WAR. THE CHURCH AND MORALS.

The effect Of the European wal upon the world annot eve be guessed
at this time. Changes will be made elm the map Of the world as a result of
the struggle; forms of government will likewise undergo change; the future
economic status is a matter of conjecture. Every oe of the great nations
will either verge upon bankruptcy orb seriously crippled financially if the
struggle is prolonged for any length of time, avs the Lafayette Journal
But the material questions involved are not the most important by any
means. How will mankind emerge from this terrible ordeal. What effect
will it have upon the moral sensiblfies; how much of the progress up
ward, achieved by centuries Of sacrifice and toll, viii have been sacrificed?
What handicaps will have been placed upon. the church rs a result of this
carnival Of slaughter?
Aside from the questions OF right and justice involved n the precni
tation of the conflict itself, there has been a letting down of the moral law

of property, and the slaughter of little children who have been sptted upon

DR.. Engel, N Of the aldermen Of Berlin, asserts that 100000 ilegfi
mate children have been born in Germany since the beginning of the IA
and that this number is increasing at the rate of 10000 annually in Berlin.
While n o figures ire available at this time it is certain that England and
France are experiencing similar conditions. while the situation in nations
in eastern and southeastern Europe "a only be guessed at. Certainly they
infinitely worse.
In Germany every encouragement is being given unmarried women to
bear children. Exceptional care is given to mothers and prospective moth
ers: they car 90 to government hospitals during confinement and ire pro-
vfded with nourishng food. Girls working. in factories are given from four
to six weeks vacation with full pay, and the city pays the bill of physician
and nurses wherever necessary. 1t is considered a badge of disoyaty not
ear children at this time.
Under such circumstances it Is not strange that prostitution, in the
accepted sense. has decreased materially. When the entire womanhood
Of a nation is taught that the sacrifice of virtue is a matter of patriotism.

it is small wonder that the harot who sells her body for a price finds busi

by more than 100000 and unless the government takes steps to legntma

Sable Fish.

The United States bureau Of fish
cries is trying to popularize the sable
fish, which is found ia large numbers
OFF the coasts of the Northwestern
states and Alaska. 1t has been almost
entirely neglected as a food, although
of high quality.
The sable fish is also called the
black cod. Last fall fishermen caught
the sable fish in large quantities. Most
Of the catches went into cold storage.
In order to bring this fish to the
attention of dealers, thereby causing
a more general consumption, the fish
cries bureau has prepared some print
ed matter on the subject.

NEW WAR VESSEL UNcANNY
John Hays Hammond, Jr., Operates
Coast Defense Boat by
Wireless.

The most uncanny vessel afloat In
American waters is anchored in the
cove at West Gloucester, Mass. The
only craft TO be seen, it is the new
coast-defense boat invented by John
Hays Hammond, Jr. You feel that 1t
Is uncanny when you look at it afioat
In the little harbor and realize That
without a soul on beard 1t can never
theless be directed in any direction,
and when 1t Is In line with an enemy
ship 1t can fire a broadslde as effec-
lively as big man-of-war with a full
crew and complement of trained gun
ners.
The wireless Is the explanation.
From the coast Mr.. Hammond can
start the motor on the boat, set the
steering gear as he likes, and then
train the guns ON any desired target.
1t Is just another Of the marvels which
modern warfare has brought into be-
ing.
AS to It's practlcabillty, the inventor
Is modest but positive.
ITS all right for coast-defense work"
he says, "and it is comparatively so
simple that one q week can be turned
out by shipbuilder without difficulty
In the event OF big order, the parts
could be standardized and made In
Wholesale lots, so that the output
could be greatly increased"
OF course Hr. Hammond Is not tell
ing the details OF this new invention,
but the boat is ready for service, and
from the window of his laboratory in
West Gloucester the inventor can look
out on the little harbor and keep an
eye on his new craft. which may play
a part in the world war II the United
States becomes involved in 1t.

SCHOOL GARDENING NOT FAD
Tendency in Some Quarters Not to
Regard New Development Serious
ly ls Decrled.

The federal bureau Of education Of
the department of the interior has is
sued a pamphlet, Gardening in Ele-
mentary City Schools" which covers
the progress and prospects of school
gardening. The testimony presented
by school officials from cities of more
than 5000 population in all parts Of
the country indicates that while gar
den work is offered in the schools Of
about four hundred cities and enthu-
siastically praised by the school Off
cials of these cities, there is still ten
dency In some quarters to regard 1t
merely as another educational fad
This it certainly is not. The United
States is still an agricultural country,
and the teaching Of gardening brings
the schools at one point closer 10 the
real business of the country than any,
thing else taught, says the Indianapo-
lis News.
But of course there must be some
system about teaching gardening The
natural desire for garden must be
cultivated and conserved, so that the
transition from play to work can be
accomplished. This is theFproblem of
the educators. Many cities have com
planned that they cannot get good
teachers to undertake the work. The
school authorities will have to cultt
vate teachers as the children cultivate
their gardens-that is, if they are to
meet the demand. For 1t appears
from the government report that school
gardening has won it's place. 1t has
developed the home garden under
school supervision, and this has proved
not only its educational worth, but
also its economic worth.

COOPERATION LIFE TO CITY
comranity Which Does Not Encour-
age Growth Of individuals and
Industries Cannot Thrive.

Speaking before the gathering Of
bdsiness men Of Baltimore at ban
quet in his honor, Charles NJ. Schwab
said No large industry can thrive in
community unless it enjoys the good
will and the support Of that commu-
nifty"
That statement is as true of the
small industry as of the large indus
try, and it is true of the individual
business man as well.
And there is also truth in the state
ment that the community cannot
thrive which does not give to the lndi-
yiduals and to the small industries as
well as to the large industries stu
ated therein every encouragement to
growth and expansion.
Cooperation is the life Of the city.
Without it there can be no city In the
true sense. There may be an aggre-
CATION Of houses, of businesses and OF
people-but that does not make a city
as we know the city today.
The true city of the twentieth cen
fury is a place Of schools. place OF
churches, a place of wide and we'll
paved streets, a place Of Fairgrounds
and Of parks, a place of beauty and
place of culture.
1t is as well a place where every
man who is doing his share for the
mutual welfare is receiving his share
Of the credit and the profit; where the
new industry is given local support in
the period when that Is needed and
still receives that support when it
reaches prosperous maturity; where
the farmer who brings in the product
Of his labor may be sure of market
at price that is fair and just; where
the stranger receives every considers
ticn and is not robbed.
In short, the true city is a place
where people can live in happiness and
contentment, secure in the enjoyment
of pleasant homes, loyal friends and
prosperous business conditions-and
without the spirit of cooperation it Is
impossible for a city long to exist.
