GERMANY IS STILL FAR
FROM STARVATION
Berlin,—In spite of all difficulties,
Germany is farther from being starv
ed into submission than any of her
adversaries think. It sounds alarm
ing when they begin experimenting
making “milk” from weeds, and
“meat” from hay and straw, and
when the poople, ns in Schleswig, are
told to live on soya beans.
There nrc many things that arc in
a bad shape, grain, potatoes nnd
other articles of food. War broad
is a miserable fare and cakes which
are still exhibited in the bnker’s
windows look as they did in time
of peace, but are mado from potato
flour.
The well-to-do who can afford good
cooking do not feci the misery yet,
for it is the most expensive articles
of food that have gone up least
in price. Tn the Berlin restaurants
you may still get a dinner for 50
cents consisting of turtle soup, lob
ster, roast veal nnd dessert. It is
only the poor who are growing poorer
still.
Germans Not Worried
But when tile outside world is led
to think the situation is growing
worse and that each new rescript is
a proof supplies are running still
lower and the wolf is at the door,
such ideas do not agree with those
that are nrroused - among the Ger
man people by these precautions. Tu
Germany every new regiulation is
taken ns a proof of the government
being wide awake, not ns a testimony
of a threatening peril, but as a sign
of timely caution.
What perhaps more than anything
buoys up the German mind under the
present conditions and gives con
fidence in Germany’s strength and
hope of her final victory, are the
mighty rivers of Russian prisoners
that are incessantly moving along all
high roads of Northcnr Prussia.
Large districts are being gradual
ly transformed into little Russias
with a Slav population clad in rags
and confined within stockades and
barbed wire fences.
The following editorial In the
Vilser Inspektions Bote shows how
determined the German people arc
t-o suffer all kinds of privations
rather than give in.
“We may have to kill all our cat
tle” the paper says. “We mny have
to do without milk, butter and cliese,
but it does not matter. We will
submit to nny rule laid down by
the government that manages our
stock of provisions. We will do this
without a murmur and be content
with the meager share that is given
us.
Day of Fasting Proposed
“But wo will do even more than
this for our country. A patriotic
German has suggested that we fast
one day a week. Our soldiers often
have to go without food more than a
day a week, but we do not need to
go as far as that.
“Lot us merely take a solomn vow
to economize as far as possible in the'
use of the necessaries of life, never
to eat bread when we are not actually
hungry and to stop eating ns soon as
our hunger is appeased. Let ns suc
ceed in this as well as we have suc
ceeded along our frontiers.
“No matter how much our rations
may be reduced we know that Our
Savior, wlm during his earthly exist
ance fed thousands of people on near
ly nothing, has the power to do the
same miracle once more.”

In the days when the buffalo was
found In vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who while
riding at a gallop could send an arrow
through a buffalo's body. Remarkable
as tuts archery was, it did not equal
that reached by the archers of ancient
times.
It Is of record that the MncRaes of
Gairiock, Scotland, were such skilled
archers that they could hit a man at
the distance of 500 yards. In 1794 the
Turkish ambassador at London shot an
arrow In a Held near that capital 415
yards against the wind. The secretary
of the ambassador, on bearing the ex
pressions of surprise from the English
gentlemen present, said the sultan had
shot 500 yards. This was the greatest
performance of modern days, but a
pillar standing on a plain near Con
stantinople recorded shots ranging up
to S00 yards. Sir Robert Ainslle. Brit

records that In 1798 be was present
when the sultan shot an arrow 072
yards.

Old English Fairs.
Fairs and feasts were formerly held
In ehurehynrds in honor of the saint
to whom the church was dedicated,
in consequence of these popular gath
erings being much abused they had
to be suppressed in the thirteenth year
of tile reign of King Edward III., us
appears by the following extract, quot
ed by Spelman: “And the Kynge eom
mandeth and forbiddetk that from
henceforth neither fairs and markets
shall be kept in churchyards for the
honour of the Church. Given at West

Lightning.
Lightning appears in three forms—
zigzag and sharply defined at the edges,
In sheets of light. Illuminating a whole
cloud, which seems to open and reveal
the light within It, and lu the form of
fire balls. The duration of the first
two kinds scarcely continues the thou
sandth part of n second, but the globu
lar lightning moves much more slowly,
remaining visible for several seconds.

What a Revival le.
The word "revival” is often given a
meaning which primarily does not be
long to It. Many emphasize the con
version of sinners ns the essential ele
ment In revival work, but that Is the
secondary meaning of the word. Es
sentially “revival” menns the quicken
ing of God’s people. You cannot re
vive a dead man. Tbo unregenerate
sinner Is spiritually dead. He must be
born again. Now, you may revive a
partially drowned body or a partially,
frozen body. The regenerate soul’s
life often weakens and wanes until
the flame almost flickers out. But If
there be the least spark of life left It
can be fanned into a flame, and, like
the apparently dead cinder in the
smithy’s forge, that spark will touch
others and kindle a flame that will en
thuse a church, a city or even a nation.
A revival of religion, then, must logi
cally begin with the church. Such is
the divine order.—Christian Herald.
Chivalry means far more than rever
ence of men for women. It means the
reverence of strength for weakness
wheresoever found.
