PRAYER BEFORE BATTLE.

This is the tremendous prayer which
the men on British warships hear as
they thunder into battle:
20 most powerful and glorious Lord
God. the Lord of hosts, that rulcth and
commandest all things, Thou sittest in
the throne judging right, and there core
we make our addresses to Thy divine
majesty in this our necessity, that
Thou wouldst take the cause into
Thine own hand, and judge between us
and our enemies. Stir up Thy strength.
and come and help us. for Thou sivcst
not always the battle to the strong but
canst save by many or by few. Q let
not our sins now cry against us for
vengeance; but hear us. Thy poor SER
wants, begging mercy and imploring
Thy help, and that Thou wouldest be
| Il defense unto us in the face OF the
enemy. Make it appear that Thou
art our saviour and mighty dclivercr.
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen .
That was the moving prayer our
heroes heard AT Trafalgar: it was the
prayer used at the battle of Jutland. 1t
must have been 4 stirring thought 10

Second Base Pairs.

A yawning bystander desires to know
the best second base combination of
the major leagues. Can anyone beat
the Coliins-Risherg combination of the
White Sox?" he asks.
Here are the leading second base
combinations:
Herzog- Fletcher, New York Giants.
Collins -Rsbers. Chicago White Sox.
Barry-Scott, Boston Red SoN.
Maranville- Eycrs. Boston Braves.
Young Bush. Detroit Tigers.
Chapman Wambseanss. Cleveland
Indians.
These form The six strongest com
hlnations around second in the ma jor
leagues. Collins is a star, but Risbere
has yet to prove his worth. The Evers-
Maranville combination is a wonder
but Johnny isn't IN the best physical
condition of his career.
The leading pick would rest between
Herzoc- Fletcher and Barry Scott
Either Of these is good enough 10 carry
on pennant warfare.
These second base combinations have
always featured great teams. The old
Cubs had T;vers and Tinker The old
Mackmen had Collins and Barry. The
old Pirates had Richie and Wagner
The old Giants had Dahlen and Gilbert

best foundation possible for Il flay

Stevensville, May / - Especially
George w. johnson, q retired Bitter

They will limit their crop to grain,

SMALLER CIGARS TO
OFFSET TAX OF WAR

Tobacco companies are planning to
reduce the size of their packages Of
cigarettes, cigars and tobacco approx
imately 20 per cent. to meet the PROS
pective war taxes on the tobacco in
dustry. Prices will remain as they are,
30 that the war taxes on tobacco will
be passed on to the consumer in the
way Of less for his money.
An official Of the supply department
of the American Tobacco company
stated that the plans for making re-
auctions in the cigarettes. cigars and
tobacco were only awaiting the an
nouncement BY the Washington admin
istration of just what taxes are to be
levied on the various classes of tobacco
products. The reduction is likely to be
20 per cent. he stated.
For instance the packages of cigar
cites in which 10 smokes are now in
cludcd. after the war taxes are effec-
tive probably will contain only eight
smokes. The larger packages will be
reduced from 20 smokes to Is or six
teen. The 10 and l5-cent packages of
smoking tobacco will be reduced in
volume and cigars will lose about one
fifth of their present size.
The tobacco dealers assert they will
be the class of merchants hardest hit
by the war taxes. They not only will
have to pay income taxes. excess prof
its taxes. but also special commodity
taxes on tobacco, and taxes for en-
gaging in the wholesale or retail to-
bacco business. This justifies them.
they assert. in passing along some of
the war burdens to the ultimate con-
sumner.

A CONCRETE QUESTION.

More and more, with every passing
day. the issue of the world war is be-
ing put up to the United States. More
and more it becomes an indisputable
fact that, If Germany is to be defeated
and the menace of the mailed fist
wiped off the earth forever. the de-
cisiye blow must be struck by Ameri-
can hands.
This is not cited to call attention to
Americas forthcoming prominence at
the peace conference. Indeed. that
thought need not occupy the minds of
any Of the warning peoples for many
weary months to come. The insisten.
duty before this nation now is that
of lighting the war through to the
end without the slightest diminuticn
of determined spirit, without the
weakening influence Of false hopes,
without expenditure of an ounce
of energy in any direction save that
which will Help bring victory in the
shortest possible time.
America must be loyal nation, a
solid phalanx of loyalty without a
single weak or doubtful spot. Every
man and every woman must strive
for thorough understanding Of the
wars issues so that loyalty may find
its highest expression in every indi-
vidual action, every thought and
every word.
Now, as never before, there is no
middle ground for American citizen
ship. A man or woman is loyal or
disloyal There is no more excuse
for ignorant disloyalty than for ignor-
ant crime Of any other sort.
Tolerance for the misguided OBJ
structionist must cease. He must
mend his ways or face punishment.
There is no more room in America
of today for the dissenter than for the
Stacker. Failure to rebuke him en-
courages him. Silence on the part
of those who hear his seditious utter
ances is encouragement for his dis
loyalty.
The I. w. W.. the socialist, the non.
partisan league and other ism-chasing
influences which conceal more or less
expertly their enrnity for the govern
ment are obstructing the progress
Of the nation to which they owe as
great debt as does any of the khaki
clad youngsters who are scattered
from Frances zig-zag battle line all
the way to the Golden Gate.
The evil influence of these organi-
cations must be minimized by the
active, loyal patriotism and ce-opera-
ton of the remainder of the

rHEYRE in THE TRENCHES.

American soldiers are In the
trenches and 1t will be only short
time until they will be going over the
top and coming to grips with the SOL
diers Of the kaiser. Their training
has been long and carefully super.
vised. They have had the advantage
of the experience of British and
French armies and of the American
officers who had been observing the
various stages of the war even before
the United States entered the strug-
gle.
The Americans will give good
account OF themselves. There is no
doubt nor fear as to that in the heart
of any American. The fact that they
have entered the trenches, however,
adds weight to the responsibility
which we at home must meet unself-
ishly and periodically.
Supplies must be kept going to
France in steady stream. There
must be no dimunition. no failure on
the part of those Of us who remain at
home. No matter how indirect may
be the course by which service on our
part may help or hearten the boys
over there. no patriotic action must be-
overlooked nor neglected because ii
seems small or Insignificant.
We must not be impatient for news
from our soldiers. 1t is our duty to
them and to the government which We
all serve that their safety be guarded
and news of their movements be kept
secret. Our opinions of censorship
may not always coincide with those OF
