ment, freed from the incubus of dog
matism, has broadened out into an at
tempt to understand the whole of life,
and through it's achievements in
science has made modern civilization
progress by leaps and bounds. The
spiritual and the aesthetic side of life
has been deepened by a truer insight
into ideals of harmony and beauty,
derived from a wider experience and
knowledge of physical and mental
phenomena. Life for the average man
has become a happier. broader, and

the futility of the old belief that good

CONTRASTS IN TRENTON.

Salvation is evidently coming just
q trifle too high for some of the Tren-
ton, n. J., folk where Billy Sunday is
concluding a seven weeks engage
ment. A few of his more enthusiastic
admirers are urging he be given a
free will offering for his own pocket
of at least $4,000 on the day of his
final performances. But others, who
are protesting at the size of the sug-
gestion, are pointing out that including
what has gone to Mr.. Sunday already.
such an offerinb would make the ex-
penses of the meetings total $4,000 a
week, and they think that is a little
too steep. And speaking of odious
comparisons. it recently took eight
weeks in Trenton to raise $1,000 for a
fund to buy milk for sick poor babies,
and another Trenton movement to
take care of anaemic children in a
special nursery has not yet material
lied because the pie of hundred
dollars needed for it has not been
forthcoming.

knew the girl had returned to the

he was ready to blame himself as the

WHAT THE ALLIES NEED MOST.

WHAT THE ALLIES NEED MOST.
1t. was the Grand Duke Nicholas
who operated the Russian steam
roller with such success against the
Austrians during the early months of
the war and until his supply of NUM-
lions was exhausted Then the big
Russian retreat was conducted by
him in a most mastery manner. For
reward. he was deposed from the
major command of the Russian
forces, and shunted off to the eau
casus, then considered an unimport-
ant war zone. But the British re-
verses in Mesopotamia and those of
the Allies in the Balkans have
changed the significance of the eau
casus campaign, and the Grand Duke
Nicholas is there with the goods
again. He has another steam roller
working in fine order against the
Turks and the Germans, as is evil
denced by his capture of Erzerum,
stronghold of great strategic i'm
portance and also considered impreg-
nable. And what the Allies seem to
need most is few more commanders
of the resourcefulness of this com
petent Russian.

PLANNING TO CAPTURE TRADE

The third annual convention of the
National Foreign Trades council.
which was in session in New Orleans
from January 81 to 20. brought to-
gether more than 500 delegates, the
majority being men of wealth and in
fiuence in many lines of business, and
from every section of the country,
writes w. f. Aughinbaugh in Leshe's.
The growth of this organization is re-
markable. At the first meeting held
in Washington three years ago hardly
dozen men were present. The sec
ond convention held in St. Louis last
years assemblage. judging from the
prominence of the delegates, showed
that our manufacturing and financial
interests are now alive to the great
possibilities of overseas trade.
Five big ideas for the development
