BRIGHTER DAYS AHEAD.

It is a strange turn of fate if the submarine which sent the Arabic to the bottom and nearly brought about a break between this country and Germany has met like fate. The German Admiralty Is of the belief that the British navy has succeeded in doing away with this undersea craft. In such an event there can be no ex- planation in detail of the Arabic case by Germany no punishment of the commander of the submarine. All other German boats on the west coast of England at the time of the tragedy British have hinted at sinking a boat which might have been the destroyer of the Arabic, thus adding credence to the German statement. To all fair Americans the present status of the Arabic case must be satisfactory. The German ambassador strengthens the bends between this country and Ger many when he notifies our secretary
 of state that his government has ac-
 cepted the principle that passenger liners should be warned before attack by submarines, the only bone of con- tention. This grievance removed there can be no chance of friction between the two nations. The written word of Ambassador Van Bernstorff on this policy will seal the friendship that l was near the breaking point.
 It is encouraging to note the friend | ly attitude of Berlin newspapers on l the Wilson attitude. These papers | once bitter in their denunciation of things American, have completely
 swung around and now see that the United States but contended for its
 rights, nothing more or less than 1 Germany would have demanded had
 Germany been the neutral and the
 United States belligerent in the 1 present war, occupying juxtapositions | The German papers now look for 8 1 satisfactory compromise. If the safe 1 and sane attitude can be assumed by all in this country, German sympa
 tnizers, English symrathizers, French
 sympathizers, all, then there need be
 no fear of trouble. For many years l friendly relations have existed between America and Germany and there is nc | man of sound sense in the nation to- day who would wish they were ] broken. And they never will be severed while Germany follows the
 course she has promised to adhere tc
 Tn her international relations. Viewed l iu the light of present day events the
 whole unfortunate occurrence has
 been more of misunderstanding thar
 anything else. Like any other
 episode in the life of man, all who
 were engaged in the controversy | official or non- official, will come out o
 the whole affair better off because o
 1he emotions awakened. If the dis
 ruption makes for the future a united l country, if it goes to cement the
 heterogeneous mass of our citizenry ! into one patriotic people, obliteratint
 the lines of racial hatred, then it were
 well it all happened and the lives tha ! were sacrificed on the Lusitania anC
 the Ara bic have not been in vain.

COMMUNICATED.
Editor Herald:


 Dear Sir-Under the head of Communicated" in your paper Of August 27 you publish a letter signed T. M. Gilmore, but not carrying any indication of the residence of the the writer, which I think deserves little further notice from your read CTS, lnasmuch as it is, in much the same form, appearing in other papers, in some cases followed by the word (advertisement).
 When we realize that T. M. Gill; more is a leading distiller Of Lotus vile, Ky, the head of Ihe Mooel License League" a distillers organl- zation, and one of the publicity com mittee which was granted very large sum for it's advertising work thls year at the recent convention, We Will pos sibly get a little light on the standing of the writer.
 Some of his arguments are, to ssS the least curious; for instance: why not pass officially on the moral fitness of-women to adopt certain styles or dress" What has happened times without number when one sex has "adopted" the style of dress worn by +be other? The police very quickly "nass officially" on it. Then, too, what about "sitting in judgment on the fit ness of his neighbors to select articles of diet'' What would be the result of your neighbor grocer's attempt to sell unfit articles of diet" Your health department would "sit in judg- ment' and sit hard and suddenly, wouldn't it?
 After all the thing I specially wish to call attention to is: that Gilmore, who makes his money from booze, is ashamed to tell his business, and even shies at dating his "communi- cation" from Louisville because of it's notoriety as a whiskey center. His great worry about "the church in ac- tion" is well founded, for not only is the church in all it's branches wide awake, but every factory and mill and shop is coming to be a center of in- formation and interest.
 Safety first and "Efficiency" the two great slogans of the business world today, can never be attained while the "personal liberty' to get drunk, smash machinery, endanger other lives, and become a nuisance generally is allowed.
 Come into the open Tom with your plate matter in the shape of "com- munications' and your fool argu- ments. You told your associates at the national convention that the sa- loon as at present operated was a dis grace to civilization. and we agreed with you. Don't defend it in the hope that you can make the "corkscrew" take the place of the liberty bell in- stead of the "thumbscrew' at which you shudder so terribly.

KINDNESS NEVER FAILS

MEN have always tried to discover new IDEAS,
NI better morals higher principles.
In the Spartan days they looked for health
in the period of the Greeks they sought culture
in the time of Alexander the Great men believed
In wars.
Each system resulted in faiure-they failed
because with their BRUTlSHNESS, their PHYSl-
CAL HOBBY, their ARlSTOCRATIC NOTIONS,
they overlooked one part Of the teachings Of Con
fucius, Moses, Christ and Mohammed-they
missed THAT WHICH NEVER FAlLS-kIND-
