the same barbarous warfare that it
has waged in the fields of France and
Belgium.
Proof has been given by the genaral
staff of the war department that Ger
many and Austria could land half
million men on the shores of the Unit
ed States in two weeks and over half
million more in less than another
month. Also, the late Admiral Dewey
said in a letter to former Representa-
tive A. P. Gardner: at is true that a
large hostile force can land on the
open coast wherever the transports
can get within reasonable distance of
the shore, and especially so where their
landing is covered by the gunfre of
the naval escort, even though the land
ing be opposed by troops"
p Furthermore, Admiral Dewey said
that "a hostile expedition can land up
on our coast at will"
When the American people realize
that they are fighting primarily for
self-preservation, and secondarily for

racy" the arguments of the socialists
and pacifists will carry mighty little
weight"

cially above them, until not only was
there among all classes physical aver
sion to honest toll, but the very idea
seemed to carry with it sense of in
feriority and degradation.
Aside from the deplorable causes
producing it, the present national cam
paign of production is the salvation
of our country in more ways than just
that of providing food for the world.

who were fast becoming degentrates
from the need of a serious object in
life. 1t will give vital force to the ac-
ademic teaching of the honor and Dig
nifty of labor. 1t will tougher muscles
long unaccustomed to exertion, and
will transform weaklings into that
which the Almighty intended they
should be-MEN-vital, forceful, red
blooded MEN.
No great forward stride of any peo-
pie is ever accomplished without great
sacrifice. When our revolutionary ia
theirs conceived the vision of a great
nation that should exemplify to the
world the blessings of peace and liber-
ty, they made great sacrifices, and
made them gladly and willingly. Until
the entrance into this war their des-
cendants were in danger of losing the
sight of the grand vision through the
curse of too great plenty of the crea-
ture comforts.
But we are awake at last. True, it
took worldwide calamity to arouse
us; but once aroused, we are going to
take a different view of man and his
mission.
When we come into our own-which
we shall do when we have won the con-
flict before us-we shall discover that
the true glory of man lies in EFFORT
and ACHIEVEMENT for their OWN
sake, rather than in the enjoyment of
their fruits.

FIGHTING FOR
SELF-PRESERVAT!ON

Washington, June 5-For what is
the United States fighting? was the
question asked on the eve of the first
Iegistl en- un 'er the selective draft
law, chiefly by the socialists and paci-
fists following the lead of those ele-
ments in other countries. Even in
Germany the government has been
interpolated as to its aims and objects
but the question there has been an
swered more plainly than in any other
of the warning nations.
The United States is fighting for
self-preservation. In 1776 America
fought for its own independence and
the self-preservation of the colonies
in 1861, the fight was for the preser-
walton of the union and the continu-
ance of the independence of all the
states, and in 1917 the United States
is fighting for its economic and its ac-
tual physical independence. Only the
war of 1898 was what might be called
"alturistic."
Unfortunately, however, officials and
other speakers of the highest position
in the land have utterly neglected to
mention the real cause of Americas
present war, but have emphasized the
ideals" Of the United States and its
entry into the war for Service" and
humanity and democracy The
United States may be fighting for
ideals" it may be conscripting ~
young men to fight for Service" and
it may be giving its blood and treasure
for humanity" but these are
merely collateral phases.
The United States is fighting for its
self-preservation and independence
just as Great Britain and France and
Italy and all the other countries allied
against Prussia
"Pan-Germanism" is the enemy
which the United States is fighting
the unconcealed-the avowed-object
of Prussia in starting this war. First
Europe was to be Prussianized, undei
the German program; then the Mon
roe doctrine would have been torn into
shreds like other scraps of paper
and Mexico and South America would
have been seized, in which event the
United States would have either hac
to fight or to surrender abjectly one
of the most cherished and self-pro,
teetive principles.
Instead of impressing this fact on the
people, however, speakers have devot
ed their attention to "ideals" and have
sought to arouse enthusiasm over &
war for the abstract, rather than the
concrete. A few men are going whole
heartedly into the fight for ideals,
while millions would rush to the color,
if informed that their country was il
actual peril.
The time has come to tell the truth
The United'States is fighting for self
preservation. The armies and navie,
of the other allies are "the first line o.
defense" for the United States; if thes,
fail, the enemy will be at Americas

MAKE LABOR FASHIONABLE.
One prominent American editor
sounded vital note when he suggest
ed that our people should make econ
omy fashionable" That was wise
suggestion. and one that should be
needed by our professional high liv-
ers.
But to this we wish to add this sug-
gestion: MAKE LABOR FASHION

Put the two virtues side by side in
double harness all over this country
during the days that are coming, and
the United States will easily come in
to her own.

UP TO UNCLE SAM.

World affairs have reached that
point where it is up to Uncle Sam to
win the world war.
In the concise language of the
Frenchman, "There is no more Rus
sia," at least so far as counting for a
vital, aggressive force in this contest
is concerned.
If we in this country have not fully
conceived as yet what this fact por-
tends, it is well that we consider the
situation very siriously. 1t means
that whereas the central powers have
heretofore maintained an enormous
army of seasoned fighters on the east
ern front, they are now withdrawing
these veteran troops and hurting them
in masses upon the French and Brit
ish lines.
1t means that under present condi-
tions it is a physical impossibility for
the entente armies to gain even a NOM
inal victory. 1t means that the best
we can expect until our armies are in
the field is stand-off.
And it means further, that unless
the country masters its entire strength
in men and means, and uses that
strength to the limit, the cause of hui
man freedom will lose the fight and
America will go down in the ruins, for
with England and France defeated
or even nominally victorious, and a still
powerful Prussian autocracy spreading
itself over the earth, the future of de-
mocracy will be dark indeed.
If every man and woman in Amer
lea will get firmly in mind the fact
that WE must win the war if it is to
be won; that if it is lost our ideals and
institutions are in grave danger, then
and not until then will we be in ar
attitude to face the task that is ours
The God of Hosts can find no use
for a man who, shaving put his HAND
to the pillow, turneth back"

Ward smiled. q daresay we all think we could use the other fellows possessions better than he does"
 Elinor persisted, frowning little.
 "Things are so terribly mixed up," she said. If you could know the things that I know"-Ward looked faintly amused-"the people who are fighting for a principle, and have nothing to fight with, fighting for life sometimes ! A good half of the world, you know. just struggles-along, and the other half is so snug, so satisfied; it's-it's hor- rible."
 Mir. Ward stared at her.
 "How in the world do you come by such thoughts?' he demanded.
 I've never known anything else; I was brought up on the injustice of things. You have your poor here in the parish. but you see I was brought up with the poor of all the world. I am afraid I'm always for the under dog"
 Rather startled was Rev. MT. Ward that summer afternoon on the terrace at the Hall, startled and puzzled.
 Down in our hearts," he said, per haps we are all of us for the under dog. But how does that excuse my bandits?''
 This Mrs. Bryant-how much do you suppose you are going to lose for your poor by her loss?"
 "Not so much, but enough. She had promised a lot of things. She called mp this morning to say that it was all off" He started to say that all bets were off, but decided that 1t was un- clerical and changed it. But I didn't come here to worry you about myself or the parish. I think you should not be here alone"
 Elinor looked down over the village.
 "Then perhaps, after all, it would be better if l married at once"
 "Ah! You are to be married?"
 "Now that my father is gone" said Elinor wistfully, it seems the best thing. And-I should like children. have no friends, except perhaps you"
 Ward stroye to keep his voice steady, and matter-of f-fact.

i've got itr' he said. "What is 1t they call the big building back of the church?'
 None of the men knew. It was, as a matter of fact, the parish house. Leth- bridge, however, knew its function.
 'Fine prospect that!'' he drawled. | That's where the Sunday school is held, and where they keep the plated knives and forks for the church sup pers.''
 Its darned fine building" said Huff. "What would they do if it burned down?"
 | They were too unfamiliar with | church affairs to hazard a guess. Eli nor, who had been sitting silent, sud denly voiced an objection to Huff's un- spoken plan.
 There must be some other way" she said. "The ehildren-they have sewing classes and entertainments for the children there. It's the parish house."
 "If lightning struck the parish house l tonight" Huff said quite eagerly. iS ihui Ioy Cuhudy ing they would. be taking up whack- ing big collection to rebuild il"
 The idea had taken hold of his imagi- nation. Even the suggestion that a large part of the offertory might be in checks mattered not. But Elinor was obdurate.
 You can do it some place else" she said. Not here. They struggled very hard to build the church and they need money now. MT. Ward told me"
 Huff turned on her jealously.
 "Ward-that's the preacher chapw
 "He Is the assistant rector" Elinor replied with dignity.
 He's been coming here, then?"
 Twice Once when father died, and once to warn me against all of you" Not that she had forgotten that few minutes in the garden, under the moon i; but that had been an accident-hardly a call.
 Talbot chuckled. But Huff was thinking hard. Elinor had been differ ent lately, little softer. Ward rep resented all that the men EGnor knew were not-law to their violence, order

to their disorder. There was almost snarl in his voice.
 He'd better stay down in his valley with his old women," he said, land leave you alone. You don't need him."
 "Im not so sure of that" Ellnor re- piled quietly, and left him staring.
 Hyff burned the parish house the next night. He did it himself, without the assistance of the band. Into 1t he put not only the devilish ingenuity of long experience, but his new hatred of Ward.
 Church property Is always easy of access. It was the work of five min- utes to crawl through a basement win dow and of half an hour to make his preparations.
 He looked at his watch when he had finished. It was just midnight. In two hours, or before the fire began, he would be back in the city, establishing his alibi.
 The fire-whistles in the village wakened Elinor at something after three o'clock All of her room was filled with the red glare of the burn- ing parish house. Old Henriette knocked at her door.
 "The church Is burning down in the valley" she called. Its grand sight"
 Elinor was throwing on her clothing.
 She must see Ward. She would sell her pearls. She would build a new parish house. She said this over and over to herself as she struggled down the hill.
 A new parish house, better than the old, with plenty of room for the chill dren to play in! At least it was night, and the children safe in their beds; thank God for that! She was too dis 'turbed to notice that she had thanked the God in whom she did not believe.
 The fire had gained too much head way to be checked All the efforts of the volunteer department and the small engine were directed toward saving the church. For time 1t seemed as If Saint Judes must go.

thing" He was trying to be calm and judicial. But his voice sounded far off; his heart pounded in his ears. "To marry because one is alone. or needs friends-is flimsy foundation to build on."
 Once again Elinor surprised him.
 "There have been few really great passions in the world" she said. "I could almost count them on my fingers. The rest of us seem to get along with out.'
 Perhaps there are more than we hear about. Every now and then, in my work, come across something so much greater than had expected, self sacrifice, love, charity, as to justify my faith in mankind"
 Your faith !'' ElinOr said softly. That is what I envy you-your faith. Not only your faith in your kind, but the other sort"
 Faith, hope and nritv-and the greatest of these is faith. Alas for old Hilary, who had not kept his
 T had a governess once who had that sort of faith; it was great com fort to her. But I sit here on my hill- side, and 1t seems to me that spread out at my feet is all the injustice and cruelty and hatred in the world. And your God allows 1t all. My father tried to believe-tried hard, but he said that when he asked for bread they gave him a stonen
 Do you know who said that?"

 Rather surprised, he let 1t go at that
