Lite'S Problems
Are Discussed

Militarism is dead. The day of
the fightingman is over. In the era
of peace upon which we are about
to enter there will be neither wars
nor rumors of war, Let us hope
so.
But what is going to take the
place of the soldier in the heart of
woman?
She worships the matinee hero,
the popular clergyman, the football
star, the frock-coated, eminently
correct diplomat; she stands some
what in awe of the big banker or
| business executives; she likes to be
seen with the literary or artistic
| lion, the noted explorer or eminent
man of science. and she has soft
spot in her heart for the out-and-
| out scamp.
But none of them-not the great
| est statesman or actor or daredevil
or polished courtier, not even q dar-
| ing and resourceful Raffies-can
give her the same thrill as does the
! lad in khaki.
And this is true, be she old or
young, plain or pretty, Maud Null
We're de We're.
For the soldier symbolizes to her
all those elements which stand for
neutrality-suspicious., tenderness,
the intrepid facing of dangr, even
death, for her sake.
The lack of soldierly quality is
the one thing no woman can forgive;
the possession of it in her eyes COW
ers a multitude of sins. The slack
er to her is tainted through and
through with evil the man who
stands eager and ready to do his bit,
no matter what his other faults,
must have a leaven of good in him
which in time will ennoble his whole
character. And perhaps she is not
far wrong.
This has been throught home to
me by two letters / have recently
received-one breathing the most ut
ter detestation and loathing, the
other glowing with ardent admira-
tion.
The first is from q woman who has
had an extremely unfortunate matri-
monial experience. Her husband
must be man of considerable abil-
lty, since he has won a rather pro-
nounced business success. He must,
moreover, be possessed of charm and
fascination, as l gather from her let
ter that she is a woman of unusual
mtellect-not easy to be won.
However, to use the vernacular.
she fell" for him, and for five years
thereafter regretted it every day of
her life. He abused her, nagged her,
maltreated her in every conceivable
way. Finally he deserted her and
his two children, gracefully choosing
as his time for this a moment when
she herself was i'll and both children
down with the measles, and, in spite
of the fact that he was enjoying a
good income. he left them penniless.
Yet even all this did not arouse
the woman to such indignant scorn
of him as his most recent exhibit
tion, when, having fallen a victim
to the draft, he came whimpering
to her to save him by signing the
statement on his QUESTIONABLE that
he contributed $40 a week to the
support of his children, a conces-
sion she had wrung from him only
through threats of legal procedure.
Breaking the silence she has
maintained through all her trou-
bles, she writes me in utter con-
tempt for the fellow:
THE only proper place for men
of that stamp is in the front line
trenches, and l shall certainly do
nothing to prevent his being sent

But what of the future-in that

that men will have to instill into

the soldiers spirit of valor and dis

1t was an old time Sunday finish,
and just as they used to do on GER
tain memorable days in the great
wooden tabernacle at 168th street
the thousands again were pulled to
their feet by the straight magnetism
of the man. And last night, even be-
fore the cheering had died away and
a tired, worn Billy had found his
chair, some one down below shouted
"America! and the sext second the
choir and audience were singing the
battle song at the top of inspired
voices.
Germany lost out when she turned
from Christ to Krupps; from the cross
of Calvary to the iron cross" he had
thrown out earlier in his talk. And
so today this same dear Cross Of Jesus
Christ is at stake. The Christ and His
religion and all civilization and Chris

rnilitarism and the Turk. But America
will beat them back. I tell you that
Germany may whip England and she
may crush Italy and even win over
France, but she'll never whip Ameri-

That'll help win the war, and winning
the war will show the world whether
all we've been talking about liberty
and freedom is true or just hot air.
And then Billy swung time and
again into descriptions of German
atrocities and spoke of the price that
America would have to pay in pre-
cious boys and treasure in this holy
war to make the world free. But 1t

BILLY SUNDAY

BY WAR ARDOR

New York, Feb. 19-Billy Sunday
came back home to New York yester-
day-but it was a new Billy despite
the same smile and same twinkling
eyes and straight shooting, pictur-
esque words. For it was a war in
spired Billy Sunday, tow HON patriot
ism and country have formed a
trinity with the Gospel that he
breaches and believes in.
Hundreds who had been drawn
down the long sawdust trail at the
great tabernacle in May and June by
this remarkable mans power and
message crowded into Carnegie Hall
last night with other hundreds who
during the ten weeks campaign in
the city had formed a deep affection
for him and gave him an old time,
old fashioned welcome. And after
the songs had been sung and the flags
waved and some $500 had been fairly
clapped their palms on Billy talked
to them of war and outy and the
great job that awaits America.
And somewhere in germany last
night it's a pretty safe pet to make
that a certain other Bills ears must
have done quite considerable lot of
burning. For just as "our" Billy's
form was bully and his control per-
feet and his condition in the very
pink, so was his patriotism a smash
