"LET US HAVE PEACE"

A monster Is slowly raising Its head
throughout this country which, unless
beaten down Immediately, will become
the most dangerous enemy that the
cause of civilization has yet been
called upon TO face. This evil that
threatens Is to be found in the desire
for peace at whatever cost. II Is the
old "peace at any price" canker raised
to the Nth power.
1t Is easy to dispose of this, as yet
furtive but steadily increasing. desire
for peace by pinning to 1t the label of
German propaganda. But this will not
suffice.
That the world is war weary Is only
too true. France and England have
had this blood sickness ON the part of
their people to contend with for a long
time. Its effect on Russia has been
demonstrated.
We, In America, have but COM
menced our share of suffering and sac
rifce. II this revulsion of feeling is
allowed to spread before the road is
half travelled there can be no doubt as
TO our destination. Open hostility to
England, frank sympathy with Ger
many, conscientious" or other objec-
tions to war, are as nothing In their
effect upon our part in the struggle
and the destiny of the world-which
now admittedly rests upon our shout
ders-compared to this desire for the
wars ending simply that peace may
reign. Peace today, with Germany un-
defeated, would be a living m to
America as a nation and to every man,
woman and child who wish to continue
to be known as Americans.

Sheep supply was light and on a

LOOKING AHEAD.

In the minds of the citizens of a de-
mocracy the Idea that service is due
to the government from every one
must be firmly implanted or the en-
~franchised cease to be representative
Of such a government.
The ~selective draft answers the pur-
pose of this service, from a military
standpoint, during the war we are at
present engaged In, but largely he
cause Of the fact that we have time to
prepare while our allies combat the
enemy. We must look to the future
and the possibilities of a war declared
upon us when we will have no ally.
Should this occur s~elective conscrip-
ton would be of no avail. Accepting
the fact that the citizen of a democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is 1t not logical that we should
organize this service, which shall be
trained and equipped for an emergen-
cy and able to act Immediately as a
perfect machine when the necessity
arisesf Few citizens but believe that
universal military training Is absolute
ly necessary to the future safety of
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first opportune moment.
The speeding up Of our plans to win
this war should in no way be inter-
fered with, and future policies must
be held in check that they may not In.
terfere with the winning Of this war.
But when legislators feel that the
speeding up Of the war is accomplish
ed a bill should be passed creating a
system Of universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for our country's defense In the fu-
ture, thereby assuring us against the
disaster Of an attack which would find
us unprepared and completely at the
mercy Of an organized foe.

We have just held a great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where a large sum was raised for
this remarkable unit, which has sailed
TO do such valuable work I'm France.
Every person In II, even to the plumb
ers and mechanics, are women, and
they volunteered for dangerous service.
Other branches of our war service
have been an intensive food conserva-
ton campaign and the War-Savings
Stamps campaign. In all this active
patriotic work we feel inspired with
the thought of our own chairman,
Mrs. Norman der. Whitehouse, abroad

voted service "over there"
Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch of. our
work is the great university extension
of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa,
tional Committee.
Another line Of work is that Of our
intelligence Committee, which lists Of
ficials of all political parties and all
men in every township and county In
the state who have run or are to run
for Office. 1t Is believed this commit

as time goes on, and its intelligence

state most tellingly.
Our Americanization Committee has
Issued some very effective and educa-
tional literature and Is organizing In
every center and community where
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that a great part Of q ma
tons war time efficieicy Is In keeping
life normal and efficient at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps most nearly steady and normal
In its Industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for II.

socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements. their munich

some of these advantages should be

What War Ooe0

For those who go to war tho victory fs not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming. ly paradoxical things taught by the conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost unl. formly developed into tough and relf' able soldiers, often more so than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many a man who had been timid and considered himself a coward was in reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home Men who have been disgraceful fail- ures in civil life have been converted In the fro of wn1 into leaders of high ability.

TWO Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named In honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- clal patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in t South Carolina regiment And in the attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works. Jump ing from one of the embrasures Jasper mounted the colors. tied them tc staff and held them In position under hot fire until another flagstaff wss brought. For this commission was offered him but he declined 1t through distrust of his qualifications. OK an- other occasion he ana another sergeant named Newton attacked British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty ss named Newton in honor Of Jas. per's companion on this occasion. 4 county in George and central square In Savannah help to perpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.

Has Two "Mermaids."

J. E. Smith. a Spaniard, residing in Hamilton, Ont, possesses two crea- tures that are probably unique. He considers them to be mermaids. Though these are described as "fab- led" or "ffc1t.tious" creatures in the dictionaries, those of Mr. Smith have heads shaped like those of human be- ings and bodies that are distinctly fish-like. One is much larger than the other, an6 IS considered to be the mother and reckoned to be 300 years old. Both have fine hair like a human being, and small mustache and beard. The head is attached to hu man-iike neck which merges into the flsh-like body, and the army are like those of monkey, only that ths fingers are webbed. It is said that the "mermaids" were found in the wreck of ship in tho Arabian see

Why Flour Explodes.

Records of the last ten ,earS show that about twenty explosions have oc- cured in cereal, four and feed mills, with the loss, of S2,0O0,OO0 worth of property, as well as the killing or in' turing of over two hundred employees. Investigations regarding the causes of these explosions and subsequent fires have not proved conclusively what are the difficulties to be avoided. In eight cases the explosions are believed to have originated from the sparks pro- duced in the machines during the grinding process. Tiny particles of gravel or metallic substances coming Into contact with the plates of the na- chine may produce enough sparks 90 ignite the dust within the machine. Another possible cause for cereal dust explosions suggested Is the use of oaked James.

 Work AbrOad-Union Elects

Hct Springs, May 17.-Southern Baptists today closed routine discus sions attendant upon the 63rd session of their convention by giving the For cign Mission board assurance of in creased financial assistance to rehabil- itate damage done to Southern Bap- tist institutions in foreign lands.
 Seven missionaries appeared before drains that the war has made upon their resources as well as reporting progress that had been made. While the men of the church were discus sing foreign missions, the women. members of the Women's Missionary Union were formulating plans for ex- tension of women's work in the war in connection with churches.
 It was urged by Mrs. J. H. Dawson of Texas that the Red Cross and simi- lar activities were imperatively in cumbent upon all women of the land as testimonial >of true patriotism, but that an added task was imposed upon the women of the union to in crease the assuaging influence of the churches Gin this hour of stress" when so many women are being called to face the supreme sacrifice of seeing their men march away to battle.
 The union reelected all officers as follows: Mrs. w. T. James, Rich mond, Va, president; Miss Kathleen Mallory, Baltimore, corresponding secretary; Mrs. A. C. Johnson, Balti- more, recording secretary; Mrs. w. c. Lowndes, Baltimore, treasurer.
 The sessions of the Union will con- tinue until Tuesday,.
 At the Southern Baptist convention today F. w. Stephens of Columbia, Mo-. chairman of the Northern Bap- tist convention, brought greetings to the convention but no suggestion of fusion was made.
 The night session continued discus sion on forward missions by speakers who have been in close touch with the work.

Yin Cans Were Valuable Then.

It Is within the memory of many people on the farms that there was a time when tin cans were not too plen- tiful. Now and then canned goods were bought, and for the empty cans plenty of uses were found. For in- stance, tomato plants were started in them, standing iii tho sunny kitchen window long before the garden was clear of snow; they were convenient for holding paint when small Job had to be done, and the small boys treasured them for holding their bait for those adventurous and ever-to-be remembered fishing excursions of early summer. About all the tin cans that came to a farmhouse twenty-five or thirty years ago were put to good use.
