WAR DISCOVERS
SOUL OF nation
Rev. w. A. Vrooman Says
Greatest Revelation is
America S Idealism
BRITAIN UNITED,
RUSSIA COLLAPSES

Speaking yesterdy in the Unitarian
Church, the Rev. w. A. Vrooman, re-
fered to some astonishing discoveries
urlng the war. lie found the most sur
prising Of these in the spirit Of the
nations engaged The British empire
had no visible bonds Of unity. Mr..
Nrooman said IL was a mere conglom-
Grafton Of peoples without any central
authority, attached TO the motherland
by spiritual ties only. Each colony
was daughter in her mothers house
but mistress Of her own" War has
revealed this invinclble strength Of the
crowned republic through this enjoy
ment Of liberty. Mr.. Vrooman said;
Russia was feared for her immensity
OF power. But Russia has crumbled
into anarchy through the ignorance OF
the people. Some 70 per cent Of the
population are illiterate. No democ-
racy Is safe without universal educa-
tion. The Russian revolution fails
through the treachery o. its leaders
and the ignorance OF the people.
Germany was respected for her
science. industry and power. She was
numbered among the great powers. The
decay Of Germany is one OF the sur
prises OF the war. With the outward
appearance Of power the nation was
rotten at the heart Individual Ger
mans I'm private life might be decent
and kindly people, but they were obedi-
ent cOgs in a ruthless machine driven
by irresponsible warlords. The uni
versal doctrine OF the State that might
makes right and every crime is noble
that strengthens the power Of the
fatherland corrupted the whole nation.
The soul Of the nation became pos
sessed by devils. As a corporation
VIII do wickedness every member as a
private citizen would abOminate, so the
German nation as a State, making
scraps Of all the laws OF humanity and
claims to be above all
The plans OF the German
staff are mistaken for the DEGREES Of
Providence. For this wickedness Ger
many decays.
"The fourth great surprise Of the
war is the practical ideallsm OF Amer
ica. This country was accused Of ma
terialism and money-madness. With
unanimity that surprises the world
millions OF men and billions OF money
are modified for the defense Of i'm
periled democracies against the wick
edness OF Central Europe. For no ma
terlal profit but for the liberation Of
peoples everywhere from the aggres-
sions Of autocratio force, this country
sacrifices its men and wealth.
"The unity Of Britain, the weakness
OF Russia, the moral decay OF Ger
many, and the glorious idealism Of
America are the four great surprises
Of the war"

TWO FLAGS over
new RESERVOIR
Rodney Street Ba sin is
Dedicated With Patriotic
Exercises
USE OCCASION TO
AID LIBERTY LOAN

Josiah Marvel, Robert G. Harpan and
William :. Hilles were the speakers at
the dedication exercises at the new
water reservoir at Eighth and Rodney
streets on Saturday afternoon.
Marking the occasion was the unfold
ing Of an American flag and a service
flag donated to adorn the reservoir by
residents Of the Fifth ward
Josiah Marvel made the dedicatory
address and spoke OF the sort OF
liberty that Americans are lighting for.
1T is liberty regulated by law he
declared. "This is the sort OF liberty
that makes for civilization; 1t is the
sort OF liberty that made this country
what it is and that has brought about
our activity in the present European
war"
Mr.. Marvel dweh in some detail on
the events Of the war and especially
the place occupied by the United States.
Mr.. Harman spoke OF the work Of
the committee OF the residents OF the
neighborhood and described why the
people had decided 30 take advantage
Of the occasion and the opportunity to
present the flags to the city for use
In the park. Mr.. Harman called at
tention to the fact that the location OF
the reservoir was one of the sites
viewed by the men looking for site
for the national capitol and was nearly
chosen by them for the capitol OF the
United States. He introduced the Rev.
Zack w. Wells. who made the presen-
tatiOn speech.
Mr.. Hilles spoke on the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. The loan, he said, offered an
opportunity for every man. II was a
privilege, he said. No one should think
he invested his money in bonds because
he had TO, but because II was his duty
TO do so. He told how a man had come
to him declaring he did not intend to
buy Liberty Bonds because he could
invest his money to better advantage.
THAT man does not realize" said
Mr. Hilles, that II we do not win this
war his money Will not be OF any use
to him, no matter where or how II is
invested" The point, Mr.. Hilles de-
clared, is that every man owes II TO
his government TO buy Liberty Bonds,
in order to assist in carrying on the
war. Unless he does that he is falling
in his patriotic duty" Mr.. Hilles de-
clared.
During the progress OF the meeting
the Harlan Band, which recently won
the $500 Coke trophy for the best mu-
steal organization in the eastern ship
yards, played a number OF selections
including the national airs Of the Al
lied nations. Following the address
