TIME TO WIPE SLATE CLEAN
Malice and Observation-Disclosures Should
Disappear at Parting With Those
Going to the War.

Paintings Of friends are always sad.
There is ever an uncertainty about
meeting again and how itmay be with
each other meanwhile. Parting with
those who are now leaving for the
service Of country is especially sad, for
they go 10 face danger, It may be to
give mp life, says the Milwaukee Jour
nal. We hope that the many may re-
turn well and happy after performing
the high duty they owe their country.
But not all win come back. Some viii
have given life or limb. And honor
and aid and tenderness are due from
those who stay. Is there an estrange-
ment among friends or relatives? Be
reconciled. We cannot know who is
to be called to give up life. Do not
have to remember that there was
hatred or malice or uncharitableness
of parting. Be forgiving. 1t is time
to forget and forgive all past offenses.
To feel that one leaves friends,
leaves with the good win and good
wishes Of all, helps nerve the arm in
time Of danger, is comfort in time Of
trial. To forgive is divine. When one
faces so great and so serious a crisis,
small offenses should disappear. For

others is the noblest thing a man can
do. Let everyone who offers this, go
with the assurance that his act is ap-
preciated, and only good will, love and
honor are his from those he leave

The Invasion of Italy.

The Austro-G German forces opera
ting against the Italians along the Tag
liamento river from the region OF the
Carnic Alps, Southwark to the Adrlat-
ic sea are proving a serious menace.
The invaders of Venitia have driven
their way across the river at Pinzano
and are proceeding westward, while
TO the north, on the Italian left wing,
intensive operations are being carried
out by the Teutonic allies, the two
maneuvers probably having as their
objective the cutting off Of the entire
right wing of General Cadorna's
army. The Berlin war Office in its
announcement of the fording of the
river says that 5000 Italians were
made prisoner and that an additional
number OF guns also were taken. The
Italian official communication makes
only brief mention of the operation,
asserting that the enemy succeeded in
bringing some Of his forces to the
right bank of the stream. There is
no indication as yet whether it is the
intention of General Cadorna to en-
deavor TO maintain the Tagliamento
line, but it is not improbable that his
stand here is a temporary one. The
struggle WILDE largely race between
the enemy's heavy artillery and the
arrival of allied reinforcements. The
Italian army is sorting itself outagain.

LOYAL TO MOTHER CHURCH
Deep Religious instinct chsrsctsrifes
the Peasants Of Both Russia
" and Poland.

A deep religious instinct seems to be
Unborn with the Slav peasants, both
Russian and Pole. The only difference
is the form Of his religion, for practi-
caIly 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 degree for which II 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 a house that had not been blessed
by q priest. A manufacturer would
find It difficult to keep his hands II the
factory had not been blessed. A thea
ter would died from lack Of patronage
II 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.

Modern Woodmen of America

The Modern Woodmen held very profitable and interesting meeting last Wednesday night. A fair crowd was in attendance considering the cold weather and the muddy streets. Six new members were initiated and much other business was transacted. Plans were laid for a campaign for new members and this is expected to be the banner year in the history of the organization in this vicinity in the number of new members received.
 After the regular business was tran sacted the Royal Neighbors entered the hall in masked costume and passed slips among the members and invited the Woodmen to find their partners from these slips and partake of bountiful repast which they had pro- vided. Every one had royal good time and it was a late hour when the members dispersed to their homes The members are urged to be present next meeting as a number of candi- dates are to be initiated and other inn portant business transacted. We ex- pect to have something doing at every meeting and those who are absent will be the losers.
