Reorganization. A.
Inst before the advance began Sun

with Z ball improvised from cloth
and string in a field near the front
line east of Verdun. From 4 nearby
dugout ! German who had been left
behind to assist in turning over some
material approached and. called IN

The doughboys laughed and tossed
the bali across>a few times. The
German said he lived in Milwaukee
for ten years.
!, In some places the Americans re-
fused to fraternize with; the Ger.
mans, but in Others they talked
across the lines and traded tobacco
and bread for buttons and other SOU
venirs.
Y In some instances.t the Germans
traded off all their ammunition and
arms, saying they had no further use
for them.
With the American Army north
east Of Verdun, Monday, Nov. 48.-
German officers who met the Ameri-
can 46rcesat Bouligny today were
eager to hear about the latest de-
Eyelopments in Germany. They say
that news has been kept from them
and that for days prior to the sign
ing Of the armistice they had heard
no details of what was going on.
The Germans were not short OF
ammunition on this sector. The road
from Etain to Conflans is lined on
both sides at places with ammunition
Of all kinds. At St. Jean, Olley and
other villages along the road are
many new buildings, some of which
were not completed when the news
OF the armistice arrived. The work
ers quit at once, leaving their tools
behind them. Along the road there
were artillery repair shops,a camou-
flage factory and shops for the re-
pair and manufacture Of airplanes.
The villages along the Etain and
Conflans Road are apparently de-
serted of French people. None ap-
peared in village after village as
American troops passed through

WITH HIS OWN PETARD

The kaiser has hoisted himself with
his own petard. He called this holy
war to get the Turk to play on his
side, but with the rest of the Mo-
hammedans around the world he has
defeated his own purpose. When his
guns shattered the Cathedral of
Rheims his holy war met its Waterloo.

Amiens the Mohammedan world is
finding him too much a vandal for
their stomach.
An English bishop from Cawnpur,
India, says that the Mohammedans
there remember how the English, out
of Difference to the Mohammedans'
religion. turned the course of a new
street around a mosque that lay in
its path They contrast this incident
with the present and past treatment
of places of worship by the German
and find the balance of favor well on
the side of the English to the extent of
refusing to join their brother core
ligionists in war and of going out to
fight under British officers.

THE CHURCH IN THE WAR

While everyone has been so busy
in this war, and war work, the church
has not been a laggard. 1t has taken
of its coat and rolled up its sleeves
and has gone to work with the busiest
of people. 1t has donated to the Red
Cross, bought Liberty Bonds, formed
into chapters for war work; its rep
resentatives have toiled with Hoover
in preaching kitchen wisdom and sac
rifice. Many of the churches in
Washington have opened their doors
for special Government work. The
Foreign Mission Society has given in
structions in work to be done at can
tonments. and in the care of war
orphans in France and other foreign
fields.
The church, too, is seeing how it
can better reach its people, for the
war is teaching the lesson through the
Y. W. c. A and the Y. NJ. c. A. It
is seeing how the people can be reach
ed by ministering TO the material
wants, as well as to the spiritual
wants These organizations are in
their everyday acts preaching the re-
liglOn of Christ, even more than the |
church has been able to do, and the !
ministers of the churches see this, |
and are anxious to get into the serv-
ice of the Y. NJ. c. A Because of |
these organizations. and of other
things that we are learning from the
war. there will be better church in
the future. a church that will be more
able to obtain and hold on the people

SUCCESS

The measuring stick of success is
not possessed by all Many mer
achieve a success which is not Sc
called by the world at large. The
mans use and value are recognized
but the public is too prone to measure
success by material results and by
results proportionally larger than
those of other men.
This is wrong. Many an humble
man is as successful as is Woodrow
Wilson, the man who is leading ma
tion and, through that nation, the
world, to right thinking and right
living
AS one wonderful woman has said:
Il think success is another name for
work; it is not a definite thing to be
it is the doing of anything

THE NEW DEATH

We have a new death-a new way
of looking at that ancient enemy of
the individual and benefactOr of the
race, In days gone by we have treat
ed it as a grim spectre, as indecOrous
food for thought or conversation. We
have had the old Hebrew adherence
of it-they looked down on it as a
deffement We have treated the
bereaved one as a person apart and
taken him back to us only after his
sorrowing was over.
But the new death has come and
brought change with it. The war has
brought it to nearly all of us in some
way-its real grip or its shadow-it
has become common property and
drawn us together for consolation. In
our grief we face it squarely now, in
the light of the ideals with which our
men who have gone over to face it.
The new death is the attitude, the
spirit, with which "the shining best"
of each land have gone to face death
The new death has brought up i'm
mortality again as an issue We have
found we have a soul that suffers
and that we must have faith in life
after death if we are to have surcease
from the maddening grief at the pres
ent separation.
