for a complete surrender and
Rehabilitation Vi the German
Army and the German Govern
ment. America must not for

Germay's peace proposals, which
are at best German propaganda.

PAUL V. MATTHEWS

1t is with the deepest regret
that the HERALD this week
chronicles the sudden and I'M
timely death of its friend and
fellow-worker, PaulV. Matthews.
1t takes the far removal of
death to enable us to perceive
accurately the worth of a man
TO the community in which he
lives. Clearer vision is lost in
contact, obscured by the myriad
complexities of temporal life,
but to a degree far less than
usual was this the case in the
life of Paul Matthews.
Some one has said that the
greatest joy of living comes
from having friends. Judged by
this standard, Paul Matthews
life contained as much of JOY in
the few decades of his earthly
existence as many who have
reached the allotted span of three
score years and ten. He made
friends because he loved his fell
low man, and to those who were
privileged to share his friendship,
his untimely going is a grievous
thing.
Through years of personal
knowledge, we never knew him
do an unkind thing. He was a
faithful friend, a devoted hus-
band and father, and although
one may sorrow for his family
and his friends, the conviction
grows that sorrow is useless for
him who has gone on toa wider
plane of love and friendship than
even his faithful spirit could
achieve on earth.

is to be congratulated upon the
fine spirit with which organiza-
tons and groups of many kinds
some of them of national stand
ing, have harnessed themselves
together under the leadership
of the governments agency in
a common ministry to the men

on tWenty-one months. In the mean time net revenues, as previously eA- plalned in these advices, are to be guaranteed upon the average of those of the three years immediately pre- ccdinS the war. Thus railroad stockholders until the expiration of government control regardless of in creased labor costs and costs of everything else connected with the transportation industry, need concern themselves only with the condition in which their property will finally be returned. Some indirect benefits also suggest themselves in this direction, chiefly in the form of economies which can readily be undertaken un-
 der governmental auspices, but which would have been impossible other wise. These economies will, it is un- derstood, include elimination of un- necessary hiGh-salaricd officials. Un- profitable services will be annulled;
 expensive competition of fast trains will be discontinued. Rate control of an arbitrary character will permit ad
 Vances sufficient to meet increasti expenditures. In q word, advantage Will be taken of governmental control to cut off barnacles which may have developed so gradually as not to be noticed. From this standpoint the railroads upon return to their owners should be more valuable properties than they are at present. Beyond this is the promise of the finances so necessary for new equipment, exten- sions and improvements, the absence Of which was a source of weakness of long standing in railroad circles. The administration War Finance Corporation bill has already passed the senate. There is at this writing no reason to believe that it will not be on the statute books in a short time.

London, March 9.-The most vital importance is attached by the British admiralty to the darkening of ships as explained by Sir Sric Geddes in his statement in the house of commons last Thursday. The admiralty desires fullest possible publicity be given to the first sea lords remarks by pla- carding and otherwise.

THE HDI5YA."

In Nigeria a native doctor is called
q "dibya," but before he has right
to this title he must fulfill certain con-
ditions. He must receive his training
from some famous doctor unless he be
the son of doctor; he must be ap-
proved by other doctors; he must
swear that he will never give a medic
inal herb to anyone, unless very
near relative, without receiving a GER
tain amount of money in payment;
and he must take part in number
of religious ceremonies. L.
When at last he has earned, the right
to his title, he goes to a distant vii
lage and there tries his skill in curing
disease. If successful, he returns to
his home, beats his drum and sings of
the wonderful deeds he has accom-
plished and of his marvellous skill.
Before long his fame spreads abroad
and people from the surrounding vii
lagos bring their sick to him.
The "dibya" in treating a patient.
first consults his charms and spells
and proclaims what his price will be,
and if the afflicted one agrees to the
amount, he proceeds with his opera
tions. His fees are by no means small
and he rarely fails to get what he
asks, in spite of the fact that there
are many in the medical profession.
Naturally, however, with the introduce
ton Of Christianity, the natives lose
their confidence in the "dibya.'

POLES IN. AMERICA.
POLISH PEOPLE UNITE WITH
THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS
O. IN WAR WORK.

The pastor of the Polish Catholic
church at Leadwood, st. Francois coin.
ty, Missouri, Rev. Julian Moczydlowski,
possesses a large portion of the spirit
of service that is prompting pastors of
all denominations to support the gov
eminent in the Liberty Loans.
American Poles will double what
they did in the Third Liberty Loan,
the subscriptions then amounting to
$37 1888, 700, he says. His idea is that
1t is not a time for talking, but for
action, for the, government needs &C
ton more than ever.
Il am sure that clergymen of all
denominations, Father Moezydlowski
said in a letter to the Liberty Loan
organization, Twill assist the govern
mer1t in selling the Fourth Liberty
Loan Bonds, because they know that
this war is fight for the principles of
Christianity and humanity.
IF the clergy and the churches
would not support the government in
such a noble cause, they would not
only be slackers, but enemies of the
/.
country.
Tt will never happen. All churches
and nationaIities WIN support the gov.
eminent in the drive for the Fourth
Liberty Loan, as they did before.
IF we want to win-if we want to
beat kaiserfsm and Prussianism-we
must support our government by CIV
ing-loaning money to it, which is the
best investment in the whole world
"Our boys are doing nobly on all
fronts. They gladly give their lives
for the honor of our country, and they
ask us to help them. Will we be deaf
and ungrateful? God forbid it! Every
one of us will do. his part, and victory,
noble victory, will come. Then human.
ity and liberty will reign everywhere !"
