Religion Is optional. We may or

heed the message Of God, but we may
reject 1t. Our religion must be bossd
upon faith in Jesus Christ and this
should be the principal thing in lie.
Our worldly business should be q
means unto an end. We should not be-
come SO interested in secular life as
to crowd out the religious. The two
central factors in the lives of men and

day or two ~ the guest of the French
battalion commander. who showed him
roxnd the trenches and gave him all

stay with the French company com
manders and subalterns, and after that
the relief was effected.
The relieving battalion had sent out
guides a few days in advance to learn
the way up through the communities

The French must have spent days
In kind OF spring cleaning OF their
trenches. They were neat as pin.
Indeed. the trenches in the new British
line generally excel anything seen
along the rest OF the front in the way
Of comfort. The trenches are floOred
with brick and lined with branches Of
facines kept in place with rabbit net

PARALY zED BY War

BERNE. Dec. 6.-!tal!an commerce
and industry has been paralyzed by
the war. Reports arrived here state
the formerly enormous export Of lem
ons and oranges from Salerno and
other provinces is practically stopped.
Lemons which last year brought four
dollars a hundred pounds now find no
buyers at one dollar and are even Of
Tered at IS cents. Since all exports to
Germany has been forbidden England
is about the only customer Of Italy, but
the British buy their lemons and or.

there. An effort was made to reach
the markets Of Holland, Denmark, Nor.
way and Sweden with the aid of Dutch
and Scandinavian steamers, but the
English and French would not tolerate
this.

In comments on Henry Ford's peace
plan in Berlin it is frequently stated
that King Alfonso OF Spain will be a
more acceptable intermediary than
any American. While the United States
is hated for its large supplies of war
munitions sold to the allies. the Span
ish monarch is liked better every day,
1t is thought here that Alfonso has
been absolutely neutral and fair to
Germany. The impression prevails
that when the psychological moment
arrives. Spain will stand better op.

by the Rev. Billy Williams, drum

WAR SECRETS.
TORTURED BY HIS ASSASSINS
Dead Man Lived in Community OF
SIavs and His Pro-German Utter

NeiQhbors.

Gary, Ind, Aug. 27.-Out of mass
of evidence two theories developed
in the investigation of the assassina-
tion of Rev. Edmund A M. kayser.
the Tolleston (Ind.) pastor. Kayser
was shot twice while in his study on
Tuesday night.
The first, and, the police think,
more plausible solution of the mys-
terious murder is that the pastor was
the victim of fanatical protagonists
of the allies because of his pro-Ger-
man utterances.
The second theory finds it's founda-
tion on the fact that the clergyman
had become involved in a factional
fight in the Evangelical Lutheran
church, of which he was pastor, and
had received numerous threatening
letters as result.
These letters have been the subject
of an investigation by post Office au.
thorities for several weeks. They
charge that Kayser was too friendly
with two woman members of his con
gregation.

of which Tolleston is suburb. de
clared he had both women and the
writer of the letters under surveil
