Reason! The National jewelers.
Board of Trade has LOO mebers
throughout the country. 1t was or
gained to reform trade abuses, to diff
fuse accurate information as to the
standing of merchants, procure uni

and to investigate failures and facili-

action was brought in the state Of
New York against this very commend
able organization as trust. 1t was
decided that it had not intended 10
violate the law, and that it had done
good work, but Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Kellogg in reaching this decision,
found that the corporations exceeded
its charter powers because it main
tanned a collection agency and fur
nished legal services to its members.
With common sense that we commend
to the careful consideration of the at
torney general at Washington, Mr..
Kellogg says that before recommend
ing action in the case, a reasonable
opportunity should be given the de-
PENDANT, "in view of the great good
it does along many lines, so to reor-
ganize itself if possible as to fully

AMERICAS DESTINY

IN the blood of Europe the destiny
of America is being written When the
last battleship has been sunk, when
the last engagement has been lost and

in thousand towns and villages, when
rulers and statesmen and diplomats

inevitable that, towering over all,

God who holds the nations like the

leading us to this high destiny, let US
approach it humbly And may be graut

The Red Cross Appeal

Whether We approve of war or not,
we can all find common ground for the
appeal of humanity made through the
Red Cross Society.
The Red Cross has no enemies.
The Red Cross is not at war.
The Red Cross knows no politics.
The Red Cross does not ask: Who
shot off your leg?"
The Red Cross does not inquire
What am l to get out of this?''
The Red Cross Society is a great,
experienced courageous organization
whose sole mission is mercy to unfor-
tunate humanity.
Through the mayors of American
cities the Red Cross Society is appeal
ing for funds Almost anybody can
help. Ten cents" it says, will buy
enough chIoroform or ether to provide
painless operation for some poor
wounded soldier"
A successful operation may mean a
life saved. Men will be needed, even
crippled men, after this great war, to
help provide for the innocent women
and children
And then, there is the pure joy CT
living! Let us gladly help some poor
unfortunate to continue living. 1t will
be pleasant for him to live when peace
is restored.

ARMIES ENDURING
TERRIFIC STRAIN
CONTINUOUS fight
BOTH Sides ARE EXHAUSTED
Strain is Almost Beyond
Endurance

LONDON, Sept. 19.-(Special. The
battle of the Aisne now on its sixth
day has developed into the supreme
conflict of the French campaign. The
latest official news sets forth that
there has been a lull in the Titanic ar
tillery duel. This is taken to indica. e
that today's struggle may be marked
by tremendous advance of infan-
try, such as made the battlefield Of
the Marine a scene of indescribable
horror and desolation.
Reports from Berlin concerning the
position of the German forces has a
more confident ring. The admission
has been made that the German army
was short of ammunition, but this
shortage has been rectifed and sup
plies and reinforcements are being
sent forward without trouble.
A French officer just returned from
the battle front, declares the strain on
both sides of the line promises soon to
get beyond human endurance. lie
likens the antagonists to two exhaust
ed pugilists and says that soon they
will be unable to inflict further pun
ishment on each other. If this situa-
ton develops, the only possible way
for the allies to prevent weary and
disheartening winter campaign, it is
argued here, will be a successful as
sault on the German communications
Such an assault, it is admitted by
the allies, will not be an easy matter.
The Belgian army, in marrying the in
vaders, probably prevents the dis
patch of any great part of the Ger
man army now occupying Belgium to
reinforce their countrymen in France.
but the Belgian forces are not strong
enough seriously to interfere with
communication, while the allies must
break through some part of the line
or turn the German right before they
can effectively threaten the communi-
cation of the invaders.

IF WE BUT KNEW.

Could we but draw back the curtains
That surround each others lives.
See the naked hearts and spirits,
Know what spur the action gives:
Often we would find it better.
Purer than we Judge we should,
If we only understood.
Gould we judge all deeds by motives,
See the good and bad within,
cf,en we would love the sinner,
All the while we loathe the sin.
Could we know the powers working.
To overthrow integrity,
We would judge each others errors,
With more patient charity.
If we know the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointments,
Understood the loss and gain,
Would the grim external roughness
seem,
| wonder, just the same?
Should we help where now we hinder,
Should We pity where we blame?
All, we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not the fount of action
Is less turbid at its source,
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
Oh, we'd love each other better,
If we only understood.

For every dollar invested in philan

dred dollars will come back in trade to

motive of our work, the fact is never
theless indisputable. Twelve hundred

men procure their machinery and their

A clergyman out in IOWA resigned
his pastorate. rather than quit smok-
ing, as his Pensioners wanted him
to do. He did exactly right His
parishioners had no business asllina
him to quit smoking. That was a
personal right which he had the right
to exercise if he saw proper. If the
pastor had come back and said he
would quit if every member of his
congregation would quit, he would
have had them in tight place. They
wanted the pastor to quit, but would
not quit themselves, would have been
the result of such a demand by the
pastor. Now the writer of this does
not smoke, and does not approve OF
anybody smoking, but it is narrow

to want to force a minister to quit
using the weed, if he so desires.-Tus-
