The Brutality of War.

The war in Europe is out of the ordinary
in MANY of its phases. One of them is the
bitter hatred felt by some of the combatants
toward certain of their opponents. This is
markedly true in regard to German animos-
ity for Great Britain, and vice versa, and
it has been responsible for some wierd spec
tacles during the two years of the war. But
in no instance have these two participants
displayed less enlightened judgment than IN
their effort to hurt each other by refusing
Red Cross service to the cripples they are
making.
The new regulations that prevent the ship
ping of Red Cross supplies through the lines
is recognition, however, of the essential bru-
tality of war. The first purpose of war IS
to kill and MAIN the enemys soldiers This
thought is so terrible when stripped naked,
as it is in these orders against the Red Cross,
that it could not have been exposed before
the armies were raised.
Red Cross supplies are of such nature as
to be solely instruments of mercy to the
wounded and dying. They save some lives,
and others they soothe during the last few
moments of agonzed existence. They are not
of kind that could possibly give comfort to
an enemy except that comfort which would
seem to be gladly welcomed by the common
est attributes of decency and Humanitarian
ism.
Still, there are a lot of people in this. coun-
try who want it to engage in war.

History Upside Down.
From the Atlanta Georgian.

History turned upside down with a ven
You read that 10000 Turks are camped
on the Hungarian plains to defend Hun
gary against Western Europe.
Not so long ago, in one of the most i'm
portant moments in all history, it was the
Hungarians, fighting with desperate cour-
age under noble leadership, who turned
back the Turks, and saved Western Europe
from Mohammedan rule. War makes queer
companions.
The Japanese that were fighting Russia
a little while ago are now sending their Off
GERS to direct the use of the Russian guns
against Germans. African savages that the
French recently conquered are fighting now
with French weapons in their hands. India,
subdued by England, is fighting side by side
with English soldiers to make English rule
permanent
And most striking of all to a student of
history, now on the plains of Hungary TO-
900 Turks stand to protect Hungary against
Western Europe on the very spot where
Hungary once protected Western Europe
against the Turks.

Today's Poem
THE LABOR GANG

(By b. f. M. Sours)
With the humps of the hills, and the
forest trees,
The creek and the mountains and
all,
With the glad heart and strong we
tote plank altng
Or, with hearts as light as our arms
are strong,
On the ladders we scale the wall.
We bump our heads on the sprinkling
pipes
In the loft where the timers are;
We don't mind that, if we spoil a
Our heads are hard, and it's good
they are,
For it saves a mental jar.
We're white sometimes, we're black
sometimes,
A smutty, greasy gang,
As with Uncle Jake we fix break,
Or a happy hour, for a change, we
take,
Some smeary shaft to hang.
It's merry life, it's a jolly crowd,
That Jugs and Jugs all day;
For health is wealth and this life is
health,
Though the years may bring-but
they bring by stealth
The subtle s.reaks of gray.
But why should we not be happy lot
If our hearts are pure and strong?
If we bring Christ the King loves
offering,
Be it Juggling plank, yet our hearts
may sing
Till heaven hears our song.
For the Master wrought, in Galilee.
In more than one work-gang,
And burdens bore till arms were sore,
All, yes! my sins for me he bore,
And doubtless, too, he sang.
Go, trudge along, with heart Of song,
Be glad, you dusky crowd,
We putty wind 1w-panes and sing
And pound, It's our hearts Offering.
Unto the heavenly King.
With the onward march of civiliza-
ton more opportunities arise for men
to make fools of themselves.

Duchess Apples With Onions
A most appetizing dish is this: cut
in small pieces, after peeling, half
dozen green duchess apples; cut three
onions in slices and put into an omelet
pan with little fat from salt pork;
cook until the onions are light yell
low, then add the apples and sufficient
water to cook them without burning.
AS the apples are quite tart, a little
sugar improves the dish as to flavor
and looks, as it browns better with
tn esugar. Season with salt and
serve hot as as an accompaniment to
pork chops.
French Custard.-Beat three eggs
until light; add one pint of whipped
cream, sweetened and favored to
taste. Serve in tall glasses with

Score One for Prohibition in Maine
When the warships were in the
harbor of Portland, Maine, over g.
900 sailors were in the city on ten
days land leave of absence. During
that time not sailor was arrested
and not a sailor came in contact with
police officer. There was not an
indication of drunkenness in public
on the part of these boys while they
were in port.
No liquor to dealers may be ship
ped over the government railroad in
Alaska. The prohibitive order is

Commission.

British Columbia -. June Both, 1917
The Yukon Territory July 18th, 1916
quebec ..............
In the first named five provinces
the acts prohibiting liquor-selling
have been finally passed.
In British Columbia and the Yukon
territory the dates given are the lat
est dates on which liquor-selling
places will operate, provided the pro-
hibitionists win-as they are practic-
ally certain to do-in the voting that
will shortly take place.
In Quebec province only, prohibit
ing legislation has not yet been pass
ed, but public opinion will undoubted-
ly compel it very soon.
The prohibition includes all retail
liquor selling, except in Saskatche-
wan, in which there are still twenty
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS liquor shops.
In Nova Scotia, prior to the date
named, retail liquor-selling was law
full only in Halifax.
Newfoundland also will finish up
her licensed liquor-selling on Deem
Der 81, 1916.

In a Tight Place

That woman suffrage is an ally of
prohibition the liquor interests every
where believe. They show this belief
by their works. Not long ago the
Brewers Journal, urging separation
of the beer and whiskey interests, re-
cognized the enmity between the
women of America and the liquor
traffic thus:
"The franchise will be extended to
all women in this country some day.
There is little doubt about that. With
in few years most of our large and
industrially developing states will
grant the vote to the opposite sex,
and where will the brewing business
be then if it is still considered to be
in alliance with the distillers and
whiskey-selling saloons?"
Inasmuch as every political party
now in the field stands upon a wom-
an suffrage platform, an interesting
question presents itself-What tick
ct will liquordom support in the COM
ing national election?
