Yes, it is that bread upon the waters re-

and Austrian armies thrust her back the Pave and
threatened her with the fate of Serbia and Belgium Then
it that Britain and France hurried the breach

Grover cIexeIand,. WARMING.

Chattanooga Times: Some indus
trious deliver into history has dug out
the following words of the late
Grover Cleveland, twice president of
the United States and an American
all over: 1.-The nation that cannot re-
sist aggression Is constantly exposed
to it. Its foreign policy is Of neces-
sity weak and its negotiations are
conducted with disadvantage because
it is not in condition to enforce
terms dictated by it's sense of jus.
tice and right These were true
words and uttered at time of
necessity for preparedness. but the
demagogical cutlery of politicians
against "militarism" diverted the
public mind from it's consideration
and-then came the Lusitania! If
Grover Cleveland's warning had been
needed and this country had then
adopted sane and sound military
policy: had provided an adequate
navy, such as it was able to have
done, there, perhaps, would have
been no European war, or, If there
had been, there would have been no
Lusitania outrage; there would have
been no sinking of neutral ships or
merchant vessels without warning,
much less "spurlos versenkt," carry
ing American citizens, and in all
probability the tragedy would have
been over long ago.

| Steiner's course is that he is de.
| ceiving himself He is not deceiv-
| ing the militant. virile spirit of the
country that upholds the government
and proposes to see this war fought
to finish, but not finished till 1t is
settled right.
DR.. Steiner may be sincere, but he
is affected by the influences amidst
which he first saw light But we
seriously question his right to inter-
pref the loyal American mind or to
formulate a standard of civic pro-
priety. Manifestations do not prove
him TO be an Indigenous product of
our soil. In times Of war the sin
cerity Of individuals is not sufficient;
their words and actions are the rocks
on which the nation was built. No
man is a good citizen unless he is
an average citizen. What would this
nation do in times like this il it's
leaders were to assume DR.. Steiner's
attitude toward the world war? What
would become Of the honor or ma
terial welfare of the United States IL
the administration were in the hands
of apologists? If a man is short in
the elements of patriotism or in the
qualities that court sacrifice. willing
ness to do and die for the nation
at war, he is not a sufficiently good
citizen. The fathers and mothers
with sons in the army refuse to ac-
cept the Steiner kind as models or
even serviceable citizens. We want
men of the heroic type who say by
word and action, death to kaiserism,
and who stand unqualified by the
United States while it wages this
warfare for freedom of mankind

1t is understood. Of course. that the peace

Life has SORROWS enough
And unacceptable pain.
Its ways sometimes dark and rough
And hope seems all in vain;
Yet into bitterest hours
Stealing make amends.
Come thoughts which bloom Ike desert flowers,
Sweetening thoughts OF friends
Lovingly then | long
To be what ! ought TO be.

And stronger their love for me;
Hope which / thought was dead
The bonds of sorrow rends,
And life, with its pain and grief and dread,
Grows dearer because OF friends.

Though may battle cruel odds,
Though but fight to die
No ills my life may spoil
That upon depends;
Though bitter the grief and hard the toll,

he is a good citizen, but in reality
he is an alien in sympathies. In

Baker was a poor selection for this
vitality important position. To begin
with he is pacifist in mind and ideal

duties with little more conception of

sumed his portfolio. Fortunately for
the latter he was willing to accept the

ORIGIN OF BREAD is UNK0NN

But. that originally bread was not
roasted or baked. as moderns prepare
It, but eaten as dough or paste, may
be inferred from its relation with the
word ''broth," both of these words be-

baking preceded the leavening Of the
bread that causes II to rise; also that
the original form OF the bread was not

Like the matzoths, or unleavened bread
Of the Jews, or the tortillas Of the
