Americas Faith

A little over a year ago, when America had not fully buckled
down to the job of defeating Germany, there was in this country a
certain impersonal attitude toward the Hun, the attitude men take
toward a burglar whom conviction has brought face to face with
punishment. 1t was not SO much the Hun himself that aroused us,
but rather his kulturs breaking in, like a thief of the night, upon
the peace of a world.
And now, as America s part in the great struggle grows, our at
ttude shifts. 1t turns less impersonal; the Hun ceases to be a
symbol of evil, becoming instead evil itself.
Yet America must not wholly forget that, after all, it was an
idea, a view, or interpretation, of the worth whites of life, that
plunged the world into the present vortex. But for the nineteenth
centurys development of material energies and the material sub
stance of raw resources, this war never would have occurred. A
war might have occurred, but it would have been ON the small scale
of previous national conflicts. 1t was because of a century's world
wide creation of wealth, wealth claiming mems very souls, that the
superstruggle came.
Germany in the development of material wealth and the desire
for an increased development thereof failed to preserve that spiritu-
atty which alone can interpret wealth, set it in bounds, understand
its uses and its limits. Germany, we must remember, was and is
the offender. But we must not forget that the same sore of material
wealth had been eating an insidlous way into all the nations, Amer
lea included.
We of America seemingly had defed wealth, had made its ere
alton and progress synonymous. Seemingly we had deserted the old
standard of the perfect soul for the new standard of the full pocket
book. Yet through it all somehow we had preserved the faith that
quantity was of Importance only as it served the ends of quality.
That this, after all, proved to have been our faith has surprised an
entire world. We, in fact, not Germany, were believed in July, 1914,
to be the chief worshipers in the temple of materaism.
America now must keep her faith burning. She must know that
the killing of the Hun is but a means to an end. She must have faith
that it is her destiny to establish the doctrine that the creation of
wealth is good only in as far as it furthers the perfection of mans
free soul.
After the military victory is won and the nations of the world
gather about the peace table, these thoughts must be clear as crystal.
At that table America must see to it that the shackles of iron, literal
iron, be loosed from the souls of men and nations. And let today S
faith and desire be that the furnace Of Americas present trial will
loose the last rivet in the shackles that we're tightening about her
own soul. Let her go to the peace table with hands wholly clean.

The Band of Mothers

"There is no more splendid figure in American life today than a
mother who has sent forth her son to the battlefield to fight for
human rights, - says the Evening Herald Of Fall River, Mass.
. And so we admire and look up to the War Mothers
of America today and do them homage. 1t is they who have given
the army that has taken the field to fight for home and country. Nor
should they be permitted to merge with the general stream sweeping
down through the ages unnoticed and forgotten after the fight has
been won and peace has been declared.
''The organization of War Mothers of America, - continues the
Herald, means much to the country and to the cause for which we
are fighting. Such an organization, we believe, would mean much
to the mothers themselves who have sent their sons to war. 1t would
give them a better opportunity to coordinate their war work, to
meet and talk with those who best understand and to helm mothers
who may need assistance while their sons are in the service. Surely
there could be no band of nobler women, none more deserving of
honor, love and encouragement"

President Wilson is Right

The President is absolutely right in advising Congress to take
plenty of time for enacting a new war tax devoid of the inequties of
the present legislation, and his plan to take the additional funds out
of incomes, war profits and luxuries win have the solid endorsement
of the country.
Every patriotic American is with the President in his view that
the people will bear any tax burden necessary, provided that the
same are justly laid. The first peeling has hardly been taken off the
abnormal incomes, war profteering and luxuries. The willingness of
the common folks to serve and sacrifice has been demonstrated in
the Liberty Loan and Red Cross campaigns. The President makes
= bulseye when he declares that 'the p~rofteering that cannot be
got at by the restraints Of conscience and love of country can be got
at by taxation" Sound, sensible and just as to his general policy of
war taxation, President Wilson viii undoubtedly do his mightiest to
give the nation revenue legislation equitable and just in its parti-
enlaFs.

Today We Celebrate
Swiss Independence Day.

Entirely surrounded as they are by
warning powers, the Swiss have yet
hanged to preserve their independ-
ence and their neutrality. and in cele-
brating today their national fete they
have reason to be thankful. While
other small nations have been
trampled pon by their powerful
n~eighbors, Switzerland, the Oldest of
the worlds real republics, remains un-
disturbed. at least from a military
standpoint. The Independence which
the Swiss celebrate today dates from
1891. and has been defended time and
again by the brave ons OF the Alps.
Although the land OF William Tell has
no standing army, every a~ble-bodied
male citizen Is q soldier in time of
need, n may be called upon for ac-
tive service at q moments notice. The
efficiency of his organization was
demonstrated at the outbreak of the
war, when 300, 900 citizen-soldiers or
Switzerland were modified on her
borders within forty-eight hours.
Every boy in Switzerland is subject
ed to a long and rigorous course of
training designed to fit him to fulfill
his military duties to his country. Com
mencing at the age of eight, the drills
Increase in rigor until at the age OF
sixteen the Swiss boy is in hard train
ing. The war department of the re-
pubic exercises u general supervision
over this department Of education, and
the directions for the exercises and
drills are sent out by the army general
STAFF. In consequence OF this Spartan
feature of Swiss education, there are
few women teachers. The building of
a sound physique is the principal aim
of the Swiss teacher of children, and
mental education is subordinated to
physical until the child has reached
his teens. A great majority OF the
teachers OF the mountain republic
are also officers of the citizen army.
AS the boys approach manhood they
are placed In the cadet corps, where
they receive instruction in all the du-
ties OF a soldier. Rife practice Is a
prominent feature of this phase OF the
training. and. as a result, nearly every
son of Switzerland is a crack shot.
Military courses are given every sun
day in all the cantons for youths be-
tween sixteen and twenty. From
twenty TO twenty-eight every able
bodied male citizen must give thirteen
days a ear to military drill.
