"And Terah took AbraIn, his son
and Lot--and they went forth from
Ur OF the Chaldees, to 60 into the
land Of canaan."-Gen. 1851.
There is something suggestive In
the event recorded in the text. II
speaks of an early migration from
the east to the west, 1t tells US that
man has ever journeyed with his eyes
to the setting sun, with his hopes
buoyed up by the blessings which
would come to him in the unknown
land. So in this present day the
world has turned its eyes from the
east to the west, New hopes are held
out to the pilgrims in this continent,
Bankers of Europe have made the
statement that the supremacy Is to
pass from the east to the west, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, that the
twentieth century Is to belong to
North and South America
Under these new conditions the
United States has undergone a vast
change. We think now, not as an iso-
lated people, but as an international
people. The Monroe Doctrine, which
for decades has seemed to be Of lit
tie worth, but suddenly assumed great
importance. The problems in this
land have become VITAL Apostles OF
pan-Germanism are abroad in the
world. In his study of international
ism, entitled Problems of Power,
AIr. William Morton Fullerton says:
at is one Of the ironfes of history
that at the University Of Harvard, on
the sacred soil Of Massachusetts, one
of the most mettlesome OF these Ger
man centaurs, disguised as profes.
sor of philosophy, should profit by
the hospitality accorded to him, 20
battle openly against the Monroe Doc
trine, urging the citizens of the United
States to cease their vigilance, as re-
CARDS invasion of the South American
continent by the Europeans. The ex-
cellent German, who is so diligently
and periodically engaged in spying
out the American continent for the
glory of the Deutschum, has found
perhaps unexpected allies among the
more innocent conapatriots Of Wendell
Phillips and Emerson" Then the
author goes on to quote from an ar.
ticle printed in the Atlantic Monthly,
written by this same German profess
sor. In which he declares his oppo-
sition to the fundamental policies Of
the United States. Let us have a

OF tyrannous Dictatorship 1.-THE Mon
roe Doctrine) you have forfeited the
worlds respect; you have not ad.
justed yourself to the new day; you
are an inadequate steward; you are
a relic Of the nineteenth century, and
you richly deserve the thrashing you
viii surely receive" = Z
In the few words we have revealed
the whole situation. The United
States is the, culprit, who has sinned
because she has sought to. think inter
nationally, because she has declared
that eastern Imperialism must be shut
out from the western hemisphere, be-
cause she has insisted that these
lands be held sacred for democracy
and seH-government, and because we,
as citizens of the United States, have
sinned, we are to receive q thrashing,
richly deserved, at the hands of Ger
many.
As the first in the world to learn
the full value of self-government, it
is but natural that the United States
should act as the schoolmaster to
those who are seeking the light.
Wisdom owes debt to ignorance,
wealth to poverty, strength to weak.
ness. Civilization, as interpreted by
the United States, is a shield which
should be lifted above the oppressed.
Self-government means the slow
spread Of education, the gradual IN
crease of intelligence and sound
morals. =:
When our fathers laid the founda-
tons for this great republic, remedies
were provided for the, destruction OF
economic and political distress. In
the early years of our national life

foretelling the destruction Of the re-
public. Such prophets are found in
the land today and they are seeking
to discount the achievements of this
land, by holding up to ridicule, by
magnifyfng certain of her weaknesses.
Events have disproVed the critics and
the prophets. Consider the growth
of the self governing ideals in this
hemisphere until it has touched all
lands. Steadily democracy grows I'm
Europe The angel of liberty is
abroad in the world keeping step with
the angels of science and invention.
The fathers, as they journeyed from
the east came to this goodly country
and there planted the seeds of liberty,
democracy and fraternity. War &C.
cupies the great countries of the
world today, but if it burns up the
evil seeds of autocracy, it is plant

new continent must emerge from the
abyss, continent wherein shall be
found the increase Of integrity, alb

tory Of self-government, which will
be the heritage of all the people OF
the world.

PLANS OF THE ARMY.


The statement herewith Of the
work OF the Salvation Army In Eu-
rope, on the battle fields and In the
training camps, suggests the scope OF
the work that would be done for
American soldiers by the American
divisions OF the Salvation Army.
CAS- soon as the state Of war be
tween the United States and Germany
was declared 70 exist, the Salvation
Army in the United States promptly
followed the example Of the organiza-
ton In other countries and placed all
its buildings at the disposal Of the
government. A list OF 107 buildings,
with accommodation for 10000 sol
diers, accompanied this offer. The
government authorities accepted this
offer subject to requisition as needed.
Ambulance units viii be equipped
and sent to the front with the United
States troops These units viii be
manned by Salvationists and adher-
ents, all Of whom, IN addition to be-
ing skilled In medical and ambulance
work, win also be able to give slir-
itual aid TO the wounded and dying.
"Huts will be established at the
concentration camps, each one under
the direction Of four competent Of
ficers. Reading, writing and rest
rooms, games, music, singing. enter
tainments, religious services and
other social activities viii be pro-
yided. Light refreshments will be
served.
OTHER PLANS FOR WAR WORK.
"In addition 20 the hut and ambu-
lance work, the plans Of the Salvation
Army war service league include:
.la) Relief Of widows and or.
phans, with advice to individuals on
adjustment to changed conditions
confronting them.

Estimates based on the plans out.
lined show that q fund of $500, 600,

money should be raised at the earliest
