antagonism have rot yet learned Ia
know the voice Of that America we love
and serve? 1t may we'll be that those
among us who stand ready to forward
the plans OF aggression bred in secret
do not understand the language Of de-
mocracy when it proclaims the pur-
poses of war in terms of peace for
the peoples that shall be untroubled by
those TO whom men are but pawns in
their struggle for power and gain. But
true Americans. those who toll here
for home and the hope of better things,
whose lifted eyes have caught the
vision of liberated world, have said
that of the policy of blood and iron
there shall be an end. and that equal
justice, which is the heart Of democ-
racy, shall rule in its stead.
An Inspiration
For America
MAY not those who toll and those
who have made common cause Of the
larger hope for the masses OF mankind
take renewed heart as they think on
those days when America has taken its
stand for the rights of humanity and
the fellowship of social and interna-
tional justice? Sincerely yours,

pressed, decided 10 evacuate the city,
as they have done in the past. 1t is too
carly TO say what may be the scope Of
the German operations, or whether
they intend to drive for the Russian
capital. But to cover the 3l2 miles
which separate Riga from Petrograd
before winter sets in would be feat
presumably beyond even German ambi-
ton and tenacity. Though Russia, in
the present demoralized state OF her
armies, may have little resistance TO
offer, the lateness of the season and
her vast territorial reaches protect the
heart Of the nation.
The crossing Of the Dvina was made
yesterday and successfully maintained.
The fighting near Mitau began to-day
and evidently is an attempt by the
Germans to link up with their recent
gains wst Of the Aa River, and so to
constrict the narrowing circle around
the Baltic port. Berlin is reticent as
to the operations, merely stating that
southeast of Riga, at Uskull, and Fried
richstadt, on the Dyina, forty-three
miles from Riga, German enterprises
were successful
Gas Attack Near Koyel
Petrograd reports that east Of Kovel
the enemy let loose a cloud of gas,
which he followed with an attack in
moderate strength. This was repelled
By newly arrived Russian reserves, but
Fresh waves of gas continued 10 come
over the Russian trenches. Further
south there was a German lombard
ment with gas shells and an attack
which penetrated the Russian lines.
The defenders, however, restored the
position by counter attack. In East
ern Bukowna Berlin reports a sus-
tanned cannonade Of destruction be-
tween the Pruth River and the Suchawa
Valley, with freJuent skirmishing.
In Southwestern Moldavia the leu
tons have had no further success. Both
capitals speak of bitter fighting on Won
Mackcnsen's front, especially around
the village of Ireshti. northwest of
which the Rumanians stand, but IL is
still indecisve.

can. Would il be better for each boy
to buy the tickets for himself and his

Either way is all right. It is usual
" more convenient, however, Tor one

standing between the boys before the
