Washington, April 4.-If anyone
lis laboring under the delusion that
the United States is merely going to
play at war; put a few hundred
thousand men under training while
the navy goes out and hunts subma-
rines; lend few hundred million
dollars to the allies and stop there,
they might as we'll wake up from
that idle dream or fantasy at once.
War, in grim reality, has been
forced on the United States, and war
is to be waged by this nation with
all the might and main and power
ahat this great republic can COM
mand-aggressiv and without stint.
Following the first session Of the
war cabinet yesterday afternoon, at
which every phase of military and
industrial preparedness and eff
cheney was discussed, 1t was known
that plans have been completed and
will be submitted to congress, day

action to receive them
The broad and sweeping character
of these general plans may be indi-
Gated by stating that in few weeks
possibly 1t will only be matter
of every young man of Amer
ica of certain ages will be called up
on to register for military service
and that one class-th that yet to be |
made known will be called to the
colors at once for intensive train
ing.
The exemptions in these classes
will be strict and rigid. In a gem
.eral way, they will apply only to
those physically unfit for service
and those who have persons in real
ity dependent upon them who would
actually become public charges in
event the person upon whom they
are dependent for support was call
ed to the colors.
1t will mean that the sons of the
rich viii serve as well as the sons
of the poor; that no person may buy
his way out OF service. Take Kan

sas for example. 1t will mean
that every young man Of certain
age will have to register for service.
While the details are yet to be
tyulged, ii is generally believed
that the 20-year-old class will be
the first one called to service, but
that the 19-year-old class up until
possibly 20 and "a may be called
upon to register for service to

Synopsis of Sermon Delivered by Rev. A. Stein at Zion
Evangelical German Lutheran Church, .Sauk
Centre, February Is, 1917.

fully appreciate the gracious gifts O.
body and soul, which God bestows up
on them.
"And if we have taken notice o.
European affairs in the last 80 years
we have noticed general falling of
from the Lord; in may instances we
find human reason and the doctrines
of men, instead of the Gospel of Jesus
in the pulpits; people did not wish tc
hear of sin, much less have their sins
pointed out to them, and their pastors
often obeyed them.
"But it is always wrong when ma
ton enters war, and are those waging
war to be condemned on account of it ?
Scriptures tell us, Romans V. is, that
it belongs to the business of the gov
eminent to govern and protect it's
subjects and their body and property,
uphold dicipline and order, and enforce
the civil laws, and if need be, use force
"for she beareth the sword not in
vain" Thus God gives the govern
ment the right to use the sword in
protecting its bounds and subjects, if
al lother means have been employed
and have failed.
GAS God has revealed the duties of
the government he has said to those
under the same: "Be subject" Thus
it is clear to us Lutherans what our
duty is, and we do not expect to hear
the opinion Of our church officers;
Gods Word is clear. From this we see
that the office of soldier does not
interfere with his Christianity, and a
citizen should as a Christian help the
government when called upon, even in
the battle and can do it in Gods
name. That this is right we see from
many examples Of the Scriptures:
When the Israelites were forced into
war they call upon God, and God Otter,
sent them leaders such as Gideon, who
led them, then their battle cry was,
"The Sword of the Lord and Gideon
When David fought against Goliah, he
said, II come in the Name of the
Lord" John 1886. Jesus said eff
my Kingdom were of this world, my
servants would fight, that I should not
be delivered to the Jews, thereby i'm
plying that the civil government has
the right to use the sword. And when
John "a, soldiers asked John what |
to do and he told them, "Do violence to
no man, neither accuse any falsely, |
and be content with your wage"
Thus we believe and confess accord |
ing to the Scripture that as Christ has |
divided Church and state they should |
remain. The Church is to preach the |
Gospel and save souls; the state has
to enact laws for the pro
lection of it's citizens and property and |
may use force to protect them. 1t is |
our duty to obey and as Christians
pray for all those in authority, as we
do in our general prayer every Sun
day: "Obey for Conscience sake"
This is the attitude of every true Lu-
theran."

TIRE HERALD
New York, Feb. "a, II

New York, Feb. "a, II
It has been a matter of conjecture
whether coat suits would return to ia
vor with the spring, or whether the
long coats by which women have
stood firm and steadfast all through
the winter would continue to satisfy
their needs in spring.
One would naturally conclude that
a coat suit in spring would be well
coined by most women after the heavy
long coats of winter. But the ques-
ton is still ODE settled. In all prob
ability there will be as many coat
suits as separate coats worn when
spring comes. Some very jaunty mod
els are being shown now, and many of
them have coats in Norfolk or semi
Norfolk effects with plain or pleated
skirts.
The dressier suits are made of silk
and satin with touches Of embroidery
in the same or some contrasting color.
The coats are generally midway be-
tween the hips and knees in length.
For sports wear there is no doubt
that hip-length coats with contrasting
skirts will be very smart, and there
will be more interest in sports clothes
this spring and summer than in any
other styles, if one may Judge from
the present demand for them. Plaid
skirts with coats of solid color hav-
ing the collar and cuffs trimmed with
the plaid are considered exceedingly
chic. The striped and checked mater
ials are employed in the same way
with coats of one color.
Besides the Norfolk coats, the loose,
straight-hanging box coat is one Of
the ndels that promises to be very
Snuch favored. Some Of these are

The greatest blessing which we en-
Joy in our dear United States is re
ligious liberty, which forms the yer!
foundation of our church. To enjo!
this blessing many of our forefathers
came to this country. Since Jesus has
made distinction between the powers
and duties of the church and state, we
have held unwaveringly to this prln.
ciple. Therefore follows, that we dc
not discuss politics in the pulpit, oul
members do not expect to hear poll
tics in church. Christ has command
ed His church: Preach the gospel to
all Nations" and "Teach them to OBJ
serve all things whatsoever l have
commanded unto you. Matt. %: In
Whatsoever" Christ has commanded,
we find ample instructions for our be-
havior in all circumstances in life. So
a Christian need never be IN doubt
what his duties are, even in regard to
his country, he need not err. Through
Thy precepts l get understandings
'Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light upon my path."-Ps. 119.
1915. And this is also true in re-
gard to war. Since the great Euro
pean war we have heard so many diff
ferent opinions but the Divine Word
gives US light.
eff we have searched the scripture
in regard to this matter, we will not
have been taken altogether by sur
prise, by the great European conflict.
Matt "a v. CT, God tells US we shall
hear of wars until the end of the
world, and mention this to remind us
of His last coming, as near at hand.
Indeed war is always great calam-
ity and the pen is unable to describe
the horror of it, and we Christians
would be pleased, beyond description,
if a general world peace could be
brought about, and all wars forever
cease. But we know from Scripture
that it will not be, and as long as rel
atives and neighbors hate each other
and envy, riches and hatred rule
among the people, there will also be
quarrels and war among nations. The
cause is to be found in the fact that
not all people in the world are Chris
tians.
"God uses war as a punishment.
Ezekiel ID. ". Fl. God Mentions was as
one of the four punishments for sin.
How often do we not read in the his
tory Of the Israelites, that when they !
left the Lord, he sent them war! And
although the Israelites often had a |
righteous cause they were obliged to
defend themselves, and had to suffer.
indeed, it is at al times great cal
amity- that circumstances may arise,
which force a nation into war. Yet
God uses it to remind the sinner of his |
immortal soul, and although the Chris
tians must suffer with the rest call !
things work together for good to them
that love God" Romans 8. And it is
a sad fact that many Christians do not

THE HISTORIC scHoENBRUNN.
Austria's Royal Palace the Scene Of
Many Dramatic Events.


Many Dramatic Events.
Less than three miles southwest OF
the Ringstrasse, which surrounds the
inner city of Vienna. is the impressive
pile Of masonry known as Schoenbrunn
where some of the most dramatic cpl
sodes in the history of Austria have
been staged and where Emperor Fran
els Joseph's death brought to a close q
phenomenal reign of sixty-eight years.
A National Geographic society bulletin
gives the following description of the
royal summer residence and some of
the episodes which have had regal
setting there:
with it's more than 1.4OO rooms
Schoenbrunn is splendid example Of
imperial residence modelled on the
standard of the great palace at Yer
sailles. One of the striking peculiari-
ties of this home of Austria's royal
family, however, is that instead of
browning an eminence it is built on low
ground, while the magnificent park Of
nearly 500 acres occupies the high
ground. rising gradually from the pal
ace doors until it terminates on a hill
adorned with a beautiful colonnade
called the Gloriette.
''Three important events Of the Ma
pOleOnic era were staged in the i'm
perial apartments of Schoenbrunn. The
first was the treaty of 1905, signed here
by Napoleon and Haugwitz, the latter
acting for the king of Prussia. By this
document Napoleon inflicted humiliat-
ing diplomatic defeat on the Prussian
statesman, who agreed to surrender
Cleves. Ansbach and Neuchatel to
France in exchange for Hanover
whereas he had come to see the en-
peror for the express purpose of deliv-
ering an ultimatum demanding the
return of Hanover In the same year
dec. 20 Napoleon issued the procla-
nation Of Schoenbrunn, in which the
Bourbon dynasty in Naples was declar-
ed at an end.
-Four years after Haugwitz's humili-
alton second treaty of Schoenbrunn
was signed, the principals this time
being Napoleon and Francis l., the
Austrian emperor, who less than year
later was to become the father-in-law
Of the 'upstart Corsican.

part of the lower belt forming straps

The belts extend around the sides only
and leave a panel effect at the back
which is pleated like the front.
To Freshen the Winter Dress
There are many people who wish tt
freshen up their winter clothes, be-
fore getting their spring things, for il
is still some time before the weather
| will allow US to be comfortable il
spring clothes. Only those who have
been able to replenish their wardrobes
very frequently throughout the winter
will not feel the necessity of adding
now touches to their clothes.
There are new sets of vests and col.
lars and separate cuffs to match, OF
matching collars and cuffs which will
do much toward making a change in
dress of which you may have tired
These collars and cuffs are of white
shantung silk trimmed at the edges
with bands of plain colored silk or the
dotted or figured silks. The band of
colored silk adds bright touch which
is very refreshing. The flat, rolled
collar in sailor shape is still favor
ite. Some of the collars are made dou-
BILE; for instance, there is lower COL
lar of white silk and an upper collar in
green, rose, gold or any of the fash
ionable colors, the same shape, but
smaller, so that an edge of the white
shows all around.
Girdles also offer another possibility
for refreshing dresses. The girdle is
an important feature Of the dress at
present, and there are many charm
ing styles, varying from the very mar
row apron-string girdle hanging with
long, loose ends, to the wide girdle,
which is arranged artistically in soft
crushed effect. Wide ribbon girdles
are very often seen.
The use of ribbon as a dress trim
ming is also quite novelty. 1t is uesd
to finish the new collarless necks and
sleeves, and also trims the skirts Of
afternoon and evening dresses. On
separate waists, too, ribbon is often
introduced as a trimming detail.
Pulled and Cuffed FrOcks
To vary the monotony of the per-
fectly straight-up-and-down dress
are several new models of which one
is shown in the sketch. The waist is
cut in sections permitting the use of
two materials. The skirt shows the
new pulled effect at the lower edge,
with the draped panels confined to the
sides only. For the attractive silks,
which may be had in plain and figured
effects to match in color, this design
is unusually effective.
Cuffs on skirts and on the lower
edges of the slipon blouses which &C
them, are noticed in good
many dresses. The cuffs may be deep
,r narrow and are finished with ma

companies a skirt of black-and-orange

made up in velvet and worn with
white serge skirts. Dark blue or old
rose velvet, with large white pearl
buttons for contrast, is used for these
coats.
Not strictly Norfolk, but resembling
this style in many points, is the smart
model illustrated in the sketch. It is of
