The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1918-07-20

More people are in attendance at the Feast OF
Tabernacles this year than ever before. The
staff of Zion Home is taxed to the utmost, tolllng
day and night taking care Of the guests and
looking after their needs. Extra beds have been
placed in every nook and corner of the immense
building, and the rooms of Temple Cottage An
mex have been converted into sleeping apart
ments. Aside from this, many people are stay
ing with friends and private families over the
city.
Everyone seems happy, and the meetings have
been seasons of spiritual power and great bless
ing. The General Overseer has delivered four
hour addresses daily besides conducting other
meetings, and some wonderful teaching has been
given.
Large audiences were present at all the ser
vices in Shiloh Tabernacle on last Lords Day.
The occasion was particularly notable, not only
as the first Lords Day of lions Eighteenth Feast
of Tabernacles but as the anniversary of the
Conservation of the Temple Site by John Alex
ander Dowie on July II, 1900.
Large panoramic photographs of that memor-
able event in lions history now hang on the walls
of the Administration Building and other build
ngs in Zion City. The spade used on that oc-
cason and the first spadeful of earth turned up
by lions founder are in the possession of the
General Overseer today.)

YES, in the armies of Germany,
encouraged thereto by the mil
itary leaders as a part of Ger
many's campaign of Frightful-
ness. These people must be
made to realize that sin must
be punished and that crime
must be atoned for, or else the
blood of millions of soldiers
who have died will have been
shed in vain, and the broken
hearted women, who have suf-
fered as no other women in all
human history will go unaveng-
ed.
The great danger which fac
es this country today is that
there will be a persistent effort
to bring about a premature
peace; & peace without punish
ment, which, if ever made,
would be a deep stain on the
honor and chivalry of this Ma
ton.
The Nation which condones
international crime is akin to
the criminal as the individual
who condones crime becomes
III effect a participater in the
immortality of the criminal.
1t behooves every honest
hearted man and woman in this
country to make certain that
neither in the pulpit nor in the
press nor in private converse
zion shall there he the lightest
word said in favor of peace un-
til that peace be written in
Berlin, after the criminals nave
paid the full measure of penal
~ for their crimes.
con to Berlin !" should be
the unceasing demand of every

On to Berlin

The glorious news which
comes from France, telling of
how our troops and those of
our Allies have beaten back
the army of invaders who have
cursed every foot of ground ov.
err which they have trod, may
we'll give heart to the nation
and to all civilization. 1t
would, however, be a serious
mistake for us to imagine that
this means the ending of the
war for it does not. We are a
long way from Berlin, and UNI
til the American flag flies over
Berlin as conquered city, and
the terms of peace are written
there, and the Hohenzollerns,
the Hapsburgs and their lead
ers in this world horror have
paid with their own lives the
penalty for their unspeakable
crimes, it would be premature
to do much shouting.
The fight is yet a long and
desperate one.
We may rest assured that
before our troops cross the
Rhine and break down the bar
riers ahead of us there will be
fearful losses, and we shall
have to stell our hearts to q
full realization of the magni-
tude of the task.
Germany, the blacklist Grim
inal in the worlds history, will
through every influence which
it can exert in this and in every
other country, seek to secure
peace whenever its military
leaders find that they are
doomed. We shall have peace
talk from some weak-mindeG
ministers of the Gospel, but
thank God! their number is
few. We shall have peace talk
from many papers-some NOV
ed by pro-German influences,
some by sickly neurotic senti-
ment against punishment of
crime--and whenever pro-Ger-
man develtry can carry on its
work we may rest assured it
will be done, for many men,
claiming the livery of Heaven
will be engaged in the work Of
the devil.
Many will seek to create an
impression that Germany must
not be punished and that its
people are different from its
military leaders, when every
intelligent man who has studied
the situation knows that the
people and the military leaders
are one and the same in the
support of this war.
The unspeakable Individual
crimes which marked the
movement of the German army
through Belgium and France,
crimes which blacken the
pages of human history as they
were never blackened in the
past; crimes to recount which

AUSTRIANS SHOW HATE FOR GERMANS
When Captured by the French They Checred Their Captors-Were Miserable, Pitiful, Starved Lot
 of Soldiers.

Italian Headquarters in Northern Italy. Jan. 2 The French, in theiI recent successful operation or Mount Tomba. captured more pris- oners than they had men engaged according to a veteran officer who witnessed the fight. From the tol of nearby hill he saw the French attack and afterwards saw the pris- oners, guns and boots brought in.
 A Notable Victory.
 Tn addition to the 400 prisoners we counted 560 dead on the ground and no one knows how many more were in the caverns and under bushes,' he declared. The perfect French military system enabled them to accomplish this with insig- niflcant loss-less than 50 men.
 The Fiftieth Austrian division which was the one attacked, is con- sidered a good fighting organization but the Austrians were accustomed to fighting Russians and Rumanians and this was the first time they had met the highly trained French troops.
 When the prisoners were brought in l never saw a more miserable pitiful. starved lot of soldiers. They looked like the riff-ralf from the slums of some big city. Even the officers appeared underfed and un- der-elothed and saw only one with whole pair of brooches.
 Austrians Hate Germans.
 When the officers were lined UT there were 43 Austrians and two 1 Germans. The Austrians were t0lc they would receive the usual treat ment given officers and gentlemen but the two Germans were tolC plainly that they would receive ex- actly the same treatment given tt French officers in Germany. Tht group of Austrian officers was inn pressed greatly at this and openly declared their hatred of the Ger mans A little later we heard the Austrian soldiers cheering and il turned out they were cheering their French captors.'

 MADE NERVY ESCAPE

Paris, Jan. 3.-Lieut. RaouI Luf- 5ery of Wallingford, Conn, of the Lafayette escadrille, had a narrow escape in a fight with four German battle machines last Saturday.
 The gasoline pipes on his air plane were punctured during the engagement and, altho he had the advantage of higher altitude. his machine became almost helpless thru the stoppage of his motor
 Lieut.. Lufbery seemed virtually at the mercy of the Germans, but by clever maneuvering with one of the Germans following him down almost to earth, and firing constant ly, he managed to escape unhurt. His machine was found to have eleven bullet holes in if.

Arriyals, 2,1ii; sailings, 2,074.

Altho the number of sinkings ol ships of fare tonnage the past week has been larger, the total of Decem- Der is characterized as satisfactory being only slightly larger than for November, which established low record. The tonnage sunk during December was well below that of any month previous to September Against this however, the sinkings of submarines were greater in De- cember than in any previous month since the war began
 Naval men declare that more sub marines were sunk in December than the German shipyards were able to launch; so the German sub- marine navy may now be said to have begun actually to shrink pro- cess which the allies hope to aecel- crate rapidly with the increasing effectiveness of naval methods.

 Gospel Hymns.

Bennington, Vt.. Jan. 3.-Mrs. An nie Sherwood Hawks, the famous author of gospel hymns, died at her home here at the age of S3 years.

 From her fourteenth year. when her first bit of verse was published Ill newspaper in Troy, N. Y., she devoted large part of her long life to the production of poems and hymns Of her hymns which came into common use the best known is, T Need Thee Every Hour which is said to have been translated into more foreign languages than any other modern hymn.
 Mrs. Hawks. who was born in Hoosick, N. Y., in 1885, was educated in the public schools and in Troy Seminary. After her marriage to Charles Hial Hawks, member of a New York banking firm, she lived in Brooklyn until the death of her husband in 1888.
