thus showing the esteem in which
we held these dear friends and re-
lations.
While we would more strongly
urge the scattering of beautiful
flowers of kindness and loving
deeds, of helpfulness along the
paths of our friends while they
walk with us, the placing of flowers
of earth on the graves Of our de-
ceased friends is a duty, which is
worthy. 1t is an exercise which is
calculated to bring to our minds
thonghts which impress us with
the momentous fact that we too are
ding creatures fast hasting to the
grave and to the eternal world.
While gathered in these silent
cities of the dead, we are reminded
that our probation will shortly
come to close and our immortal
souls will go out to meet the God
who gave it, thus leading us to
think more about living that life
which we must live to meet God
in peace.
II must work while it is day, the
night cometh when no man can
work, said Jesus. Friend, are you
doing that work-liviug the life
which you must live if your soul is
to be prepared to pass triumphant
ly through the dark hour of disso-
luton and go into the presence of
the holy inhabitants of Heaven,
pure and 4potless? Remember,
that this side of the grave you
must prepare or forever remain
unprepared.

Master find lodgment in your mind

GERMAN PEOPLE
OF ONE BREED

The German women are no bet
ter nor more humane than their SOL
'Iier husbands i'll their prosecution
of the war, was the assertion of
Mrs. Antoinette Funk, vice-chair-
man of the National Women's Lib
erty Loan Organization, during a
speech delivered in ST. Louis.
Mrs. Funk's Indictment of the
women of Germany was made i'm
mediately upon her entry into the
Eighth Federal Reserve District
"The women" she declared, "are
just as bad as the men. They
swarmed into Belgium behind
their armies, mistreated helpless
Belgian women, stole necessities,
toys and every manner of movable
valuables from wrecked Belgian
homes"
"When the Lusitania was sunk,
German women did most of the
celebrating. They pinned flowers
and flags upon their dresses to
commemorate the crime"
She said they carried off sewing
machines and household goods and
everything they could lay hands
on. She told of armies of women
and young girls following the ar
mics, plundering and looting and
swarming over abandoned battle
fields, ghouls of plnnder, whom
any other army would greet with
rifles and bayonets we're they found
maltreating and searching the hon.
ored. dead.
"The German people" said Mrs.
Funk, "are OF one breed; the de-
scendants of O. brutal hirsute and
terrible set of barbarians. who ter
rorized Europe 1900 years ago
,Fhey rode around then wrecking
everything in their path, men,
ace then, as now, to peace and qni-
ct among the electromagnetic" "
II do not agree with President
Wilson," continued Mrs. Funk,
"who says that some people of the
Germans are alright. They are
oil tarred with the same stick"
In Belgium, Mrs. Funk said,
women and children were forced
TO march ahead of invading troops
to serve as a protection and force
Belgian soldiers to kill their wives
aud children before they could en-
gage with the fighting men. The
German soldiers, she said, also
gassed Belgium children with per-
fumed gasses, which the children
hastened to enjoy the pretty per-
fume and inhaled the deadly gas
before their parents could rescue
them.
Mrs. Funk will make a tour of
the st. Louis district to confer
with the various State and district
Liberty Loan committees about
the work of selling bonds to the
women of the territory. Large
and enthusiastic greetings of wo-
men have met her at every point
Included in her itinerary are Bell
Vile, Quincy and Edwardsville,
Ill., and Kansas City, Mo.
Mrs. Funk is very positive about
the attitude of American women in
the war, eve American women"
she said, "want no compromise
with the powers that are assailing
civilization. A compromise peace
would only mean another war. We
want the present war to go to a
decisive finish, TO bring righteous
ness and peace forever to the whole
world"

WRITE YOUR BOYS
CHEERFUL LETTERS

Washington, d. c. May 6-Moth-

"The boys are all ready to go

things as they come, but it is the

ters of this sort from our mothers
and tell you it's mighty disheart-

hoped that the fire was started by an

cause, he was firmly of the belief that
it originated otherwise.
