ECONOMIC DETERMINISM.

An interesting case is that of the clergyman known as the fighting parson", the Rev. Taylor, who quit his post in a Congregational Church in an Eastern city because he de- clared that the church failed of its social obligations and responsibil ities He held that they misinter- Ieted the gospel and while the members of his congregation were individually good, they subtly sup ported the work of evil
 His viewpoint was that they were serving God and Mammon and as such condoning the evils that soci- ally existed.

OEERBOARD.

The possibility of the United States entering into this war is a thing not lightly to be considered by any person. Moreover what has occurred in even the most demo- cratic of the beIligerent nations is such that may well give pause.
 While the intention is expressed of destroying the Teuton policy ot frightfulness and bringing about a condition of greater democracy, freedom and popular responsibility, the war has led directly to the emas- culatiou of every vestige of liberty personal or social in the warning nations. and the creation of a con dition which if it happened during times Of peace could only have led directly to q revolution. The free dom of the press. popular protest, popular propaganda of all kinds, has been suppressed, and only with great difficulty and daring of sinister threats have in a few places labor organizations upheld some trace ot the right of collective action.
 Now all of these things thus sup pressed have been only gained aT- ter infinite struggle and not little bloodshed, and it is the menace to these things that militarism and war contain that makes one hesl- tate to approve hOstilities which in the last analysis are concerned not so much over individual or human rights, b4Aoe far from as easily suppoTtaT always more assert able rights of profit To throw over board everything that has been achieved in the struggle for human liberty that profits may be unhamp- cred is after all somewhat a dubious proceeding.
 All would be more treasured were one 10 observe within the war ring nations, the governments, which control them during the ex- agencies of war, endeavor to compel property and wealth 10 as unstinted d service for the national good as the persons of the individual citizen. But although the various leagues which advocate subtly for war under the guise of preparedness have with out fail and most tirelessly advo- cated personal conscription they have stopped short at that and not made any mention of property or financial conscriptiop, reports of which are only arriving across the Atlantic from the still unterrified souls within the labor movement in Great Britain. Yet as the slogan All of England meant only the per sonal service of the people in the field or in the workshop so All for the United States means in the esti. nation of the Security Leaguers all for service in the army and navy and in the munition factory.
 II war has 10 come after succeed ing at the maintenance of peace for two whole years, it is not right or just that the nation should sacri- fee its flesh and blood and leave the Hfeless wealth of the money grub bers untouched If there is to be drafting Of the person, there should as well be drafting of the property of the citizen, so that in the de- fense or in the furtherance of the interests of the nation, there may be no ignoble and inefficient inequal- ity such as those earnest advocates Of preparedness and war so cheer fully urge.

for authority were so sweeping that the politicians immediately cooled to- ward him. and NiveIIe was selected for the post NiyeIlc was appointed as propouent of the offensive in warfare.
 Above all. Petain is known as a fight CT. He has the St. Cyr training and is acknowledged an expert tactician and strategist.
 Petain was born near Calais sixty one years ago and by 1890 had become a captain in the elite ChaSseurs a Pied. When the war started he was colo nel. Almost instantly he was made g general of brigade. and by Sept. 14, 1914, he had become a general of di- vision. Seven months later he was commanding the Twenty-third army corps and took part in the allied Offen- Siye in ArtUiS. His work here was so brilliant that he was placed at the head of the Second army, which he led through the Champagne offensive in October, 1915. His famous "irOn division" Of COlorcd colonial troops, whom he had personally trained, large Iy contributed to that victory. By this time Petatn was admitted a master of the offensive.
 It is reported that when the German storm broke over Yerdun the French were ordered to evacuate the fortress. The rumor of this aroused a fury of indignation in France, and General de CaStelnau was rushed up from Paris wlth orders that Yerdun must be held at all costs. Petain was selected to do it. Under his command General Herr organized the now celebrated motor transport system. and the catch phrase, ''They shall not pass" became an actu- ality.
