WAKE, LUTHER.

Speak, Luther, from that world where
truth abidesl
The Fatherland hath need of thy
brave hand,
For faith and truth have vanished
from the land
Thou lowest. and Virtue fails and
Honor hides
Her face at sight of that fierce lech-
= cry,
Which, like Il lecring horror, trails
the path
OF German arms. Blast with thy
words of wrath
This power that works thy peoples
mOckery.
Prussia doth drive thye nation to her
doom,
Thy people stagger with their
weight of dead;
Bring thou the light of God! Beat
back the gloom
OF this worldcrime, lest, with deep
horror fled
The Nations drag thy race before
Gods bar
OF Judgment. Wake, Luther! Lift thy
voice afar!
The Churchman.

WILL COMMUNISM EVER COME?

Will the world ever become COM
munistic? Will day come when all
will share everything i'll common?
When there will be no more struggle Z?
Is there anywhere in the animal King
dom any such social organization?
There is one such, rs ]. Henri Fa-
bre points out in The Life of the Cat
erpillar. The socalled professionally,
the caterpillar that lives in the pines
shares his whole life equally with his
fellows. Move him from one nest
to another, and he goes amiably to
work, adding his bit of spinning to
the enlargement of the new test Put
another beside him on Il pine needle,
and there sno struggle for food (:
each munches along with no jealousy
of the other.
Why shouldn't this beautiful fell
lowship extend to all living creatures?
For several reasons, as Fable points
out. In the first place. the life OF
the processionary is complicated by
no struggle for food. There is always
enough for all: if one pine branch
is stripped, thereare plenty of others.
Another thing: The processionary
neither loves nor marries. The cat
erpillar is seXless thing; there is
no struggle for mates with him, no
battle for the life of the young More
than that, he is member of a race
where there is no equality of strength
or endowment-whcre every one is
different from every other one.
There would have to be a general
levcling of abilities. says Fabre, be-
fore communism will ever come;
and with that leveling would have to
go the abolition of the family and the
assurance of supply of food so plen-
tiful that there would be no necessity
for effort.
"And the result of this bestial sac
rifice," concludes Fabrc, "would be a
community of caterpillars."

DON'T TAKE A TRUNK IN THE
TRENCHES.

1t isn't altogether safe to take
your tailor's advice as to what not
you will need as equipment in the
trenches. The London tailors who out
fitted young officers sent to France
"lookin more like Christmas trees
than ANYTHING else" writes Captain
Leslie Vickers in The Training For
The Trenches. "No one could possibly
have carried all the equipment they
suggested, and no army service corps
would ever have been able to handle
it as baggage"
Here are some of the essentials,
according to CAPTAIN Vickers:
First, the rifle-the soldiers best

cared for as if his life depended on
it-as it frequently may. 1t must he

THE PRICELESS THING.

In such times of stress as the pres

Without the solid, loyal backing of
the nation those at its head cannot
hope to succeed, no matter what their
endowments of wisdom and courage
In normal times we may be divided
and express our difference of opinion
about as we please, but. these are not
normal times and in order that the
nation may carry to success the stu
pendous task set, it will require not
only a cheerful willingness to sacri-
flee but also an answering loyalty in
word and deed. The great Russian
nation is an example of the certain
disaster that awaits divided house
and lack of common loyalty to es-
tablished authority and to the nation
first, and to ones own particular
opinions, entirely second.
For more than hundred years this
American nation has been the United
States because the minority have
abided by the rule and vote of the ma
jority, no matter how distasteful it
might be, and the one great war of
our history served to firmly establish
this principle,

of these United States, be good one
and show your loyalty in word and

these United States, KEEP your mouth

Westinghouse cablegram to the
American Red Cross from it's Paris

trativc of. the. kind of work the can
teen service is doing. The cablegram
reads:

said. were his sons VINO had enlisted

received word from the French au-
thorities that his wife. who had been
caught in the invaded district, had
been shot by the Germans.
"He was starting back on his per-
mission with the family to whom he
could go. The directrice suggested
that he had his parents to visit, but
he answered that both his parents
were killed by the Germans in 1870.
He said to the directrice:

THE GREATEST OF POPULAR
WAR LOANS.
New York WORLDLY


A few things are known about the
closed Second Liberty Loan in add
vance of exact figures, which will not
be available for some days. 1t far
surpasses in magnitude of sum total
and in number of subscribers ever be-
fore realized in this or any other ma
ton.
The amount subscribed is assuredly
well above $4,000, 100000, which is
more than $4,000, 100000 above the
minimum amount asked for and ST.
000,000,000 above the subscription of
the First Liberty Loan. 1t easily ex-
ceeds Britain's greatest effort of the
kind and is 70 per cent. above Ger
many's biggest loan.
The number of subscribers is even
more amazing. II is probably not less
than 100000 and may reach Il much
higher. figure. But at 100000 il
must be far above the number shar-
ing in the great British loan and COM
pares with the 6,700,000 subscribing
to the sixth German loan of last
Spring, several millions of whom,
however, looks bonds only of denom-
nations below $50 and as low as less
than a dollar.
This wide distribution of the loan
among the people is the most wcighty
of all the great facts relating to this
second loan, either for its military or
economic or political effects during
and after the war.
1t was the comparatively rich who
financed hte North in the civil war.
Secretary Chase was fifteen months
selling through paid agents the big
500 loan of S500,0O0,O0O and it had
for him the wonderful distribution of
$4,000 subcribers. The present New
York Federal Reserve district has II
population about one-half that of the
Northern States in 1868, and almost
five times that number of subscrib-
ers are recorded for the Second Lib
erty Loan in this district alone.
The Observation-Disclosures at home who
have been questioning the union OF
the American people in this war and
demanding a plebis:ite, here have
their answer and here their plcbiscite,
not in votes but in money that talks
more effectively than votes. The en-
envy abroad nursing similar doubts
will need no further proof of his
mistake.

SHOP EARL-SHIP EARLY. so AS
TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT

Second Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Praeger has issued the following
statement to the public:
"The Christmas season this year
will have an added interest to the
American people. There will be the
usual seasonable greetings and re-
membranes at home, and in addition
| there will be messages and remem-
ORANGES to, perhaps, 100000 men in
the army abroad and in the canton
ments in this country. The postoffice
department win be called on to ham
die, practically, two Christmas mails,
one on November 18th, for the troops
in France and the sailors in European
waters. The second will bethe usual
heavy Christmas movement for the
home, and in addition, this year, for
the environments"
The railroads of the country are
making sacrifices and have announc-
ed the fullest cooperation with the
p. o department in handling this
years mailings, and the p. o. depart
ment trusts that the public will meet
| this commendable spirit by not de-
laying the mailing of Christmas re-
membranes until the last moment"
1.-THE railroads are anxious to han
die both mail and express as expe-
ditiously as is possible under the ex-
listing unprecedented demands caused
by the war so as to avoid, as far as
possible, disappointment to senders
/ and receivers of PACKAGES.
To do this the public is asked to
help by beginning in time to mail and
, express their packages.
Never before in the history of this
nation has there been such strenuous
demands upon transportation, these
demands have been met as promptly
as possible, and with comparatively
little delay, but anticipating a large
Christmas business the roads are
