FRENCH LIKE GERMANS,
NOT their GOVERNMENT
Work of Mccall Missions Abroad De-
scribed by Speaker.

French people do not like the Ger
man government, but they love the Ger
man people a. they love all people," said
Mrs. Louise Seymour Houghton. Of Phil
adelphia. editor Of the American Mo
Call Record, In q lecture under the
auspices Of the woman's Interdenomina-
tional Missionary Union, at the Public
Library yesterday afternoon.
"As one French soldier boy wrote to
his war godmother here, If peace were
declared We would be the first to rush
over and shake hands with the Germans
I'VE Americans owe ourselves to
France. When we needed assistance
forty years ago she gave US money and
men. We talk Of loaning her $1,000, ,0oo.-
ooo."
Mrs. Houghton told of the work done
by the Mccall Missions in France In
times OF peace and war. ''In the early
days OF the mission We had to be very
careful Of what we said and did because
the government had secret service agents
In the mission hall who would soon see
that the meetings were stopped II any
thing was said against the government.
All the workers were voluntary. It IL
pretty hard to control voluntary workers
They say what they want and often get
US In trouble.
"Religion to the people Of France meant
only form or ceremony. They did not
like religion, but we got them to attend
our meetings. Our meetings opened with
songs. prayer and Bible readings. Then
we had reading Of a story or something
not very religious, then more songs and
at the close everyone shook hands with
MI. Mccall. France Is now the greatest
missionary country in the world.
"A great deal OF relief work is being
done during the present war by the Nc
Can missions. They are supporting wom-
en- children and the wounded, and send
ing boxes to the chaplains at the front to
distribute to Protestant and Catholic
alike.
The great Boy Scout movement was
introduced into France by a French mis-
sionary who started an organization in
his mission. Other missions took II up,
ana later the government showed q hand,
making a retired major general of the
army chief of scouts. Today the boys
are serving faithfully in the war, doing
everything except fighting.

of the German blood it costs.
AS long as the German-Ameri-
cans could be used to serve the
ends Of the cruel autocracy Of the
Kaiser they were overwhelmed
with honeyed words. But because
they refuse to be traitors to the
country whose protection and lib
erty they enjoy Germany in her
heart has only contempt for them.
Where is not, German-Ameri-

NOT IMPROBABLY TRUE.

Senator Phelan in commenting
on the passage of the army bill
tells of an interview he had with
Count Burnstorff in 1913, at
Munich, when he went abroad i'll
the interest of the California Elk
position. The Senator urged the
Count to assist in getting Ger
many to make an EXHIBIT on the
ground that Germans i'll the Uni
ted States would be proud OF it.
He Immediately resented that,
said the Senator. Much to my
surprise he substantially said
DO not talk about these people.
We do not care what they think
or want. They have deserted the
Fatherland. They have run away
to avoid military duty, They
have been false to the old tradi-
lions. They are outlaws, and
that was the sentiment of official
Germany then, as | believe it is
today. They regard these good
people, who are expected to Zen
der service to the autocracy now
as outlaws, as men who have fled
from their duty.
This, of course, does not coin
eide with the language of Count
l.Bernstorff as long as he was here
as American ambassador nor OF
the German leaders who expected
! the German-Americans to keep
America out Of the war or, if she
went in, to strike her from within
But it is identical with the com
ment of some of the German pap
ers after the intrigues here had
/ failed and the United States tool
her side with the opponents Of
Prussian militarism.
! Moreover. it undoubtedly repre-
hsents the thought, if not of th'
German masses, at least of The
brutal taskmasters who still arr
trying to win the war regardless

What it terms a sad sight" can
be Witnessed along most any OF our
highways these days, says the Twin
Falls Times. Reference Is made to
the devastation of many of the Or
chards on the South Side tract, as It
would seem that after several years
trial, the owners of these orchards
have concluded that there is more
money in general farming than in
fruit raising The uprooting system
has been reduced to a science says
the paper. A huge steam motor or
tractor, apparently belonging to a
threshing machine outfit, just natur-
ally walks down beside a row of
trees with two great chains trailing
along behind. 1t is two-man job;
one drives the motor and the other
manipulates the chains. Picking up
one Of them he makes a hitch, by
means of the hook at the end, about
one tree; then, taking the other chain
bitches to the next tree ahead, and so
on. Meanwhile the great tractor
moves slowly but steadily along
never noting the pull as one after an
other the trees are left lying in its
wake, their roots as bare as their
branches. 1t is a continuous perform
anceance, all right, and might per
haps be adapted to dentistry.

Hidden Money Does No Work.

Did you ever stop to consider how
money works?
Imagine 100 mon seated In one
room. Suppose each man there owes
some other one man the sum OF 800.
The combined debt OF those present
is then $4,000.
Suppose one OF these men takes a
$40 bill from his pocket and passes 1t
to his neighbor; the neighbor passes
1t In turn to his creditor, who hands
II over to the man he owes. and so
on until that bill has made the rounds
OF these 100 men and has returned
to the first one. That single bill has
then cancelled $1,000 OF debts, and is
again In the possession OF the man
who first had 1t.
If II is passed around the circle
nine times more, It has paid the en-
tire $4,000 OF debts; the men leave
the room free OF obligation, and the
bill is again in the pocket OF the man
who first started circulating 1t.
Germany has financed her war on
this same principle. She has been
practically cut off from communica-
tion with the world. But her people
had plenty OF money.
She borrowed many millions o.
dollars, giving bonds In return. This
money she spent for war supplies and
It found its way back into the peck

ed over and over again. never goinf

nanced her war, because the people
kept their money in circulation.
