Help for Germany.
(Biddeforu JournaD

Jcui HdIp
If thine enemy hunger, feed him; If he
thirst give him drink; for in so doug
thou shalt heap Goals of fire on his
head.-Romans, 1920.
At the one extreme among the
American people are those who would
make every possible sacrifice rather
than allow single German to suffer
the pangs of hunger: at the other are
those who, ii they could have their
way, would not assist the Germans in
obtaining a mouthful of food, even if
by so doing women and children
could be saved from starvation. For
tunately for the reputation Of hu-
manity as whole, between those two
extremes there are those, in numbers
exceeding either or both of the class
es specified, we believe, who contend
that Germany ought to be fed, not SO
much for her own sake perhaps as
because such action takes on the
form of self protection on the part of
the nations arrayed against her when
her ambitions exceeded reasonable
bounds. 1t may be admitted that it
has been shown in the sequel that
President Wilson made big mistake
when he drew the line so sharply be-
tween the German government and
the German people, but even so, there
is no reason why that mistake should
now be considered a factor in the
problem. TO draw line between the
people and the government when
making war is one thing: to maintain,
that line when making and maintain
ing peace is another. The Good Book
eXhorts us to feed our hungry en-
envy, but it says nothing about what
should be done in the case of a starv-
ing former enemy. 1t takes that for
granted, assuming that simple hui
nanity would rise to the occasion.

The Feller Called Me

Better get mad with the Teller called Me
Than with anyone else on earth.
He's so blind sometimes that he cannot see
The gifts that were his at birth.
He stumbles and triAes and goes astray
Instead of just going right on
Up the straight and narrow and truthset way
To the golden gardens of dawn.
Better get wise to the Teller called Me
The first thing that you do;
1t will help you so much in the day to be
To put what you want to through.
Study him over and take his size,
And probe him clear down to the
deeps.
And learn by his ears and his nose and eyes
What bad in his nature sleeps.
Better PICK quarrels with the Teller called Me
Than with anyone else you know;
Ponder him over from A to z,
And watch him wherever you go.
For every weakness you find and cure
Will be something to set you ahead
In the path that is straight and fine and sure
That your soul is destined to tread.
-Folger Mckenzie, in the Baltimore Sun.
