown in the negotiations
and by the terms imposed upon us.
Those of us who were soldiers wore
military uniform and the Iron Cross.
Our presentation to the half dozen
French officers with whom ,we had to
negotiate was made in a cool man-
ner.
Foch's Question.
"Marshal Foch, whom we„only saw
twice, at the beginning and at' the
end of the conference, is a stern,
plain man. He did not speak a single
word to us in that pplite tone which
in ,former times distinguished the
most chivalrous nation. H -e received
us with the words, 'Qu'est ce que vous
desirez, Messieurs?' and asked us to
take a seat in the big car filled with
map -covered tables. As it had been
decided that everyone was to speak
in his own language, and everything
had to be interpreted, the reading of
the terms lasted two hours..
"We then withdrew to our train.
As we had been sent out by the old
Government and had no instructions
whatever to sign everything uncon-
ditionally, we divided, under the di-
rection of Herr Erzberger, the vari-
ous matters under the headings of
Military, Diplomatic, ancl Naval af-
fairs, and then negotiated separately
with the members of the enemy com-
missions-, which were composed solely
of officers.
All Cool!
"All these officers showed the same
cool correctness as Marshal Foch,
which was not once tempered with a
friendly word, with the exception per-
haps of the Chief of Marshal Fech's
Stair, who showed a little more po-
liteness. The English Admiral
throughout adopted the same manner
as the French.
"In reality there was nothing to
negotiate. We only pointed out the
technical impossibility of some of the
conditions. We were allowed to sencliet4
code telegrams to Germany from the °
Eiffel Tower, but were otherwise cut
off from the outer world in two trains
inthe middle of a solitary wood."
