TO STOP MAD ACTS
OF KAISER: BUY BONDS
Rev. ]. B. Reardon Told the People How
They Can Do Something to Elm
mate the Menace of German
Imperialism.

Likening the kaiser to the mad farmer
who burned his fields of wheat planted
thistles and poisoned the water which
his own cattle drank, Rev. J. b. Reardon
at the Universalist church yesterday
morning made a strong appeal for in
vestment of Liberty bonds to prevent
the mad acts of the kaiser from getting
further foothold in other countries of
the world. The sermon preached from
the text Knit Together as One Man
tJoshua 20:lD. was scathing denun-
citation of German militarism and was
listened to with marked interest. The
speaker said:
The query often arises in these days
of trouble and strife, why has war sur
vived so long into the age of humanity,
brotherhood and enlightenment? We
are participating in the bloodiest con-
fiict of all history; and we are moved by
the tears of widows, aud the slaughter
of babes. as well as by the great waste
in men and treasure, TO feel that it is all
illogical. brutal. out of date. What can
be the motive that underlies it
Some have answered by saying it Is
reversal TO savagery; but that seems in
adequate: some have said it is based on
a false philosophy-tha might makes
right and that force is the only convinc-
ing argument for nations to use. No
doubt such q philosophy accompanies
the phenomena which we now see; but
il is not widespread and exclusive enough
TO lead whole nations into war; and may
rather be an excuse for war than rea-
son for it, Some have repeated the old
declaration "all wars are trade wars.
and have tried TO show that the COM
mereial rivalry and the greed OF men are
at the bottom of the irreconciliable ann
billions which lead to war But the trade
of to-day is too scientific, too well backed
bv economic investigations To believe
this for its own sake. The man OF conf
merce knows that the destruction of war
is impoverishing to all concerned, and
hates it,
The real motive that underlies war,
and makes il stronger than all the feel
ings of humanity, stronger than the cooi
reason of men, j. that il calls out, as no
other human enterprise has ever vet been

for the symmetry of its wings which
formed the court in the center of

He studied the windows, picturing
Katherine alone, surrounded by the
complications of this unexpected
tragedy.
His feeling of an inimical watch
fitness persisted. A clicking sound
swung him back to the house. The
front door had been opened, and in
the black frame of the doorway, as
he looked, Katherine and Graham
appeared, and he knew the resolu-
ton of his last doubt was at hand.
Katherine had thrown a cloak

face, while it had lost nothing OF
its beauty, projected even at this

anxiety, of utter fear.
