a PATRIOTIC PRAYER

The following was sent to THE
NEWS by Miss Maggie Farrow, of
this city, with request for its pub
location as a patriotic prayer for the
success of America and the Allies in
the present world-war. 1t was accom-
panied by little poem in which the
German Kaiser is taken to task fol-
the many sins placed at his door:
"Oh, Father in Heaven, guide and
keep our lads in France, in the
trenches, in the camps, or wherever
they may be. Oh, Lord, guide them
across that deep cruel sea. Father
those who have given their lives and
have fallen on the great battlefields
of war, oh, guide their souls and help
us to meet them in a land where a
little child shall lead them. / pray
oh. Lord, for our brothers in khaki
and blue to come home MARCHING
with Outstretched hands and arms
we have won this great war for the
sake of freedom and humanity. And
oh, Lord, those who have fallen on
the field of battle, where the front is
strewn with the dead, may the flower
OF love spring from their graves and
blossom to show they have given
their lives to save us and our coun-
try. Oh, God, we are all your chill
dren; our brothers have gone to the
war. Shall we be left to perish
alone. Oh, Father, grant us our
prayer and bring our boys safely back
to u.s."
The young lady supplements her
fervent prayer by the following:
HE WHO WOULD RUIN AMERICA
K is for killing of the people;
A is for America he would like to
rule.
I is for the infants he has slain;
S is for the Sammies he cannot fool:
E is for the earth he thinks he'll
rule;
r is for right, which he'll never be. &"

THE WORLD AT WAR.

Recent developments indicate more clearly
than ever the falsity Of Germany's claim as a
bearer OF olive branches. It is patent to the most
superficial observer that the Kaisers policy with
Russia has been that of crafty cat playing with
huge but gullible mouse. Germanys camouflage
Of peace with mo annexations and no indemni-
ties" fooled the Russians to the point where their
entire defense was broken Then the kaiser
threw off the mask and is now completing the
complete ACKNOWLEDGMENT of his broken foe.
Developments in the far east portend nothing
short Of continued trouble It is conceivable that
Japan has her eye on Russian Manchuria and
would like to control Siberia. That she might
take both for the present is very likely. On the
other hand Russia will eventually organize and
fifty years ahead may see wars for the recon
quest of the richest frontier in the world
Internally Germany seems as far from break
ing as ever. Be it said in all candor that the
sustaining power Of the German people is a mar
vel. Compared to Germany's endurance our
own people seem soft and it is true that our en-
durance must be equal to hers if we are to win
Germany is bruised and hungry but she is far
from whipped.
England is not encouraged over the interna-
tional outlook especially the possible taking over
by Germany of Russas big fleet. If Germany

we may see huge naval battle within the year.
In the meantime England's strangle hold on Ger
many's food supply will be lessened. The future
is by no means bright
Austria has practically refused to fight furth-
er in Russia saying that cause for further con-
f1ict exists 1t seems that Austria is desperately
eager for peace She is wise to Prussias plan of
using her as a catspaw and her future lies be-
tween the devil of Prussian domination as part
of "Mittel- Europea" and her ACKNOWLEDGMENT by
the allies in case she hangs on and suffers defeat
with the kaiser-should this eventuate AS a
result Austria will accept any honorable peace

EDITORIAL
TWO KINDS OF THEM.

A recent issue of the Cologne Gazette, speaks
with utmost bitterness of expatriated Germans
in this country. The Gazette estimates the num-
Der OF COMMUNICATIONS in this country at
27,000,000 One third of these are of recent i'm
migration, that is probably within the last thirty
years. The balance are of older origin and COM
prise the original pioneers and their descend
ants. The Gazette finds fault with Germans in
this country who are in group called Friends
of German Democracy" Such men as Jacob
Schiff, Frank Sigel Otto Kahn Walter Dam
rOsch and other leading Americans Of German
ancestry, are laboring to convince the masses of
Germany that their salvation lies in Democracy.
The Gazette, a semi-Offcial publication, does not
like this 1t concludes by saying:
''In any case we should refrain from
placing all German-Americans in one
category. There are yet, thank Cod
two kinds of them"
It seems to us that, surprisingly enough Am
erica can heartily echo this last sentiment.
THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF THEM. Millions
of American citizens have German blood in their
veins. Millions Of them hold loyal allegiance
to no other flag than the stars and stripes. They
say Fundamentally is our dear country !;
the only country we have We love her; we will
stand by her to the DEATH
These men came here poor and have attained
wealth. They look upon their broad and smiling
acres and realize that American democracy has
given them independence and happiness. With
this type of German no loyal citizen can quarrel
We grasp their hands in fellowship realizing that
they and their children will do just as much for
our country as we would or could. They are
bonded to us and we welcome them.
To the others, those foolish men and women
who feel that other ties are stronger than their
Americanisnn-the must be answered too. They
must realize that Uncle Sam is kind but he is al
50 severe when necessary. Uncle Sam is speak
ing to the country now In thundrous tones he
paraphrases the first commandment saying
Thou Shalt Pay Allegiance To No Other Flag
Than My Flag"

COUNTY COUNCILS SHOULD ACT.

The Richland and Green County Councils Of
Defense have taken steps to prevent seditious
work in their respective bailiWichs. Green coun-
ty particularly is known as a pro-German hot
bed and the County Council over there went after
the traitors with bare hands. two column
statement put the matter squarely up to the peo-
pie and if the pro-boys don't like it they can
lump it. In the meantime any dirty work is go
ing to get what it needs. In Richland county,
the Democrat, a leading newspaper states that
similar drastic action will be taken by the Coun-
ty Council.
Grant county is, of course, loyal in the main.
Here and there are few Kaiser hotbeds and
here and there few men who are discredit to
any country. The Herald is reliably informed
that some of these men has even gone so far as
to oppose the government in making the crop
survey. School teachers in performing the pat
riotic duty requested of them have been told to
mind their own business and teach school or
they wouldn't have job Fine business-brow-
beating little school Miss. Typical pro-German
stuff, you bet.
strong statement from our County Defense
Council would put some people in their place.

BAN ON WOMEN TO STAND.
Revision of Rule Barring SOldierS
Relatives Unlikely.
Special Despatch TO THE ST,

WASHINGTON, July 16.--Revision OF
the rule which forbids women who are
wives. mothers, sisters or daughters Of
American officers or soldiers in France
from entering service on the other side
as nurses or war workers. is not in
prospect according to statements to-day
by Secretary OF War Baker. He ad-
mitted. however. that the matter is not
reopened IL conditions seem to warrant
such action.
Protests against the rule have been
fled by many war organizations
throughout the country. especially nurs-
ing associations. II Is insisted that
many competent graduate nurses. whose
services are greatly needed in the hos
pitfalls in France, are being kept on this
side because Of this rule.
Gen. Pershing several weeks ago
asked that the relatives Of officers and
soldiers be retained on this side and
said that the French and English had
experienced great trouble because OF
the presence OF feminine relatives OF
fighting men near the front.
AS matters stand now the Surgeon
General is permitted to receive from the
Red Cross only such women as are
without relatives in the army. Because
of the large number of men who have
been called into the army. fear Is enter
tanned by some that the nursing organi-
cations will be inadequate The War
Department has admitted the great need
for more nurses. but in view of Gen.
Pershing's request, has not felt like re-
voking the rule.

DRY VICTORIES IN
JERSEY SET ASIDE
Court Holds Absence of Sol
diers InUoLidates Elections.

The inalienable right of a soldier TO
say whether his home town shall or shall
not be placed in the dry column was af-
firmed yesterday by chief Justice Gum
mere. in Newark. when he set aside
the elections by which Montclair. Cald-
well Borough and East Orange had the
liquor traffic extracted from within their
municipal confines last March.
Justice Gummere ruled favorably on
the contention OF the wet" forces that
many soldiers who were away In camps
and cantonments had been deprived of
their right of suffrage because ballots
were not delivered to them. The dry
forces fought back with the argument
that the Secretary OF State OF New Jer-
sey had sent ballots to every soldier
whose name and camp he could learn.
but many Of the ballots SO sent did not
contain the name of the unit 10 which
the voter was attached and they we're
returned without having been delivered.
Justice Gummere ruled. however. that
he could see no flaw in the election in
South Orange township. which also went
dry. and 80 that community remains in
the cluster of saloonless municipalities
with which New Jersey is dotted.
Despite the ruling by Justice Gum
mere. Montclair In all probability will
continue to harbor its thirst. which has
been present since January 1. On that
date the Board OF City Commissioners
declared the town dry and refused to
renew the licenses that had been held
by eight saloon proprietors Then along
came the election and the "drys' again
won. Now the Commissioners assert
their previous action stands, whether
the election was legal or not.
