| WAR AS FIERCE
J AS EVER.

The offer of the United States to DO
everything in its power toward BRING
irr about an understanding between
the nations now at war in Europe mas
simply been acknowledged by the bel
gerents and conditions today are as
Sioomy as ever. It is said that Ger
many has already lost one hundred
thousand men, while the allies have
had Their ranks thinned at an equally
alarming rate.
Many acts Of unnecessary cruelty
are reported. in one instance Red
Gross nurses having been fired upon.
Ghouls are robbing the dead, women,
it is said, being engaged in this
loathsome work. One female was
shot for cutting fingers from dead
soldiers which contained rings.
In the last book of the sacred
canon an angel is described stan1lng
in the sun calling upon the birds OF
the air to come to great supper,
where they are to eat the flesh OF
kings and the mighty Of this world,
which arc to line battle fields, as we'll
as horses which are to fall in the con-
fict. 1t looks as though the world IS
approaching this gruesome feast.
While the Germans are represented
as forging head into France notwth-
standing the brave opposition they are
meeting it remains to be seen how
long either side can stand before
the rain of bullets, cannon balls and
shells. One side Or the other will in
evitably be forced to give way.
The war on the sea is the second
phase CT this terrible human conflict.
Five ships belonging to the German
empire are now lying at the bottom OF
the North Sea, having been sunk by
British vessels, and what was a few
years ago the most luxurious and
largest German passenger ship atioat
has met a similar fate on the coast
CT Africa.
Germany is pressing toward Paris
and Russia is gradually making hel
way to Berlin.
Already the present conflict has as.
sumcd proportions far exceeding
those CT any other war which has oc
Cured on the planet. Turkey seem
anxious to enter the ring, while Ma
homctans are about to take advantag!
Of the disturbed conditions in Europe

"Christian dogs"

The sea and the waves are trul.
roaring and mems hearts failing then
for fear of those things that ar
