A servant girl of one of the alien

this hell has flared loose, and the
little home in the old country may be
blackened ruin, and its occupants

A TIME WHEN BUSINESS
NEEDS PUSHING

The uncertainties of this war period
of courage make the immediate bust
ness future more or less problemat-
zeal. Most people agree that In time
the United States will get new trade
out of this war. But any sharp and
sudden revival can hardly be ex-
pected.
Under these circumstances, prud
ence is of course called for. All the
same, it Is no time to stop efforts to
sell goods.
The right view to take of the mat.
ter was illustrated by the course of
certain manufacturing concern
known to the writer. They found war
complications had cut off about %
per cent of their trade. What did
they do? A timid management might
have called in part of their statesmen
in order to save expense.
On the contrary, this firm took
their highest priced man, and start
ed him out on very extensive and
expensive tour all over the country.
Their old trade being injured, they
are meeting the situation by drum
ming up new business.
This spirit of enterprise and OF
adaptiveness to conditions las a
lesson for all engaged in retail trade.
Here and there one finds "a merchant
who feels shaky about the business
situation. He decides that he must
prune his expense, so perhaps ha cuts
his advertising appropriation.
The sales department of business
is its very heart. Whatever pruning
may be done, you can't touch VS.
sales expense without striking d.
rectly at the receipts of the con-
Germ.
The successful and enterprising
business, if it finds its sales hurt by,
the present depression, Is trying to
make new customers, AMI increasing
its sales work through larger adTer-
Using.

WAR SONGS INSPIRE
| TROOPS IN BATTLE
BY e. L. Keen, London Correspond
ent Of the United
Press

London, Sept. 26.-To the stirring
strains of battle songs and national
airs men march fearlessly to death,
or throw themselves upon the enemy
with such fury that seemingly defeat
is turned to victory.
What song will the present war
produce? Will 1t be an inspired Ger
man, Frenchman, or Englishman who
will sing the song of the Titanic Eur
opean struggle to endure in history
and thrill generations now unborn to
deeds of valor?
klpIing Hymn Popular /,
English newspapers are now print
ing Rudyard Kipling's famous Hymn
Before Action" 1t was written TIL ee
years before the South African war.
1t is the vigil prayer of the armies of
Britain, but few doubt that even a
greater hymn may be resounding ov-
er the European battlefields before
the present conflict is brought I,
close.
The "Marseillaise" stands out as
one of the most famous songs in the
world. 1t has played its part in the
framing of worlds history. Yet it
was written by a Frenchman who
knew hardly enough music to put the
notes of the stirring song on paper.
Rouget de Leslie was the author. The
song which throbs with the revolu-
tionary longing of the authors name
was composed within an hour or two
| and now is the national anthem of
France. AS the army of the revolu,
ton sang the "Marseillaise," so is 1t
to be heard on the present battle-
| fields of Europe as the French 60 to
grips with the German hordes who
| fling back their Deutschland,
Deutschland, Uber Allies"
The German Hymn
With Die Wacht Am Rhein," by
Scheeckenburger. Deutschland, Deu,
tschland Uber Allies" dates from
about 1910. Both stir the very soul,
| and it is to these tunes that the arm
les of the kaiser go into battle.
Rule Britannia the song that rep
resents the martial spirit of England,
vigorous and inspiring leads the
troops of Britain to deeds Of valor.
Probably one of the least known of
the national anthems is the Belgian
anthem La Brabanconne,' written
in 1880. The little country was then
torn by war. as it is now, in Holland,
but revoltcd, and it was during this
war that Mons. Jenneva wrote four
stanzas of La Brabaconne. The
music was composed by Francis van
Campenhout.
On through the nations the stories
of its battles and it's songs stahl side
by side. The American Civil war
brought forth the Battle Hymn of
the Republic" and the war of 1912
the Star Spangled Banner" not a
fighting hymn, but of stately meas
ure and expressive of a devotion that
has brought it's adoption as the ma
tional anthem

THRIFT IN WARTIME

The remark is frequently made,
and with good sense, that in the UNI
certain business outlook now exist
ing. there should be a wholesale eff
fort for more thrift and economy in
living expenses. The war Is going
to destroy billions of loanable capt
tai. The American people Will have
to take up enormous quantities OF
their stocks and bonds now held IN
Europe.
The trouble comes, in putting this
idea into practice, that as the pros
perity Of the country has grown, most
people have taken on more costly
habits OF living. 1t is easy to let
the dimes and dollars slip out into
new ways Of spending, and triply
hard to return to former frugal nab
it's.
For instance, young man remark
ed in the hearing of the writer
short time ago, that a man must holc
ON to a nickel pretty tight, II nc
made II practice to black his OWL
boots. In his home city. he said the
business streets were lined with boo
backing establishments. Few yount
men In his set condescended an!
longer to black their own boots.
This young man is apparently get
ting salary of about SIS per week
His business demanded that he MAKE
good appearance. He, should hav'
his boots polished every day At nv
cents each time, that would be owe
SIS a year. A substantial chunk GU
of his moderate income.
One such expense may not be o
vital moment. But just as soon a
people begin to hire others to do wha
they can equally well do for them
selves, they become infected with tn
contagion of waste and easy spend
ing.

THE WAR SPIRIT

There are people who claim that
the war spirit is manifest all through
daily life in this present crisis.
There are always many cases
of fisticuffs on the ball field. Some
people assert there have been more
than usual since the war started.
Their theory is that people are read
ing so much about fighting, that ev-
cry one feels personally on the verge
of battle, is quick to take affronts,
and recent real or supposed injuries,
Anyway, the newspapers do report
a good many cases where arguments
about the war result in battered
heads. Within day or two 1t was
noted that fifty lumbermen in the
Maine woods squared off at each 9TH

THE MOVEMENT FOR BUYING
COTTON

COTTON
To the Southern cotton grower, fore
ed by the war to sell his product at
a price below cost of production, ruin
seems imminent. Losses from such
forced sales will not be limited to
one section. The demand for North
ern manufactured goods and Western
food products must fall in sympathy.
To meet this situation the Buy
bale of cotton movement" was start
ed. The Washington society women
are to have fashion show of cos
tunes made of cotton goods.
Women who have been using i'm
ported fabrics will find these goods
costing higher this year than ever.
If they would each buy dress or
two of some form of cotton material,
in place of foreign made textiles,
home demand would be created that
would go far to relieve the situation.
Cotton is often looked at as a cheap

beauty of treatment. The workers
of India turn out cotton so fine that
a pound of thread is lis miles long
They make fabrics so sheer and deli.
cate that when spread on the grass
and covered with dew, they are in

As O substitute for wool clothing,
cotton is considered to lack warmth.
Yet the fact that 1t is so very large
ly used in place of wool shows the
adaptability of the material.
The worst of the cotton crisis could
be worked off at home, without injur-
ing home industries that produce 9TH
or fabrics. simply by buying cotton
products instead of imported textiles.
The American people must stand to-

ed strain. There is no sense in pay
ing high prices for foreign made
goods, when an American material,

craftsmanship is going begging.

BLASPHEMY
If the two opposing forces now at

ent religions with separate god for
each, one Christian, the other pagan,
and naturally opposed to each other,
the frequent appeals being made by
each side to God for favors of one
kind or another might not be so in
consistent with what any form of re-
ligion is supposed to stand for. But
rs all parties at interest are Chris
tians with one God, the Father of all,
that He should be called upon to take
any part with one side or the other
trary to the precepts and practice Of
CHRIST, the founder of their religion,
Sc the rankest sort of sacrilege and
blasphemy.
1t is we'll not to forget there is a
God, whatever these slayers of their
brothers may do to prove the con-
trary, and it is we'll that prayers be
offered up to Him, but those prayers
should be for His spirit and power
to stay the butchery and lead men
out of the error of their ways. 1t
may be necessary to fight, but let
it be a man fight not a God fight. -
