wARLIKE EDITORS REBuKED

tFrom The Gaelic American.)
The editorial howis for war with
Germany. which bad absted some
what after the Luhtania incident,
was renewed with redoubled fury
after tho sinking OF the Arabic. But
tho American people, although shut
out from the press. were promptly
heard from. and the belligerent Pre-
sident and the warlike editors soon
learned that they did not want war
and would not permit It. Many
strong remonsrances. like that Of
Senator Lewis OF Illinois. reached
tho President. handy muzzle was
put on the loquacious Tumulty. and
then Germany was heard from. Ger
many's attitude was 30 correct that
nobody but q crazy lingo could have
the hardihood to talk fight. There
were Few Of the latter. but nopocy
listened to them. except in the case
OF loud bray at Plattsburg. which
provided amusement for the hyphen-
ated Americans"
The warrior editors suddenly tur-
ned right-about-faced. became angels
of peace and expressed qualification
over Mr. Wilson's great diplomatic
victory and Germany's "backdown" {.
What could Hindenburg. Mackensen.

Khaki and scrubbed on their war
paint. the scribes in England's pay
wax indignant at the accusation that
they had been clamoring for war.
Mr.. Charles Noonan. q well known
Irish Nationalist. wrote a letter 10
the Sun on the subject which made
the virtuous and truthful rhaiigner
Of Germany very mad. 1t was type
written under Mr.. Noonan's letter
head. but apparently he forgot TO
sign It. 30 the Sun called II anony-
nous. described It as OF the bipatriot
sort and called for retraction.
Some German conspirator had eyi-

on the epissie without Mr.. Noonan's
knowledge. The Sun has SO many

paragraph OF the letter and waited

help in advancing the cause of better agriculture' and added,
 Recent investigations have clearly indicated that agriculture in America is under-capitalized The very first step in farm betterment required a much larger amount of capital in our agricultural operations than has been utilized in the past half century. Fer tilizers can not be purchased with out money and money can not be ob- tained except through the bankers. Neither can the American farmer buy the best types of domestic animals without money. The real reason in many cases why agricultural improve ment has not been more rapid is be- cause the farmer either has not been able to get money or did not feel jus tified in borrowing at current rates.
 Way Bankers Can Help.
 "The bankers of America then can promote the cause of better agri- culture by cooperating with the agri- cultural colleges, by promoting the locating of county agricultural agents and by loaning money at low rates for the purchase of fertilizers build ing of silos, seeding to alfalfa, pur- chase of registered sires and for alt other enterprises which have been de- m monstrated to be in the interests of a permanently prosperous agricul- ture"
 Somewhat similar points were ad- yanced by H. L. Russell. director of the college of Agriculture of the University of Wisconsin. He devoted. his paper to a discussion of the wofh of county agents and urged increased Agricultural Extension Service by state schools.

 Of Delegates.

<
 Chicago. July 7.--"Get million new members and $1,000,000 for mis- sions, is the slogan of the fifth worlds and twenty-seventh Interna- tional Christian Endeavor convention which opened here today The call for millions was the subject In an address which was to have been read by the Rev. Francis E. Clark, presi- dent and founder of the society He was unable to be present. however, because of illness
 Delegates were urged to enroll a million new church members, a mill lion signers to peace petition and million pledges to make the coun- try saloonless nation by 1920.
 Selection of the next convention city and election of officers was the chief business before the delegates today
 At the meeting of the board of trustees of the society, Karl Lehman, field secretary, reported that $250,- 900 of the $S00,000 needed for a head quarters building in Boston has been raised.
 Christian Endeavor is stronger to- day than ever before in it's history said Mir. Lehman. China is facing the greatest spiritual awakening she has ever known. In India, Korea, Af- rica, in every mission field. we find there is a new and growing interest in religion. Africa has the largest Chris tian Endeavor society in the world II

strikes twice in the same place pro bably the safest cover you could find in case of another bombardment of Ypres would be to sit in the bottom of one of those craters. Another bombardment would seem as bootless as failing as last years straw or kicking dead dog. However the Germans keep on throwing shells into the wreckage at intervals as if they could never be satisfied that they had properly finished the job of chaos Every standing wall was clipped with shrapn If there was a house which looked from the outside as if it were unhit, it would be found that it had been eviscerated by shell through the roof.
 One Figure Bent.
 Yet only enc of the figures of that golden clockface had been bent and three out of the four turrents hold their place untouched in relief against 8 genial afternoon sun of June above the desolaaon of that dead city.
 Well. what do you think of Ypres as a place of residence ?" asked an officer who rode by.
 Pretty rotten." the visiting corres- pOUueUL TepUSO.
 "I know one that Is rottener,' he replied with a suggestive nod bacn toward the trench line beyond Ypres.
 Turrets Holding Out.
 Were the turrets still holding out The visitors could report that they were. To the German gunners they must be like the high apple on the tree that will not come down for all the small boys stone throwing Tt must have cost about two hundred housand dollars in shells to destroy Ypres by manufactured piecemcel earthquake and it will cost several millions to restore it.
 Occasionally father of family who had to leave the town during the bonn bardmcnt is able to secure a cart and permission to return to the sal !. wage of the remains of his house He finds that nothing has been disturbed except by shell fire. Ypres is for bidden bad lands where no one may go except on military business In a sense 1t is policed too in the same way as a rattlesnake's nest. The citizen who goes to glean a mattress, a bureau and the family Bible from the debris of his roof takes time to see if the turrets and the clock face of the old Cloth Hall are still holding out.
