Through the dark streets an army!
OF little hands. that shrink
Before the tasks that meet them,
And minds too worn to think!
Through the dark streets meet
them,
And in the factories dim,
Where tears of countless children
Go speaking up to Him!
An army bruised and starving,
o Christ! before Thy gates,
A horde of little children
Upon Thy coming waits!
Again at night | see them
An army crushed and weak,
With hearts too worn for laughter
And lips too faint too speak.
And on the street | hear them,
0 Christ! forgive the wrongl
The evil that men foster,
0 Christi how long? how long?
The counties souls of children
Within the darkness won;
While men pass by uuseeinG,
Undeediug what is donei
Through the dark dawn see them,
An army gaunt and long,
So far the line outStretches
1t swells the numbers strong.
The army of the children
Some day, 0 Christi shall rise,
And tear The scales of darkness
From Mammon's blinded eyes!
The army Of the children
No more my eyes shall see
In that Great Day that's coming
When every child is free!

"Miiitarism. There Is tho Enemy.

The armed peace which preceded thf.
war. and led directly to It. was In some
respects worse than war itself: for It had
many OF the evils of war without wars
educational advantages. We are not like
~ TO return again to that form Of wicked.
ness n folly, unless perchance the con-
tinent OF Europe is able to produce an
other generation OF public men as SELF
centered n OF as narrow a vision an
those who have generally been. In control
OF public policy there for 70 years past.
the whole ~cardhouse of alliances and
ententes. together with the balance Of
power theory, has come tumbling heavily
TO the ground. Something far different
and much more rational will arise in its
stead. In the Europe of tomorrow there
Will be no place for secret treaties and
UNDERSTANDINGS. for huge systems OF
armed camps and limitless navies. for
sleepless international enmity and reach

ligious hatred or for wars made on the

unenlightened craftsmanship have de-

AssimiIating BY Electricity.

We made the point some months ago
that our electric light companies have
been far behind those of Europe in
making it possible for poor people to
get their service. 1t is interesting to
note that the Indiana & Michigan Elec-
trio company. which operates in South
Bend, Ind, (plows, wagons. sewing
~machfnes). has started 81 campaign to
do just this thing. About a third Of
the inhabitants of South Bend are la
borers from Poland. Austria, and tho
Balkan countries. whose wages aver
g about s1.50 or s1.75 per day. The
electric company has figured out plans
whereby houses car be wired at a cost
of from 80 to SIS each, and lighting
service can be given for a minimum
of 81 per month. A Polish sales agent
has been hired to talk to the newcom-
ers. write advertisements for their ma
pers. and attend to their complaints
in short, to translate electricity into
Slovak, etc. The men engaged IN the
work are confident of success and are
going after it. The effect in giving
these people better ways and stand
ards OF living. in getting them a share
In our modern American civilization.
and a feeling that they are SO sharing
will necessarily be very great. This is
solid public service, and it is far bet
ter than any charity. What is being
done on this problem in your town?

A Progressive Township.

A remarkable instance OF what q
rural township can do is given In an
article just published by the United
States Public Health Service. Cape
Fear township, in New Hanover coun-
", North Carolina. started out last
summer on a sanitary campaign under
the combined leadership of the county
board of health, the state board Of
health and the United States Public
Health Service, in Wilmington, N. C.
AS a result there has been great inn
p~rovement in sanitary conditions. Ac-
cording to reports that have just come
In. every schoolhouse and every home
In the township is provided with sani-
tary conveniences.
1T there is any other rural town.
ship in the entire south that can show
a progress equal to this, it ought to
come to the fore and. let itself be
known. When a study of several hun
dred counties shows nearly one-half
of the farm houses without any sani-
tary c~onveniences at all. it is a matter
of pride to point to the achievement Of
a township like Cape Fear in New
Hanover county which demonstrates
itself as being so far ahead of the ay-
erage.
While 1t has been repeatedly claimed
by some public speakers that the south
Is making more rapid strides in i'm
proving its sanitation than any other
part of the country, an examination of
tens of thousands of farm homes In
the South Atlantic states shows that
there are yet many townships where
the sanitary index is less than 3 on a
scale of 100.
