KAIsER's SUNDAY SPORT

A Sunday German air raid over
London has melted the Kaiser an
other batch of mangled women and
children and other noncombartants.
The Baltimore Sun in speaking OF
this butchery Of non-combattants
says the Emporor's heavenly part
ner must have been particularly
pleased with this bloody sacrlnce
because of its association with the
dav which He has specially set apart
for His worship. The killing OF an
English woman or child is, doubtless,
peculiarly gratifying to the Lord on
any day, but may be regarded as a
particularly delicate tribute on Sun
day, which is considered by the Christ
ian world as His day par excellence.
The f1attery is 80 much more subtle
than killing mere men on the battle
front. Sabbath slaughter in regular
battle has become rather stale as a
war diversion. The Kaiser has intro
ducea a new Sunday war feature in
dropping bombs Gu folks as they go
Ia church, or on little children as they
kneel in prayer. a great joker is the
Kaiser. He seems to say to the Lon
don folks: Il will help you quickly
to Heaven. Here is a present which
the Lord, my partner, has asked me
to give you. 1t will take you to the
skies faster than a hymn book"
Some time ago,:it will be remem-
ibered, several English children while
on their way to Sunday School were
killed by a she'll from a German war
ship during the bombardment OF an
unfortiiicd Gown.
Surely Prussianism is in partner
shin with a very potent spirit, buI
not with the spirit of Him Who TOOK
little children in His arms and blessed
them. When we note how The En-
peror celebrated Sunday in London
we are fully persuaded that the
| Prince Of Darkness is no myth, ana
that he has a partner after ms W
heart.

in the U. S. A., by sending him reg
ularly clippings of eveW sort n
description from magazines and
newspapers. Everything from the
comics to editorials will be included
in the Jackies' literary menu.
This work was initiated by and is
now under the direct supervision OF
Captain C. II. Harlow, U. s. N, who
| has his Office with the Comforts Com
! mittee headquarters Of the Navy
League Of the United States, IN this
city. His idea is to supplement the
comfort outfits knit by patriotic
women of the country, through the
! Comforts Committee Of the Navy
League, with clippings from news
rapers and magazines, arranged IN
booklet form, which would be Of IN
terest to the men on board ship.
To reduce postage costs, and because
space in shipment is at a premium, 1t
has been recommended that tie
stories be cut out separately from
the book, stitched together with
heavy thread, and, if possible bound
with brown paper to further protect
it. The idea Of this is to divide q
single magazine, which may contain
several stories, among all the men
on board a destroyer, SO that while
one man is reading a story several
OF his ship mates may be doing the
same thing from the same book. In
this way a man can easily thrust
such q booklet into his pocket when
suddenly called to quarters, or it can
be passed around the ship in a short
time, Will 4 mere bulky magazine
would have to be thrown aside. AS
these torpedo boats and Gestroyers
are 50 numerous there is naturally q
scarcity of magazines :or distribution
when one considers that each small
boat may contain from eighty to one
hundred men IN its crew.
\ glimpse into the shop Of the
Comforts Committee headquarters Of
the Navy League finds several girls
hard at work. clipping articles on
current topics, religious, scientific
and sporting subjects. as well rs
pictures from comic sheets which they
paste TO a sheet Of heavy paper and
| place into an envelope in i file ar
ranged according to these subjects.
Others are busy separating the bind
: ings from magazines and stitching
the stories together for the folders.
Attractive pictures cut from maya

are cut out and pasted on these fold
erz. These little booklets gre then
placed carefully in envelopes which
are sent to the various destroyers
torepdo boats and cruisers Of the
United States to be distributed
amongst their respective crews.
As a naval officer, Captain Harrow
thoroughly understands the need for
this form Of entertainment for the
men. 1T is surprising" says Capt.

President Directs that Plants Be

By direction of the President, plants

ment was authorized by the Secretary
OF War yesterday. Oficials and au-
thorities connected with the project
declined to add anything to the bare
statement.
