The Adventure

The Adventure.
Our little hearts are Seating
strong
With the divine adventure of life
Every rustic stir OF song,
Every wind a glory Of strife.
Our eyes look out with a young far
hope
And the sunset over the hills draws
near.
But the hills with the rim OF the
world for scope,
Calm-eyed and quiet, look down and
hear.
Our little minds are soaring high
With the divine adventure Of truth;
Every book is a star drawn nigh,
Every thought is the promise of truth
From a passionless world grown pitt
full;
God waits for us at the turn of the
road,
But the hills inscrutably gray and
cool,
Wait leyel-eyed. meath heavens load.
Our little lives, pain wracked or gay,
Speed the divine adventure Of man;
Deeper than scorn indifference lay
On the tranquil hills, since the quest
began;
But mine be the strength, for the
quest is mine,
Mine be failure and painting breath,
And God half guessed in an earth
divine!
For the peace Of the hills is the calm
of death.

Easter is peculiarly religious season. Only
the religious aspect brought 1t into prominence.
Aud yet modern civilization has so operated
as to make Easter essentially the time of fash

the Easter celebration of the religious event.
The interference of the weather operated
this year to lessen the influence of fashion. but

LET GERM END n.

The trouble with Germany from the point Of
view Of the average American citizen does not
lie in the characteristics for which Germany
was proud in days gone by. We admire as
much as any German the scientific spirit, the
spirit thu sturdy bursher citizenship the
sturdy burgber citizenship. the intense national
loyalty and the progressive spirit that ran
through the whole nation
Our grievance against Germany is not that
she had those things. but that she did not stick
to them: that she allowed them 10 Dc subor'
dinated TO the spirit Of selfish aggression. mill
tary supremacy, martial ambition and conse-
quent world war
The Washington Post calls On England 10 stop
the war because she win lose mere by contiuu-
ing than she has already lost. and because she
has the largest amount OF power with the allied
forces.
We call on Germany to end Il, as she started
1t. II England as none q us will deny, Is the
backbone OF the allied forces, Germany is the
whole body of the Teutons. Germany declared
war on England on France Russia-On all
The world that promised 10 thwart her desires.
Had Germany foreseen any opposition to her
program IN America, any strong opposition.
we have not the slightest doubt she would have
declared war on L IS her war and her re
sponsibility She must therefore, end it.
We do not dislike Germany, but do dislike
certain evidences of the German spirit The
nation can do much to redeem herself In the
eyes Of the world by confessIns her mistake

TROOPS OF COLONIES
TERRIBLE FIGHTERS
Sling halese and Turcos Win Renoun
On Battledelde of Europe Bat
Ting for Allies.

Washington. April An a state
ment prepared today the National
Geographic Society tells something OF
the colo iIal troops now on the firing
line in the war in Eukpe. The state
ment says:
Asia. Africa and Australasia have
furnished their quotas of men to tho
firing lines In Europe. Among these
foreign troops that have most dis
tinguished themselves In European
warfare are the French Turcos and
the English Singhalese. This Is tha
irst appearance of the Singhalese up
on European battlefields, but the Tur-
cos have teen employed on the white
continent several times.
Inc SinEhalese are natives OF Cey-
ION. There are, strickly speakingJ
about 100000 of them. They are
members of the Aryan family by Ian
guage. but In blood they are a very
mixed race, though basically they are
of W.T. tie blood. They are descendants
of colonists from the valley Of the
Ganges, who are though to have set
tied In Ceylon about 500 years before
the birth Of Christ
The Singhalese have remained a.
stationary folk since the opening of
the Christian era. Their costumes.
customs and manner OF life are much
the same today that they were more
than 1000 years ago. In appearance,
the men of this people are peculiarly
ereminate. Their bodies are sien Ser

The evidence Of his ada tability to this work
are peculiar and remarkable. For example. the
mere mention of his same to liquorite Is like
fnging red rag TO a wild bull. and the ire
sponsible rage and fury that ensues goes far
to increase and establish his influence with
all good citizens There isn't doubt that the
intense animosity of the liQuortes against DR..
Cannon has gone far TO build up and establish
Iublic sentiment against the saloon. 1t may be
true that he is rather cold proposition per-
sonally, but he Is hot enough when ne gets on
the trail of the liquor!tes and his ability to
tnfuriate them beyond all the limits of sense
1r prudence Is one of the greatest assets which
he brings to the cause of prohibition.

and liberal sentiments. ii is an unfortunate time
