A series Of cold and unpleasant
days, such as last week brought us,
puts people to the test. And it is
not necessary to be present to be
irreverent or ungodly. "As a man
thinketh in his heart so is he" Civ
ing voice to impotence, petulance
and fretfulness because of discom-
fort, disappointment, Inconvenience
or loss, on account Of bad weather,
questioning the wisdom Of a Provi-
dence, which in working toward the
behefcence of millions disturbs, for
a time. the ease or pleasure Of some
scattered units, is bad enough, in
truth, that it may well be doubted
whether profanity can make it
worse or more foolish. But how
much worse it is than an inward
raging, a rebelious spirit which holds
its peace not out of any reverence
or that love of God, which has
been truly called the beginning of
wisdom, but tremendously, out of
regard for what have been ordain-
ed as the proprieties of life and
which may not be disregarded with
importunity7
We had but one pleasant day in

other SIX is called philosophy. II
may more properly be called relig-
ion, and such as are blessed with
such hearts of grace are more truly
religious, if outside the pale of tac
church, than those, less fortunate,
who are within the pale. A contin-
uing streak of bad weather is among
the best tests of religion. Such as
profane outwardly may be of the
unregenerate. But they who pro-
fame, or complain, cannot yet be
counted among the saved. They
fall far short of the high religious
sentiment in Riley's two best lines:

And when it rains, why, rains lay

BE COMMENTED

Don't be a grumbler: Some people
contrive to get hold of the prickly
side of everything; to run up
against the sharp corners and find
out all the disagreeable things. Half
the strength spent in growing would
often set things right. You may as
well make up your mind to begin
with, that no one ever found the
world as he would ike it; but you
are to take your share of the
troubles and bear them bravely
You will be very sure to have
troubles laid upon you that belong
to other people, unless you are a
shirk yourself, but don't grumble
If the work needs doing, and you
can do it, never mind about the
other person who ought to have
done it and didn't. Those workers
who fill up the gaps and smooth
away the rough spots, and finish up
the job others leave undone. they
are the true peacemakers, and worth
a whole lot of GROWERS.

WOMEN AT WORK IN ENGLAND
Not Fewer Than 0,oo0 Are Employed In Munition Factories Alone,
 Says French Writer.

Baroness de Brimont offers in the Revue de Paris figures for the num- Der of women employed In England which she afilrms she has verified by reference to official sources. No few CT than 420,OOO are in the intuition fac tories; 210,OO0 are employed in con nection with army and navy camps or establishments: 10000 in stores; 12o,OO0 In secretarial work; 111,0W In garment making; and 100000 In trans portation. or in metal shops not en- gagged in intuition making.
 Below the hundred thousand mark the totals. beginning with nearly @,0Oo engaged in agriculture, run down to 10000 women engaged in the printing and binding trades. Not fewer than million are engaged in war-work. Es. inmates made some time ago by writers like Mrs. Humphry Ward, indicate that the Frenchwoman's computation is conservative.
 The baroness, and commentator in LOpinion, point out that the partici- patton of women in industry in France in consequence of the war Is less ex- tensive Not only the totals show it; the breadth of the English movement Is indicated by the unparalleled strength of organizations like the Ma tional Union of Woman Workers and woman police. and its solidity by the more national working basis-the week being shorter than in France. Sunday more inflexibly observed, and rest-pe- riods more r-".rent

Agitators Not Wanted

Considerable excitement was occa- stoned in Dermott last week when Geo. w. Poland and s. l.. Phillips, repre- senting the International Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, came here and called a meeting of ne gro laborers to be held in the Dukes Hall. A large crowd gathered, but the authorities promptly dispersed them and put stop to the affair, ordering Poland and Phillips out of town.
 The men claim to have legitimate grievance against the railway company, but this is no time to be calling meet ings for any such purpose. Canning the Kaiser" includes prohibiting this sort of thing, and as the Dermott of ticers are very much Ion the job other agitators may just as well give our town wide berth.

GERMANS HALT and
Will MAKE Stand
Famous HindenbGrg Line In
France Will Shortly Be
Scene Of Great Conflict

The Germans, according to the
latest British and French official
communications, apparently are
ending their retreat along the front
in France and are preparing to give
battle everywhere to their oncoming
foes. Paris reports that between the
Somme and the Disc the Germans
made successive violent attacks
against the French troops holding
the east bank of the St. Quentin
canal, but that the French machine
guns stopped them. Attacks also
were delivered by the Germans be-
tween the Laon road and the river
Aisne, but the French barrage fire
broke them up.
London reports that from the
south of the Arres to the west of
St. Quentin, along the entire British
front the Germans are stiffening
their resistance increasingly. The
only advance by the Entente along
the French Front is claimed by the
French, who crossed the Ailette riv-
er at several points.
The communication of the Berlin
war Office asserts that on both sides
of the Somme and Disc rivers en-
gagements between Germans and
Entente advance detachments have
resulted favorably for the Germans.
For the first time since the great
German retreat began patrol and
rear guard fighting has given way
to the thunder of artillery and the
clash of major forces. The German
are making a stand on the north
and south of La Fere, from st.
Simon to the forest of Cucy, dis
tance roughly estimated at about
twenty miles.
On this wedge is based the hopes
of French military critics that Cen
eral Nivelle has outmaneuvered
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
that La Fere is doomed and with it
the whole of the famous Hindenburg
line. Paris believes that the extraor-
dinary speed with which the French
have advanced has disconnected the
German plans and renders probable
a continuation of the retirement to
the Belgian frontier.
