The menace. [volume] (Aurora, Mo.) 1911-1920, 1914-10-10

The Protestant Magazine certainly pricked the
bubble with its practical and most reasonable
proposition. II the papists are able 10 produce
the goods, why dodge the test7 Here Is much
and long mooted question over whether the holzus-
pokus mumblsd by the priest really changes the
conSecrated pancake into the very body and the
wine into the real blood and here is the scientific
means Of settling the question for all time.
II the priests are really able 10 effect the
change. they have everything to gain by the dem
onstration. II they can do IL, science and schis-
mates will have 10 bow their heads in shameful
defeat and forever hold their peace II the mir
sculous Transformation is once established by
scientific demonstration, Rome has the world at
her feet with every enemy vsnquished Why re-
jeot great an opportunity II able TO make good?
Rome's reply is characteristic and, TO the mind
possessed OF common sense Is conclusive evidence
that the absurd claims Of her priests are not only
blasphemous but are not believed by the priests
themselves When did II become "outrageous"
and "diabolical" and vicious" TO test bread and
wine by means Of chemistry In what way could
the discovery that they had changed be displeas-
ing 20 deity especially when such q discovery
would mean so much TO millions Of people search
ing for truth and right?
The holy-hotness with which the proposition is
scorned means more than pious Jealousy IL
means that the priests OF Rome have for centuries
been preaching and teaching q deliberate lie for
the sole purpose Of imposing upon the credulous.
Il is an admission that they are totally unable TO-
perform q miracle which they profess to perform
repeatedly as q necessary part OF human salvation
It is useless for them to shout blasphemy and
hurl epithets. The burden Of proof is upon them,
and by the rejection Of this opportunity to prove
their power and justify their extrsyagant asser-
tons they stand self-condemned as mountebanks
and imposters. Whatever The Protestant Magazine
may claim to advocate 1t is plain 70 every mteiii
gent reader that In this II is advocating moth
ing more or less than legitimate use OF common
sense. There is no use for The Monitor to below
and paw the air. Such exhibitions are not so i'm
pressive as they were in the dark ages. There are
millions of Americans, not living in Missouri, who
reasonably ask to be shown, not TO be bullied
But, believing that even presumptuous priest
should have more than one chance 70 repent from
rash rejection Of the reasonable, The Menace has
another proposition. We believe in giving the
sooth-sayers and jugglers Of Rome every chance
to make good. Therefore, we offer a slight varia-
tion in test that might in some particulars be
more acceptable.

NJ. RENAUD GOES TO WAR
Famous Baritone Of the Paris Opera

Army.

A tall, handsome man, hair snow
white, face clean shaven, aged about
ffty-fve years, carefully but simply
dressed, walked into the antechamber
Of General Michel, military governor
of Paris. Handing his card to the
orderly at the door he asked that 1t
be sent in to the general. A few
minutes later young officer appeared.

What can I do for you, M. Renaud?'
asked the general.
II wish to go to the 'front.'" was
the b~arytone's calm response. .
There was a moment of silence.
Then General Michel took M. Renaud
by both hands, saying: my friend, j
congratulate you. May you do your
self and your country honor"
Next day Maurice Renaud started
at FIVE in the morning for Verdun In
the uniform Of a private soldier
Renaud, the elegant, the debonair. He
didn't have to go, but he wanted to
atone for a foolish youthful escapade
which caused him to eyade part OF
his military service many years ago.

finding themselves at daybreak be-

eral thousand Frenchmen and a High
land regiment had passed down their
lines, and the Kings Own were TAX
ing breakfast when the German ar.
tillery doomed forth. Several shells
fell in the vicinity OF the trenches
without doing much harm, but the
enemy's artillery was much superior
in numbers to that of the allies, and
they poured a raking shrapnel fire be-
fore the English guns began to speak.
There was no doubt, either, about the
enemy range finding, and under cov
er Of the guns the enemy came in the
proportion Of six to one.
Men were moved down like nine
pins by the bursting %shrapnel, and it
seemed as if the Kings Own had been
singled out by the special fury Of the
onslaught. Colonel Dykes fell at an
early stage Of the engagement while
shouting encouragement to his men.
Fighting continued furiously until
half-past nine. Then there was a
lull, and the enemy, seemingly re-en-
forced, made good their advance and
another five hours desperate conflict
ensued.
Brilliant Bayonet Charges.
The allies fought the advance inch
by inch, fighting becoming SO close
that the Kings Own got home with
several dashing bayonet charges, one
Of the most brilliant Of which was
led by Clutterbuck, formerly a ranker
Of the Yorkshire light infantry, who,
with a handful Of men routed four
times the number under his command.
He paid the price Of his gallantry
with his life, but the casualties to his
men were singularly light. The SER

Lleutenant's Glorious Death.
Then" continued the sergeant,
there was Lieutenant Steel-Perkins,
who died one Of. the grandest deaths
a British officer could wish for. He
was lifted out of the trenches wound
ed four times, but protesting, crawled
back again till he was MORALLY
wounded"
Proceeding, the sergeant said: 1.-THE
first man knocked over was one Of
the most popular Of the Rugby foot
ballers in the Dover garrison. He was
shot through the mouth.
"A German aeroplane which came
over our position on the day preced-
ing the battle was accounted for; as
sailed by q shower of bullets from
more than n regiment, Its recon-
noitering career had a sudden stop.
The enemy swooped down on US so
quickly at the finish that we were un-
