Do Not Worry.

Do not worry. Life never hurries:
death alone is in haste. The cyclone,
the earthquake, the eruption, are sci.
dom In their destructive work; growth
Is slow. The mountain stream hur-
ries; It cannot do otherwise; but in all
its rush and roar there is a prophecy
of oceanic calm, the large, ever-anl.
mated calm that belongs TO all sound
life. The tempest that sweeps across
the waters moves the surface; the
great depth is unagitated. So the soul
knows nothing Of the tumult of haste
so often apparent on the surface OF
life. For the soul is of God, the undls
turbed, the unhurrylng, the uh,haIg.
ing. Let hut the soul grow conscious
of itself, and repose follows as surely
as light follows the rising of the SUM-

Volunteering Cruel

Volunteering takes no heed either
OF the needs OF the nation or the
special responsibility of the various
individuals. Upon all IT imposes its
dreadful coercion and drives them
into the recruiting office or leaves
them broken-spirited, convicted as
towards and slacKers.
To the nations peril. II takes the
trained mechanic from the NUM-
tions factory. the farmer from his
pillow, and forces the married man
to leave his family, regardless OF
whether the best interests OF the
nation require him In the trenches
or at home. With universal com
pulsory service. the needs of the
nation and the responsibility of the
individual can be rightly weighed
and adjusted.
Conscription OF wealth for war
purposes is merely the logical Sc
quence OF compulsory military SER
vice of men. Ana war is an unre-
lonting logieian. We may not have
conscription of wealth as the i'm
mediate sequence OF compulsory
service. but 1t will come as soon as
the people see that 1t is a necessary
step toward winning the victory.

 Miss Murray has gained a large fol- lowing among devotees of the screen since she began sometime ago to star in dramatic features. and it is the in- tention of her present employers to cap itafze her popularity, in every way pos sible. The first Murray Leonard pro- duction has not been decided upon.
