plucky boy who impersonated his
brother in the big battle was describ-
ed at police court when Henry Arthur
Stevens. Is, was charged with wear
ing a military uniform without au-
thority
Chief Constable Reeve said the boy
had been brought from France to be
dealt with by the civil authorities. He
had an elder brother in the Army, but
when on leave last November he de-
serted.
In February. when the police made
inquiries, the accused boy dressed up
in khaki and surrendered to the po-
lice. impersonating his brother.
He was handed over to the military
authorities and was sent to France
in his brothers name. He Joined a
regiment in the front line
For the first sixteen days of the
German offensive he was actually in
action. He said he had killed many
Germans-in fact. he could not miss
them.
His identity was subsequently dis
covered and he was sent back to Eng
land. In view of the facts the COM
petent military authority declined to
grant necessary permit for sum-
mary prosecution, and the magistrate
agreed with the military decision

made at home. Make an oblong
frame, Sc inches long and IS inches

one-half inches wide. and one-half
inch thick. Galvanized wire netting
of one-half inch mesh may be
stretched across the bottom of the

staples. Or laths one-eighth inch

made of uniform size. they may be

Only bright. sunny days should be
chosen for sun-drying. as rain and
dew cause the products to decay.

take military training in preparation
for later Army service, and at the
same time attend specially arranged
vocational or technical schools, is
planned by the government as a
means of dealing with the growing
shortage of labor. without drawing
boys away from their schooling.
The crops will be developed through
extension of the United States Boys
Working Reserve, which already has
enrolled 250.000 boys between the ages
of 16 and 21, engaged mainly this
summer in farm work. Many of these
boys will so back to school in the
fall, but large proportion, together
with others to be enrolled, will be di-
rected into industrial work to fill va
cancies left by men now being drafted
for the Army.
These boys will be organized as
units in each community, serving
under an adult training officer, taxi
ing courses of study in night schools,
or by some other systematic program
living either at home or in camps and
wearing the uniform of the Reserve
Corps, which will be of gray cloth
with a roll collar jacket.

RELIGION, In AND AFTER the WAR
By William T. Ellis.

General Pershing's ruthlessness in
''scrapping" inefficient men is one of
the surprises of the observer in
France. No officer or method can
continue for an hour after he or it
fall to make good" War is not a
polite or considerate thing. Its is
sues are so vital and tremendous,
that no small thing is permitted to
stand in the way of its success. Pre-
cedents, conventions, convenience,
prestige, all are as nothing in the
face of the one supreme considera-
ton.
That same spirit, which put first
things first. is being impaired to all
of life by the war. 1t is making over
many of the great institutions OF So
ciety. Soldiers have learned new
state of mind. which distinguishes
between essential or nonessentiai.
So when they come home they will
change a great many things that we
stay-at-homes have been reluctant to
touch, because OF tiniGity conserva-
tism or prejudice. They have shaken
of old fears, habits and associations,
and il will not irk them to throw
into the scrap-heap many things that
belong there. while they are about
the task of bringing essential insu-
tutions UP TO a hundred per cent ef-
ficiepcy. Every one of us needs to set
fixed firmly in his mind the convic-
ton that grave changes are coming
in many departments of life, after
the war.
Wars Effect Upon the Church
Now what will happen to the
Church" Something, we may be
sure. For this oldest and largest of
institutions is one of the first and
most formidable factors with which
the world has to reckon. 1t under
lies and embraces most of the forces
that make for change and progress.
Out of the Church came the ideals
which sent the allied nations 10 war
for the Jesus-ideals of justice. right
eousness and brotherhood. There is
nothing that touches the life OF men

Tile New Good Society"

Now that all thinking persons are
looking forward to a reconstruction
of the social order, we are bound TO
contemplate the place of the Church
in the new scheme of things. All
our problems are problems of human
relationship. The question is one of
men and women getting along to-
gether in kindlier, pleasanter, more
brotherIy fashion. Wise men tack
big names on to what we want; but
really, all that we are after is that
folks shall be happier and more
neighborly - all the folks, every
where in this big world-and that
nobody shall be allowed to hurt any
body.
Which means that we want good
society" for everybody; and good
society" that is real is the society
of good people. 1t takes more than
a Fifth Avenue tailor and barber and
haberdasher and manicurist to mt
one for good society" The transfor-
nation must begin at the center of
things, away down at the springs OF
being. And that is the business of
the Church. She does not introduce
candidates for her good society" to
certain social leaders; she introduces
them to Christ. He takes them in
hand and makes them over, from the
hearL OuIWdTu-
In simplest definition, the Church
is a company of friends of Christ.
All congenial to Him, the members
find themselves congenial to one an
other. The tie that binds them is
their common relation to the Lord.
Many barriers separate them other
wise: for Jesus draws His friends
from every race and condition of
mankind. He has taken all sorts of
raw material from the stark heather
African OF the jungle to the grad
uate of Europe's universities, and
gives them new mind, even His
own. He makes them want the same
good and shun the same evils. Upon
them all He puts His own stamp of
brotherhood. He calls them children
of His heavenly Father and imparts
to them the family spirit
When the Great. Change Comes
So we have this world wide fellow
ship of men and women and children
who give first allegiance to the per-
sonaIity and Spirit and teachings of
