Stokes Trench Gun Beats

An artillery problem developed in
France when the opposing armies set

some places only a score OF yards
apart. The enemy was safe from shells

and burst far to the rear, while 1t was
difficult for the large caliber howit-

ditch. A gun was needed which would
gently job a quantity OF high explo-

the fighting lines.
The Germans set to work and pro-

THE Wa AND THE TRUTH.

"Ye shall know the truth ant

Gold and right-by-might ruled
the civilized world. The king
could do no wrong. Generals
courtiers and politicians ate ou|
of the kings hand. Graft, cor.
ruption and injustice filled palace
and court. The penalty Of criti-
cism was death or torture.
Jesus was a reformer. He paid
the penalty. Through the centu-
ries, the fearless DISCLAIMERS OF
truth have so paid the penalty,
Martin Luther, Savonarola, Joan
OF Arc, Lincoln, among them.
First they crucified men, and lat

THE SERVICE FLAG.

If your self-starter of patriot
ism is not working quite right,
drop in at the High School on one
of the days when our women are
working on the service flag. Tru-
ly, something is wrong if you do
not leave with heart overflow
ling with admiration for these
noble workers, and an ardent love
for the cause that brings them
there. They are sewing stars,
blue for the living and gold for
the dead, each standing for the
name Of Missoula county boy
who entered the service. At one
end is a mother whose son was on
the Tuscania, but who by good
luck escaped; at another is a Sis
ter whose brother is in the avia-
ton service, and between and
around, are women whose hus-
bands, brothers and sons are in
the camps or "over there" Yes
terday there were drawn faces
|of those waiting for the death
lists after the big battle on the
American salient.
II is well to remember that the
making of this flag is a big job,
requiring much labor and study.
The dedication, when it is flung
to the breezes from He'll Gate can
yon, should be memorable af-
fair. 1t will probably mark the
first outdoor appearance of our
Community Chorus and most
certainly will be an occasion to
inspire the orator who may be
honored with a call. Our women
will be at work at the High
School again next Saturday. Do
not fail to visit them. You will
be better for it.

and when home is reached he feels that

Such a man rarely thinks Of his wife

NO QUITTING.

We submit as a trend Of

Of our old friend, President
George Wheeler Human, of Ma
rietta college, as expressed in a
forecast that the war may be end
cd in September:
II base this opinion on number OF
reasons" said Dr. Human. I'm the
first place, do not believe there is
going to be any vanquished.
'The two great forces in this world
struggle now are at q point where
neither, In my judgment, can make
any vital progress. Germany certain
ly cannot. France has been in the
war since the beginning and Is almost
exhausted. The other allies Of Great
Britain have fallen away one by one.
"The United States. Of course, never

far can we get into It. know this
Is not a popular view, but it occurs to
me that the strain both financially and
economically is 30 great that the war
must end from exhaustion. and be-
lievc 1t will not take longer than to
the first Of September to determine
this.
AT one time we entertained the
view that the war might end by
September, not because of gem
eral exhaustion of the warning
nations, but because of Germany's
exhaustion, physically and spir-
itually. We believed that even
before that time, Germany would
receive in friendly form the lib
eral proposals of President Viii
son and Lloyd George and that an
adjustment would be reached
through conference.
The very recent turn Of affairs
in Russia, wholly unanticipated
has rendered all forecasts futile

ing ground, six times the size OF
her own realm. She has acquired
