II thro' this roar O. the guns one prayer
may reach thee,
Lord Of all Life. whose mercies never
sleep,
Not in our time, not now. Lord, We
beseech thee
To grant us peace. The sword has
bit too deep.
We may not rest. We hear the vail

Mourning the sons who fill some
nameless grave!
Fast us. in dreams. the ghosts march
OF our brothers:
Who were most valiant
whom we could not save.
Hark, tho roar grows the
thunderS reawaken--
We ask one thing, Lord, only one
thing now:
Hearts high as theirs. who went to
death mistaken.
Courage like theirs to make and
keep their vow.
To stay not till these hosts whom mer.
cies harden,
Who know no glory save of the
sword and fire.
Find In our fro the splendor Of thy
pardon,
Meet from our steel the mercy they
desire.
Then to our children there shall be
no handing
Of fates so vain--of passions so alb

But Peace the Peace which
passeth understanding

Labor Chiefs Folly

n CCORDlNG TO John P. White, president
[ OF the United Mine Workers of America
the recent appeal Of the Council! OF National
Defense to the miners, that they do not
strike during the war is an attempt to re-
we servitude. The miners, he SAYS in p
letter 10 President Wilson, must not he

Russian serfdom."
This is dryel. The Council of National
Defense asks nothing of the men 1t does not
also ask OF the coal operators 1t will af-
lord the same protection as to wages it
endeayors to obtain for tho government and
the consumer. Existing war conditions have
enabled the producers Of coal to raise prices
100 per cent and moro. to the great injury
OF manufactures and the oppression OF the
people To this injury and oppression a
general strike might we'll add the throttling
OF the nations military and naval efficiency.
The production of coal is a basic industry
on which many other industries are depen-
dent The government in time of war Is
dependent on il also. Unless peace between
miners and operators and reasonable prices
can be assured by Cancellation, the one thing
for the government TO do is to take over the
business And that. If the need arises, is
what it will do.

'Household Organization for War
Service" by Theta Quay Franks has
just been published by 6. p. Putnams
Sons. American women spend annual
~. in the home, $4,000. 000, 900. The
Department of Agriculture estimates
that s700,O00,00O of this sum is wasted.
Could women adopt finer form of ma
tional service than organizing their
households for war service TO eliminate
waste? If thrift were nation wide, IL
would save hundreds of millions OF
dollars in one years time. Household

earnest plea for economy based upon
