lieIon Are Linked
Together.

America, as nal1On winch mas
found her soul, as the result Of this
war, was the hope expressed by the
Rev, John C. Sage, rector of ST
Johns Episcopal church at the patri
otic services held in that church last
night. From war will come the re-
demption Of America. 1t will be a
nation that has found it's SOUL Here
If last, will be the realization that
God is preparing a nation for Him
self; a home for the oppressed, and
\ country where the people have found
themselves and God" was the clos
Inc sentence to an eloquent address.
st. Johns was crowded last night
on the occasion Of this patriotic gath
was given by the choir Of the church,
under the direction of George w.
Barns, choirmaster and organist.
Places were reserved in the church
for the members of the various or
ganizations OF the city which had
been invited to attend. City and
school officials, members Of the G.
A. R. posts, D. A. RS and S. A. RS,
Spanish war veterans, boy scouts,
and members of various fraternal or
carnations occupied places. They
marched into church with flags at
their head, and planted the colors
alongside of their pews.
Religion and Patriotism.
We cannot express patriotism I'M
less it is founded on Gods love, Rev.
Sage said in his address. No nation
has lived and prospered which forgot
Cod No apology was necessary he
said to come into the church which
was the home Of Washington and
other patriots with the words of Presi-
dent Wilson ringing in our ears.
There was no apology necessary for
entering Gods house to march be-
hind the cross and the flag, and to
see on the altar the cross and the
flag, because patriotism and religion
are linked together, and are one and
hseparable.
& The question has been asked
many times, sis war ever justif1ed?"
Christian people, Rev. Sage said, are
loathe to believe that it can honor
ably and justly be INDUCED in by a
nation. The pacifist comes
10 say that war Is terrible ana nor
rible and that it must stop. The
pacifist says nation must not pre-
pare itself against war, and then it
will not make war. This attitude,
he characterized as being as danger
BUS as the militant's.
Brute force has always had moral
sanction If this were not true, there
could be no civilization today. Right
must be supported by might or it
cannot exist An analogy was
irawn to show the relationship Of the
police force, the militia for the keep
ng of right by force. Force is
necessary if there is to be civiliza-
ion"

S4O,0OO,000 IS
DAILY COST Of
WAR TO j. s.

New York October lo.-The war
is costing the beliigerent nations OF
the world at the rate of $l60000,00O
day-$6, 500 900 an hour-and the
United States is paying at least one
quarter of this staggering sum, &C
cording to estimates made today by
the Mechanics and Metals National
Bank of New York. The estimated
daily cost at the beginning of the
war was $4,000, 900 and a year ago
it was $l00,0m,o00 This country's
rate Of expenditure is greater than
any other nation, Great Britain being
second and Germany next
By next August, according to the
bank figures, the total cost to the
world will be $Is5,Oo000O,O0o. AL
ready expenditures have exceeded
100000, 10000, of which all but a
fraction has been translated into per-
manent national indebtedness. Inter
est ON public debt is now calculated
to be more than 10 per cent of the
normal income of the German people
as compared with less than one-half
of per cent in the case of the peo-
pie of this country.
The developed national wealth OF
the allies is placed at $600,000000,000
by the bank, while that of the leu
tonic powers is given as $l30,000,0OO,-
900.
About 100000 men are today en-
gagged in the war. To what extent
the entente allies have gained super
iority over Germany is shown by the
bank in striking fashion
With no more than 100000 OF
AfSefican manhood enlisted, the total
military strength of the allies is 49,
100000 against a total for Germany
Austria Hungary. Bulgaria and Tur-
key of 100000. The population OF
IA entente allies, from which the
ranks of their armies may be re-
plenished, is altogether l,3O0,OOO,OOC
