"Soldiers in the Trenches Are
Thinking More About Future Life"

But what kind OF religion are the
soldiers accepting?
Strangely enough, It is the reli-
gion OF the mystic. II has 10 DO
mainly with supernatural things.
Materialism is on the wane.
Soldiers in the trenches see" be-
yond the things Of this world. Per-
haps It's because they are thinking
more about immortality and the
future life.
Just as We at home are looking
forward to the time when We shall
meet again our boys who have gone
west" so they feel that there's
going to be a reunion with the dear
ones who were left at home.
The religion Of the soldier leads
him to believe that death does not
end all-it means merely the ex-
change OF one field OF service foE.an-
other-for there's going to he work
for him in the life TO Come-worth-
while work, too. And he's being
fitted for il here.
In that future life there's going
to be the fullest development OF his
personality-this is plainly the
teaching OF the Bible-so that he'll
know you, and you will recognize
him.
All this has made him a better man
while he's been over there" fight
ing for his ideals-hghting for you
and his country-and the world.

Only a Shadow.

Z. This is about a man who had never viewed
himself in the mirror of self-appraisaL
Like that misguided cockerel, Chanticleer, he
thought the could not rise unless he SO wiled
One merning this illusioned gent person saw
lis shadow stretching out before him.
"AhI' he soliloquized, "Im giant. Just as in
ssature tower so shall 1 stand in powerF
That morning he set about materializing this
coveted condition.
He tyrannized over those him and through
them passed the oppression to the lowlest of his
race.
They paid tithes and homage, and their women
slaves.
But he was content There still existed
lands and peoples beyond the pale OF his despotic
dominion
He set himself to subdue and subugate them
He entered into imaginary pact with certain
astral forces and pretended pal with Deity while
he hobnobbed with Mars.
He threw bones of contention to the dogs OF
war. He stirred up kettle of strife with the
ladle OF miltarism He lied and spied, plotted and
spotted, dreamed and schemed with secrecy and
cunning.
When all seemed ready to set up his World
Dynasty, he again caught sight of his shadow.
: 1t was noon. What earlier resembled the out
lines of a Goliath had shrunk to the dimensions
OF blotl
- And now the gathering dusk of nightfall is
slowly enshrouding Kaiser Bill.

The Next Phase.

With the Germans thrown back on the Aisne,
possibly to the plateau, of the Chemn-des-
Danes, the campaign of 1918 draws near to its
final act.
Initiative or will it again pass to the enemy for
a new, desperate, and eliminating thrust for a
decision, which he has vowed to reach before the
year is out?
I; 1t is of course, too early to appraise the full
effects of the classic victory of the second battle
of the Marine, which is still in progress. Before
we tell what will of il, must know
how far the Teuton will be driven, back, whether
his retreat has been turned, many accounts have
stated into rout; and whether it is possible for
Ludendorf to shape another blow at the allied
lire before the latter part OF September.
3 We know nothing of the plans of Foch. 1t may
well be that his brain is maturing plan to
tinue the offensive against the enemy at various
points the front Indeed there are many rea-
I sons why this plan is feasible The new American
units sufficient to the tide at the Marine,
+. and Field Marshal Hag stated yesterday that
Through them "the balance has been restored" He
hints that the allies have now achieved equality
of man power in the West with the enemy If this
+. be true there is no reason why Foch should not
permanently the initiative, if he chooses to
, do So
!; The counter stroke which has proven so bril-
lianty successful already has been followed by
renewed local activity by the British in the Albert
sector. This may be preliminary to push" by
the Haig forces, iGasmuch heavy draft on
Prince Rupprecht's forces in Flanders made to
bolster up the prince in the Rheims scissors
salient 1t is entirely possible, also, that Foch will
continue his pressure against the German lines
along the Asne before they have become stabilized.
But the main fact is that the bubble OF German
.invnciblity has been punctured and that the Ger
man boast OF forcing a decision before winter has
been flattened out utterly If Foch decides on
resumption of his Fabian policy, German strategy
during the next eight weeks will be interesting to
watch. Ludendorf cannot afford to remain silent
very long Indeed it is probable that he will fol-
low the fate of Won Moltke and Falkenhayn as
the result of his i1-starred Marne offensive. The
new commander-in-chief, whoever he be, will be
called upon for action without delay The cardinal
feature OF all Prussian strategy is the offensive 1t
cannot resign itself to the defensive now, even
to waiting game" until Foch displays his hand,
without tacit confession of defeat.
1t is probable that the cunning Foch will let
the German try his hand at the attack once more
will let him dig himself into another narrow pocket,
if he chooses to do so, and then apply the pncers
in exactly the same that he applied them to
Won Kluck and to the crown prince.
The next few weeks will provide a test for
Prussian strategy and Prussian psychology which
will contain a large part of the answer to the ques-
ton as to how long the will continue.

Those Bulgars.

Bulgaria is an accursed disciple of the Hun
The Bulgarians making the occupied parts
of Greece second Belgium.
The rules of war have been swept aside and
they take sort of beastly pride in initiating the
vile style of the Teuton invader.
Hundreds of Greek girls are the playthings OF
Bulgarian brutes in officers garb
Theys have deported thousands into living
hell of slavery, underfed and under lash.
Outrages the Dark Ages seldom saw are Of
daily occurrence. Atrocities unspeakable are the
sport of their soldiery
The conduct of Huns and Bulgarians more read
lily associates itself with claws, hair fangs and the
roar of wild beast than with even the utter de-
pravity of man!
The lust of savage and "demeanor" of gorilla
seems to sum up the uneashed Bulgar or Teuton
When judgment is passed by the allied powers
Bulgaria will be meted the same severity as Ger
many and anything Bulgarian will henceforth be
anathema to the civilized nations that today stand
aghast before the crimes of this nation of butchers
and beasts '-..g ~

Is II the Worst?

An Ohio Judge believes that stealing from ones
own mother is the worst possible ofense." He
said so in sentencing 2o-year-old boy charged
with stealing money from his mother
Stealing is bad Stealing from ones mother is
bad. Stealing money is bad. Stealing time is
bad. Stealing anything is bad. But is stealing
money from ones mother the worst possible Of
fense?" What do you think about it? Can you
name a dozen or hundred offenses equally as bad?
Is the son who breaks his mothers heart by DIS
obedience, by stealing from others, by neglect,
committing lesser offense than the who takes
money from her purse?
Is there mother earth who wouldn't rather
her son robbed her than that he stole from others?
And who is better judge of boys worst posi-
Bile offense" than his mother? Surely no man
Judge! Few mothers, think, would say the
worst possible offense her could be guilty
OF would be the taking of dollars from her purse.

BY the Rev. CHARLES sTELzLE.

You can't stick out your tongue
and make a face at God when a
shell may momentarily hurl you
from the earth"
This sounds all right, and there's
lot of truth in il, but l don't be-
lieve that many of the boys at the
front are afraid to debut they've
come to have too much respect for
God to make q face at Him under
any circumstances.
While our fighters aren't particu-
larly pious. a ranting infidel mitsht
well stand a good chance of getting
pot-shot in the trenches-eyen
though the weapons used might con-
sist mainly OF mud.
Not long ago-at home-most of
US avoided thinking much about
God. but God has become very real
to the boys at the front
He isn't the old-fashioned God
away off somewhere-who made so
many of us mad because He was
such an autocrat-the God OF the
theologians with their doctrines of
predestination and foreordination,
and all other interesting but con-
fusing declarations-the God we
have come to know lives with us
and feels for US and has mercy
upon US.
And this is the God that the bows
at the front believe in.

but because the volume Of such busi-
ness was comparatively small and
the Germans made a specially of
hand made surgical tools. The other
day in Washington I saw the set of
surgical instruments adopted by the
medical chief Of our army. Practi-
cally every instrument could be
readily made by any Of our plier
manufacturers and the orders are
running into such quantities that
they will be stamped out as are
American made pliers. In the days to
come will those American surgeons
who are seeing and caring for the
thousands of victims of Hun atroci-
ties ever permit themselves to forget
sufficiently to purchase a surgical in
strument made in Germany? Never!
The memory OF those doctors and
nurses who lost their lives in the
LIandovery Castle murder cry in pro-
test even against the thought. The
Germans may ship their instruments
over here without Identifying marks ?
Not II true Americans are in the pur-
chasing department. Is Germany's
surgical instrument business dead in
America? Mr.. Buyer, it's up to you.
We could 20 on endlessly matching
each hideous inhuman atrocity with an
article on which Germany and Aus
tria enjoyed American business, but
1t Is useless to continue to convince
when We are already over-sold on the
subject. We could measure miles of
dead French. English. Italians. Bel
gians, Rumanians, Russians, Greeks
and American soldiers with a Ger
man-made tape,' and then forever
blacklist German-made measuring in
struments. The sights seen through
periscopes and field glasses have
killed their optical glass business. The
pictures taken with German-made
cameras have killed their lens busi-
ness oh, it's endless. The Germans
and Austrians have repeatedly said
that business is our God. Let's not
argue with them. They aren't worth
IT, Let's allow them to continue the
siander. Yes. the Central Powers
may have their own way on that little
subject. Our business is Just sacred
enough so that 1t will not go to Ger
many and Australia in the DAYS to
come. Price may control some things
but the purchase of goods by Ameri-
cans from the Central Powers in
vclves a certain thing as well known
and as highly regarded in America as
II is little known and disregarded IN
Germany and Austria. That thing is
personal honor.
No true American would in any
way knowingly impair that sacred
thing, nor would he allow his fell
low American to be deceived or i'm
posed upon. Guarding this country

deceptions that are sure to be at

Back to Germany.

Remember what the Kaiser said to Ambassa-
dor Gerard about that army of Germans in the
United States which would spring up to aid the
Hfatheriand" if America got into the war?
AS he often has done, the imperial monster
was talking through his hat" He judged all
Americans of German descent by the few who did
aid his pro-Hun propaganda.
We have been in the over year, and
we're in it up to the limit and wen stay there
until the Kaiser is beaten down. But what of
those who were to spring to Germanys aid?
Well read this:
Among the American prisoners surprisingly
large percentage bear German names They say
men of German descent are prominent among
American army leaders"
That written by the German war CORE
spondent of Berlin newspaper. 1t may explain
to the stupid brain of the Hun what has become
Of the Kaiser's army in the United States" 1t

The Oath.

The sturdy Americansm of Rice County, Kan
sas, resents the form of oath required of officers
enlisting in the American army.
These farmers have discovered that there is
one form OF oath for the enlisted man and another
for officers, the army having followed the tradition
established by Gen. Steuben. In Kansas no
reason appears why an oath which is good enough
for an enlisted should not be good enough
for officer, and petition has been forwarded
to the Senate through Senator Curtis to substitute
the enlisted mans oath for the officers oath.
