Just This Little
Prayer on Behalf
Of the Wee Tots

Harrisburg's Society for Provid-
ing Pure Milk for Babies, the Visit
ing Nurse Association and other
Observation-Disclosures and organizations
who want to help baby over the
hot months endorse the prayer
written by Walter RaudeRbusch for
the Boston Milk and Hygiene So
ciety in baby's behalf. Here is the
prayer:
God. since Thou hast laid the
little children into our arms in
utter helplessness, with no protec-
ton save our love, we pray that the
sweet appeal of their bay hands
may not be in vain. Let no inno-
cent life in our city be quenched
again in useless pain through our
are mothers or fathers seek
eagerly to join wisdom to our love,
lest love itself be deadly when un-
guided by knowledge. Bless the
doctors and nurses, and all the
friends of men, who are giving of
their skill and devotion to the care
of our children. If there are any
who were kissed by love in their
own infancy, but who have no child
to whom they may give as they
have received, grant them such
largeness of sympathy that they
may rejoice to pay their debt in
full to all children who have need
of them.
Forgive us, our Father, for the
heartlessness of the past. Grant us
great tenderness for all babes who
suffer. and a growing sense of the
divine mystery that is brooding in
the soul of every child. Amen.

Frontiers-Some Possible
Changes.
LONDON, Sept. 20.

LONDON, sept ~.
Austin West. correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, in discussing possible
changes of frontiers when the war is
| over, has the following to say under a
Milan date line:
LAS for likely changes in the map of
the world at the end of the war, / think
1t probable that Great Britain will take
over the German colonies, giving Spain
and Portugal share therein. as a re-
ward for their neutrality.
Russia will limit her demands to
Galicia, at the same time settling guar
antees for the entire independence of the
four Balkan States. Since Russia has
no interest in the Adriatic problem and,
with Italy, she will not offer opposition
TO an Italian protectorate over Albania.
In addition there will be a rectiticatiCn of
Italy's northern frontiers on a natona!
racial basis.
II think France will resume possession
of Alasce-Lorraine, ana the Palatinatc,
while Austria will remain German
State and form part of the Germanic
confederation.
This will raise the question whether
the German Emperor shall be merely
King of Prussia or also King of Austria.
1t seems to me quite unlikely that the
United States will intervene. and if
Sweden should assert herself on behalf
Of Germany she would tind her action
neutralized by that of Norway and Den
mark"

MILE IN AIR, AVIATOR SAW
WOODS SHOT TO RIBBONS
Member of British Corps Describes
Engagement of Great Battle.
LONDON, Sept.

LDN DON, sept. ~.
A letter from an officer of the Royal
Flying Corps, under date of September
Z, describing a view from an aeroplant
of the battle eastward of Paris. says
Yesterday i was up for reconnais-
sancc over this huge battle. | bet it
will be remembered as the biggest in
history. 1t extends from Compeigne
right away to Belfort.
1--WE flew at o'clock in the evening
At that time the British guns all opened
fire together. From height of 5000 feet
I saw n sight which hope it will never
be my lot to see again. The woods and
hills were literally cut to ribbons all
along the south of Laon. 1t was mar
veous, watching hundreds of shells
bursting below one to the right and to
the left for miles. and then to see the
German guns replying.
Il fear there will be lot more awful
fighting before this show ends. but we
are certain 1t will end with us on top,
although we all had our doubts about
three weeks ago during that awful re-
treat"
Writing again on September 10, the
officer says:
The huge battle still is going on. Our
machines after being out all day still
bring in the same news. The Germans
have got into one of the strongest posi-
tions possible. Fortunately, reinforce
ments are arriving and are coming up
on the German right at scissors.
IT simply crave for cigarettes. They
need TO be carefully disguised though
or they will be stolen en- route
The officer mentioned that the aero
planes are shot at and shelled by friend
and foe every time they ascend. They
hardly ever descend without bullet holes
all over the planes. but fortunately, the
writer says the flying corps lost only

kinds are accumulated.
Herds of cattle are driven some dis
tance in the rear of each army corps

consumption of each army corps is 100

AGENTS OF KAISER
REPORTED WORKING

Spies Said to Be Mingling
With High War Officials.
Their Work Scomed by
Military Expert.

LONDON, Sept. 30-The charge that
Germany has sent hundreds OF spies into
England to move in the best society and
mingle with those close to the Admiralty,
War Office and Foreign Office was made
today by the Times in an article by It's
military expert, Colonel Charles Reping-
ton.
This article and the charges which the
Times makes follow closely the first ref
erences of First Lord of the Admiralty
Winston Churchill to German lieuten-
ants, who have been living in England
for years and who now are taking ad-
vantage of British hospitality to spread
their nets of espionage"
According, to Colonel Repington, Eng
land has been infested with German spies
for years. but there are more here now
than ever before, and the German Gov
ernment is Offering high pay to men and
women of education, culture and COM
manding appearance who can mingle with
officials OF the British Government in
the highest circles of society
In part Colonel Repington says
THE most dangerous of these spies
are not the ieutenants, but highly placed
persons who move in good society and
also in the realms of finance The Ger
man system extends to all classes.
Twenty years ago some of our officers
came into touch with the German in
telligence service and learned great
deal about it. Even at that time the net
was large and was so widespread that IL
extended even to America. where agents
acted i'm the guise of business men.
Despite its fervid activity / have not
very high opinion of the German in
telligence system. The failure OF this
department to learn until August 20 that
there was British army in France Is
the best proof of its incnpa CITY"
