1T BOTHERED HIM

While a revival was being conducted
in the First Methodist Episcopal Church
of Englewood (Chicago) one of the con-
verts came to the pastor of the church
for instruction, says the Chicago Her
ald."
:" Mr.. Rader,' said the young man, I
decided to come to church and quit the
stage, but the mems Bible class is going
into the theatrical business. 1t has hired
a theater for it's minstrel show and has
instructed me to blacken up and sing
ragtime. What is your advice?"
And, the report announces triumphantly,
the minstrel show was postponed until

between the armies of Russia and the
Teutonic allies, and has been fought over
many times as the battle lines on the
eastern front have swayed back and
forth.
Henry Sienkiewicz, the great Polish
writer, driven from his home by the war,
thus describes the condition of his coun-
try-men:
"Three-quarters of a million of our
children are fighting in the Russian
army and another three-quarters of a
million are bearing arms of Austria.
I'm the kingdom of Poland alone there
are $4,000 villages burned or damaged ;
a thousand churches and chapels de-
stroyed The homeless villagers have
sought shelter in the forests, where it is
no exaggeration to say that women and
children are dying from cold and hunger
by thousands daily"

SAY ENOUGH

Over 500 bills have been introduced in
the legislature at Springfield in the last
three weeks, and almost fifty per cent.
of the subjects covered have to do with
regulating the business of manufacture
ers and the merchants and business cor
porations Of the state.
A meeting to protest against the en-
actment by the legislature of any laws
regulating business has been called to
meet in Springfield March 30-31, by the
Illinois Manufacturers Association.
The call sent out by the Association
declares that business cannot with
stand another onslaught by the law
makers. Profits have been legislated
out of existence and thousands of men
are out of employment.
'The fires in many plants are out and
others are dimmed by operating partial
capacity Now is the time to pull to-
gether and urge upon the legislature
that another attack on business means
stagnation."
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1915-03-27

The latest reports are to the effect that
the attack is continuing on the inner line
of forts although no details are forth
coming.
A dispatch from Rome says Austrian
and German subjects have been advised
by their consuls to leave Italy in the
shortest possible time. Driven insane
by British artillery fire which moved
down their comrades, 300 German in
fantrymen were taken to an asylum
near Aix-la-C -Chapelle after the battle of
Neuve Chapelle, says a dispatch from
Amsterdam. - Camped in the shadow
of the pyramids and perfecting them
selves for warfare by daily drills in the
ancient valley of the Nile, 100000 troops
from Australia, India, and Egypt are
awaiting the call to go into the trenches.
= More than fifty bombs were dropped
on Paris and the nearby villages during
the raid by German Zeppelins in the
early hours of March 21st. = Italy or
dered on Tuesday last the suspension of
the exchange of telegraphic money or
ders with Germany and Austria, and the
suppression of travelling postofices on
mail trains running to the northeastern
frontier. - Vienna dispatches report
that the Austrian minister of education
has authorized the employment of school
children in the fields where labor is
scarce, closing schools if necessary. =
General Won Bernhard has said that
when the adversaries, with the enor-
nous armies of modern warfare and the
prodigious economic cost keep one an
other in check in an indecisive struggle,
success will ultimately fall to him who
can boast of the highest moral energy;
or, where on both sides the moral mo-
tive are of an unequally high standard,
to him who can hold out longest finan-
cially."

HAS MANY VICTIMS

The appalling extent to which the
drug vice had laid hold upon the people
of this country is shown in the daily re-
ports of insanity, burglary, robbery,
forgery, murder and suicide following
upon the new federal law against the
traffic in habit-forming drugs.
Nor are these pitiable objects of hu-
manity found only in the large cities.
Every little hamlet and country town
bears witness to the terrible body and
soul destroying vice, which claims it's
victims from all classes and conditions
of society.

THE "HOG-MAN"

During the American occupation of
Vera Cruz in 1914, many peculiar oc-
cupations of the native people were dis
covered. One of these pertained to what
was known as the 'Hog-man."
Vera Cruz is city of about $4,000.
One of the oldest cities on the American
continent, having been always used as a
port by ships directly from tropical
countries, infested by malaria, dysen-
terry and yellow fever, with always a
water shortage and unsanitary condi-
tions, the garbage of the city was sold
to one man, who paid $1,000 year for
it and fed it to hogs, which in turn were
sold to the citizens. Thus the people of
Vera Cruz consumed their own garbage
through the "Hog-man" and nothing
was wasted.

EXPORT TRADE GROWS

The establishing of the "war zone"
about the British Isles has not affected
the export trade of the United States as
shown by the Department of Commerce.
According to the statement issued,
February exports rose practically $780,
100000 above the highest shown by any
prior February, being 298,727,757, a
gainst $173,92O,14 145 in February, 1914.
Imports alone show falling off, but
this is explained, not by interference
with vessels carrying supplies, but by
the decrease in the producing power Of
Europe.

SUSPEND NEGOTIATIONS

The negotiations between China and
Japan are suspended for the time being.
According to information given by Sec
retary of State Bryan, Japan is not
ready to make any announcement at this
time. Much of the talk accredited to
the official representatives of these res
pective nations is pure buncombe and is
doing mischief, especially in the Gre
alton, and fostering where it already ex-
lists, of prejudice and unfriendly feeling
between this government and Japan.

WHEN EXPERTS DISAGREE

The word expert" or official gener-
ally carries with it an air of authority
and finality, which leads the reader of
the Daily Neaos to accept gratefully
because unquestioningly, what these
past masters say.
This prop is now unexpectedly kicked
from under by the fiat contradiction of
experts" in the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington.
An expert" gives, in the departments
official bulletin (The Agricultural Out
look) a solemn warning to the effect that
the present heavy exports to European
nations of American wheat and -four
cannot be continued without endanger-
ing the wheat supplies for food and seed
ing requirements at home; and in the
opinion of the departments experts, ex-
portation at the same rate as during
December, January, and February until
the coming of the new wheat crop would
encroach upon normal domestic needs.
Swiftly on the heels of this announce
ment, comes the supposedly expertest
of the experts" Secretary of Agricul-
ture Houston, denouncing the article,
clubbing it "silly' and without any
foundation" The Secretary, to offset
the obnoxious article, has issued a state
ment saying that if conditions continue
as at present there will be no shortage
and no danger of lack of food and seed
as consequence.
But when "experts" disagree, what is
the innocent reader to believe?
