(By WINSTON CHURCHILL, Who
Recently Returned From the War
Zone.)
Germany may be likened to great
tree that has fallen across the path
Of democracy. The trunk Is being
chopped through by two axes, the milf
tary ak and the propagandist ak.
IL the trunk is to be severed ana
the obstruction removed, neither ak
must be spared. Americans must con-
tribute willingly to help their allies,
to support their army and navy, which
will be the deciding military factor In
the struggle.
Our American president was the
first world statesman to make clear
that while a military victory is es-
sential, 1t is not in itself adequate.
The great significance Of this war
lies not on the battle lines, but behind
them. 1t is war for human liberty,
and that which restricts human
liberty, not only in the German en-
pire, but also in America and England
and France and Italy and Russia
must be abolished. We are beginning
to perceive that the future progress
of democracy depends on national I'M
selfishness and international co-opera-
ton scientifically conceived.
Issued World Proclamation.
In a series of mastery state papers
Mr.. Wilson has announced to the world
that America enters the war unselfish-
", and has defined the true issue
for all the peoples Of the earth-even
for those deluded portions of the Ger
man population which, because of a
false system Of education. have hith-
erto upheld the hands Of the worst
enemies of liberty, the junkers. Until
quite recently, one of the most dis
quieting symptoms from the point of
view Of the allies was a discomfort
with, II not an actual opposition to, the
war of large elements among the work
ing classes of the allied peoples. In
Russia, where democracy was most
cruelty suppressed, where conditions
for the peasant and the workingman
were hardest, a revolution actually
took place-a revolution that has
sounded the keynote of our times. The
world service which our president is
doing IS that of enlisting the allie
glance of those masses for the war.
He is convincing them that 1t is their
war. And thase are they upon whom
the evils of an outword economic sys-
TEN have pressed hardest, and who
hitherto have seen little hope that vic
tory over the Germans meant their
own deliveranee. Mr.. Wilson has is
sued a world proclamation Of emanci-
patton from economic slavery.
Make Their Own Treaties
He not only declares that powerful
nations shall cease to exploit little ma
lions, but that powerful individuals
shall cease to exploit their fellow men.
He declares that henceforth no wars
shall be fought for domination, and
that to this end secret treaties shall
be abolished. The peoples through
their representatives shall make their
own treaties. And just as national
democracy insures to the individual
the greatest amount of self-determina-
ton. of GENERALIZATION, world democ-
racy shall insure self-determination to
the individual nations of the earth, in
order that each may be free to make
Its own contribution to world democ-
racy.

There was no one she could think
of who would send her anything, and
nothing that she could remember that
would come In a box like that. And
Mr.. Marks, she knew, had never seen
silver string. He used red and white
cord that looked like peppermint
candy and since paper was SO high
he had even charged extra for envel-
opes.
She laid back the lid of the letter
box and took the violet box tender
ly in both hands as she would have
lifted sick baby. Yes, the name
and address were hers. She had re-
ceived a valentine.
She laid her cheek against its damp
cold top, where the snowfakes were
already doing their best to obliterate
the address. "You darling" she whis-
pered. "You dear" Then she folded
1t carefully under her shawl and
turned back to the house.

up from the stove where she was fry

grimly. "Open It"
Luella laid the box on the white

united the cord with trembling fin

Occupy Your Proper Place.

It's continuous confidence in ths
ideal of your own making that compels
success, observes an educator. Some
men never question the possibility of
defeat. They may have set-backs but
not defeats. They are right and know
themselves to be right. The rest of
the world may be ranged against them

Preacher Kept His Cap.
An old woman gave Lincoln cap
which she had made out of fox fur.
ut was his Sunday cap" said Mr.. Col
laher, land Abraham was proud of 1t.
A journeyman preacher passed through
the country one day and stopped at the
Lincoln cabin. He decided to hold n
meeting in the neighborhood. During
the series of revivals the preacher lost
his hat, and Mrs. Lincoln loaned Little
Abe's' cap to the minister. 1t was
never returned. Abraham asked me
what l thought of the preacher, and
told him that thought that the fell
low was rascal. We'll, Austin, said
Abraham, YOU know mother has been
telling us about the thief on the cross !;

always be good, but that he would
never join a church. He never forgot
the preacher who stole the cap, and he
frequently said to me that he never
wanted another Sunday cap-one at n
time was enough"
Tom Lincoln was of n rowing dispo-

home for days at time. During Tom
Lincoln's visits into the wilderness
Little Abe" was his mothers only pro-
lection. He never left his mother
| while Tom Lincoln was away, except
to visit his traps, and Mrs. Lincoln
often accompanied him on these err

Lincoln owned two flintlock rifles; one

the other he left at home. During
Tom Lincoln's absence on one occa-

the ground, and, since the nearest
neighbor of the Llncoln's lived several
miles away, It was apparent to Mrs.
Lincoln that she and Little Abe must

cabin or perish of hunger. Mrs. Lin

faced conflict with as much deter

LincoIn's Adventurous Spirit.
A quarter of a mile west of Hodgen-
vile there is cave with an entrance
in a cliff overlooking Nolynn river.
There are few boys who ever lived in
Hodgenville any length Of time who
have not explored this cave. Abraham
Lincoln was no exception. A number
of years ago an old man by the name
Of Brownfield told me that Lincoln,
when a small child was lost In this par
ticular cavern. and that he spent the
entire night in the cave. "He was
treed," said Mr.. Brownfield, "by his
faithful dog the next morning." From
notes which I made at the time / am
enabled to relate the narrative in Mr..
Brownfield's own language. or prac-
tically In his own language: "While
Lincoln did not possess as adventur-
Gus nature as some boys" said Mr..
Brownfield. "he had just enough of the
boyish curiosity in him to cause him
to attempt the hazardous task of find
ing hidden gold in caves. 1t was late
in the evening of early spring Il can
not recall the year) that the neighbors
were notified that little Abe Lincoln
was lost; that he had left home In the
afternoon to go to Hodgens' mill. but
that late in the evening he had not re-
turned. Tom Lincoln spread the news,
telling all the neighbors that Little
Abe's mamma was beside herself. she
being afraid that the Injuns had car
ried her boy away The nelghbors
gathered at the home of Tom Lincoln,
bringing with them torches of pine
knots. The woods were secured, and
the hallooing kept up till daylight, but
no trace of Little Abe was found.
Again the searchers gathered at the
Lincoln cabin to consult with each
other as to the best course to pursue,
but before any plan of search was
agreed upon Little Abe and his rabbit
dog came moseying up.
Young Lincoln had left his sack Of
corn mt the mill, and while waiting his
| turn decided to stroll down the river
just to see how the "land lay" beyond
the confines of Hodgen's mill. He
found the cave. hurriedly dreamed a
dream of hidden treasures, and in he
went, implicitly believing that he
would come forth with an abundance
of gold. He could neither find gold or
the exit of the cave. Early In the
morning of the next day his faithful
dog, following the trail of Little
! Abe's' footsteps, 'treed him. and led
the way out of the hole in the ground
that Abe had pulled in after him. Tom
Lincoln piled the hickory, but the good
mother took Little Abe to her bosom,
hugged him tightly, and then gave
freely to him of her cornbread and
