writes it's edct in terms of blood, and punctuates it's progress in a life for q life.
 We are a brave, intelligent conscien- tious, open minded people, and until the die is officially cast, they will cling to the hope that President Wilson will find plight, and will set at naugh all misin- formation and misrepresentation.
 And now to the text, irrelevant to the preamble it may be, but at the same time worth while for application simply Tn the common intercourse between man and man, and friend and foe.
 An untruth set apace can never be re- tracted. If you would avoid entangle- ments and keep clear of arrangements, never put an untruth agoing.
 Affirmati tion buttressed by truth is in- controvertible, and is the universally ac- cepted conclusion of all inquiry. It is the unquestioned answer to every propo- sltlon of life, and is an intangible some thing that grows and prospers without cultivation and provides it's own protec- tion
 In the firm and open recognition of takable realiza ton of the boundless vir- tue of immaculate truth the soul-life. the heart-life and the mnd-life of mankind stand squarely imbedded in the very fastness of the divine design of the uni Nersal Creator, when He called light to birth, and dissipated the pail of darkness that hung in folds around the world.

is the very substrata of all moral CO., operation between man and man, and on no other foundation can rise a structure that can withhold an evil purpose, Or withstand a pelting storm.
 Truth is 8 bulwarlz of power, a cover in shower, a beacon light tower, and a lifetime dover, ever ready to be quail fled for every good enlistment.
 If we find ourselves living in an age of commercialized influences. when mis- representation seems to master the day for material gain, and sordid motives mostly prevail, be assured that soon or late the worth of truth will leaven the mass, and run the level of candor across the measure of conduct, and tone the whole conditions.
 It is a source of never failing satsfac- tion to know that unvarnished truth has ever found and will ever find a broadly based Judgment in the beating breast of men and women. and that most of them cherish above aught else the integrity of their personal word-wh:ch is their fixed and accepted bond.
 With inflexible, unbending truth there is no backpatch-no side line course-no by-play and no by-purpose. It is exact ing and unfettered-uphold it and rrac- tice it for its virtue.
 The spectre of untruth casts dismal doubt on your characteristic redoubt of truth is your safeguard.
 Be it the hour of ruth
 When there is no prevailment
 'Gainst every assailment
 Of the bulwark of truth.
 Rigid. inflexible. uncompromising truth as it circulates in mortal speech from tongue to tongue. is the only species of this virtue that flies under its own true

courses, and man is given his choice of ways We find before us a commingled ] mass of good and evil. We stand al the crossways, and the index board points rightward and leftward. The shimmering sword of, tried truth is given us for the sundering, and the acuteness of mind and discernment of conscience are for decision and final action. Outside the lines and influences of 1 truth and probity We are always in an exposed position, and We have no de- fense. Confusion and conflict are in the very nature of things around and about us, and a straight, unalloyed life of rec titude must be fought for to a finish.
 Temptation of militant form and force are constantly arrayed before us, and the battle is always on, and the fight is fast and furious
 Truth. pointed and wisely planted truth is our naturally provided and mor- ally appointed abatis, and this standard feature of fortification offers and af fords the only impregnable intrenchment against compromise and infidelity-du- plicty and deception.
 You cannot advance along the approved line of life in opposition to truth--nor can you circumvent it by countermarches and archly aimed enfilade fire
 It successfully repels every adverse on- slaught. and holds to perfect precision its first and only alignment.
 It never entraps. entangles or es tranges-it always enfods and intrenches and garrisons to complemental effect the very inner works of the moral temple of man.

every vocation of life and all sec
 tions of the country on this question, am able to group their complaints under a few heads; this l shall frankly do without the least intention of mis-
 representing or insulting anybody. Time after time 1 have inquired of large groups of colored men goins north or coming into the city, why is it they are leaving their homes. ac- quaintances and friends for other sec tions of the country and the cities where they are unknown to live amid strange environments, As stated above, their reasons are sometimes given in crude and unintelligent way, but they can be easily classified. The largest number of negroes gone north are those from the farms. so will give their reasons for leaving first.
 They claim that the educational fa- cilities for the negro in the country and on the farms are insufficient and that they are rearing their children in ignorance and weakness.
 They have learned how very inade quate the educational opportunities are in the country by coming in contact with the educated people of the other race and what few of their own who come among them Many of the fath- CTS and mothers on the farms have a little education gleaned from some of the many schools and educational endeavors which have been put forth for the race in the past. This class of men and women create among the others a hunger and thirst for educa- tion for their children.
 They are naturally leaders for those who have not had any education, and they have spread this love and taste for learning until negro fathers aEd mothers are willing to sacrifice thei, all to have their children educated They go so as to study the pro rata that is allotted to the children of both races and find that theirs cannot be educated for what is appropriated for them They note with increasing ap prehension that their school terms are only short periods of two or three months and they have tried to educate them with that arrangement. but find that such a thing is impossible. These are the complaints along this line
 Others leave the farms because they live in constant fear and dread They know of the lynching and burning of other men and women of their race and it is no theory or guess that these people live in their humble huts in terror. not knowing but what the rope and the torch will be theirs ere the sun rises. Many of the older ones tell the younger ones of the horrors of tha Ku-I<lux and 'patterolers'' of the past and these superstitious ard weak pee pie are ready to do anything to get away from what they magine (an1 many times it comes true) the pos abilities of that kind of suffering. They read the papers here and there, not enough to be intelligent, but in many cases just enough 70 arouse their suspicion and they imagine among themselves the possibilities of every | kind of outrage For illustration, some |

l time ago there came out in the pa pers a report that the Ku-Klux Klan l had organized in this anl other south . i ern cities. and that report spread | through a certain county in the state and the writer talked with many | from there who actually feared they were to be persecuted by these people 1 Again hundreds of them, in fact, most | of them, say it is absolutely impossible to have a fair deal shown them when they have raised crops. They and their families toll in the fields from sunup un- til sundown making large crops, espe- cially of cotton, and when they come to settle they are told they lack just a little of getting out of debt" This kind of condition continues with them
 year after year, matters not how much
 they make or what the market prices of their products are, they always 'laek few dollars coming out ahead. When they undertake to change plantations or leave for the betterment of themselves and families their stock and whateveA provisions they have are usually taken away from them for some imaginary debt.
 If they dare to keep an account or un- dertake to have their figures considered they run the risk of being shot down for mpudence or so-called ''SaS." Now these are their complaints. Anyone can get them from the negro who has lett the farms whether he is in the southern cities or migrated north. The poor edu- cational facilities, the fear of mobs and burnings their never being able to ac- eumulate anything but poor food insuf- ficient housing and scanty clothing are the reasons they set up for leaving the farms. The writer is giving the public these facts; anyone who doubts them may ask the first crowd of negro men they meet on the streets from the farms and one or the other of these complaints will be given and some are so timid that they tell these causes in a whisper.
 The masses love the country life, and the farms There is where they were reared, that is the place of their child hood, the graves of their loved ones are there their churches and their homes are there and however humble these may have been they loved them and love them yet but alas they have left them, and are leaving them to return no more un- til they are assured in a most tangible way that conditions have changed. | find that it is not the boil weevil nor floods, neither promise of higher wages in the north, nor the foolish ''bugaboo" called social equality that is taking them away from us.
 Some negroes have prospered on the farms, bought them and paid for them, but since the most successful negro farmer in all the south was mobbed, be- cause he had a dispute with man of the other race over some cotton seeds, the prosperous negro farmers are asking everywhere, what is the use?" Those who own farms in the state where this occurred in the adjacent state are selling out and giving away what they have and are leaving. J. H. KELLEY,

It Works! Try It Tells how to loosen a sore, tender corn so it lifts
 out without pain.

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispens- ing freezone. the ether discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers.
 Ask at any pharmacy for a quarter ounce of freezone, which will cost very little. but is said to be sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard or soft corn or callus.
 You apply just few drops on the fender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts out with out pain It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoin ing tissue.
 This discovery will prevent thou sands of deaths annually from lock- jaw and infection heretofore resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting corns.-Adv.

Americans Who Serve France

James H. Ware, in Leslie's.
 On my recent trip to the front I saw
 something of that magnificent organiza-
 ton, the American field ambulance serv-
 ice, Once when I stopped to offer
 word of cheer to one of the sections 1 was
 surprised to find it in charge of Herbert
 P Townsend of New York city, who
 claimed me as an old acquaintance, and
 reminded me that the last time he saw
 me | was photographing a football game
 from an aeroplane at Princeton univer-
 sty.
 He has been in the ambulance service
 since the start and was quite enthusiasts
 tic over the work although I gathered
 from his talk, that he would be glad to
 see it over. Still he did not intend to
 quit. but would, i'll all probability, con
 tinue to the end He would not attempt
 to forecast when that would be. neither did he think President Wilson's peace
 not. would have any bearing on that event
 At the Poste de Secours a few miles further along the road l came across an- other of the service cars with couple of youngsters in charge, and about to take slightly wounded German prisoner down to the base hospital.
 One of the ambulance men was MT. Howell of Toledo, O., who joined last NONemDert the OtHeI Weto Joiiil iISii- buth, IS years of age, born in Paris of American parents.
 I suggested that when Hellbuth be- came 21 years old according to French law he could decide whether he wanted to be a French or an American citizen, and was amused to see his eyes glisten as he said: of course, l want to be an American. He is an only son and had been then four months with the ambu- lance. He invited us to come in and see the poste. The wounded were brought down from the first advanced dressing station, just behind the firing lines, and sorted out there, then taken to The base for transmission to the hospitals. His duty just then consisted in fetching in the wounded, and he was constantly going up to the front He and his companion were on duty for 24-hour periods, some times working every hour of the tine and on other occasions having little or
 nothing to do. They were quite proud of l their premises, which were certainly
 cheerless enough, but the main thing was | they had been made partly bombproof | The rooms were shored up with timbers which made walking around difficult and | reminded one of a coal mine; although a coal mine would be safer to live in, | being removed from bursting shells. 1 The American ambulance field service | is to be congratulated on the splendid ' work it has accomplished under direction | of A. Piatt Andrew, in alleviating the suffering of the wounded. by hastening | their removal to tie hospitals =.

MILITANT TRUTH

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Can it be truthfully assumed that the European war could not have lasted half so long with the contending parties re-
 lying solely on their own resources-ma- terial and moral?
 Is it a fact that we have in much meas ure furnished belligerents with money and munitions?
 If so, is it d fact that in doing this traffic we have shouldered an obligation that has. perhaps, unwittingly thrown upon the country grave responsibilities of international character which should have, and could have, been avoided?
 Have we, or have we not fallen short of supplying the vital moral strength and righteous influence, at the opportune time, that probably would have allayed the highly inflamed passion of the lead CTS on either side in this bloodful strife?
 In the first stage of the war we ap- peared to set our bearing, as q people, altogether right so as to clearly avoid all dangerous entanglements - school children must keep clear of improper dis cussion-officials must be guarded iu their publicly avoved position and the general press was cautious and appa- rently free from decided bias.
 A Sabbath morning in october, 1914 was duly and reverently set apart by our beloved President for special prayer to God for divine guidance, and it is re- membered, the beautiful and fervent ap- peal of our ministers
 Possibly yes, probably it would have been far better for the highest interest and real comfort of our people if we had kept ourselves in the spirit of prayer from that good day-thG.t hopeful period -on down to this portentous hour.
 But unfortunately, for some reason, , we have drifted away. Can it be said we have become more or less inured to the calamity and disaster of war. We do not believe we have.
 Have we become too deeply stirred for thoughtful arbitration of our interna- tional differences?
 Surely not, for we know the sword

 Truth is the one militant means and front force in the fighting files of men that stands steady and right dressed amidst the flare and flame of shot and shell, and always guides to the center point of every moral endeavor. Truth commands the respect and ad- mira tion of all mankind, land all the commandments of God are truth
