THE RELIGIOUS WORLD
BANEFUL PRUSSlAN|S|N
IS THEME Of Marine
Gift of Christmas Bag Brings Let
ter From Front Descriptive
of Enemy.

Miss Flora Nichols. pianist at First
Baptist Sunday school. prepared a
number of Christmas bags. in which
her name and address was placed.
They were sent to France. She has
just heard from marine who was
the recipient of one of the bags.
This marine. Harry st. Louis of the
Goth Company. 5th Regiment. United
States Marine Corps. has written her
a letter expressing his pleasure upon
receiving the gift.
He states he, was in the fourth line
ef trenches at the time of the writ
ing. which runs through a ruined
town. The dugout where the letter
was written was in the cellar OF Il
ruined house. He described four other
ruined towns in sight and describe I
at length the work of the Germans
in destroying them.
Writing of the fiendis,l Elce with
which the German soldiers form
their duties. the writer says in part:
The HohcnZollern house does. it is
true. foster and cultivate the spirit
of Prussianism. but the kaiser is the
outlet and not tnc source of the
has taken the balance of the civilized
world to stem. Love of country and
belief in its doctrines Is the Cnly
thing that would induce two million
men to walk shoulder to shoulder
through an artillery ta"raGe and face
the hail of bullets until an almost
impossible barrier of their own dead
comrades rose up before them. They
went over their dead and over the
top of the allied trenches. Fear of
punishment could never make men
do that.
Il am convinced that we are fight
ing the German people as solid and
united as we ourselves. Those who
would p:cture>them to us as a. poor,
ignorant. misguided people who are
the victims of misconceived ideas OF
right are Ions way off. His devilish
inventions are the product of genius
that was never human. If you could
see the French soldiers who have
faced their liquid fire: if you knew
the terrors of the gases they send
over in every conceivable form; you
will see only n reflection of German
nature that is not misguided. but with
free rein to express itself to the
world as it desires.
My hatred of the enemy was not
conceived in an hour when | was
brooding over the hardships so neces-
sary in the life of d soldier in the
trenches. 1t did not come when my
feet were sore and my pack heavy
and still ten miles to hike. 1t grew
through long period of personal
observation of the character of the
Germans as shown by what he left
behind-'by his works shall ye know
him.
We must beat the German people"

LAND SALE
IS POSSIBLE

The state land department has no.
titled the county auditor to have the
board Sof county commissioners ap-
praise the balance Of the school land
in this county,. preparatory to having
a sale of the same. As the time is
late and the roads very bad at the
present time,- it will probably take
some time to properly appraise the
land and the outlook is that if there is
a sale that it will not be until some
time in Jan. 1919, at least. Just why
the land departemnt should wait until
the late hour to have the land apprais-
ed is not just clear.
