Chew Your vietua,s.
From the Idaho Statesms

From the Idaho Statesman.
VII somebody please page Mr.. Fletcher?
Horace Fletcher Is the man wanted In this
crisis while whole nations are trying to
make one loaf last as long as four lasted
prior to the war. Fletcher is the man who.
3 few years ago. tried to tell us that by
chewing every morsel OF food for q GER
tain number of chews we could make an
ordinary breakfast board a man for q
week. Today there is an enormous de-
mand Tor food to be chewed but many ma
lions have little to chew. Tho United
states and her allies could save two-thirds
u their shipping space now used fo-
wheat II Mr.. Fletcher could make his
theory take the place Of food. And how
Herbert Hoover would welcome this man
Fletcher who preached the gospel that
chewing could make ne pound Of wheat
or bread do the work OF three Or four
Oouukis.

A Turkish


In December. 1856, when Tcherkesoff was in Constantinople. he
had a long talk with Hassan Fehmi Pasha, minister of justice, who
introduced the jury system into the land Of the sultan.
lie pointed out to me then that the day was approaching when
Turkey must leave Europe. He detected two great historical move
ments-the movement of peoples toward democracy and the move
ment OF nations toward independence. Then he made a remarkable
statement. He said that the American missionaries such as Cv,us
Imh and his followers, had won the confidence and love Of the
Turks. klsmet had dccreed that the Turk must leave Europe. But
who would supplant him on the hills above the Golden Horn? What
Christian power should fall heir to the mosque of Sancta SophiaY
Ihere was moi one European power that Turkey could trust. But the
Turk would be glad it America would send her ships and statesman
here to guarantee the neutrality of the Dardanelles and make
Constantinople an independent city.
It is unlikely that America will ever assume the responsibility
OF sitting on the powder key, while other nations sit around and
smoke; but what the gentle anarchist was trying to make clear is
that the square, deal and the principle that Ssall men are created free
and equal Will come INTO It's own, even in the lands of the car end

The Pruss;an Must Pay.
Louis II. GRAY. in scribner,s Magazine.

Conceived i'm greed and born in crime, nurtured IN cruelty and
grown great i'm robbery. this hideous and incongruous hybrid of
Roman and German, OF sIav and Mongol, has flourished like the green
and fear, whereby it thought to rule the world, is become it's nemesis.
The Prussian has sinned, deliberately, consciously, and scientifically.
His sin has brought him worldly gain, and were it not for fear he
would be we'll content. But sin is bought for a price, and that price
is moral death-it is damnation both III this world and in the world to
come, unless there be true repentance and all possible reparation.
For worldly gain the Prnssian has stunted his own soul.
From the wider point of view this war is but an episode i'm the
age long struggle between good and evil, between God ard the devil
The end was foresecn almost 5000 years ago by the see on lonely
Patmos. BY reason of our human limitations w must battle with
earthly weapons against the hosts of evil, and must labor for our
salvation. 1t is meet and right so to do, else we could scarce retain
our self respect; but the cross of Saint George, floating over the
Holy City, redeemed at last from the unbeliever, is to u a sign and a
symbol of what shall soon come to pass, if only we be constant AND
perform VI share OF the divine covenant. Sursum corda-
Goods in His heaven,
