literal minded once thought OF hell as
a place OF fiery torment prepared by
an offended God for the future punish
ment OF evil-doers; we know that IL is
an experience of suffering involved in
the very structure of our natures,
which begins here and now, and is
an expression OF divine love. The suf-
fering of which men think when they
think of hell is OF today; IL waits for
no future, it begins now, and it will
continue until the offender is purified.
The issue which every man must
face is precisely what II was when
Christ faced il in the wilderness: Shall
man save his soul? Words and sym
bols have changed, but the battle OF
life is as inevitable, as fateful as des-
perate, as it was a thousand years ago.

IN LENT THE OLD FIGHT

Society has become partially Chris
tanned, there is now no authority on
earth which can compel men TO choose
between loyalty and their faith and
death; there are no longer pagan gods
to whom Christians must offer sacritic-
es or go into the arena. There are
martyrs in every country in the world,
but martyrdom is no longer dramatic
ed; the victim dies after long suffer
ing hidden from the world
There is no longer a place of tor
ment luridly pictured and of visible
and haunting terror; and many people
seem to think that there is no longer
any hell, and that men can now live
as they choose. with no thought OF a
broken law, a righteous judge, and an
unacceptable penalty impartially inn
posed and inevitably borne. And yet
what men call hell place or state of
remorse, or moral degeneration, of
agony of mind and body, was never so
obvious and tragic "A reality as today.
1t Is no longer necessary to open
Dante's Inferno" to find it; ii is
only necessary to unfold the morning
newspaper. Its first page is crowded
with reports of the misery which fol-
lows fast and sure on every violation
of the laws of life. Disease and death

THE AMERICAN LEGION

An organization of 100000 or 30O,-
900 men who have had military train
ing Is not an impossible thing in the
United States. They would not be en-
listed for regular army service, nor
for regular militia service. None the
less they could be made, under proper
direction, and owing To their past ex-
periences, a very mobile body of
troops ready for action at short no
tice. The plan, as formulated after
several conferences in New York
seems comprehensive enough, In
these meetings the government may
be said to have been represented by
Maj. Gen. Wood, in command Of the
Military Department OF tIie East. who
was authorized TO participate in the
discussions. Commander Robert H.
Crank OF the navy has been repre-
senting that side OF the lighting es-
adjustment.
Approximately 5000 men are dis
charged from the United States army
annually. The great majority of such
men, those discharged even as long as
ten or fifteen years ago, are still in
the prime of physical manhood. Ii
would not be impossible we think, to
find a quarter million such men in the
country now. Joining the proposed
organization which would be called the
American Legion. would be voluntary
Not all the availables would care to
join, but il is easy to believe that the
very great majority of them would,
and that, with annual accretions,
reserve army OF 300,0 men could be
created. The same appeal would be
made to men honorably discharged
from the navy to fill the compliments
of crews in time of war A naval
reserve force of scores Of thousands
could be created in this way.
The government would, OF course,
have To arm the men and equip them
in time of action. The scheme APP
pears to have been well thought out
in all of its details. Its central idea
is the one of having at all times sub
ject to instant cali. large body of
men trained not only in military serv-
ice, but, as the statement makes plain,
in the very important military art of
a man taking care of himself in the
open" And this would include, as we
it, not only discharged
soldiers, but any class of civilians
whose service would be valuable in
war The plan, as 1t is reported. has
no suggestion of militarism in it.

ST. PATRICK's RETURN

| Anyone on the west coast of ireland
will tell you that some day st. Pat
rick is coming back to Ireland, the
| land he loved. No one says when
that day will be, although there is rea-
son to believe that il will be on the
| day Of the final judgment OF the world.
Whether or not his return is desir-
able depends altogether upon the
point of view of the teller of the
prophecy II he he gloomy pes

Patrick can't come soon enough. God

st. Patrick, probably equaled by no
other country in the world in its rela-
ton TO patron saint; and so IL is
that the prophesied return of the mis-
sionary TO the isle has had a his
toric bearing upon certain of its char
acteristics and events, so that even
the passing OF the home rule bill has
met in certain remote districts Of Ire
land with the turn OF phrase. IF ST.

And, indeed if st. Patrick were ii

so many centuries ago he would find
some marvellous changes wrought by
the early years of the twentith en-
fury For Ireland has been passing
through a peaceful revolution and its
results would be even more apparent
to a watchful patron than they would
be TO the average observer.
The revival of the Irish language
has history of tremendous interest
to the student of craftsmanship. the
system of summer schools for stu
dents in the districts where the irish
language was still living language
has been strikingly successful and has
done much to break down the section
alism of Ireland.
Although the passage of the home
rate bill through the commons is nomi-
nally the most important event in the
history of Ireland in the past two dec
AIDES, nevertheless the student of
Irish history recognizes that the
measure is merely the elimination of
Ireland's struggle to maintain her
nationality. And should st. Patrick
come back 10 Ireland he would find

Bridge for New Orleans.

II seems that the project of a bridge
over the Mississippi near New Or.
leans, first proposed in 1888, Ia TO be
put through. The original design was
for crossing about four or I'VE miles
above New Orleans, whssv NO change
OF bed or banks has occurred in the
recorded history Of the river. The span
of the cant11ever bridge was to be l.
070 feet between centers of main
piers, the suspended span being
44o feet long and the anchor arms
each $50 feet inches in length. The
foundation we're to extend to ITO feet
below water and were to rest on a
bed of frm sand. The piers were to
be sunk by dredging through open
wells or cylinders. The present plan
calls for a double bridge, one deck for
highway and electric railway travel,
and the other for railway service
