sentials of the democracies of the
United States and Great Britain.
In spite of the talk about mill
tarism. 1t must be remembered that
while the German army, a purely de-
fensive force provided by n nation sur
rounded by powerful arms and agrees
sive neighbors. has cost about 500. 000,-
600 marks year, there social insur-
ance system, which has safeguardcd
the masses OF the German people has
enormously reduced mortality, and
added to the productive efficiency OF
the masses, has amounted to 1900
600 marks year, and the increase Of
German national wealth acquired
through peaceful and Intelligent In
dustry has Increased annually about
5000. 100000 marks.
Nothing can be more certain that
when the German forces take the line
OF the Vistulu and dominate Poland
they will be in position to spare
enough troops to crush the allies on
the west side of Europe. After this
smashing blow II will take the Rus
sian army many months to reorganize
for new campaign.
Tho desperate situation In which
Russia now. finds herself is clearly in
dicated by the obvious efforts of the
allies to persuade Japan to send troops
into the European Held OF war. They
see defeat staring them In the face.
JAPAN MUST BE OFFERED
TREMENDOUS INDICTMENT
Japan cannot be drawn into the
European field without some ire
mendous inducement.
There can be little doubt that Japan
can be induced to send her troops into
Europe only on an understanding that
China VIII be abandoned TO her, and
that the islands of the Pacific will be
permanently turned over to her.

German wnrships upon the coast Of

CAUTION THROWN TO WINDS
Winston Churchill, First Lord Of

Sympathy for Recent Losses.

LONDON. December 20 $3.50 p. NJ.
Winston Spencer Churchill. First
Lord Of tho Admiralty. in a letter to
The Mayor of Scarborough. expresses
the sympathy OF the navy at the losses
sustained through the German bonn
bardment of that place.
I'VE await with patience the oppor-
tunity that will surely come" con-
tinues the letter. but. Viewed in its
larger aspect. the incident is one OF
the most instructive and encouraging
things that has happened In the war.
Nothing proves more plainly the eff
fectiveness OF the British naval pres
sure than the frenzy or hatred aroused
against us in the breast of the enemy.
This hatred already has passed the
frontiers of reason, 1t clouds thcir
vision, darkcns their counsels and
convulses their movements. We SEQ a
nation OF military calculators throwing
calculation to the winds, of strato-
gists who have lost their sense OF pro-
portion.
Practically the whole of the fast
cruiser force of the German navy, in
Guiding some great ships that are vital
to their fleet. and utterly irreplaceable,
have been risked for the passing pleas
ure OF killing as many English people
ms possible. irrespective Of age or sex,
In the limited time available.
To this act of military and political
folly they were impollcd by violence Of
feelings which could find no other
vent This should confirm us in our
course. Their hate is measure of
their fear. Its senselcss expression Is
proof of their impotence and the seal
of their dishonor.
Whatever feats the German navy
may hereafter perform. the stigma of
babykillers of Scarborough will brand

STILL NO DETAILS
OF ACTION AVAIIAUIE r,

BERLIN, December 90 (via wire
lcss).-The official press bureau to-
day gave out the following Items:
Although certain observers still af-
feet belief that the German victory
in the east will insure against danger
of Russian invasion for all time II
is beginning TO be realized that the
victory, as complete as 1t was IS not
synonymous with utter destruction of
the Russian hosts. and that much re-
mains to DO done. There still are no
details regarding the action available.
The Vienna Neuf Freie publishes
the suggestion of an unnamed general
that the rear guard engagements OF
the retreatlnS army may be designed,
not only to save the Russians trains,
but also to give rcinforcements time
TO come. Upon whether they will be
able TO bring enough fresh troops. he
says, will depend whether tho success
! already achieved will be of lasting
! value
"A Vienna report describing heavy
! lighting near Krosno and along the
upper Dunajec River, shows that the
I Russians there still are capable of de-
/ tcrmined resistance Private advices
show that the Russians are retreat
Ing in the Carpathians northward from
Munkaos without lighting
Another factor that contains a
f 'e"'''' wv 6tc"l expectations
In Poland is that the retreating Rus
slams are getting nearer their base OF
supplies. while their pursuers are get
ting farther away In a country OF ter
/ rible highways. Despite this there Is
complete confidence that Field Marshal
Won flindenburg will be able TO fnis t
what he has begun.
Reports of lighting at many places
, in Flanders has caused speculation
as to whether the Iong-eypected gen.
cral attack OF the allies may not have
been begun. The allies continuous ag.
Grcssion the last few days tustities Tho
supposition that considerable force.
have been brought into activity b,

RESOLUTIONS.

God has endowed the human heart with the ability to love, to sympa- thize and to suffer, when it's rights are infringed upon.
 Now that the hand of the assas- sin has been thrust into our ranks and taken the life of our friend and brother, Oscar L. Honea, our hearts are sad beyond expression. We feel that the loss is irreparable. Only God is able to fill up the void and SUD- ply what our brother did so freely to make our cause success.
 It is always a sad thing when death overtakes a man, but it is doubly so when one in middle life with bright hopes and great responsibilities is taken. It is hard to reconcile that so many innocent ones have to suffer for the wrongs of others. It is not Gods way or his doing, yet, He is able to turn defeat into victory and sorrow into joy to them that love and trust Him.
 We all recognize that in the death of Brother Honea the state has lost a valuable citizen and an officer of un- usual ability and worth; the church and Sunday school a faithful and de- voted member, and our class true and faithful helper, always serving as best he could to make our work both a pleasure and a profit. He met with the committee on arrangements for our banquet on Sunday preceding his death. In fact, he spent the en- tire day attending various religious services.
 We desire to express our faith in Bro. Honeas conversion, in his integ- rity as a citizen and as a Christian; and extend our sympathy to the be- reaved family in this unspeakable hour of sadness and suffering. We commend them to the love and pro- lection of our Father, who alone is able to bear our grief and tighten our sorrows.
