BE JUST, FIGHT BRAVELY.

Theodore Roosevelt, at the request of
the New York Bible society, which is
trying to put copy of The scriptures
in the hands of every American fight
ing man, has sent the following mes
sage through the organization to the
soldiers and sailors of the nation
"The teachings of the New Tesla
ment are foreshadowed in Micah s
verse: What more doth the Lord re-
quire of thee than to do justice, and to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God.
"Do justice; and therefore fight val
iantly against the armies of Germany
and Turkey, for these nations in this
crisis stand for the reign of Moloch and
Beelzebub on this earth.
Love mercy; treat prisoners well,
succor the wounded; treat every woman
as if she were your sister; care for the
little children, and be tender with the
old and helpless
walk humbly; and you will do so if
you study the life and teachings of the
Savior"

The Garden Wall.

The fashiOning of a garden wall is
something more than the laying Of
stone upon stone. 1t is complex In its
very simplicity. 1t is bit of work
that demands the skilled hand of an
artist, tenderly directed and guided by
Il heart full of love. Jewels are being
set. The earnestness of the worker,
in the sort of subconscious expression
he is giving to his soul, makes the true
garden wall endearing and enduring.
A sylvan monument has been created.
Walls like this grow to welcome the
friendly green moss and the clinging
vines, and invite the shy aud tiny flow
ers to live within friendly crevices.
The gardens within these walls are
and ought to be, us simple and sweet
and unpretentous ms the protecting in
closures. The flowers should just seem
TO be what they are and where they
are as If nature had not seemingly
been curbed and refined by finishing
school for young ladies, but had been
gently aided In her work by synpa-
thetic hands.-Exchange.

which go to make our enormous pros
perity.
Every individual in America has a
direct personal interest in this war
aside from the common interest which
we have in the welfare of our country.
We shall win, of course, and we shall
never consent to quit as losers, but when
the possibility of losing is even contem-
plated, the cost and the horror of it is
sufficient to awaken every man and
women to the full responsibility of pa
triotic citizenship.
The following, bearing upon the sub
ject, is from the Kibourn Weekly
Events, and it is worthy of thought:
when Noah predicted the food,
people jeered, and scoffed, and contra
dicted But the flood came, and only
his family survived to say i told you
so to the silent hills and desoate
plains" Now, when wise men and
statesmen declare that the United
States is threatened with invasion and
practical disaster by German victory,
men repeat the story of Noah and his
ark. We have gone on for generations
in self-conscious Importance and mag
med impregnability. depending on size
and conceit to preserve our prestige
and boosted power. Our future had
caused envy and jealousy among other
nations. But for the present war we
would by now have been engaged in an
unprepared struggle to maintain the
Monroe doctrine, our commercial pres
tige and our colonial acquisitions. Moth
ing but our participation in the present
war could avert the certainty of having
to fight the victor. Nothing but dom
mating position among the victors now
can save us from invasion and reprisals
after peace is declared This is not
idle talk, political buncombe or war
scare. As sure as that the revolution
Of the earth will bring day and night,
will our continued prosperity and
wonderful development depend on the
winning Of this war.

By what system of reason or justice

They owe it to the government because
of the opportunity afforded them thru

IMPORTANCE OF WINNING.

State Secretary Hull,
Because the war is far away many
people do not realize how serious the
conflict is to them individually as well
as collectively. If Germany should win
the war the consequences 10 the United

they would be to France and Great

than to Italy and Russia. We now are

RELEASE OF SAILORS
relieves SITUATION
Freeing of Yarrowdale Prisoners BY
Germany Lightens Tension.

One aggravating feature Of the inter
national situation was cleared up yester-
day when the State Department received
a report from American Ambassador Jo-
seph E. Willard. at Madrid, that the
Yarrowdale prisoners had been released.
Ambassador Willard said the American
sailors had been freed by Germany on
February 16 but gave no further details.
These seventy-two Americans wers
brought into Germany on the British
steamer Yarrowdale and had been held
by the German government for nearly
two months. In response to a peremp-
tory demand for their release sent Just
previous TO the severance Of diplomatic
relations with Germany the United
States was officially advised that they
had been set free.
Since the breaking of of diplomatic
relations several inquiries sent to the
German government. through the Swiss
government. brought indefinite replies.
Off1cial advices to the State Department,
however. indicated that the men were
still held captives. Early last week the
State Department sent a second demand
that the men be freed. While this de-
mand stated no time limit. 1t amounted
practically to an ultimatum. In spite Of
the fact that this last peremptory de-
mand was in the hands of the German
foreign office last Monday. 1t was not
until yesterday that the Washington gov
ernment was officially notified of the re-
lease OF the prisoners.
