THE war has cost more In another

LUTHERAN SOCIETIES
HOLD MASS Meeting
AT ST. JOHNS CHURCH
Young People of Western
Ohio Gather to Discuss
Their Relation With the
Church and Its Activity.

me second annual group meeting
OF the Association Of Lutheran Young
Peoples Societies Of the Miami Val
ley was held at st. Johns Lutheran
church yesterday afternoon. APPROX
mately four hundred delegates attend
ed from leagues at Dayton. West Alex
andria and New Lebanon.
The session was opened with an ad-
dress OF welcome by the Rev. A. ].
Feeger. He said: 1T has said that
genuine Lutheranism has slight
chances to gather and hold into it's
fold the English-speaking portion OF
our people, especially the young %peo'
pie. We are warned that we shall lose
, our own youth as they become thor
oughly Americsnised. True Lutheran
ism and English.Americanism are con-
sidered incompatible terms. This
splendid gathering of young Lutheran
people disproves the allegation.
Rev. Schiilinger Speaks.
The Rev. 8. Schillinger OF West
Alexandria gave q response, after
a business session followed and a pa
Der, How to Advance the Spirituality
of Our Young People" was read by
Miss Alpha Becker Of West Alexan-

ton OF the Luther League" was READ

Ohio.
The evening session was opened by
the Rev. s. Schillinger. after which
the Rev. o. T. Tressel OF Dayton,
gave an address on Our Young Peo-
Die and the Word of God" Rev. Thes-
sci showed the authority and attrl-
butes OF the Scriptures as the only
source of truth. 1.-THE Scriptures con-
tain tho truth 80 clearly that we real.
" can learn from them," Rev. Trcssel
said, and they ara the only means by
which we can attain faith" Mr.. Tres
sci urged all young people especially
to read the Bible more and to become
more familiar with the Word OF God.
A motion was passed to print the
papers which wera given by the differ
ent leagues in the Lutheran Youth, a
Lutheran publication.

in Europe anyway for the business;
too many armed men. Bismarck said
that the officers in the army are Al
ways supposed to be for war. 1t is the
business Of the civil authorities to
ing.
Strategy must always wait on d.
plomacy. This time it got ahead of
diplomacy. There 10 only one victory
that can come in tbs war. do not see
myself how there can be any victory
in military affairs. do not see how
ference. 1t was from the beginning a
drawn game.
There were half as many men kill
killed in our Civil war.
1t is a hideous fact that nearly every
family in Europe has lost some of it's
best members; that everywhere the
strong and fine have been slaughtered.
military service is gone, a thing that
never happened before in the bloody
history Of the world.
There 10 a victory, the victory OF
peace. Who brought on this war? No
body dare rise up and say; no nation
dare say; no nation did bring it on.
If you can find that any nation brought
it on, we can easil prove that it
was brought on by trickery. 1t wasn't
so in olden times. Alexander the
Great brought on all the wars he could.
"The war will be over sometime.
1t won't be because they are out of
money, because a nation has many
ways of robbing it's people before they
realize they are being robbed. One
way is by indirect taxation. Nobody
knows what he pays until he finds
everything gone.
Another is BY deferred payment.
Just as long as nation can borrow
money somewhere it will continue to
borrow. France in 1913 was the only
nation that would lend money. The
situation was simply appalling. All
the world was short and all wanted to
borrow.
THE cost up to the present time is
as much as all the farming land in the
United States is worth; more than
all the empire Of Russia, all its rail
roads, farms and steppes.

What is the costliest failure? 1t is
fighting war with war. It Is to bring

THE GIRL OPPOSITE

BY Beverly SIauson
iCopyright by w. G. Chapman
Travers was looking backward over
his life, as he sat, revolver in hand,
before the mirror in the upper room
of his closed house, and it was
strange how all the interests Of the
mature mans life narrowed to those
of the boy of long ago.
Pictures flashed across his mental
vision and he saw himself again, a
little boy, standing before that same
window and holding his fathers
hand.
''Why mustn't I play with the little
girl across the street," he asked his
father.
Because this is a Puritan town,
sonny" replied the man.
What does that mean, father"
ASK your mother, son."
But it was long before he learned
that the man across the street was
famous atheist lecturer and Stunned
in horror by the narrow society OF
the little place, whose Ostracism ex-
tended to the loyal wife and the little
girl.
Travers', father had been willing
enough to be friendly with the man,
but it was the women who ruled the
town, and he had shrugged his Shout
ders and gone his way, as the rest
of the men did.
From his window upstairs the lit
tie boy had stared at the girl, and for
hours the children would watch each
other, ignorant of the cause that pre-
vented them from playing together.
Later the little boy had gone to

it was spelled in the old documents

name. AS there are places called Nor

families who bear the name.
