and one is Jew.
For thirty they have engaged in business side
by side the Catholic has not dealt with the Pro
tesant and the Catholic and the Protestant have had
dealings with the Jew.
What is he to me?" each has said. ''He is
not of my faith: 1 will avoid him."
So for thirty years they have dwelt together
strangers in a friendly world.
Then the shadow of fearful And out
those three homes three boys went forth alone Three
fathers waited hearworn for the letters from there
There Soldiers of Friendness here" the
boys wrote home. "They bring chocolate, and mo-
pictures baseball, and good lecturers; the
memory of mother and of God!'
"Hep those friendly agencies when you have the
chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found them
working shoulder to shoulder great campaign
for funds.
Not Catholic and Protestant and a Jew-but
as good citizens united in common cause.
And they worked they came to know each other,
and they ashamed that for many years they had
been strangers side by side.
Surely this is one of the compensations of war;

WAR NEARING A CLOSE

The war is Enthusiastically drawing to a close
Germany stands alone facing the world and has
been notified that the terms which armistce will
be granted will be made known by Marshal Foch upon
application to him of the military commanders
For Germany the is hopeless, and she
gain nothing by refusing to accept the terms which the
United States the Allies have agreed upon however
hard those terms may be.
Austria has surrendered and this much
than that Germany has lost ally, that Aus
tran territory be used by the Allies in reaching
Germany. 1t especially that Germany will be
deprived of various supplies, especially coal and OIL
which any nation must have these days to make war
The disintegration of the great empire of Mittel-
europa has been rapid that the mind hardly

have been carried in the Balkans, in Italy land

pished the defeat of Austria in the
the greatest battle in history after the Allied armies
had defeated Bulgaria in swift blow and English
troops had overwhelmed Turkey.
1t is doubtful if any of these things could have been
successfully carried out without Marshal Foch's
genius and the American armies. fact only five
months ago looked tho the Allies themselves
facing certain and perhaps sudden defeat the Ameri

Allied armies in the Balkans the Italian armies in

be said that the American boys in France made all
these other possible American peo-

But in all the congratulations which take to

From November to June it is frozen
