Dear Madam:
Many thanks for your very kind let
ter, as well as the two boxes of stamps
and other useful articles, which all
without exception will be used for the
benefit of the missions. Kindly ex-
press our ~sincerest thanks and our
heartfelt appreciation to all those
who have in this way helped the mis-
sionaries to carry on their work of
charity. They appreciate their CO.
operation now so much more since
they can expect no or hardly any help
and support from the nations who are
now involved in the world war. What
will become of them now that the Uni
ted St4tes has entered into the great
conflict is hard to say. They will GER
talnly be in the greatest distress since
there is no country from where they
can expect any aid.
Under separate cover | am sending
you an assortment of our free pamph-
lets. Also a few copies of the Little
Missionary. l would be particularly
grateful to you for spreading this
magazine.
Your books in introducing the large
volume of the Holy Scriptures in Ger
mar will be gratefully accepted.
Thanking you once more for your
cooperation and decided interest in
the foreign mission work and promis-
ing you a remembrance at the altar,
l remain.
Yours sincerely in Xto,
BRUNO HAGSPIEL. S. Y. D.

join the Marines

From June 10 to June 16 has been set
apart as Marine Corps week, and spe-
cial effort is to be made during those
days to add 1000 recruits to that corps
to bring it up to the strength lately au-
thorized by Congress.
No other branch Of the military serv-
ice appeals more strongly to the popular
sentiment than the Marine Corps. 1t has
splendid record of accomplishments.
1t has figured in practically every con-
flict and operation conducted by this
government in the course Of its wars
and interventions. A phrase has so often
come over the cables from distant
points of American activity, "The ma
rines have landed and have the situa-
ton well in hand" that it has become
the standard formula of performance.
Whether on guard duty or on the fight
ing line, the marines have always borne
themselves efficiently, and today that
service offers an exceptional opportunity
to young Americans who want to be of
actual use to the country.
In the weeks or months to come the
marines will be busy, on board ship and
on shore stations, and even doubtless on
the firing line. Promotion and honor
may be. won by almost any man who
during these next six days joins the
ranks.

conclusions. They are not always sue
cessful in their experiments, nor ever
discouraged by their failures. In one
fashion or another, they keep on keep
ing on.
In the Senate the state has record
of eminence and usefulness dating far
back. One of the saddest sacrifices of
the civil war was that of Senator Baker
of Oregon, a brilliant man, who insisted
on serving the country as soldier In
the field, and was killed in action. No
senator of his day had greater prestige
or brighter prospects.
Many years later came ]. n. Dolph, a
lawyer Of high grade, and great force.
After serving two terms, he was de-
feated for the third by the champions
of free silver. With marked courage
he took the gold standard side Of the
controversy, and though he lost office as
the result, he had the satisfaction of
seeing the state in the end come around
10 his view.
Mr.. Lane, whose service in the Senate
was short, was man of spirit and in
dependence of Judgment, highly regard
ed by all who knew him, while Mr..
Chamberlain, now in Office, has been
rapidly growing in esteem and national
influence until he figures today in a
prominent place among those giving
shape to war legislation He is an au-
thority on army matters.
Mr.. ,MeNary, therefore, makes his
debut in a<forum where his state has
always stood high, and at time when,
there and elsewhere, all the states are
expecting the best possible service of
their sons in commission.

venge for the smashing Of that quaint
medieval Belgian city. First, it was i'm
portant to straighten the line. Next, the
capture of the ridge gives the British
artillery dominance for any operations
that may be in contemplation against
Lille, which lies about ten miles from
Messines. This cannot be reviewed as
an isolated operation and must be ac-
cepted as significant of new offensive
with probably Lille as the objective.
Hindenburg recently reported to EN-
peror William that the allied assaults
had been definitely stopped on the west
front. The nttaek on Afessines ridge,
with the capture Of 6,4oo German pris-
oners, is probably Gen. Haig's answer to
this boast.
