AMAZING DAYS

We are now living in the most Won
derful period of the war. For almost
four years despair hung as cloud
over the world; now the days are
growing brighter and brighter. En-
envy empires are crumbling; autoc-
racies are being rent asunder Great
armies are striking the foe on the
right and on the left, and soon he will
be driven to mis- own lair to pay dearly
for his crimes. The Holy Land has
been wrested from the terrible Turk,
the ensIaved Roumanians are begin
ming to see brighter days, the Serbians
are obtaining control of their lost
lands, and the outraged Belgians are
at the door of victory at last. The
submarine is no longer such a men
ace, the Zeppelins are gone, German
propaganda is almost stilled, and the
control of the air by the allies is
virtually accomplished. Indeed these
are wonderful days, bright, promising
and hopeful.

NOT YESTERDAY OR TONIOR-
ROW
ROW

Today is ours. Yesterday is gone
forever, to be recalled only in mem
DRY. Our acts of yesterday cannot
be undone. We may do all we can TO
repair a wrong or a mistake, but while
something may be done, an indelible
scar is left. 1t is marked on our own
hearts and on the hearts Of others.
It is stored up somewhere. Nature
records every act, every thought. We
throw a pebble in the pool and the
wavelets spread to the farthest shore.
We say a word or do deed, we
know not where it goes. or what OF
who is affected by it.
The endeavor to be good is of more
Importance than the attempt to do
gooo. One wise man has said the IN.
intentional good We do is greater
than that which we knowingly do. Be-
ing good has wider influence and goes
ID more unimagined places than good
purposely done. Sometimes bread
cast upon the waters comes back. But
often it goes we know not where"
The result of our act is there, whether
we know it or not.
Real goodness is done without wish
Or thought of reward or of gaining
praise Or gratitude. Let us not pass
by an opportunity for doing a kind
ness. Tomorrow the opportunity may
not be there. One evening an old
man came to the door of a family liv-
ing mile or two from village. He
said he was sick and could not go on,
and asked for shelter and food. lie
was told that as he had come so far,
he could go little farther The do >
was closed upon him. Next morn
ing he was found dead at the gate.
Let. us do the kind deed that we
can. Let us do our part, whatever it
may be- Let us do it today. Tomor-
row is not ours. Today is all the tir1e
we have for being and doing our best.

STUPID GERMANY

By way of Amsterdam there filters
through the cable the news that ex-
cited crowds went into a riot of de
light in the streets of Berlin over
Prince Maximilian's request that we
quit fighting where we are, and the
crowds cried peace has come. Peace
has come"
Well, peace has not come. How
stupid Germany is. She is a dull pu-
pill. She is sluggish minded-slow to
learn
Germany has not only proven her
claim to being the biggest criminal
the world has. ever known, but now
we are finding out she is the biggest
humbug Her propagandists and her
professors have, with some measure
of success in the past, made some of
the American people really believe
that we had to go to Germany to find
the master minds and the super intel
lects But, alas, Germany is a false
alarm.
Germany shows no brilliancy of
mind, nothing more than pitiable stu
pidity, if she thinks that she can go
out and for four long years raise hell
itself and then have itnall pass and be
forgotten at her mere asking. This
is no evidence of brilliancy. 1t is moth
ing but an exhibition of simple-mind-
edness.
Germany actually thinks she can
burn and devastate, ruin and rape,
murder, steal, ,falsify and frighten
without stint and without limit ar d
then, when she is weary of it, throw
up hand and call ''kamerad" and quit

Instead of being the most brilliant

GETTING WHAT SHE WANTED

Germany wanted war and now she
is getting it. From the North sea to
the snowy Alps her lines are broken,
her armies are disorganized, her guns
are being silenced. Discouragement
sits on her banners and soon they will
be trailing in the dust. Germany
sowed the wind and is now reaping
the whirlwind. The realization she
has made a colossal failure is dawn
ing and for her the shadows are rap
idly frightening. Into the valley of
oblivion her most barbarous system
must soon pass.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE
KAISER
KAISER

Plenty of people want to shoot the
kaiser And they are merciful, too. and
respectful. Instead of hanging him
like dog, they are willing to court
martial him and shoot him. But he
would be dead, killed by his enemies.
And remember Charles the First.
Charles the First tried to destroy
the liberties of England; and the Eng
Iish killed him; and then, in his grave,
he founded a political party; and he
got into the English church ritual as
charles, king and martyr" Almost
every executed monarch has founded
a political party, thriving on his mar
tyrdom." We want no unnecessary
and avoidable sentimentality about
Hohenzollerns in Germany. We want
to make Germany sick of Hohenzol-
lerns.
Besides, it is not a. matter merely
of Hohenzollerns 1t is not a matter
merely Of one man or Of one family.
It is a matter of whole great class
within the German people, This class,
led by Bismarck, took an unimagina-
tive king of Prussia and taught him
to rule without his parliament and
Unanswered him into wars with Den
mark and Austria and France and
carried him to Paris on the back of
his chancellor and on the back of his
general staff and put him on a throne
in the palace at Versailles and called
him German emperor and created
German imperialism in their own
image. This class did it; and this
class still exists; and it rejoicingly
and masterfully composes the struc-
ture and provides the steam for the
hideous engine Of which the kaiser is
the lever puller. In justice, if we
executed the kaiser, we should have
to execute the whole class-which is
impossible.
Our task is not to execute anybody,
except certain commanders who have
been guilty of deliberate devilish
atrocities. Our task is to bring the
Germans to the point of themselves
spewing forth all Hohenzollerns and
all junkers and all other such people
out of their system: We should foil
ourselves if we tried, by executions
or the like, to perform an abdominal
political operation on the body Of Ger
many. Our task is to give Germany
an emetic.
And, as we read the news, we may
congratulate ourselves that we are
getting to be we'll on our way toward
doing it, And it is going to be quite
sufficiently painful to the patient

LAvALLE ADOPTS
FIVE CHILDREN

The village Of LaValle has adopted
five fatherless children of France and
the citizens feel quite proud of the
undertaking. The children have been
adopted by the Catholic church, the
Advent church, the German Luthern
church, Bible school and Modern
Woodmen of America. A letter in
this issue from son of Mr. and Mrs.
H. E. Paddock of La Vale tells of the
dire distress felt in that war stricken
land. The poverty of the French
people is one which attracts the pity
of the entire world except the merci-

Important to Mothers
Prices of Monkeys Soaring.

Who would think that the European
war would have anything to do with
the price of monkeys? Well, it does,
and great deal, too, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The price of monkeys
has gone up with food. paper, shoes,
etc, to the despair of the pathologist
and TO the sorrow of the hurdy-gurdy
man. The causes for the sudden cor
ner in monkeys are the closing of the
worlds principal wild animal market
at Hamburg, Germany. and the lack of
shipping facilities. Not long ago the
pathologists of the national public
health service at Washington wanted
q dozen South American monkeys for
experimental purposes. They appealed
to every wild animal dealer in this
country, to the ZOOS, and to the sailors
in port, and finally purchased six at
S1S each.
