THOSE WHO SUFFER.

While the air and the newspa-
pers are filed with the names Of
the kings and emperors and gen
erals and prime ministers and the
statesmen of much or little power
and influence in this general Eu-
ropean war, what Of the people of
those countries?
The lives Of millions of men are
being thrown into the scales of
war. The lives of scores of mil
lions Of women and children are
to be cast after them.
What of these men, the Drawn,
the backbone Of these countries
chat these royal snobs are tossing
about as a child's toy? What of
these women and children, these
widows and orphans, doomed to
lives of misery and suffering?
What do these millions Of men
know Of this war, or what do they
care for it's causes?
Nothing.
What do these women and chill
drensknow Of this war or care for
it's so-called reasons?
Less than nothing.
They can't even guess why it
is forced upon them.
The people, the common people,
the workers, do the fighting in
this and all other wars.
What for?
Nothing.
Worse than nothing.
They do the fighting, they get
killed and crippled, and that is
all.
/ Whether they win or lose the
war, they lose for themselves.
If they should win they lose
and if they should lose they lose
all the more.
Either way the people of war
ring countries always lose.
The people never win.
i They do the fighting.
They do the suffering.
), They do the dying.
They endure the privations.
They bear the burdens.
They pay the bills.
But they never get any of tn
), rewards.
! This war, like all other wars
is clash Of the big interests.
E Like all other wars, this inter
national blood-letting is for tn
benefit of the kings, the emperors
. the financial monarchs, the JUG
g1ers in statecraft.
They will get all the returns.
They will gather in all the r.
:, wards.
:, They will harvest all the gains.
- Oceans of blood will be shet
:, and millions of lives will 60 OF
amid tears and bitter groans.
8 But none of this blood-none {
these lives be contribute

A SERMON ON SINGING /,

0he Is d, certain kind of un-
earthly screeching that they call
" fashionable singing. ,, Ever
near any of it' If not, you We
missed treat. Just go into most |
any city church on Sunday morn |
ing and they'll give you sample
OF 1t. Here's how you will know
when it's a-coming; You'll see
somebody go to the piano or pipe
organ and begin to claw over the
Keys like puppy digging for al
ground-mouse. Then you IL see a
young lady march out onto the
stage with her arms full of sheet
music and her face set like the
time-lock ON national hank
vault. She stops and gazes over
the audience as solemnly as a
convict going to the electric chair.
Then she unfolds her music and
begins to pucker her mouth till
it looks like the blossom end of a
.swivelled cucumber. Everybody
holds their breath. Something
awful is about to happen.
Suddenly the young lady S
mouth opens like the nose end of
a tobacco sack, and you hear a
noise that sounds like pulling a
yard Of bologna sausage through
a tin horn. Her eyes seem to
bore through the ceiling like two
left-handed gimlets and her
throat works like a frog swallow
ing a June-bug. Her voice seems
to have been made in joints and
put together with brass rings,
and it rattles against her Adam s
apple like dragging a log-chain
over a bridge,
The audience leans forward
and drinks it in like a young cat
bird eating a worm. Of course
nobody understands a word of
the song, and if they did the
song would be failure. 1t would
not be fashionable singing .
The only thing required of you
is to sit there like chicken with
the gapes and drink it in. Let il
run in at both ears and ooze out
through the pores of your soul
The singer stops to get hel
breath and to wait for the audi
ence to catch up. The organist
hits The instrument in the face {
few times like nigger woman
"a beating out peas, and then they
sail in again. Lickity-split they
go, up and down the scale, like
two hound dogs after a rabbit
and all the while the expression
on the singers face looks like ;
mixture of cramp collie, dealt
agony, a toothache and a sneeze
Once in while the jointed mel
ody comes in such volumes tha
it almost jars the shingles loose
and then it fades away till i
sounds like where the little en-
Of a cat-fght tapers off to moth
ing.
And when it is all over, you 6
home feeling like somebody ha
run a wood rasp over your sor
tooth. But it is the Fashion, yo
know, and Fashion is great ol
gal.
