Thoughts of Two Junior Citizens
Why the Junior Citizen Should Do
 His Part

The following was written by Chand- Ter Morse and read at the Junior Chautauqua meeting last week:
 1.-The Junior Citizen should do his bit because in the future the world is undergoing great change, and because of this change the Junior Citizen has got to prepare for great responsibilities.
 We want this country to always be in state of preparedness and if the Junior Citizen does his bit it will be.
 Now, preparedness does not mean to have big army and all that only, Il means also that we, as good citizens, should prepare, by studying and working, in every way, to help win this war. If we do these things we will be prepared when we are grown up to keep this nation in the place it ouP ht to have, and has got to have, among the other nations of the world.
 Ex president Roosevelt says to the ooy oi hulCilCd' VI COuTSb WnuI we have right to expect from the Am CT ican boy is that he should turn out to be good American man. Now the chances are strong that he wont be much of man unless he is good deal Of boy. He must not be cow ard or weakling, bully, a shirk or prig. He must work hard and play hard. He must be clean minded and clean lived and able 10 hold his own under all circumstances and against all corners. It is only on lthese condi- lions that he will grow into the kind of man America can really be proud of In life as in foot ball game, the principle 10 follow is-hit the line hard; don't foul or don't shirk, but hit the line hard"

How Junior Citizen Can Do lis Bit

Ellsworth Sabin wrote, on the above subject, the following, which was also read al the Junior Chnutauqua:
 "ln the spring the Junior Citizen can plant in his own garden, or, if he has no land, he can hire it. In this way he will be doing his bit. He can help save the food Al meal time he can see that there is nothing wasted Also he can economize on sugar and make more for the A llies When LIb- erty Bonds are being sold he can save hIs money to buy one or influence others 10 buy. In school he must do his best in his lesson or whatever task he has to do so when he is grown he will be rendy to fill lthe responsible positions that may come to him. At Junior 'Chautauqua he can help the leader by keeping quiet and orderly and ready to assist her in any wsy.n

salfour,s Impressions of America.

Mir. Balfour has said in public sin gularly little about his experiences in America, but some day he may consent to record his impressions. Should he do so we may look for an entertaining comparison between the house of com mons and the house of representatives. Here for example, Is characteristic circumstance which the reporters seem to have missed:
 The first stage of the war crisis was a kind of Baby Month in Washington. Children. and sometimes very young children. were taken into the visitors galleries In order that they might car " into later life the memory of being present at m historic sitting, and on the day of Mir. Balfour's address to the house good many members of con gress had children with them on the floor. The one congresswoman, Miss Rankin. was accompanied by two 1u- venile relatives. It was remarked that some of the children in the galleries were kept. overcome with sleep. to the end of the long night sitting at which the war vote was taken.-Manchester Guardian.

What Will Russia Do?

"Nhat the new Russian republic does, whether it continues in the war or makes separate peace with Ger
 many, may mean one million Ameri. can lives and twenty billion American dollars says Charles Edward Rus sell, who has just returned from his trip as special investigator for Presi
 dent Wilson on conditions in the new Slav republic. "What Russia will do, y he continues, "is therefore one of the most interesting que stions that now confronts the American people, n
 MT. Russell himself is very hopeful. He does not believe that the new Rus. sia will desert her allies. The fact that some things go poorly in the govern ment does not surprise him half so much, he says, as the fact that any thing goes we'll. This is particularly true, he thinks, of conditions in the army; and he continues to show in his article in the latest issue of Hearst s Magazine, which under the circum- stances amounts almost to an official report lon these matters, why the breaking down of army discipline was inevitable, and why in spite of the loss of Galicia and Riga and a general de- moralizatlon in other sections of the line, the Russian fighting force will come through stronger and better than ever and play a dominant part in the great general offensive which it is an open secret the allies will undertake next spring. These opinions have the value of having been reached through the personal observations of not only a trained student, but of one who by temperament and experience is partic- ularly fitted to judge and appreciate the spirit of the new Russian social democracy. adv

LOYAL TO MOTHER CHURCH
Deep Religious Instinct Characterizes the Peasants of Both Russia
 and Poland.

A deep religious instinct seems to be inborn with the Slav peasants, both Russian and Pole. The only difference is the form of his religion, for practi- cally all the Poles are adherents of the Church of Rome. With both races re- ligion and patriotism are closely inter twined The Slav temperament seems to be particularly susceptible to relig- ious impressions, and devotion to the church reaches q degree for which it is difficult to find analogies in any other part of modern Europe. In the daily life of the Polish peasant. the name of Christ and the Virgin will be heard re- peatedly. He would not think of living in house that had not been blessed by a priest. A manufacturer would find 1t difficult to keep his hands if the factory had not been blessed. A thea ter would died from lack of patronage if the priestly blessing had been denied the building The Pole is probably the mast faithful of all the adherents of the Church of Rome.-The Christian Herald
