Show England's "Official Mind." I doubt whether German artillery will over do ono-lialf of the material nnd moral damago to this country's citizens that the official mind deals tout weekly. I met the other day a marvelous case of the official mind. Tho recruiting office was extremely busy and the5 ardor of recruits burning" burn-ing" hot. Tho supply of printed forms ran short. ' . ' 'A lay helper said, "We havo a typewriting type-writing machlno here. Let us typo porno' forma. I 'can get.thom dono as, fast as they nre needed." . ' The official lips, aghast, seemed to murmur, "Good God, man, this is unthinkable!" un-thinkable!" Printed forms had always been used and must nlwayo be used. The recruiting re-cruiting office was closed, tho ardent patriots sent away, and an official, requisition for moro official printed forms dispatched by post to tho proper official quarter.
