Parable of the Other Good Turn
Now there was a day when | had
need of Exercise, and my Garden had
need of Hoeing; wherefore / said to
My Sout that / would Hoe in my
Garden. But while l was yet COM
ing, behold man stood at my door
and he rang the Bell. And the DAM
sci opened the door, and he stood
without, and called for me. And
went to the door, and he spake thus:
Behold, have lived in this town
for Twenty Years, and / am an up
right man, and have many virtues.
Yet the Lord hath death very sore
with me. For / have no money and
l have no work.
And l asked him, What canst thou
do?
And he answered Anything.
And had heard that answer be-
fore, and knew that it meant that he
could do nothing well.
And / said to him, have no work
for thee, save to hoe in my garden.
If thou wilt work there until Noon,
and dig out the Weeds, l will give
thee dollar.
my hand, and he went to what he
called work.
And from then until Noon he was
in my Garden, and he trod on my
Watermelon vines, and he dug up my
Radishes, and he injured my Peas and
Beans. And the Weed he hurt not
perceptibly. And ere the Clock
struck Twelve he stood on my TIRES
hold, asking for his Dollar. And l
gave it to him, albeit he had not
earned it, and he went his way.
Now a year and a day thereafter
he came again. And knew him not.
And he said.
Dost thou not know me-? am
the man who a year ago did come
to thee in thy Need, and did Hoe for
thee, and make thy Garden beautiful.
Yea, and / never saw Garden as
weedy as thine until made it Love-
ly. And now behold, one good turn
deserveth another. L am in Tenn
porary Financial Embarrassment,
and | have come to thee assured in
my heart that for the Good / did
thee then, thou wilt now lend to me
Ten Dollar Bill till the day after
tomorrow.
And / bowed before him in admira-
ton of his Assurance. And l said,
l cannot afford to lend thee Ten
Dollars.
And he asked:
Hast thou any doubt about the
return of it?
And | answered him, Nay. For
had no doubt at all. / knew in my
heart that if / loaned him Ten l
should never see the money again.
And he asked,
Why then dost thou not loan it to
me?
And / answered,
If having given thee one dollar
which thou didst not earn places me
under obligation now to give thee
Ten, how much should owe thee q
year and a day hence? Verify thou
wouldst then expect of me an Hun
dred.
And he was wroth, and went his
way reviling me.
But / think he is of forgiving
spirit; and some day he will come
again and seek to accommodate me
by having me assist him.
For / have known many like unto
him.
And / marvel when / think how
many men there be who could count
the benefits they have received for
benefits bestowed. Yea, verify think
there are men who imagine that God
is under great obligation to them for
the Privilege they have Vouchsafed
to Him of forgiving them their sins,
and saving their Dirty little souls.

U-BOATS OPERATE
IN THE CHANNEL
Under Cover of Raid by Ger
man Warships They Break
Through

London, Nov. 10. - German sub
marines have been operating extern
sively in the English Channel and off
the southern coast of France. They
broke through the British blockade
and ring of defenses under cover of
the recent raid by German warships.
This information came to-day from
reliable sources. The raid carried out
by enemy warships in the shipping
courses between the Thames and Hol-
land on November 1, this report says,
was a blind to get half a dozen or
more U-boats through the channel.
That it succeeded is evidenced by the
unsual activity of submarines in these
waters during the last few days Their
roll of victims this week has been ex-
ceptionally high.
The British naval authorities have
learned of this fact and are making
strenuous efforts to trap some of the
raiders, 1t is said. The channel patrol
has been augmented and q watch is
being kept night and day for any sign
of the submarines reported to be op-
Grating off the coast. The few critics
who share knowledge of the presence
of the enemy submersibles express the
opinion that by now most of them
must have escaped and returned to
their bases. The continued sinking of
vessels in this region, however. sug-
gests that a few raiders are still op-
Grating in the channel or slightly to
the north.

Won Bethmann-Hollweg Is
Confident of Final Victory

Amsterdam, Nov. 10. - Chancellor
Won Hollweg expressed the
conviction that Germany was certain
of final victory in his speech before
the Reichstag committee yesterday
according to reports of the session
published here. The chancellor is
quoted as saying:
England and France in 1915
guaranteed to Russia territorial rule
over Constantinople, the Bosphorus
and the western shore of the Darda-
nelles with its hinterland, while Asia
Minor was to be divided among the
members of the entente. The an
nexation intentions of our enemies
also include Alsace-Lorraine which the
league of peace is to guarantee them.
Such a policy of course, cannot form
a basis for an effective peace union.
The enemy obstinately wills to war
with the calling up of military mate
rial and auxiliary forces from all parts
of the world. These efforts harden
our resistance to still greater deter
mination. Whatever England can still
bring up of strength and Englands s
command of strength has it's limits,
1T is predestined to fail before our
will to live. This will is unconquer-
able and we await the enemy's recog-
milton of this, confident that this
recognition must come"

INTERURBAN MEN
SUMMONED HERE
Facilities on Interurban Troll
ley Cars Will Be Discussed
Friday

Representatives of all companies
engaged in interurban trolley traffic
In Pennsylvania will be invited to a
conference to be held with the Public
Service Commissioners in the State
Capitol next Friday to discuss COM
plants regarding lack of toilet facili-
ties on trolley cars. 1t is the hope of
the commission to arrive at some gen.
eral plan which will not be too bur
densome on the companies and meet
all requirements of the public and at
the same time not run counter to State
health regulations.
The. conference was called as a re-
suit of complaints from Berks and
other counties about lack of facilities
and several cases will be kept on the
postponed calendar until the confer
ence is held.
Several years ago the commission
established the rule that no one could
ride on front platforms of cars after
conference with street railway COM
panies.

With pepsin that acts on the bowels in
IN easy, natural way, and regulates
the action of this most important

which children are subject is traceable
to bowel inaction, and a mild, depend

pleasant to the taste and children like

says:
Railroad Field
Two millions of men are employed
by the railroad companies of America,
or realted Industries. This vast army
or two thousand regiments Is the legi-
innate field of the Railroad Young
Mems Christian Associations. OF
course, there are varied reasons why
less than 100000 are enrolled in our
membership. Many of these reasons
are invalid excuses. The singing
truth is that most of these men are
not related to our movement because
our proposition has never been def
nitely and personally carried to them.
Either from the privilege standpoint
or the altruistic standpoint,
nearly every railroad man is approach
able.
The somewhat ambitious member
ship campaign will be demonstration
OF the effectiveness of business meth
DDS. Our goods will be properly plac-
ed on the market. The association
will be heralded. Everybody will be
talking about it 1t will stream in the
sunshine and come down in the show
ers. Men will read of $50, 900 in the
morning papers, and see these figures
In the dreams of the night. Wives
will look for the caballstic button on
hubs coat, and sweethearts will make
that button Il requisite for a pleasant
evening with her"
Continental Campaign
This Is to be a Continental Cam
paign. The same emblematic poster
that stares from the pine trees along
from the horns of the steers in Texas.
1t will speak its message from the
canon walls of the Canadian Rockies
and, mayhap, adorn the tower OF Old
South Church in Boston. This army
of railroad men will know. The asso-
citation will speak out for once. What
1t has to offer will be freely and frank
ly offered, and offered everywhere.
November l 4 to "a may be period
of cold wintry weather, but the rail-
road associations will be hot-foot after
members. And the happiest fellows
will be the men who are signed up
Now all association workers, listen!
We've got great campaign organiza-
ton. The committees are all infalii-
Bile. That 10000 will come by the
sheer impetus of the campaign move
ment. The main thing is to sit by and
see them. march in. 1t will be great

English Statesman Asserts
Sacrifices Must Not Haze
Been Made in Vain

London. Nov. 10.-The banquet of
the new lord mayor of London, Sir
William Henry Dunn, was given at the
Guild Hall last night and was attended
by cabinet ministers. members of the
diplomatic corps, including Walter
Hines Page, the American ambassador,
and men prominent in the military
and naval world. among them Lord
Fisher, chairman of the invention
board; Arthur ]. Balfour, first lord of
the admiralty, and Sir William r. Rob
ertson. chief of the imperial staff at
army headquarters.
The leading speech of the evening
was delivered by Premier Asquith,
who, in alluding to peace, declared
that nobody had greater reason than
Great Britain to desire peace. but that
it was desired on only one condition
that the sacrifices of the war should
not have been made in vain. A feature
of the speeches was the warm tribute
of admiration on the stand made by
Rumania and the expression of the
opinion that although the attack on
Rumania had not yet been defeated. 1t
had been successfully stayed.
Mr.. Asquith began his speech with
reference to Turkey. which country
he described as a subservient agent of
German interests and ambitions as
was instanced. he said, by the fact
that by lifting finger Germany might
have arrested the Armenian horrors,
but instead looked on .unmoved. ac-
qujesced and possibly even complacent.
That" said the premier ''is sig
niticant sample of what continuance
of the rule of Germanic Turkey in
Europe will mean."
Mr.. Asquith said he would refrain
from anv detailed review of the naval
and military situation. He dwelt, how
ever. on the continued entente allied
successes and said the British navy
was ready. and more than ready,
whenever opportunity was offered to 1t.
