outlined the terms OF a permanent

No Peace New.
Apropos OF this Mr.. James said,
in part:
When We have pushed back the
enemy foot by foot out of bleeding
Belgium; when We have pushed them
hack foot by foot out of heroic
France; when We have driven them
out of Northern Italy; when We have
driven them out OF every foot Of
brave Serbia and little Montenegro;
when We have pushed them hack on
German soil, seen them burn and
destroy their lands as they have de-
stroyed the fertile fields Of France
and Belgium; when the flag of Bel
GUM, the tricolor OF France, the
Union Jack of Great Britain, the
flag OF Italy and our glorious red,
white and blue float proudly in the
breezes as We march towards Pots
dam; when the Kaiser is willing
to expiate his sins on the desolate
isle of st. Helena: when the terms
of peace will be made in Germany
but made by men favoring per-
manent peace. then We will talk
peace, but no red-blooded American
wants any talk OF peace until that
day comes"
Any other kind OF a peace, stated
Mr.. James, would not only "be made
in Germany, but made by Germany. .'
John Temple Graves, another speak

saying that a spiritual Renaissance
among the peoples of all nations

MARTHA SUTTON
THOMPSON WRITES.
ON INFLUENZA

An article on the epidemic Of in
fluenza written by Martha Sutton
Thompson, appeared in the Sunday
morning edition of the Spokane
Spokesman eview. Martha Sutton
Thompson formerly lived in Grand
Forks, and is we'll known here.
The article includes views of the
Christian Scientist regarding the cpl
demic which has spread throughout
the country. It follows in part:
The need Of the hour is not met
by believing that influenza is terrible
in it's nature and effects and then
trying to be afraid of it. The real
need and remedy is the understand
ing that it is not to be feared, and
why. Amid the terror and chaos
where, shall we look for this under
standing" Research traces all phi
losophies and systems in vain until it
reaches the words and works of
Jesus and his disciples and apostles.
The substance of the Nazarene's mar
velous healing and teaching was that
mans real being was spiritual and
indissolubly linked with his creator,
divine Mind, God. He proved that a
comprehension of this fac brought
man consciously in line with the
health and that the action Of divine
law annulled the so-called laws and
activities of sin and disease. But the
great teacher knew vastly more about
God and man, more about evil and
the methods of it's destruction than
he taught. Before he departed he
declared, II have many things to tell
you. but you can not hear them now,
and when the spirit of truth comes
he will lead vol into all truth"
"Christian Science is claimed by
its followers to be the spirit of truth
he referred to; that it ID destined to
lead the world into all truth and
will redeem the nations from sin and
disease. Accordingly they regard
Mary Baker Eddy. the founder and
discoverer Of Christian Science, as the
most notable apostle of Jesus Christ,
and whose message opens more clear
ly the meaning of the scriptures.
Christian Science was first to pro-
perfect ideas constitute the whole of

Soldiers Urged
To Keep Their
Insurance POlicu
Corporal G. O.. Tverberg Writes Let
ter in Which He Emphasizes the
Necessity and Importance of Under
standing Matter.

Ina letter from c. @. Tverberg to
Chairman j. B. Wineman of the home
service section, the young man says
that he was promoted to the rank Of
a corporal after two months training,
has always been anxious that his
company enjoy all benefits due the
men. and appeals to MI. wineman
emphasize the importance of retain
ing the insurance. His letter in part
follows:
1T is very discouraging to hear
sue a large number of the boys say
that they intend to drop their insur-
ance, especially those who have the
smallest means They do not realize
what it will mean to them in the fu-
ture. OF course we expect a lot of
them to cut it down a little, but there
are so many who will drop it entirely,
and 1t does not seem as though they
can be made to understand the i'm
portance of keeping up their insur-
ance. Then there are rumors around
that this insurance is a fake, and you
know it does not take very many ru-
mors like that before it has its effects.
1 don't know how OF when they get
started, but it seems as though there
is always something around to hurt
a good u I know it doesn't seem
PoSoAoA " Sou' pot 1 nAo" pOSAIAVCiy
that there are a lot of boys who will
drop their insurance as soon as they
get discharged, because it seems as
though they can't be brought to un-
derstand how very necessary it is for
their W benefit. r.
"The reason I write about this to
you, is because I know you were al
ways interested in having the boys
take out their limit in insurance, and
I'm sure you would want them to con-
tinue it now, after they had taken it.
So if you Know of any effective way
of making them all understand how
necessary it is for their future not to
drop it, I'm sure they would appre-
ciate it in years to come If not at
present. 1 only hope I'm mistaken in
the fact that they will drop their in
surance, but if a person is to believe
what he hears, I'm afraid it's only too
true" ta ~
Soldiers are returning to the city
daily, after receiving their discharges,
Many think they can use their money
to better advantage than to invest ii
in insurance, the benefits of which
they may never reap. 'They are TAX
ing a long chance" say Mr.. Wine
man: 1.-The battlefield is not the only
| place where death occurs, and an in.
surance is an excellent thing to be
able to leave the family"
The home service section urges par
ents to take more interest in the mat
ter.
