Death of Mrs. FrOedse.

Mrs. Pearl Froedge, wife of
Mr.. A. G. Froedge, died at her
home, Sunday afternoon at 3
O'Clock, June the 10th, at the
age of thirty-nine years. She
took the measles on Monday, a
week before her death, and was
thought to be getting along nice
ly, until Saturday evening about
2 o'clock, when Bronchial
pneumonia set up. She went off
into a stupor and never did re-
vive again. Everything was
done for her that was in mans
power to do, but death was the
only relief. All of her brothers
and sisters got there before her
death except one, but she was
unconscious and did not know
any Of them.
She was a devoted member of
the M. E. Church. was a woman
of noble character and highly
esteemed and loved by all who
knew her. She leaves a hus-
band and one daughter, Elsie
Froedge, mother, father, two
sisters, five brothers, and many
friends to mourn her loss.
The funeral services were held
at the home church Monday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock, by Rev.
L. 1. Chandler, after which the
remains were laid to rest in the
Fudge cemetery. The grave
was largely decorated with beau
tiful flowers by her many friends.
A precious one from US has gone.
A voice we loved is still;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given.
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.
A Niece,
Gladwyn Froedge.

Not One Of the Alres.

Many people speak of the al
lied nations as "our allies" since
this country entered the war,
but such an expression is not lit
orally true, because we are not
allied with any nation.
The United States is at war
with Germany only, and because
of offenses. committed by that
nation against the dignity and
peace of our country. We prob
ably will fight in the same trench
es as Britain and France, but
they are not our allies, we have
none. 1t is the purpose of the
Wilson administration to avoid
all entangling alliances during
the war with Germany, and to
emerge from it with clean hands
and with a principle upheld be-
cause it was just.
We are not even at war with
nations allied on the side of Ger
many. 1t is true that diplom at
ic relations have been broken off
between this country and Aus
tria and Turkey, but there has
been no declaration of war from
either side. For that matter
Germany has never passed a dec
Iaration of war against the Unit
ed States, though we have utter
ed such a one against them.
But despite the fact we cannot
truly be called one of the allies,
people will continue to do so be-
cause we are fighting with them
against a common enemy. Re-
ciprocal relations will probably
exist between the United States
and the Allied nations, our inter-
ests being common, but we shall
never be one of the allies.-La-
rue County Herald.

The Horrors Of War.

Over half a century ago Gen.
Sherman said war is hell" In
the parlance of our every day
vernacular there is no truer say
ing. 1t finds verifcation in the
present world war.
Although the United States
has been drawn into the conflict
and thousands of our boys and
young men have answered the
call of their country and are now
undergoing the necessary train
ing to equip them for active par
ticipation in the war, we who are
fortunate enough to be left at
home enjoying the security Of
our fresides and engaged in IL
peaceful pursuits of the variou-
avocations of life, little realize
what war means to- those who
are actually suffering its deSo!a-
ton and horrors. We talk a
great deal about the atrocious-
ness of war, as if we had tasted
of its bitter fruits, but we know
very little about its actualities
compared with the people on the
other size of the world. The
worst feature Of it all is that the
innocent and helpless must suffer

What Part Will American Women
Play in the War?

Agnes Repplier answers this
question in the July Woman's
Home Companion when she says:
"And women? American
women? They have a big and a
hard part to play in the nations
struggle for right. Whatever
may have been their sentiments
before a state of war was de-
clared, honor and honesty now
demand unfailing allegiance to
their country. The eight lead
ing colleges for women which
pledged their loyal services to
the Administration, blazed a
trail which we may wisely follow.
No one can accuse the heads of
these colleges, or their faculties,
of harboring the military spirit.
On the contrary, it was we'll
known that some of them were
earnest advocates of peace. The
document which they endorsed,
and sent to Mr.. Wilson, breathed
a spirit of integrity as we'll as of
courage anddeVotion.
Although we believe that the
8 ettlement of international
difficulties by war is fundament-
ally wrong, we recognize that in
a world crisis such as this it may
become our highest duty to de-
fend by force the principles upon
which Christian civilization is
founded. Any service which we
can render, and $50 far as we
can speak for them any service
which the thousands of trained
women whom we have sent out
from our colleges can render, we
hereby place at the disposal of
our country"

Keeping Cool,
By Walt Mason.

Let's keep our heads and do
things sanely. Excitement is
INDUCED in vainly. Since war
clouds gathered DER the nation,
there's been such frenzied agi-
tation, so much of useless noise
and clamor, it gives a sane man
katzenjammer. A lot of busy
men are screeching; hysteric 10y
atty they're preaching; you'll
shrek with them, or you're a
traitos-old Benny Arnold was
no greater, A thousand schemes
no man could follow, each morn
ing we are asked to swallow; you
must do this or that or t'other,
or you are Arnold's younger
brother. These noisy skates are
misfits, plainly. Let's keep our
heads and do things sanely. All
history this fact is telling; Great
wars are never won by yelling.
Well never whip the kaiser's
boosters by growing like so many
ROSTERS. Well never win a sim
gle battle by milling round like
locoed cattle. l love the flag
and would defend it until the
crash of worlds shall end it:Abut
l don't drape my stately manors
in forty thousand spangled ban
ners. That kind of loyalty is
easy; but when the tax collector
breezy, come up to ask US for
our plumber, to help to put the
foemen under, a lot of patriots
will SILVER, and have congestion
of the liver. Then you will see
my smiles are many, while dig
ging up the groat and penny; I
saved them for my country,
mainly; let's keep our heads and
do things sanely.

CIOuSnSSS Ol q lew men, ana
that the ends of despotism may
be attained.
To give the reader some idea
of the terrible consequences of
the war now going on in Europe,
we reproduce below an extract
from an editorial in a recent is
sue of a Cincinnati paper refer
ring to the deadly raid made on
London by German airplanes on
June Is of this year:
lover the city there is the
haze of June heat. In the school
room there is silence. save for
| the murmur of little children re-
citing their simple lessons, or
occasionally the soft laughter of
a tot who has found something
amusing even in the tedium of
school in summer time.
1T is as peaceful a scene as
could possibly be imagined. 1t
is beautiful-this gathering of
little ones ranging in age from
five to seven, just starting on
the thorny path to knowledge.
I'm the twinkling of an eye all
this is changed. Overn e a d
there is sound of rending tim.
bers, and then within the room
itself there is a terrific, binding,
shatterirg explosion. When the
gas and smoke clear away all is
silence again save for the pitiful
means of mere babes who are
suffering the last agonies of tor
ture. Arms and legs have been
torn off some of the tots, others
are terribly lacerated or buried
amid wreckage. Some are I'M
recognizable.
In the absence of ambulances,
ordinary grocers' wagons are
used to cart away the little
sufferers to the hospitals, while
grief stricken and almost insane
mothers clamor for news of the
fate of their children.
This is a picture of what hap
pened in a school in London on
June Is, of this year. 1t may
all sound very far away to you.
Happening on the other side of
the ocean, it may be hard for
you to visualize it. Your own
sturdy little John or curly-haired
Mary seem so safe from harm,
so far removed from the horrors
of war.
"And yet it is possible that all
the beastly, barbarous, ruthless,
practices the Prussian war MAX
ers haye introduced into the
world will be brought to our own
shores and our own doors.
The same military necessity
that caused German aviators to
fly from Belgium over London
and massacre innocent children
with highpowered explosive
bombs would cause them-once
they effected landing any,
where on the American coast
to murder our women and chill
