THE TOLL OF WAR
BY Daniel C. Wadhams
Thousands of men, in the cloak of
death,
Have fell on the battlefield.
How many more, must pass away :
Before some power will yield. ~
Thousands of women in anguish and
fear -..
Wait for news from the front
OF the ones they hold dear.
Thousands of homes laid desolate
and bare
In countries that once were
So prosperous and fair,
Thousands of men marching on to
their doom
Let us pray God that the battle ends
soon.

In the meantime, that powerful
force, public sentiment, will be at
work for the allies. Germany is at

The announced Over-subscription of
the allies loan in face of the strong
pro-German opposition is indicative of
two things; this not withstanding that,

banks seem to have been the principal
subscribers and are willing to unload.
Evidently they assume that the in

ELASTIC NEUTRALITY.

owner is decidedly pro-German-or to
be more accurate, anti English-on

iutely partisan and rabid our so-called
neutral" press is waxing.
1t protests against the arrest and
search of Archibald. the dispatch
bearer. in impassioned terms. Of which
this is a sample:
Now, this high handed action
in contempt of neutral passports,
and OF neutral rights OF voyage, is
essentially much more derogatory
to our national self-respect than
anything done by Dumba.
AS England sees At to treat US
and as our government sees fit to
permit England TO treat us. the
protection Of an American pass
port is joke.
Which is all pure rot. Archibald. by
his own silly utterances and his ques-
tionable conduct. aroused the suspi-
cion of the vessels officers. They re-
ported to the British secret service.
The British agents very courteouSly

GENERAL MPOTENCY.

While Christians are Strengthening
Christians, all over Europe, for one
reason or another anti-Christ is in
the saddle in Asia and slaughtering
Christians for the strong and definite
reason that they are Christians.
At any other time, it is beyond Ques-
ton that the whole Christian world
would rise to put down the slaughter
and outrage of Armenians by the
Turks now going on.
Under present conditions Washing
toms best effort seems to be to notify
Turkey that the massacres of Arme-
nian Christians will likely impair
friendly relations between the Amer
lean people and Turkey. although this
threat must by no means be taken
to mean the severance of diplomatic
relations. We're going TO feel badly
about it, but that's all.
The Turks don't care how we feel
and can point TO the fact that q
Christian dead at the hands of q
Christian is just as dead as one
slaughtered by a Turk.
The situation is a very strong OBJ.
