THE BATTLE AGAINST BOOZE.

The battle against booze began the
day after the flood. It has been going
on with varying fortunes ever since.
In the last fifty years booze has gone
from defeat to defeat, winning
sk1rmlsh now and then, but year by
year losing ground. In the last gen.
Grafton the battle has gone repeatedly
against John Barleycorn. First in
surance companies began to refuse
his intimates, then railway companies
and great Industrial organizations be
gan to discard those who patronized
his parlors. State after state and city
after city found that it was richer
without saloon revenues, and then
the war pro fed that even armies
fought better when SOBER and war
prohibition became a step toward
victory. In our own United States
so much OF the territory has already
gone dry that great breweries are
now turning their attention to the
manufacture of drinks with barley
flavor which they advertise as tenn
perance beverages, while the last
whisky was legally manufactured be-
fore midnight on September s, 1917.
The makers Of beer and wine con-
tinue their plants under the constant
threat that food necessities may any
day bring prohibition to them. More
than that, there is now pending in
the Senate of the United States res
olution looking toward a prohibit
ton amendment to the Federal
Constitution.
It would seem that the battle
against booze was all but won, and
that is very dangerous point in any
fight, the point at which it is neces-
sary to fight hardest. Any Stacking
of effort at this time on the part of
those opposed to the liquor business
will enable it to repair its damaged
lntrenchments. There can be no com.
promise with this foe. He is the
deadly enemy of youth, opportunity,
homes and the state. The command
therefore in every Christian camp
must be, Fight on" Soon it will be
Fix bayonets'' for the final charge.

There always has been, and
possibly there always will be, con-
troversy over the religious train
ing of the young, says the Catho-
lie Transcript. The inadequacy of
the Sunday School is acknowl-
edged by the Catholic Church.
Indeed the acknowledgment is
translated at great cost and at
great sacrifice into brick and NOR
tar and maintained as monu-
mental witness to the depth and
sincerity of the conviction that
prompts it. The parochial school
system of the country is the Cath
Ollie Church S confession to the in
ability of the Sunday school to
provide for the religious training
of the child.

WAR INSURANCE.

n One OF the most generous acts
OF our Government since war was
declared is the legislation cover
ing insurance for our fighting
men and their families. The Mill
tary and Naval Insurance Act is a
guarantee that both the men and
their dependents will be taken
care of by the government with
promptness and generosity. For
his own benefit and for the benefit
of his family, every enlisted man
and officer in the Army and Navy
should take the full $4,000 of
insurance. Comparatively speak
ing, the cost for this amount is
but slight. Insurance Of almost
four billions already has been APP
piled for, but this great total is
only beginning.
Every enlisted man owes this
duty both to himself and to his
family. 1t is a safeguard which
he can throw about his loved ones
for the dark days that may soon
arrive. 1t is a duty not only of
love but also Of justice, both
towards himself and towards
others. In order to benefit by
this insurance, persons in service
before October Is, 1917, must ap-
ply on or before February u,
1918. Those who entered the
service after October Is, 1917,
have one hundred and twenty
days from the date of enlistment
in which to apply.

THE ARMY CHAPLAIN.

Never before, perhaps, i'll any
war has the army Chaplain at
tanned such prominence as an i'm
portant figure among the forces
at the front. Chaplains there
have been, it is true, in all other
wars, hut the tremendous efforts
being made by the governments
today to safeguard the morality
of their men give an added signifi-
canoe to the chaplain and his
work In the words of one who
has seen service at the front, "The
army Chaplain takes the place Of
the dear ones at home in the sol
dier's heart. 1t is his mission to
comfort the homesick boy. 1t is
the Chaplain who is called upon
by the commanding officers to talk
| to their boys when great drives
are being planned; and it is the
Chaplain who stimulates courage
in the disaffected by reminding
them that the duty to ones coun-
try is a duty to God, and that
there is no greater privilege than
| to die in His Name. !"
The Importance Of the chap
lain s work can be to some extent
understood when it is realized that
the majority Of our soldiers and
sailors are not veterans Injured to
| the hardships of war, but young
men taken from the environment
of home and religion, and hurled
almost instantly into an entirely
new world. These youths have
recently severed the bonds that
united them to the mornings of
home and church. 1t requires the
guiding hand, the sage counsel,
the fatherly interest Of the chap
lain to enable them to get their
bearings in new surroundings.
Added to this, a certain amount
of freedom allowed the young sol
diers frequently may be the occa-
sion of playing with fire, that is
to say, Of yielding to the peculiar
temptations that surround army
life. The firm hold which the
army chaplains have upon our
young men is shown in the various
reports from naval and military
centerS, both here and abroad. All
this should serve as a source. Of
lconsolation to the families left be-
hind, and Of trustfulness that the
spiritual welfare Of our young
men will be cared for as tenderly
land as zealously as if they were
| still within the confines of their
home parish.
six months, says a chaplain,
in the duration of that great
battle ] worked among the men in
all positions before Verdun. It
was my duty to visit them in the
front line, to plead with them III
the name Of God to keep up their
courage in these awful moments;
to receive them at the first and
second line defense, to comfort
the wounded and to pray with the
dying. The chaplain must wend
his way through the maze Of
trenches and remind the homesick
land weary that there would be no
home were it not for their sacri-
flee, and make appeals to their
patriotism when they grow re-
Iluctant. -

received jolt from Japanese
writer, who says that with the
Introduction of Western novels,

Upon investigation we find that

second. Both have much to do in
the way of reforming morals.
