WILL MATERIALISM INCREASE7

What will be the effect of the great
conflict upon the inner life Of the
peoples affected? Will the old-time
ideals and aspirations for something
above and beyond what earth can
give, survive, or will the world be en-
quilted in q wave of materialism that
shall undo and millify the efforts Of
the seers and prophets Of the ages?
Wars among Christian nations are
as fatal to the higher life Of the
people affected as is apostasy to the
community. The failure Of q people
to live up to the highest Of their
ideals, spreads in other peoples a
contempt for those ideals. Will this
be the outcome Of the present con-
flict?
We for one do not believe it will.
We do not believe it, for the reason
that the world-Or at least the great
er part Of its today fighting ma
terialism in its most dangerous form.

for this war, the higher life is q neg

to be entirely overshadOwed by the
baser nature.
The world has pretty well arrived
at q definite knowledge Of the fact
that William Of Germany il the
source and inspiration Of the conflict.
True, he was aided and abetted by
kindred spirits, but those spirits were
powerless without his word.
What, then, Il the nature Of Kaiser
William? First, he IL Q monarch who
throughout his whole reign has in
sisted that he rules by divine right.
So ruling, he, in his opinion, can do
no wrong. His rights are to him
bounded and circumscribed only by his
own desires. That those desires re-
late to his own glory and that Of his
close following, there can be NO
doubt. The masses Of the German
people have been dazzled by the gilt
tering display Of militarism and the
bright promises held out to them in
the event Of victory, but the radiance
of those visions is fading, and soon
they will pass away, leaving the Ger
man people to face the coldly mater
ial fact Of defeat. Fortunate will they
be when If they can grasp the full ex-
tent Of the .unworthiness Of the cause
in which they have been fighting.
But among the allied peoples the
knowledge that they are fighting TO
preserve the highest and nOblest
phases Of life, takes deeper root a.
the conflict progresses. Their victory
must be, they fully realize, a victory
over materialism, and materialism Of
the rankest kind. They have no
dreams of world empire-simply
a consuming desire to live their own
lives according to their highest lights.
We believe that when the smoke
of the conflict shall have passed, the
world, shocked and Mortified at the
results of materialism, will decree
that never again shall it prevail, and
that mankind shall be free to pursue
it's way onward and upward to the
great destiny awaiting It.

FLOUR FAMINE is RIDICULED
Master Bakers Told Wheat Crop viii
Exceed Estimates-crop
All Late.

Chicago, Sept. 20.-Prophecies of a
famine in flour and foodstuffs were
called fabrications of the imagination
by B. A. Eckhart, chairman of the fed
eral food administrations committee
on milling for the Chicago-Milwaukee
district, in O message to the National
Association of Master Bakers, which
met In the Sherman hotel. His paper
read:
"There is no danger of famine in
foods. The wheat crop will be 49,
100000 bushels greater than the esti-
mates and it's quality will be equally
as good. Knowing this, it is pure fab
rication to say that there will be a
famine In breadstuffs this winter
"Nor need there be fear because
farmers are not shipping their wheat
as rapidly as the millers would
like. There are two causes for this
First, the lateness7 of all crops;
second, the fact that the farmers are
too busy to haul grain.

tocracy until the end.
The ambassador has an appoint
ment with Secretary of State Lansing.
1t was learned at the Russian en-
bassy. He will tell Secretary Lansing
the rumors that Russia will seek a
separate peace with Germany are
baseless, and probably are inspired by
enemy agents.
He is instructed officially by Pre-
mier Kerensky to pledge the new Rus
sian republic to make no peace I'M
til peace comes to all the world. Am
bassador Bakhmeteff will also detail
to Secretary Lansing the present sit
uation in Russia.

foreign minister, is very active, but
there Is no indication at this time
that his activities will have any con-

WINGED that Berlin is preparing public
opinion in Germany for another adroit
peace maneuver which probably will
take effect before winter.

acquired large land holdings in a rich
mineral district and is preparing to do
extensive development work at once.
The Mines and Metals company also
controls large part of the Sabinas,
Coahuila, coal fields; owns big smell

pami, Durango, and other parts Of Du-
range. This German company's hold
ings in northern Mexico now equal
those of the American Smelling and
Refining company, local mining men
say.
These German mining activities are
not war measures, the American min
ing men say but are part of the Ger

cial conquest after the war and also
offers one of the few opportunities for
large Investments of German money
abroad.
