SLEEPING SICKNESS DIFFERS.

II Is now a well-estabshed fact that there IL
a marked difference noted between the sleeping
sickness Of Nyassaland and that OF Uganda The
former IL carried by one form OF the tsetse fly
and IL relatively uncommon among the native
population. and Is not on the increase. The
other form Is carried by another kind of th,.
same fly and Is much more vlrulent and IN
spreading rapidly among the natives. The do
nestle animals are less susceptible and the Wild
animals OF the district seem TO be largely, II not
entirely immune from H. British commission

They Can't and They Can.

The intentional Congress Of Women
decided to send delegates 70 President
Wilson and the heads of European pow
c~s 10 demand" immediate cessation Of
tie war.
This will be a vain waste Of time. effort
and money.
President Wilson can only listen re
spectfully and impotently. and if Euro
pean powers viii not quit fighting De
cause OF the slaughter and exhaustion,
they will not quit upon demand OF
women.
The Congress also issued manifesto
70 all women of the civilized world de-
claring that this must be the last war.
There is strong hope for and poSSloil-
ity Of success in this measure.
In some countries women will take
part, with the ballot, in killing OF war.
In others. they can bring the powers
that be 10 their senses by refusing 10
breed and rear soldiers, course IN which
they are fully justified
a government that treats women
merely as an animal has no rlgnt 10
object if the animal exercises its own
powers.
Civilization shudders with horror over
such propositions as marrying young sol
diers Just before sending them TO death
and polygamy, after the war, as national
policies for the provision of future war
riors.
That sort Of degradation the women Of
can surely defeat.
God grant that the determination OF
women that this be the last war shall
sweep the world and conquer.

For WHAT?
For NOTHING.

For in nine cases out of ten, little
consideration will show that no harm has
been done this sacred honor which is
worth so much to us.
How, for instance, is our honor harmed
by the sinking of the Lusitania?
Who would think the more of US if we
allowed our temper to get the better of
us, and rushed to arms?
England? England has said that there
is no need. The London Star says so
now, specifically.
Germany? Her present unfortunate
feeling against us would turn in an in
slant to bitter hatred.
Acts of violence would threaten our
German-American citizens, and the hon.
or which We FASTENED to vindicate might
be lost irretrievably in one days mad
ness.
Before whom, then, is our honor to be
supported by an appeal to arms?
Not, surely, before God.

President Wilson said, in Philadel-

The president is setting forth a new

fuses to inflict useless injury in return

The New Honor Is the Honor
Which Waits and Is Calm!

What is this preposterous scheme that
Dean Marquis proposes-that We love
our enemies, ana do good 10 those that
do us harm?
On Sunday, when the sunlight, shin
ing through the stained glass, makes
colored patterns on floor and pews, II
sounds good to hear an eloquent orator
talk like that.
II makes US feel great!
But when we get into the open air
once more, and light up. and talk with
our friends, feeling of conservatism
begins to steal over Us.
After all, nobody really believes in hv-
ing that way.
1t wouldn't do at all
Yes, we're Christians, but what did
Jesus know about international rela-
tons?
No; If someone ficks US on the cheek,
bang him on the ear.
Never mind the cost-our honor is at
stake.
The only way in which nation can
defend its honor, once it has been seri-
ously assailed, is by sending its army
and navy against the offending nation,
pile up a big war debt, and turn women
and happy children into widows and or
phans.
