THE greatest sin OF the heart is hate;

of God is rs old as the race. As an old

IF you would rout fear. look for life,
not death, beauty. not ugliness, goodness,

the devil. The world is not divided into
two classes. those of the Creator and
those of the devil. There Ia only one

Fear of poverty is a fear that afflicts

Liquor Decreases National Efficiency.
Speaker Declares.

Save America and save the world
was the slogan adopted by the Christian
Endeavor societies in attendance At .
lecture at the First Congregational
Church yesteday afternoon by Daniel
A. Polling. associate president Of the
National Temperance Council.
Real patriotism begins at home"
said Mr.. Polling. He is q dangerous
man who prates about loyalty to
womanhood in general and neglects
his own freside. Today Is the crucial
test Of American patriotism. In the
United States true internationalism
swears allegiance hrst Of all to the
Stars and Stripes
We must allow nothing to go on
that will decrease our natioal efficiency
in this crisis. Liquor should go and
go Immediately. Prohibition Is war
measure here just the same as It was
in Russia and France. We cannot fight
liquor and an enemy at the same time.
We cannot allow other than true
citizens to handle our national affairs
at this time. II is true that some men
boast of patriotism and still allow an
enemy In their homes"

WOULD ELABORATE BILL
FOR UNIVERSAL SERVICE
Unified National Army Suggested by
Patriotic and Defense Societies.

Approving the Chamberlain bill for uni
versal military training, the National
Committee Of Patriotic and Defense So
cieties issued statement last night sug-
Sesting possible elaboration of the bill
for a more unified national organized
force.
The plan is to form a training force of
the available trained personnel of the
regular army, trained officers and men in
the National Guard and other persons
with military experience who volunteer.
The ranks would be filled by calling out
under universal military service all
young men. physically fit, of the age cf
20, and II necessary additional classes.
The country would be divided into dis
tricts of approximately equal population,
in each one Of which a division, $500
men would be organized and trained.
This plan leaves the existing regular
army and National Guard open to volun-
teers and the National Guard will pro-
vide a force available for State purposes
and for local defense" the statement
says.
If followed. its supporters say, this
plan would obtain a single. unified, ma
tional army for national defense, in ad-
dition to the regular army strength, In
place OF the National Guard and volun-
teers.
