WHY PRoCRAsTINATE?

Millions of people are procrastinat-
ing about the liberty bonds which they
intend to buy-either of this issue or
of the next, or the next.
This procrastination is fatal to a
certain phase of result which it is
important to produce.
What we must demonstrate TO set
the quickest results in winning the
war is that the spirit Of the whole
people is abreast of the magnificent
progress which has been made by the
nation in six short months, in placing
the country on a war footing. The
enormous resources of the United
States in material, manufactures, food.
men and money. have been modified
to an unbelievably vast extent and
have been placed at the disposal of the
allies to help win the war.
In the one item of soldiers sent to
the front. says The Bache Review, the
results have been amazing. Hundreds
of thousands of our trained men are
in France-five times as many as
probably any one imagines.
Now the fuel to keep the fires of
the whole vast movement burning is
money.
And in the storing up of this, ev-
cry patriotic soul in the country can
help.
The moral effect of an overwheIm-
ing response to the call for money
must be incalculable in discouraging
the enemy. The German machine is
slowly disintegrating. But the quick
er the process of wearing down the
brutaIscourage. pride and will of the
German government and people, to
work further horrors, the fewer pre-
| cious lives will have to be sacrificed
| in the cause of liberty
Payments now into bond subscrip-
tons may, therefore, be measured ir
terms of blood saved-of lives re-
deemed from slaughter.
These are thoughts that should
wake up the most passive plodder il
the ranks of those who have little OIL
much money. to do their duty to the
straining point.

WHY NOT TRUST THE PEoPLE2


The 1O2d regiment of United States
infantry has arrived safely in France
and the people of Connecticut-whe
the regiment came from-have been
told about it. The regiments colonel
cabled the news to the governor of
Connecticut, the censors permitted the
cablegram to pass to its destination.
and the governor gave out the news
This is contrary to the policy of Sc
crecy which surrounds our military
operations in Europe, and the depart
ments at Washington have famed up
in anger The offending colonel is to
be disciplined, and the governor may
have to be impeached.
We are the only belligerent country
in the war whose people are denied
the right to know that their troops
have been transported to the region
that the government can command is
being worked to the utmost to secure
subscriptions to the liberty loans and
to stimulate the patriotic activities of
the nation, yet we are not permitted to
know officially that our boys have es-
capped the dangers of the submarine
zone The administration may think
that it can carry on this war in cor
ner behind the door but such a policy
is open to criticism.

HAS THE WORM TURNED?

German piracy seems at last to
have aroused the hitherto neutral
Scandinavian nations. 1t is reported
that Germany's northern neighbors
are about to file a protest on account
of the wholesale sinking of their ships
last week
1t has been rule of international
law honored and accepted for CEN
turtles by every civilized nation that in
time of war merchant vessels, wheth-
er neutral or belhgerent. should not
be sunk by an enemy war vessel until
the lives of the passengers and crews
were first made safe.
Germany consistently since the out
break of this war has DESTROYED mer-
chant vessels on the high seas without
warning, sending to death noncom-
Blatant men and women and children
without mercy and in the most brutal
and ruthless fashion in defiance of in
ternational law and every accepted
rule of humanity and civilization. The
browning act of infamy in Germany's
ruthless policy was the sinking on
May I, 1915. of the Lusitania. an I'M
armed passenger vessel. by which ia
American citizens, some of them babes
in arms. lost their lives.
On September l, 1915, the German
government gave assurance to the
United States that liners would not be
sunk without warning or without pro-
vision for the safety of the lives of
noncombatants. Six weeks later the
/ British steamer Arabic was sunk and
three Americans lost their lives. The
German government promptly dis
avowed the act. but scarcely had the
disavowal been received before the
promise was broken again by the de-
struction of the Italian steamer An
coma, by which seven American lives
we're destroyed. The promise was re-
newed many times and violated MANY
times the German government keep
ing no faith with the United States
Finally. on January 81, 1917. il
brazenly declared that it would sinh
neutral vessels within the war zone
without warning, whereupon diplo.
matte relations between the United
States and Germany We're severed.
Many similar outrages have beer
peFpetrated upon the Scandinavia
countries and they have borne then
without open resentment. probably
thru fear. 1t seems that they hav,
now reached the limit of endurance

TRAWELETTE
Sandy Springs.
BY NIKsAH

In one of the richest farming sec
tions of Maryland lies the little town
of Sandy Springs. Like demure lit
tie Quaker lady the town has the
quaint charm of age and dignity and
peace. The beautiful old homes
shaded by stately trees have an air
of permanency. I'VE were here be-
fore your grandmother grandmoth-
er's time" they seem to say, while
dignified little bank and numerous
motor cars lend an air of Thrift and
prosperity.
| The people are among the most
| progressive farmers in tie state.
There are no wornout farms in Sandy
| Springs. In most cases the land has
| been the hands of the same fam
| lily for g .erations. The Millers,
| Stablers. Thomases and Bentleys farm
| the land their ancestors farmed and
farm it well. on the Bentley farm
| the Bentley apple was first grown,
CRAFTS of which have been sent all
over the world. even to faraw " Jap
an. a Caleb Bentley ran the first
store in the village in the early days.
| Sandy Springs was first settled in
1929 by party of Quakers who
found in the tolerant laws of Mary
| land a refuge from the persecution
that they had suffered in New Eng
land. The won en- in the party found
| the sandy waters of a tiny sprag
about one-half of mile south of the
village useful in washing and scour-
ing. and called the new town SANDY
! Springs in its honor.
They were a simple and kindly peo-
pie these sturdy Friends. The story
is told of one pair of boots and sin
| gle great coat owned by the colony
and loaned to any daring member Of
the party undertaking the long and
tedious journey to Annapolis or any
other distant town. Once so the
| legend runs, when this famous great
coat was being worn on a trip by
James Brooke he'was attacked by a
panther His bullets d given out so
he jerked a hutton from the coat
placed it in his musket, fired and
killed the panther with the button.
1t is not recorded whether he had to
make gocS the 10 to the community

could not help thinking about Murray
Andrews. She hated herself for
weakness; she wished for chance to
do battle with herself. and try 10 over
come her feeling toward him, II was
so evident that he cared nothing Ior
her. and never would!
Ellen sat alone in the library. when
there came a ring at the bell, ana the
maid brought in Murray Andrews
card. Ellen gave. her hair hasty
that she had not been wearing glng-
ham frock Why, she looked Just IKE
last summer! in the country! And
Murray was so very correct, with MS
stick and the gardenia in his button
hole The girl felt a pail of shyness
descend upon her After all. she was
not of his kind.
MY cousins are not at home" she
told him. II am very sorry"
1T was you l came to see, ne sald.
Il had not hoped for such luck as to
find, YOU alone. Such a belle as you
were last night"
Don't! she cried. You're teas
ing me- I'm not a belle. and 1 was
never meant to be. Can't you see
I'm Just the same old country Ellen
YOU knew last summer? There's no
use my pretending to be any differ
ent. I'm not"
I'm glad" he said. Last night
I was half afraid-you seemed so
beautiful, so sophisticated. SO uIllke
the little you l had learned to love-"
Don't say that" she breathed.
You haven't any right to love-
why not. when 1 do love you? 1
came around this afternoon just to
| tell you so; that is. if you were my
own sweet Ellen, instead of the won
derful young beauty of last night.
Didn't you know, child; didn't you
guess, that 1 loved you? Why I was

to win you! And 1 wanted you as
you are--sweet and simple. One sees
enough of naughty girls with wonder
full clothes but there are not many like

God made them. When will you
| marry me, Ellen?"
"Just think of our country cousin
carrying off the lion of the season"
remarked Dorothy to her sister late
that evening. 'Ellen's a wonder in
her way"
Yes" agreed Louise. but I'm sure
it was the blue chiffon gown that did
it. You know yourself that he never

Lack Of organization and effective
cooperation has cost the nations OPP
posing Germany thousands of lives
and billions of money since the begin
ming of the war. This is shown in
the ease with which Germany has
shifted her armies from one front to
another. wherever a weak spot has
appeared she has been able to
strengthen it without interference. 1t
must be apparent that if withdrawal
of her troops from any section of the
fighting line had been followed by
an allied offensive at that particular
point. such Withdrawals would have
been less frequent. Large bodies of
both Austrian and German soldiers
have been taken from the eastern
front for service against the Italians.
Since it has been known for months
that the Russians could not or would
not take advantage of the situation,
there should have been a Japanese
army on hand for that purpose. The
policy of only one army fighting at a
time has prevailed anon gthe entente
allies from the beginning of the wac.

Terse Comments on the Uniform
PRAYER Meeting Topic of the Young
Peoples Societies-Christian En-
deavor. Etc.-For October 20:
Ministering to Christ Matt
25:31-46.
There is a beautiful unconscious
ness in the highest Christian life and
service. 1t is not aware of it's own
righteousness In Christ's picture of
the Judgment the righteous exclaim in
amazement, when saw we thee an
hungered?' 90 They have not minis
tered for an object; they are not even
conscious of their ministry. But the
spirit of love so permeAtes anc pos
sesses them that they go thru life serv-
ing Jesus unawares. The best man
knows not his own goodness. He is
noble and helpful because it is his ma
ture to be SO; he cannot help it any
more than the sun can help diffusing
light or the flowers fragrance.
No Christian service can be slight.
for it is all FOR Christ" The least
and lowliest of. our deeds are exalted
by this great truth, that they may be
done in the name of the Lord Jesus.
No post of service is too obscure for
the exercise of-the privilege of minis
tering to Jesus.
A life of helpfulness honors Christ
more than all the professions we can
make. No other badge worn by~a be-
lever can equal this one of simple
helpfuIness. To go thru the world
ministering to people is to preach a
lifelong sermon on the glory of
Christ.
A cup of cold water may be trans
formed into the water Of life.
Eternity will be spent in serving
Christ; can we therefore ignore Him
during time2
Because Christs heart was all love
His life was all ministry.
Christly deeds exalt Christ. Those
of our actions which show forth His
character are a means of exalting
Him, SO that all who behold us see
the glory of Christ. No good and
honorable deed that we do fails to
lift up the Saviour whose love is our
We may serve Christ by serving the
church. 1t is possible for us to run
too far afield in search of special
work to do for the Master, when right
at hand in our own churches there
are pressing and important duties
awaiting U.S. There is something
radically wrong with the Christian
Endeavor principles of the young per-
son who is active and prominent in
outside work but-non-effective in the
affairs of his own church.
1t was a sin of omission that re-
ceived the great condemnation in
ChriSt's picture of the judgment. I'VE
did it not" were the words of doom.
Simple failure to serve men and
Jesus brings US into condemnation.
We have only to omit being helpful
to the great needy world about US to
learn the stern word Of judgment
Dare We then, shut yourselves off
from the myriad claims of suffering
humanity remaining deaf to the cries
for succor that come to US on every
