ALLIES WORK
TOGETHER

Montgomery Schuyler, who has
been much in Russia since the out
break of the war says in the Ne"
York Times.
General Joffre is directing the
Russian drive. Brusiloff is acting on
orders from the French Commander
in Chief.
The Baltimore Sun in commenting
upon this statement says it is this
feature of the present movement Of
the allied forces that distinguishes
it from all which have preceded it.
For the first time since the war be.
gan the armies of France, England,
Russia, Belgium and Italy are act
eng as unit. For the first time the
central position of Germany and Aus
tria promises to be of little use tc
them. For the first time there is
comparatively little to be gained by
the shifting of troops from one front
to another. Brusiloff is acting unde,
Joffre's orders. So is Haig. Kitch-
ener, when ne met his death, was
doubtless en- route to Russia on SONS
synchronizing errand. Out of many
has been made one. Germany has
withstood the onslaughts of her sepa-
rate foes. Can she withstand their
united assault?
She has done so marvelously here
tofore that it would be reckless
prophet who would dare say, even now
that she cannot.

CHARMING
PASTORAL STORY

Tom Paine, in his coarse way 0.
saving everything attempted to maxi
snort of the Book Of Ruth. 1t did no
appeal to him, although it is gen
orally admitted that it is brief ant
beautiful story of oriental pastora
lifeH Paine endeavored to question
the character Of the Moabitish dam
sci, who was one of the progenltres'
ses of the Saviours of Mankind. He
tells, in his way, of her return to
the land of her birth, which she was
forced to leave by famine, as young
and enterprising widow.
A century ago Paine's age OF
Reason" was read by many, especial
ly those who sympathized with the
French revolution. 1t is seldom read
now. There is, in fact, no argument
in it worth refuting. But the Book
of Ruth is as enjoyable to US as it was
to the ancients.
A perusal of this brief story will
IL us all good, as it portrays guile
ess persons. There is one passage
which might be read with profit in
our day, when there is too often
friction between employer and en-
ployee. 1t is as follows:
"And behold Boaz came from
Bethlehem, and said unto the reap
ers, The Lord be with you. And they
answered him, The Lord bless thee.
The Christian Herald in speaking of
this charming story says:
The book of Ruth is the greatest
pastoral idyl in literature. 1t is
founded on loving kindness, the low
ing kindness of the Moabitess reveal
cd to her family, ad the loving kind
ness of Boaz, the wealthy 1sraelite,
to Ruth his kinswoman. 1t also con-
tains the germ of that great heart
edness which is the center of the Cos
pei Of Christian love. 1t is a book
that opens with tears and famine and
ends with the sound of wedding bells.
The story turns upon the straight
forwardness of Boaz, who showed
kindness and manliness to Ruth,
member of a nation that was lsraePs
foe, and in that kindness founded a
new house, the house of Jesse and
David, the royal line that begat a
greater than David. 1t was the first
mingling of the blood of the Jew and
Gentle, symbolic of the cosmopolitan
width of the Christian religion. 1t
was the sign that that religion was
not to be founded upon wealth. or
upon social caste, but upon the large,
wholesome love of the human heart.
Boaz is immortal among Bible
heroes for his kindness, his plain,
everyday generosity his sense of pro-
lection and care for the lonely, I'M
protected Moabitish girl, his dead
kinsman's wife, who in her poverty
CLEANED in his harvest field after the
reapers. Boaz gave order to his reap
ers that they should allow her to
CLEAN even among the sheavcs of
barley, ard by his large-heartedness
gained wife, and, more than that
made place for himself in that i'm
mortal company who are renowned
for naught but for being kind.

CAN THE KAISER
ELECT a PRESIDENT?

Declaring that President Wilson's
reelection is impossible" the New
York Herald volunteers this eXpla.
nation: mo matter whether German
Americans are justified in their oppo-
sition TO Wilson or not, the simple
fact Is that the latter cannot obtain
their votes"
Does ii follow, asks the New York
World, that Mr. Wilson will be de-
feated because the German vote is
against him? The American vote may
have something TO say about the No
vember election. We are aware that
the professional Germans in the Unit.
ed States will vote the way Berlin
wants them to vote, but Berlin may
not control majority of the electoral
college. Before the campaign is over
the contest is likely to reduce itself to
one simple issue: Can the kaiser
elect president in the United
States?" The Republican leaders are
trying TO evade this issue, but they
must face 1t squarely before election
day.
a staff correspondent of the New
York Sun, who was in Berlin during
the recent diplomatic crisis between
Germany and the United States, de.
scribes the German attitude toward
the presidential campaign in this
fashion:
They are naturally intensely inter
ested In the coming presidential nomi
nations and show a grasp of our poll
tical situation which Is surprising con-
stdering the few American papers in
Germany and the CARRIED versions that
the English papers give.
Many OF them agree absolutely with
the Munsterburg theory that the Ger.
man-American vote will decide tbe
coming election, and rather than re.
elect Wilson the Germanophiles
wouldn't hesitate even at Roosevelt
In spite OF his exaggerated Mysteries
and highly colored remarks about the
Germans"
German leaders I'm the United States
publicly advocate the nomination of
Justice Hughes for their first choice.
but there can be no doubt that Berlin
prefers almost any Republican TO
president Wilson, or almost any Dem.
ocrat for that matter. Having failed
TO control his administration in tho I'm.
terests OF Prusian autocracy, the Ger.
man propaganda will now employ all
Its political power in the United States
TO defeat the president as a warning
TO future American statesmen that the
welfare Of the United States must not
De placed above the welfare of the
German empire by the government OF
tais country.
