Coggeshall, 149 Broadway, New York City, submits to you as a "confession of faith (in your issue of July 10, 1918) may be found in Cowper's "Task," Book V, "The Winter Morning Walk," of which they are the concluding lines. In their correct form they read as follows: "But O! thou bounteous Giver of all good, The idea of formulating a "confession of faith" was probably entirely remote from Cowper's mind in composing these lines, although readers of his poetry will readily recognize in them an expression of the faith which he held. They occur as an ejaculation at the close of a passage in which he has dwelt upon the goodness of God and his presence in nature. It will therefore be seen that the lines are of no great antiquity, "The Task" having been written in 1782. English literature stretches back so many centuries beyond the eighteenth that a classic work of that period can, historically, hardly be called old. As one of the brightest literary lights of the eighteenth century, Cowper = ranks high among English poets, and his - delightful metrical essays, as well as his numerous shorter poems, deserve wider recognition than they perhaps receive from twentieth-century readers. Buffalo, New York. E. M. HOWARD. PROTECTING ANIMALS IN ITALY I shall be very grateful to you if you I will kindly again find space in your columns to insert an appeal with regard to the Naples Society for the Protection of Animals. Its work has been carried on with vigor during the past year in spite of special difficulties, arising in part from many of our best inspectors being still serving with the army, in part from the circumstance that a large number of the strongest horses have been requisitioned for army work, so that increased labor falls to the lot of the weaker animals.. I add a few statistics of the operations of the inspectors: Vehicles to which extra animals were at because injured or unfit for work. 100 Dogs and cats chloroformed...... 2,260 Relieved: Animals carried head downwards, etc..... 6,716 I will only add that I make an earnest appeal to our generous friends in England and elsewhere to continue to us their support.

(Princess) MELE BARESE, Important to Subscribers When you notify notify The Outlook of a change in your address, both the old and the new address should be given. Kindly write, if possible, two weeks before the change is to take effect. Speaking of the Marne salient, as most clothes for nuthin', without payin' for dem? of us are doing just now, Don Marquis, An' all dese eats three times a day, an' a remarks in the "Sun Dial:" "There seems to be considerable Franco-American binding around that well-known pocket." Tommy Mason, a correspondent tells us, was superintendent of the construction work on the Tuckahoe, the naval collier turned out of the yards of the New York Ship-Building Corporation in 27 days 2 hours 55 minutes the world's record cut in half. After the launching Charles M. Schwab sought Mason to learn how he and his men had made such phenomenal speed. "I want to pass your secret along to other shipyards," said Schwab. "No booze," replied Mason. "That's the secret." A correspondent whose name is, not inappropriately, Butcher, asks a new foodsaving question, namely: "What is the law in regard to eating whale on Fridays?" A writer in the New York "Sun" remarks: "With the opening of Nantucket to the automobile this summer the last bar in New England has been let down. As only forty more voted for the innovation than against it, the change of local sentiment can scarcely be said to have got far beyond the stage of bitter controversy which for years has stirred up the island." A singular happening in a draft board (Local Board No. 2, Richmond, Virginia) is told us by its chairman, Mr. H. W. Ellerson. He writes: "There were registered by our Board two Negro men, brothers, Abraham Baugh and Isaac Baugh, who lived together at 1120 West Moore Street, this city. The serial number of Abraham Baugh was 1,998, and that of Isaac Baugh 991. In the drawing in Washington, Serial No. 991 was drawn as Order No. 1,621, and Serial No. 1,998 was drawn as Order No. 1,622; thus the order numbers of these two brothers ran consecutively. We sent the two men to camp last week, and I told them I thought perhaps they were born under a lucky star and would probably make a record for themselves. I doubt if there is a similar case in the United States." The octopus frequently changes in color, as if it were a marine chameleon. It would appear, from recent studies of this creature, that the colored pigment whereby this change in color is effected is contained in envelopes in its skin, in the tissue of which are muscular fibers actuated by nerves. Should these fibers become relaxed, a dark pigment appears. The phenomenon is said to be analogous to blushing. If the octopus is as wicked as Victor Hugo painted him, he ought to blush! Mr. E. J. Riggs writes this short but pointed letter to the New York "Sun" about squealing: "On reading in the Sun" that German newspapers are indignant because American soldiers are using shotguns, I was reminded of a card shark' in Leadville in '79. He had held out a big hand for a killing, and had it stuck in the top of his boot. Finally he got his bank roll into a big pot and reached for his holdout to switch in, but found it gone. Hold on!' he yelled, I ain't going to play in this game-there's cheating going on."" 6 good bed, an' all dem blankets?" He was told that Uncle Sam gives them all these things. "Well, den, why in Sam Hill didn't dis wah staht soonah ?"" An epigram attributed to Congressman Gallivan reads: "Rum has more enemies in public and more friends in private than any other substance the world has ever known." Humorously describing the situation at the front, the Springfield "Republican" halfback on his plunge through tackle says: "In football terms, the German fumbled and dropped the ball, which was instantly grabbed by the French fullback and carried back around the other end in a brilliant run that brought the spectators on the Allied grand stands to their feet cheering. The French now have the ball for the first down on the 40-yard line." In view of the paper shortage some one recalls old Ben Franklin's remarks: "One can scarce see a new book without observing the excessive artifices made use of to puff up a paper of verses into a pamphlet, a pamphlet into an octavo, and an octavo into a quarto, with scab-boardings, white lines, sparse titles of chapters, and exorbitant margins, to such a degree that the selling of paper seems now the object, and printing on it only the pretense. I enclose the copy of a page in a late comedy. Between every two lines there is a white space equal to another line. You have a law, I think, against butchers blowing veal to make it look fatter? Why not one against booksellers blowing books to make them look bigger?" The chief inventions used in the present war as distinguished from the Napoleonic wars are listed as follows: Steamship, submarine, aircraft, high-power guns, smokeless powder, breech-loading gun, rapid-fire gun, revolver, automatic pistol, telephone, wireless telegraphy, automobile, poisonous gas. As a fair illustration of the rabbit pest in certain portions of New Zealand, and especially in the drier sections of the South Island, it is stated that on an estate lately taken over by the New Zealand Government, comprising 12,446 acres of freehold and a pastoral run of 19,250 acres, there were killed or captured about 120,000 rabbits in order to clear up the property so as to make it suitable for the location of returned soldiers. From January, 1915, to the end of May, 1918, four hundred and seven ships sunk by the Germans in British waters have been salvaged, so a note in "Shipping states. Feats performed by the Salvage Department include the raising of a large collier sunk in twelve fathoms of water, involving a dead lift of 3,500 tons. "Do you remember the line 'Like that above?" is the question which Oliver Wendell Holmes is said to have asked his classmate, Samuel F. Smith, about his poem "America." Dr. Holmes went on: "What does the word that refer to?" Smith replied, "To rapture." No doubt other readers of the hymn have been puzzled by the line. The stanza in full is as follows: WORKING GIRLS' VACAT Owing to the increase in rain and the high cost of living, the Girls' Vacation Society is obliged friends and the generous public to continue its work this summer. More girls than usual have a there is a long waiting list.
