third line, while Of our small force,
only one fourth can be in the

Germany has looted eight wonder
ful lands. and enriched herself by
s30.00O.000.0oG- She has 100000 men
at the front. Great Britain is down to

Fail Back On Morality.
1T is a time when men who never 4
uttered a prayer must think on the I
facts prayerfuly and solemnly. Ply
sically speaking. we have no right 10 I
win in the next three weeks. Phys
ically speaking, we should be beaten
But what we have to fan back on is
this. that we live n a moral universe.
We did not believe that the noise Of
the factory would be succeeded by the
shrieking Of the lyddite shell, that the
industrial arts would be succeeded by
the art Of killing our tellowmen- We
have 20 fall back on what Herbert
Spencer says, that there is a power
that makes for righteousness.
Must And VIII Win.
IF we did not believe in this it
win But Washington. in the reVOlu-
ton, and our fathers in 1912 won
against a tremendously rich nation,
and, outnumbered as we are because
of the fact that the Germans are not
bound by the Ten Commandment orI
the articles Of war we must win and
viii win because we 1--we in a moral
universe and victories are not won by
the sword but by the soul and the
spirit Ultimately, we are going TO go
through the Germans like a red hot
cannot ball through a bale Of rotten
hay, but that is an ultimate thing.
