GOING FORWARD WITH GOD.

Forward with Godn' says the kai-
ser of Germany to the kaiser of Aus

and the mutilation of children. For
ward with God!" to the downfall Of
civilization and the enslavement OF
humanity. Who is this God who is
thus associated with deeds of cruelty
unparalleled in the worlds history,
deeds beyond the power of magma
tion or execution of any other race Of
any other time? Is it the God whom
we have worshiped, and whom We
now worship? Is it the God to whom
the nation offered up its prayers last
Sunday? Is II possible that this new
and superior Attila is indeed 'the
scourge of Cod our God?
No. it is not possible. We do not
know this God. Our God is not God
OF cruelty, but of tenderness; not a
God of sayagery, but of humanity;
not God of destruction, blu. of con-
struction. And we, too have our
visions of a people created for a pur-
pose, created by him and led by him.
Emerson has been recently quoted as
saying that America is Gods last
chance to save the world" Is that So?
Hardly, for il puts limitation upon
Gods powers, and makes them sub
ject to the element Of chance. If
America is somehow to save, the
world, it is not by chance, but by di-
Tection. Thee is divinity that
shapes our ends, rough hew them
how we WILL and we cannot believe
that shaping power is limited or may
be frustrated by circumstances.

strange, are superior to chance and

MAKE GERMANS PAY. +
In Considering German Peace Offers
It is Necessary to Hold Them
Down to Principle.

1t is a fundamental principal Of
life that people ought to pay for the
damage they do. If this penalty is
not exacted upon them, it encourag-
es them to go on and commit other
outrages.
Hence in considering German peace
offers, it Is absolutely necessary 70
hold them down to the principle Of
compensation for the damage they
have done. They have ruthlessly
and brutality laid waste and sacked
the fair cities and fields of France,
Belgium, Serbia, Roumania and Po-
land. They gained no military adj
vantage thereby They wilfully broke
the laws of war in doing it. Their
only purpose was to try and bull
doze the world into submission by
making themselves as frightful and
beastly as possible.
The trouble with the Germans is
that up to now they have always
made war a paying business pro-
position. Make war pay for war, has
been their motto. BY jumping out
on nations treacherously and un-
awares, they always expected tc
makes war on the soil of their foes,
so that the Germans home country
cbould navar cuStain any damage
Then they expect the costs of war to
be made UP by the levying of in
IDENTITIES, and by stealing of valu-
able territory. They made the war
of 1870 with France pay by crush
ing indemnity, and by stealing the
enormously valuable iron mines and
other resources of Alsace-Lorraine.
Now If we insist that Germany
pay the damages she has done, IL
will get it through the thick and
bony heads of the Huns that the time
when war could be made to pay as
national industry has gone by. The
damages she has committed in the
way of wicked destruction of life,
shel can never pay for in cash,
though she will pay for them in the
hatred of mankind she has excited.
But at least she must pay her ply
steal damage bills, or We have lost
the war.

British Interest
In the Problem

While this idea and suggestion at
first sight may seem radical, it is inter
esting to note that the entire geld pro-
ducing industry Of the British Empire
catied a meeting for this identical pur-
pose on July and appointed a com
mlttee of six to Immediately bring this
situation to the attention OF the British
government.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned, the first and immediate neces-
sity is legislation which will permit the
continuation of the present gold mining
industry.
This can be accomplished temporarily
by establishing an adequate bonus suf-
ficient to Offset the increased cost OF
labor and materials as against pre-war
conditions.
Second: The formation of an inter
national commission to act jointly with
the committee now formed in London,
and proper representatives. of the gov
ernments for the purpose of reestab-
hshing proper fixed price for gold
commensurate with present conditions,
and
The enactment of such legislation as
will protect all paper issues which
have been made on the present gold
basis, and the taking of such steps as
are necessary to see that the interna-
national gold asset controlled by the
Allies Is made proper use of in
order to place the Central Powers
on parity with US so far as
the cost of producing material is
concerned, in this way preventing them
from drawing out the gold supply of
the Allies through neutral or other
channels by selling materials in the
world markets at a lower gold cost.
1t is to be hoped this discussion, along
with general consideration on this
subject, may lead 70 immediate tangible
legislation necessary to protect the
present operative gold mining industry
of the Allied countries and take full
advantage of the control of this metal
by the Allies, in dealing with the credit
structure of the Central Powers.
Given the knowledge and the fact
that the United States and her allies
actually control 30 per cent of the gold
and gold producing areas of the world,
the questions arise:
First: Why should we continue 70
pay for supplies purchased from neu-
trails in gold at less than actual cost Of
production.
Second: Should not the United States
and her Allies Immediately recognize
this great international asset and take
all necessary steps to prevent Germany
and the Central Powers from entering
the world markets. thereby draining
their gold to preserve the very paper
credit structure developed for the pur-
pose of carrying on war against US?
Third: Why should the gold mining
industry, as established be perforce
compelled to sell its product at price
less than that which it is actually
worth
