Tomorrow and Today
Ihn A. Sleicher. in Leslie's.

John A. Sleicher, in. Leslie S.. We hear a good deal about the world of tomorrow, about "a new social or der,' and a revolution that will level all distinctions and equalize all prop erty rights.
 Dreams, idle dreams, the same dreams that we have been having ever since the dawn of creation, and that we shall have as long as man con tinues to be little lower than the angels.
 The age of miracles has passed. Per- lection does not exist outside of Para disc. Equality is impossible as long 1 in muscle and some with more gray | matter than muscular tissue. The cream will rise to the top. l The world is round, but it is uneven. It has it's hills and dales, its valleys
 and its mountains. it's seas and it des-
 erts. Man. with inequalities. like the world he inhabits is created only as
 far as his soul is concerned in Gods 1 image.
 Tn all other respects each man diff
 fers from another, according to heredity land environment He is what his ann bition. his will, and purpose make him A benefcient Creator provided for va lriety in all things. Trees differ 1T
 height and foliage, flowers differ in col
 or and perfume, and some men are
 born leaders and others born to be led | This is the law of God. No law o1 | man will change conditions created by the Infinite The dreamers. the fad l dists. the self-constituted, reformers
 and the uplifters (chiefly concerned il uplifting themselves) will have plent,
 to do to attend to the world of today
 and leave the world of tomorrow fol future generatins.
 l The world of today has it's problem.
 and its cares, it's hopes and fears. The,
 are all precisely like those men hav'
 had from the days when the greates of all teachers stood on the shores O lGalilee and taught the gospel of re spect for constituted authority and re lgard for the feelings of His fellow men In single instance, when 1t wal sought to confound Him, He directed His disciples to Render unto Caesal the things which are Caesars and untt God the things that are Gods" ! golden rule for the mischief maker of today to bear in mind
 It is too bad that the dreamers wh' would reconstruct the world, recreat ] man and re-endow woman, do not pa. a little more attention to the Grea Teacher and the sublime wisdom H \ taught. When He climbed Gethsemane
 He bore cross not His own. but tha lof a suffering world.
 < The world will always suffer, unti lit listens to His voice needs His coun
 gel and follows in His footsteps.

ADMIRAL SIMS SPEAKS

Admiral Sims, a popular figure here. took occasion to deliver mild lecture to the American press for it's so-called misstatements about the submarine sit uation, for it's assumption, as he called it, that the American navy was doing the bulk of the business over here. He said that there are about 5000 anti-sub- marine craft operating day and night and American craft number 160, or per cent.
 The Germans are able to keep out in active hostile operations not more than 12 or 13 submarines at one time. When we came into the war the enemy was destroying nearly 100000 tons of ship ping per month Now the average is about fourth reduced. due to the convoy system. The English-speaking union is following. perhaps leading. t.e fashion of fostering amicable unders,ariu- ing with all branches of the Anglo Saxon race. Its headquarters are to be both London and Washington and it's di- recting officials are both English and Americans.
 The luncheon given to magazine and periodical editors and writers who are or their return to America and to the second company of newspaper editors, was the feature of the week. It was held at Times Printing House Square, and was attended by many distinguished Britons Lord Northcliffe presided and made felicitous address to the Amer jeans, which was eloquently responed to by F. P. Glass, American chairman,
 The King has invited the editors of both groups to visit him at Sandring- ham tomorrow. At night the second partly will leave to see the grand fleet. The British press notwithstanding lim- tied space, is paying great attention to the presence of the American editors.

 Aiiled successes and obvious decline of Serlnan military power have caused much speculation as to the probable carry ending of the war, but military experts, newspapers and public men unite m warning against any such notion.
 Carry on'' is the cry to the end. Feed the guns is the slogan for the loan campaign now under way throughout the empire. Germany is not beaten until she IS beaten and the supreme effort is yet to be made
 England is frankly making systematic endeavor to cultivate American good will. Appreciation of Americas services Tn the war and acknowledgment of their indispensable nature are common on every hand That is the idea behind the official invitation to the American edi- tors to come and see for themselves what Great Britain and her allies are doing. It was the motive for the great meeting held Thursday, when Viscount Grey, former foreign secretary, support ed the plan for the league of free na- tions His speech was largely dis cussion of President Wilson's views on that subject and indorsement thereof Peace said Earl Grey lis in sight. but not within reach. President Will sons reply to Germany seems both firm and wise. We want to know where is the seat of real power in Germany. A league or nations cannot be a substitute for successful termination of the war It must arise out of such termination. league of nations could arrange for international force to exercise pressure when necessary on a wrongd doer; it could give greater weight to international conferences The only approach to com pensaton for all loss and suffering caused by the war is that the inter national relations of the world should l.a wNfn I. .fr1t. ,.1,. -@.. was possible before.'
 These declarations are doubtless ex- pressiye of British sentiment In the main the address by MT. Balfour yes terday before the English speaking union which the American editors attended had much the same general thought with the usual warning against san- guine expectations of early end. but re- ferred also to the fact that victory is within

lave been fully recorded but the. grow ing frequency of attacks on German aerodromes have received much less at- tention. From information obtained from the war ministry 1t is learned that in the month of August alone there were 8 attacks on German aerodromes, 19 of which were directed against two of them which had become particularly ob- noxious as hives of aerial wasps.
 In one daylight raid on an aerodrome lA fierce combat lasted over 70 minutes as a result of which four German ma chimes were destroyed and three others driven down "out of control.' Two Brit. ish machines were lost.
 Many of the night raids have been very effective. Over one aerodrome five tons of bombs were dropped, seven direct hits on hangars were made and a fire was started On another raid eight tons k of bombs were dropped and several han Gars completely burned out. and the aerodrome covered with largo holes which effectually spoiled it for landing purposes.
 The effect of these attacks is to crip. pie the efficiency of the Germans az gressve work and their power of retalia tion and demoralze their personnel Their recuperative powers are-row at a low ehb.

we'll and feel fine in the morning and able to do my work. l gladly recom- mend Lydia E. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound to make weak nerves strong. "- Mrs. ALBERT SuLTzE, sos Olmstead St., Winona, Minn.
 How often do we hear the expression among women, ''I am so nervous, can not sleep" or "it seems as though should fly" Such women should profit by Mrs. Sultze's experience and give this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, a trial.
 For forty years it has been overcom- ing such serious conditions as dispiaca- ments, inflammation, ulceration, irreg- ularities, periodic pains, backache, diz- ziness, and nervous prostration of women, and is now considered the stan- dard remedy for such ailments.
