Reflections
By VIM. II. Rawden

Britling, who ruminates on the war
during the first two or three years OF
the struggle. Fighting for God and
country" Is fine sounding phrase;
but when nations fly at one another's
throats 1t Is apt to become fight for
country, with God left out. High
sounding words will not win war;
the largest and best equipped and
officered army decides that, with the
heaviest artillery, and boundless ma
tional resources. It was Napoleon
who assumed that God was on the
side of the heaviest battalions.
Yet there Is such thing as honor,
and 1t is a good sign that men sigh
when they behold their fellows loos-
ing their grip thereon. And 1t is still
worth while believing In the ultimate
triumph OF righteousness, and at
tempting to rescue truth from for
ever suffering on the scaffold. Well
may we pray that our soldier lads
shall go forth to battle for God and
country, that manhood become not
altogether bankrupt
War, we well understand, looses
many of the basest passions of men.
There is grave danger lest the long
labor of centuries be wasted In a few
months, lest what we have SO patient
ly wrought out In the realm of per-
sonality wither In our grasp. IT re-
mains for us ell to cling tenaciously
to those things of the spirit that we
have considered worth while, and to
disseminate more widely their frag-
rance.

STRIKE AT DENTAL PLANT
STILL REMAINS THE SAME
py spscsal Correspondent,

Tottenville, Sept. 15.-The strike sit
uation at the s. s. White Dental Works
ht Prince Bay, is practically about the
eame as yesterday. All of those en-
ployes that walked out Tuesday morn
Ing when members of the committee
banned Tuesday night were discharged
hre still out and say they will not
return until the same men are placed
In their former positions and that
their demands for an eight hour day
hnd fifteen per cent increase Is CIV

includes the office force and salaried
men at work at the plant.
The striking men and girls were at
the plant yesterday afternoon at 4
O'Clock to receive their pay. Each
! department was paid off in sections
and there was no trouble. The girls
were paid first and then followed the
tmen who all formed In line and were
paid under the arch at the main
driveway of the plant. Pickets are
stationed all along the road leading to
the plant to see that none of the
atrikers return TO work. A number of
ths employees that VII alked cut Left yes
terday to seek employment at other

HONOR

"Ail's fair" so we have said time
and again, I'm love and war" That
would seem TO have become a fairly
settled axiom of daily life. The lover
laughs at every attempt to keep him
away from his loved one, and en-
ploys every artiflce to press home his
suit. And whom nations are at war,
there is no Marquis of Queensbury
standing by to enforce the rules or
the game. There are no rules. Man
gives rein to his primal savage in
stincts, and plunges forward to sue
cess at any price. Even the bystand-
ers are likely to be hurt.
Then why all this hullabaloo about
recent disclosures? Such things
might have been expected 1t is q
subtle evidence of the extent to which
we have become civilized that we ex-
claim at such practices. Neutral ma
tions have been called upon to hold
the coats of the nations at war, as 1t
were, and then surprise has been
manifested when pockets have been
rified as attention has been centered
on the combat. Moreover, the foot
has been dexterously extended, and
one of the combatants has been sent
sprawling, as some onlooker has sur
reptitiously shown his leanings one
way or the other.
The perplexity which we feel is
well put by II. @, Wells, as he depicts
the workings of the mind of Mr..
