and patrols remains somewhat of a
mystery. The population cherishes
so great confidence in the protection
of the British navy that inha bitants Oh
coast towns made no serious prepare
tions to meet bombardment The
booming Of heavy guns off the three
towns drew hundreds to the beaches.
They had no thought of German raid,
but when shells crashed over their
heads into the streets thew made a
dash for shelter.
Attackers Work Rapidly
The Germans worked rapidly Many
residents took refuge in the cellar,
while others rushed from the homes
, among them being women and chill
dren in night clothes. The naval writ
ers express their opinion that six or
eight ships were engaged. Rumors of
various kinds have spread broadcast.
The first said that two German cruis-
ers were sunk. The admiralty report
, tonight giving the news that Germans
eluded their pursuit and were return
, ing safely to their home waters, caused
keen disappointment.
Allies Continue Offensive.
The raid of the German Warships
upon the northeast coast of England
completely overshadowed operations
on land. These operations, however
are of the utmost Importance. The
British, French and Belgians have con-
tinued on the offensive in the west;
according to the French, and have
made fourther slight progress against
serious opposition. Along the coast
of Flanders, where the allies are trying
to push forward from Nieuport, they
were assisted by the British fleet,
which violently bombarded Westende,
one of the many little coast towns
which has suffered greatly since the
commencement of the war. Berlin
says this attack is without effect, and
the allies have been repulsed.
In Poland preparations are being
made for a new battle in the series Of
battles. The Russians, according to
'Petragrad, decided to withdraw the
left wing at least and form new
line back in their own territory. This
will relieve Cracow, but compel the
Austro-German forces to fight farther
away from the strategic railways by
which they have so quickly moved
troops.

A CROSS EYED SOUL.
Old Ezekiel Brown keeps sayin'
that his friends are all un-
kind,
But he's just SEEM crooked
through the windows Of his
mind.
No matter where old Ezekiel goes,
he's bound to think he's
sighted.
II he can find some fault with
folks he's sure to be de-
lighted.
He goes around sayin' that this
worlds an awful place,
And when all the earth's a-smil-
tn Ezekiel wears a stern, sad
face.
Always, cen in sunniest wealth
er, Zeke hands out his mourn
full dole,
And I've just about decided that
he has cross eyed soul.
If some one does a favor, think.
in merely to be kind,
Zeke IL shake his head and NUT
ter, "Guess he has an Ak to
grind"
And If new plans for progress
and betterment we seek
They're carefully wet blanketed
at once by Uncle Zeke.
l think this world we're Twin
in is pretty middlin' fair.
But Ezekiel doesn't see the f1ow-
ers. but plucks the weeds
with care.
He never sees the sunshine as
the years exact their toll,
And so it seems to me that he
must have cross eyed soul.

Why Snoring Coats Your Tongue

A coated tongue may be due to snor
ing. You see you cannot snore unless
you breathe through both the nose
and the mouth at the same time. II
Is impossible to snore with the mouth
closed or with the nose closed.
Breathing in through the mouth and
nose at the same time, however, occa-
sions vibration of the soft palate at
the back of the throat. So when You
snore you draw current of air over
your tongue. Being moist the tongue
collects the germs from the air and
not infrequntly produces very heavy
coating Of them during nights sleep.

London, Dec 17.-For the first time

towns; Hartepool, at the mouth of the

London, Dec. 19.-AlthOugh it seems

Social Worship
Indispensable
as the Bible |?
Stanton Colts Recent Service
Book Approved by the Mes
siah Church Pastor.

In the opinion of John Haynes
Holmes pastor of the Church of the
Messiah, New York city, Stanton
Colts recently issued Social Worship
is the most valuable book of the
kind that has ever been published.
Its selection of material from the
great moral and religious literatures
of the world is made with great care,
is thoroughly catholic in spirit and
represents range which is simply
astonishing" he says.
THE Bible, Eastern Scripture, Pla-
to, Milton, Sir Thomas Moore, Shakes
peare, Bacon Goethe, Wordsworth,
Emerson, Whitman, Browning, Henry
George, Huxley. Bernard Shaw, Ibsen,
Zangwill-these are only few of the
authors quoted, but they show at least
the many and wide sources which
have been tapped
Especially helpful is the classified
ton OF these selections and the run
ming summary at the head of each.
The book also contains services for
special occasions such as funeral and
marriage services, and numerous in
troductory and dismlssory sentences
which are exceedingly useful for tire
practical purposes of public worship.
"All in all, | feel that this book is
almost as indispensable to the mod
ern minister as the traditional Old
and New Testament" The Macmil-
lans publish the book.

An admirable and definitive essay

let is revealed in his sadness: and
the sweetness of his melancholy dis
closes the profundity of his thought.
He is often in a cemetery, the graves
of the pauper dead offend him less
than those of the puppets of fashion
who had only a semblance of vivid,
natural life. He confronts reality
with death. This, is the teaching of
his genius. 1t sums up his philos-
ophy.
when the comedians appear to re-
peat the tragedy with him he takes
their part against himself. These
phantoms, suddenly, ,seem to him
more real than he could have con-
WINGED himself by reason, that they
were. He judges their borrowed.
feigned passions as more natural
than his own. Their simulated emo
tions he regards as truer than his
own heart wounds. Indeed, in the
action, to him, they seem more re-
preventative of the truth of life"

Revolution i'm
Religion His
Human Appeal
Book Dealing With the Great
Change Going On in Mems
Theological Ideas.

Professor John Dewey, of Co1um-
bia University, writes as follows re-
garding James T. Shotwell's 1.-The
Religious Revolution of Today" pub
lished by Houghton, Miff1ln Com
pany:
Professor Shotwell's The Religious
Revolution makes an extraordinarily
wide human appeal in its subject
matter and in it's style. The reader
who starts In to learn something
about the great change that is talk
ing place In mems theological ideas,
finds that he is having presented to
him, in suecinct form and by a COM
petent authority, an account of the
intellectual and practical trans
formation wrought in humanity's
progress to civilization from
savagery.
THE book has the wide sweep of
many of the older PHILOSOPHERS of
history, but it's CONGRATULATIONS fol-
low instead of preceding the facts.
Too rarely do historians allow us to
follow them beyond the record of
specialized details to the general con-
illusions that the record suggests
Professor Shotwell has done just this
for us, and done it in a charming
and clear manner.
Few recent books appeal at such
a deep level to intelligent readers.
Few are so well calculated to stimu-
late thought and discussion. Those
who disagree with the main thesis
land there will probably be many
who remain doubtfuD will be quite
as much stirred to profitable thought
as those who are convinced by the
exposition. Both will have had a de-
lightful intellectual experience"

She had found herself. She knew
that she was not going to marry
Appleton, though a parental convoy
took her twice around the world in
his company. Thus absorbed with
the relation of her new self to the
things of. earth, she had not looked
toward Sharp. Her last glimpse of
him as she set out to mend the
broken rod seemed to belong to an
other age. She was conscious of his
nearness. even that his thoughts were
of her; his confident calls above the
surging Of the air. through the planes
and the whir Of the propeller were
still eddying in her ears when he now
spoke in a softer tone. She lifted her
lashes and saw deep into his eyes and
deep into the heart of the man-an

H|LFERS AGAIN
HITS M'DERMOT1

Henry II. Hilfers secretary of the
Essex Trades Council, speaking be-
fore a meeting of that body last night,
declared that the economy and eff
cheney bill introduced by Assembly
man Walter l.. McDermott, of Hud-
son county, was an attempt to place
the State labor department in the
hands of the politicians. Mr.. Hilfers
strongly criticized Assemblyman Nc
Dermott and objected to the bill.
Previous to Commissioner Bryant
becoming the head of the Labor De-
partment of the State" declared Mr..
Hilfers, 1.-The department was a home
for political derelicts. If the economy
and efficiency bill becomes a law the
Labor Department will be In about
the same condition as it was then.
II have taken a decided stand
against this bill because | know that
the members of organized labor are
not in favor of it becoming a law.
Owing to my stand in the matter
Asemblyman McDermott informed
both myself and Arthur A. Quinn,
president of the State Federation of
Labor In Trenton this week that he
would drive us both out of the labor
movement in the State.
'If there were a dozen McDermotts
in the Legislature 1 would not change
my stand in regard to the bill for a
man of the political stripe of Nc
Dermott. l intend to invite this AS
semblyman to appear before labor
organizations throughout the State
and give him an opportunity to carry
out his threat l win particularly in
wife him to appear before the Essex
Trades Council"
An amusing incident happened at
the council meeting last night. Abra-
ham Stiglitz, delegate from the Gar
ment Workers Union, had purchased
new derby hat yesterday. He was
under the impression that he was in
a union shop when he bought the hat.
AS he took his seat at the meeting he
laid the hat on another chair beside
him.
Hugh Glover delegate from the
Hatters' Union, casually picked up
the headpiece and looked for the
union label therein. He found no
union label and he appealed TO the
chairman.
Mr.. Stiglitz was surprised and
started to explain. During his ex-
PLANTATION he turned suddenly, grabbed
what he thought was the non-union
hat, threw it on the floor and stamped
on it. Stlglitz had made another mis-
take, however; he, had demolished
Delegate Glover's hat, which was of
union make. After more explana-
tons and q few never agains" from
Stlglitz, the matter was amlcably
settled.

FIGg a Pledge
of Justice to
the Red Man
DR.. Dixon Gives Stars and
Stripes TO Every Tribe
in America.

DR.. Joseph kossuth Dixon, author
Of THE Vanishing Race" which tells
the wonderful and tragic history of
the American Indian, has recently re-
turned from an expedition to all the
1879 Indian tribes in the United States.
To each tribe DR.. Dixon carried an
American flag, bringing it to them
as a symbol of the new brotherhood
which from henceforward this coun-
try hopes to extend to the red man.
The Indian, says Dr. Dixon, is a
man of mysticism, lover of symbols
Every little change in the inscrutable
face of nature is to him full OF deep
er meaning. The cloud in the sky, the
wind in the grass, the flight of a bird,
the behviour of an insect-all these
tiny and intimate movements on the
World-face are to him as smiles or
froWns. And so DR.. DiXop, in pre-
sent!ng the Stars and Stripes to the
Indians wisely made use of SYM
bolism which proves him no less an
instructive poet than the red man
h mself.
This is the meaning of the Stars
and Stripes as spoken by DIR. Dixon:
1.-THE flag is more than piece of
colored bunting. The red stripes in
it's folds Is symbolized by the red
blood in your veins and mine, by the
red glow in the sunset, by the red in
your ceremonial pipe.
The white stripe finds a symbol
in the white cloud that floats in the
sky, in the white snow that drifts
across the plains, In the purest
thought that goes from your heart
to the Great Mystery.
THE field of blue with the white
stars you may see every clear night
as you look into the great dome
above your heads.
ut is the only flag in the world
that takes heaven and earth and
man to symbolic. This makes out
of it an eternal flag, and we ought
to be eternally loyal to it.
81 therefore dedicate the American
flag to justice, mercy and fair play
to the North American Indian"

Salads and Desserts.

Here are two little books that could
make housekeeping far easier this
summer for innumerable women. zone
Hundred Salads" and zone Hundred
Cold Desserts by Linda Hull Larned,
who wrote 1.-THE New Hostess of To-
day" (Scribner's). In each of these
little volumes the author, who is the
recognized authority In this country
on these subjects. gives the results
of her experience, thought and in
genuity. The 100 recipes for salads
and salad dressings run from the most
simple, for daily use, TO the most
elaborate for entertainment. This is
the case also with the recipes for 100
cold desserts other than ices or ice
creams. They are of great variety,
and extend from those that can be
prepared with very slight expense and
trouble to those more suitable for pur-
poses of entertaining.
