DOES NOT LIKE WAR
For Publishing Letter of Socialist Ger
man Paper Was Suppressed.

The London Standards correspon-
dent at Amsterdam, says that the let
ter from a German soldier, the publica-
ton Of which led to the suppression for
three days of the German Socialist pa
per Voerwarts, was as follows:
ION August IS, we were at Greis-
chelburch and there underwent bap-
tism of fire. There l saw for the first
time the dreadful effect Of artillery.
Hundreds Of men were mown down and
for the first time there came into my
head, Children love one another But
now we are accustomed to it, and that
must be so, otherwise we should not be
able to eat.
Since August 25, we have been in
the neighborhood Of Saint Die. Put
yourself in our conditions. / have not
slept in bed since August 10, nor un-
der a roof since August 16. We camp
in the open air, always prepared for
marching. Our horses have not been
completely unsaddled from August 10,
to September 2.
"One rainy night it happened that
the van in which ! sat fell with the
horses down a steep decline about 100
feet
THE van struck halfway down the
hill between the trees and the horses
and were saved as by miracle. The
next morning we had to pull up horses
and van with ropes.
1T is very annoying not to get any
papers to read, but it is harder to be
cut off from the comissariat. We did
not have a bit of meat from August 16
to 20, nor any bread-nothing but tin
ned vegetables. Bread is scarce. Even
now one receives a large portion at
once, so part gets moldy before eaten.
Then for a long time we do not receive
anything. Wines we find everywhere
in large quantities. Here at Saint Die
we suffer from want Of water, as the
French have cut off all sources.
In the German dailies. it is said, the
French and English prisoners make a
sad impression, but If we were taken
prisoners in our present condition the
description would be Of another ma :
ture. The state of our shoes and gar.
ments is not much better and we hard
~ ever take them of"

FIGHTING LIQUOR
Apathy of Opponents Helps Saloon
People.

People.
IF only drinking men were allowed
to vote on national prohibition, every
saloon in the country would be put ou,
Of business in the next thirty days"
The man who said this recently stood
with his foot on the brass rail and g
glass Of whisky on the bar in front OF
him.
And what do you suppose was the
answer Of the saloon keeper? Here II
Is, exactly as he said it, with hitch
ing up Of his shoulders as he spoke:
why, of course; we all know there
is no argument worth damn in favor
Of booze, except the argument Of the
man like myself who sells it for liv-
ing; but you'll never see the saloon put
out Of business in this country because
the church people don't practice what
they preach. They talk temperance
but they don't work and vote for it, and
we are able to put it over on 'em
every time"
It is fact that the great majority OF
men who drink, whether they drink
little or much, are in favor Of national
prohibition, not only Of the sale, but OF
the manufacture Of liquor and beer
This is because they see enough Of the
inside" of the traffic to know that 1t is
the greatest curse the world has ever
known.
1t is not the vote of the drinking men
that defeats anti Liquor measures; it is
the apathy of the men who never 60
into a saloon-of the churchgoing men
They do not come into direct touch
with the evil that drinking does and
they are too apt to take no part in a
campaign against the saloon or against
whisky control in politics.
1t is an old saying among local op-
tion workers in every campaign: III
we can only get the church men to
come out and vote we will win by a
big majority."
That is going to be the danger this
fall in the campaign now on to down
the control Of the whisky ring in the
government of this county. If the men
who support the churches will come
out and work openly and earnestly
against the whisky ring and for the
County Unit Bill there will be no ques.
ton about the result.
The whisky men know this, but they
are counting on the traditional apathy
of the churchgoers in campaigns of
this kind.-Kansas City Star.

president Of the United States.

president of the United States.
When a young officer At Lee was in
command of the revenue cutter McCul-
loch. The boat was ordered by Pres
ident Cleveland to be used as his yacht
on a trip to BuZzards Bay On the
voyage one Of the worst storms Of the
Atlantic coast swept on the boat. For
several days the little ship fought the
winds and waves, and all over Ameri-
ca it was believed the president was
lost
On the Mccullough, Cleveland was
anxious to return to land, knowing the
fears the country would have and the
important events that might occur,
while he was absent, but At Lee knew
his safety lay in remaining at sea.
Return to land" the president COM
manded. The boyish lieutenant re-
fused.
"As commander-in-c chief Of the sea
forces of the United States, l order you
to return"
The ship was beyond the three-mile
limit
"As commander Of this ship, l am
supreme at sea-" At Lee replied. 1T Is
impossible for us to land" Then, in n
joking way, he went on: Il will put in
irons any one who disputes my author
ity." The president subsided.
When the party finally disembarked
the lieutenant expected dismissal from
service as the least Of the consequences
of his arbitrary action. Instead he was
invited to dinner at the White House.
The president, amused at the young
officers audacity, and knowing that he
was right in refusing to land, had pro-
NOTED him.
When the day came for the attack on
the Spanish fleet at Manila the McCul-
loch was Of the American fleet. AS the
greater warships steamed slowly to-
ward the harbor, the McCulloch was
in the lead and received the first fire
from the Spanish forts which gave the
signal that the American fleet was ap-
preaching.
Lieutenant At Lee was in command
Of the guns on the cutter, and the in
slant the order was received he an
swered the fort, firing the gun person.
ally. Throughout the engagement that
resulted in a memorable naval victory
for the American squadron, Lieutenant
At Lee was in the thickest Of the fight,
and displayed such splendid bravery
and efficiency that he was decorated
with bronze medal by order Of con-
gress.

A FAMOUS CATHEDRAL
Rheims Structure One of the Finest
Products of the Middle Ages.


The cathedral of Notre Dame at
Rheims was begun by Bishop Alberto
de Humbert in 1911 and completed in
just 100 years. 1t was rebuilt to re-
place the earlier cathedral built by
Hincmar, which was destroyed by fire
in 1911. Both were on the site Of the
basilica where Clovis was baptized by
st. .Remigius.
The plan of the structure and the
building of the apse are attributed to
the architect Jean d'Orbais. The great
entrance doorway, with the gallery
above containing the forty-two statues
Of kings of France, was chiefly the
work of Robert de Coucy and was add
ed at the beginning Of the fourteenth
century
The roof and spires were destroyed
by fire in 1881. The building was dam
aged by fire during the French revo-
luton. In 1875 the facade and balus-
trades were repail, 100000 being
expended on the work by the national
assembly. The main facade, the finest
feature of the edfice, is one Of the most
perfect masterpieces of medieval ar
chitecture. Statutes and statuettes,
$50 in ALL lavishly embellish the three
exquisite recessed portals. OF these
the center one dedicated to the Holy
Virgin, is surmounted by a rose win
dow nearly forty feet in diameter, it
self set in frame which is embellished
with statuary.
A fine organ in a flamboyant Gothic
case is in the north transept. There is
unusually fine wood carving especially
on the choir, and the paintings include
specimens of Tintoretto, Nicolas Pous-
sin and others.
Ferguson, the architectural critic,
has written of the great main, or west
ern facade as perhaps the most beau
tiful structure produced in the Middle
Ages"
1t was in the present cathedral that
Joan of Arc after the victories of the
French army, stood beside the dauphin
on July II, 1929, holding the sacred
banner i'm her hand, when the dauphin
was crowned King Charles VII, of
France. A statue of of Joan of Arc by
Paul Dubois was placed in front of the
cathedral in 19O6.-New York Sun.

FOOD FOR WARRING NATIONS
Consideration of the Bread and Butter
Side of Life.

The present war is bringing home to
us in a vivid and impressive way the
fact too often forgotten in time OF peace
of the internationalization Of economic
life. Politically the surface of the
globe is composed Of many units, OF
widely varying size, which sometimes
rub together smoothly and sometimes
do not. Racially, there are other divi-
sions and between them, too, there Is
friction. But economically, in the
bread and butter side Of life, the side
Of industry and commerce and finance,
the globe is no longer group OF sep
arate units, but a single entity. The
political and racial wholes are only
economic parts.
Russia and England, Allies in the
present war, present marked differ
ence. In the industrial scale, great
Russia is rough pig iron, while Eng
land is that iron converted into steel
and then wrought into delicate, eff
cient machinery. But machinery is
while pig iron will stand any amount
Of rough usage. Russia exports raw
materials, the necessities Of other ma
tions-cereals, flax, hemp, timber If
she loses her export trade it will be
heavy blow to the nations she supplies,
but it will not be a blow to Russia. For
the exports only pay for imports, man
ufactures for the most part, which
Russia can do without and still exist.
For Russia feeds and clothes and
houses and warns herself, and doing
so, she can maintain life, war or no
war, whatever happens to foreign.
But not so England. 1t is not lux
uries that she imports, but absolute
necessities. OF the vast total Of the
