The massacre and deportation OF
hundreds of thousands of innocent
Armenians while Germany, protector
and ally of Turkey, gave tacit con-
sent by its attitude, is considered as
THE most gigantic crime OF the
war; by Viscount James Bryce,
while he says 'the most abject crime
Hof the war. thus far is that of the
German government carrying off into
slavery hundreds of young French
and Belgian girls and thousands OF
Belgian laborers, obliging them to
work against their own unfortunate
country ruined by the invasion"
Alfred Capus, editor of the Figaro

Bc,aium-Greatest Crime.

Politically the greatest crime COM
mitted during the war is the viola
ton of the neutrality Of Belgium by
those who had sworn to defen dit, !"
says Monseigneur Baudrillart. vicar
general of the Catholic Institute OF
Paris. Morally, one is embarrasse
to choose among so many atrocities,
he adds. 1.-THE worst crime in my
eyes is the re-establishing of slavery
by the Germans.
Signor Vicente Blaseo Ibanez re-
Piled: THE greatest crime OF intel
lectual Germany consisted in the
troubling fthe course of human
thought and the proclaiming of the
superiority of war over justice All
the atrocities of the Germans against
men and things are only the material
consequences of scientific 'barbarlty.s

The Moon Bor-
rows Her Light.
From The Sun.

What a terable discount such q
saying puts on the Word of God
Please read; .
And Goa made two great
lights; the greater light to rule
the day, and.the lesser light to
rule the night: be made the
stars also. r
And God set them in the
armament df the heaven to give
light upon the earth.
And to rule over the day and
and over the night, and to divide
the light from the darkness: and
God saw thasit vas good.
And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
Gen. 1-1B-I7-18-19"D
There is nothing in this saying
that would convey the least Idea
that the moon borrows her light
from the Sun. This is a get up
of men.
And there is no Coz in it.
For God said in our text that he
had created two great lights the
greater light to rule the CAV and
the lesser light to rule the night
80 then the moon was created
for the purpose of ruling the
night. And it has no need Of
borrowing light from the Sun to
do this,
Yet we shall be able to inform
you that when ever the moon
gets close to the sun, that the
light of the sun is so much
greater than the light of the
moon that the moon is darkened.
And this point is Proven when
the moon goes into darkness of
what is called the dark of the
moon. She then has her closet
position to the sun. And the
Suns light covers her all over
and the light of the moon can
not be seen.
But as soon as che begins. to
receed back from the Sun. She
begins to show herself. lust as
fast as she gets GU. from under
the light of the sun,
She begins to show herself.
and her light shines again until
she receeds to her limit in
distance.
Then sbe shows up her full
SIZE and is called full moon.
From the full moon she begins
to get closer to the sun again
she decreases in size until she
comes direct under the full blaze
OF the sun again, There is no
borrowasion from the sun but a
verlation, from and to the sun
as the months roll around. We
trust from this our readers
may catch to-, right idea.
