o God of infinite mercy, hear the
mothers of this land as we plead
before Thy throne for the loved ones
we are sending forth to battle for
the Right. Though our hearts are
bowed with sorrow, we pray not for
ourselves; all our prayers, 0 God Of
Love, are for them, the priceless
treasures of our lives. We are will
ing to suffer, and. if need be, to die,
for our Country!
We would gladly give our lives to
have these loved ones, dearcr to us
than life itself, who are going out to
fight foes, seen and unseen, to face
all the horrors Of the battlefield, and
some perchance to die, that others
may live, but by no word or look will
we hold them back when duty calls
them to save others.
Give them the manhood to meet
this supreme test OF life; give them
strength OF body, of mind and soul
to do battle for the Right, and to
succor the women and children. Arm
them with Divine power to smite
evil: fold them in Thy loving arms;
yea, though they walk through the
Valley Of the Shadow or Death may
Thy Presence Danish every fear and
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort them.
For three long years the men Of
our allies have battled for us as for
their own homes, and their loved
ones have endured the sorrows which
now we must face. Our men go forth
to help save us from ruin and the
world from barbarism. We suffer,
but we glory in their manhood. We
dedicate our lives to this Great Cause
that we may serve behind the lines
while they carry forward the flag Of
civilization.
The prayers Of world in agony,
for whom these loved ones are fight
ing. are lifted up to Thee for these
| men. They are offering all that
earth holds dear, because they have
heard Thy voice calling them TO the
noblest work to which lives were
ever consccrated. Thy love- o God,
our Father excels all human love, so
we leave them with Thee TO Thee

Thine, created in Thy image.
Into them Thou hast breathed the
breath Of life in its largest and divin-

In their sacrifice, Offering their
lives that others may live, they are
following in the footsteps Of the Son
Of God Himself, who died to make
men free from the power OF evil. We

Death for Hopeless Invalids.
(Anderson Mail.)

However strongly cold reason may
support in theory the legalized end
ing by death of human suffering
where recovery is hopeless, to the av-
erage person the suggestion is alb
horrent.
At its convention in Chicago the
other day the American Association
Of Progressive Medicine boldly chal-
lenged public opinion by it's action
in instructing a committee to submit
to the Legislature Of every State the
recommendation that statutes be en-
acted permitting euthanasia.
DR.. W. A. Gould, OF Des Moines,
the chief advocate Of the plan of
painless killing in extreme cases,
speaking from personal experience,
based his argument on the grounds
OF humanity. 1t is precisely on tho
plea Of humanity that the stiffest op-
position will he encountered when
sentiment protests against this form
OF relief for patients to whom death
"Oulu Dc Il "elcOme release.
Since the days when savage tribes
thought it eXpedient to rid them
selves Of weaklings and cripples by
exposure. the world has swung to the
opposite extreme in the effort to pro-
long human life under the most un.
favorable conditions.
No case is any longer too desper-
ate to justify failure to adopt any
steps known to science that may
keep breath in a dying body. No
man wounded in battle is too hope
lcssly mangled to excuse negligence
in patching him up into semblance
to his former self, although all the
rest OF his life he may be condemned
! to be hopeless wreck.
The public may in course OF time
! be brought to accept the theory of
putting to death by painless methods
those who are suffering from painful
maladies and whose recovery is
! hopeless, but that day is in the very
! far future. The proposition will re-
ceive scant support now.

Inborcrs Arc Being Furnished to tho
Allies by the thousands.

Correspondence Associated press.)
China's first and most important
contribution to the cause Of the en-
tente allies in the war doubtless will
be laborcrs.
Before China joined In the war
against Germany and Austria, she
had already supplied more than l00,-
600 laborcrs to France, England and
Russia. Coolies for agricultural work
and dock work have been going to
Western Europe for nearly two
years. Russia has also been draw
! ing from Chna's ineXhaustiblc sup
ply or labor for Siberian mines and
Siberian farms.
Now that China is actually in the
war, the task or recruiting laborers
for work beyond the seas will be far
easier. The government will lend Il
willing hand and competition which
hitherto has existed between the va
rious powers in recruiting coolies
probably will be eliminated.
or the 100000, 600 persons in
China, ii is estimated that at least
4o,0O0,000 are men capable OF carry

Dor directly connected with the war.
Of this number 10000, 900 arc living

ply equipment and officers for gene

Figures concerning the actual
number OF men under arms in China
are imperfect and misleading. Each
OF the provinces has it's own army.
In addition the central government
has many troops. There are probably
100000 men in all under arms In
China ut the present time. Perhaps
half OF these. or 250,O 900, would mea-
sure up to the standards Of a modern
army and be an effective fighting
force, If properly equipped and

Chinese officials. high and low,
would welcome an opportunity to
send a large aYmy abroad But China
lacks transports for sending troops
abroad, and her small arsenals and
poorly organized leather and cloth
industries make it impossible for her

China mas the wool, the cotton and
the hides neccssady to clothe a great
army, but she lacks facilities to con-
vert these into shoes and clothing.
Raw. material and labor exist in
China in abundance, but there is no
effective industrial organization.
Should it become necessary China's
unlimited labor could furnish much
OF the clothing for the allied armies,
were modern factories erected in
China undor foreign supervision.

(The State.)

In an editorial article headlined
'In It's Last Year." the Evening Post
Of Charleston argues that "it is prob
ably well within the mark to say that
Germany cannot stand another year
OF war" and that lit might be said
that none OF the powers which have
been three years engaged in the
dreadful struggle can" From this it
proceeds to the conclusion that the
recent "verbal" declarations by Ger
many about Belgium will be follow
ed by others more definite and more
acceptable to the entente allies. "The
United States can, however," i'm The
Posts opinion, ego for three years

tinues, "are breathing hard, all Of
them and they must and are deter
mined to have peace. The first
halt in the war will connote its con-
clusion. This war has reached
the point at which it must be kept at
full speed to keep it going at all.
Once the normal processes Of mind
were renewed, as they would be in
large measure by the consideration
OF peace, it would be next to impos-
likely to come about before the cam
paigns Of 1918 are fairly under way
The war is in it's last year.
This is the most sanguine predic-

contemporary in respect OF the world

when the other combatants shall be
ready to quit? If they shall be at the
point OF exhaustion when this great
nation Of ours shall be only at the
first flush OF realization Of fighting
strength next year should it, also,
for the first time in 1918 It shall be
armed cap-a-pic, if then its loins
shall be girded. should it not strike
the blows required to make good the
pledges of its government for world
Freedom? Hardly could it be con-
tended that the United States should
