Gods Hands, Wilhelm
Declares to Soldiers
(By Associated Press.l

(By Associated PreSs.) .
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 19.-(Via Lon
don.)-A speech by Emperor William on
December Ia to the troops commanded
by General d'Elso in Lorraine is quoted
by the Neueste Nachrichten, of Leipsic,
as follows in part:
THE brave endurance and iron te-
nacity with which you have repulsed all
enemies on all fronts for years has
made it possible for me to address to
my adversaries a proposal for peace ne
gotiations. Whether they will accept
1 do not know and the result is uncer-
tain. The act is in Gods hands, as is
our whole struggle. He will decide
upon II and we will leave 1t to Him.
We must not argue with what He or
ders.
I'VE will be grateful to Him that we
have thus far the honor Of being His in
struments in the divine judgment that
has GENE upon our enemies. Let the
decision fall as it will. The hewing will
proceed further until our adversaries
have had enough"

LINEN SHOWER FOR BRIDE.

The Loyal Daughters" composed
of the young ladies of the Lebanon
Junction Christian church, gave a
linen shower Monday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. R. G. Hampton,
complimentary to Mrs. W. T. Ste
phenson, who was married last Fri
day. The home was decorated in
potted plants and daisies, as the class
colors are white and yellow. In the
receiving line were the officers of the
class and the bride and groom. A
floral letter contest was introduced,
the names of flowers being supplied
to complete the letter, which in jest,
was supposed to have been written
by the groom to the bride. After
the contest, the lucky one proved to
be the bride and was awarded the
prize-a very pretty fan. Delightful
refreshments of brick cream and
cakes were served during the after
noon, which the bride was invited to
take charge Of the table in the hall,
where the linens were tied ready to
be opened. Numerous useful arti-
Giles were received and after showers
of congratulations on the bride and
groom departed feeling in much
praise to the Loyal Daughters for
their afternoons pleasures.

EIGHTH DISTRICT POLITICS

How soon we forget and are for
gotten. The present representative
from this district was the first man
in Congress to discover or at least to
expose the country's unpreparedness
for National defense. AS Chairman
of the Committee on Expenditures in
the War Department, Mr.. Helm five
years ago showed up that the repub-
licans had for sixteen years squan-
dered one hundred million dollars a
year on skeleton of an army, scat
tered throughout the interior of the
country in scores of expensive use
less army posts that there were no big
posts near any border or coast; that
there were no maneuvers or gather
ing together of the squads in real
corps and divisions, and that the mo-
ney was being wasted on political
paymasters" and other pampered Of
fcers who were not even acquainted
with their men. Mr.. Helms critics,
if informed will admit that he started
the movement for concentrating the
army at points where it might be
needed, and the movement for ex-
pending the money for real prepara-
ton, long before the world war and
present conditions were, or could be
even foreseen.

In 20 months of the new Democrat
ic tariff, ending March 81, 1916, the
balance of trade in favor of the
United States in its world commerce
exceeds 1926, 600, 900, as compared
with less than half that, or S1,403,-
100000, during the last 20 months
of the Republican tariff. Who wants
to abolish this career of prosperity
by a return to old conditions?
