DEDICATION:

nineteen centuries Civilization has
failed to accept honestly the teachings
of Jesus Christ.
This is ar allegorical story of a war
that has laughed at the worlds fiaunt-
ing boast Of a higher progress.
1t does not concern itself as to which
side is in the right or wrong; but
deals with those ranks which are pay
ing the grim pcnalty-the ranks of
Humanity.
If the awful trail of battle stretches
wildly through the scenes of the mar
rative, it is in the hope that shocked
and appalled, world may henceforth
devote itself more earnestly in the
cause of peace. Let our Civilization
not be a mockcry of our cherished
ideals, but rather a synonym Of that
glorious work-Humanity
Dedicated to that vast, pitiful army
whose tears have girdled the universe
the mothers of the dead.

BILL COMMANDERS
SHIPPING INDUSTRY
New Measure Empowers President
To Seize Every Required Material.

Yielding to international pressure
for ships-snd yet more ships-the
Administration has prepared its new
bill authorizing President Wilson to
take over at shipping yards in the
country and materials used in con-
struction OF vessels.
1t will be introduced in Congress
Monday, Senator Fletcher stated to-
day.
The bill, according to Fletcher, is
'the most drastic of its kind" ever
presented to Congress. II will en-
power the President TO commander
not only all shipyards, but all steel,
lumber and everything else entering
into construction of the ships.
Shipping Boards Task.
The work itself eventually will
fall into the hands of the Govern
ment shipping board as directing
head OF the great work.
General Goethals will be in charge
OF construction.
The new shipping bill is another
OF the measures bound to draw the
fire OF those in the Senate opposed to
the centering Of "autocratic power"
in the hands OF the President.
Many Democrats as well as Repub-
licans are becoming more insistent In
their protests against the tendency
to pass all problems along to the
President.
President To Control.
But little doubt is held that the
President will substantially have his
way.
A bill authorizing him to comman-
deer all ships in the country is now
before Congress.
This measure, combined with the
new bin, will place the entire ship
ping industry In the nation entirely at
the Executives disposal.
