A FRESH GERMAN PROTEST

The German government recently made a formal
protest through existing diplomatic channels that the
British were using soft-nosed bullets which cause need
less suffering, and which are contrary to the ordinary
usages OF war. The British government has entered a
formal denial. There the matter rests.
1t is in order to look for some new example of Ger
man frtghtfulness, if there remains anything in the line
OF brutality which has not already been put in practice
by the Germans. That sort of thing has usually been
preceded by charges similar to that just made,
The Germans have the proud distinction Of being
the first people in modern times to use poison gas in
warfare. a practice which their proteges, the Turks, have
not yet adopted. They were the first to make special
targets OF Red Cross stations and plainly marked hos
pitfalls, a stage Of civilization which, again. the Turks
have not reached. They were the first to drop bombs
on open and undefended towns and to sink ships carry
ing women and children.
They have taxed their ingenuity in these directions
pretty severely, but it is possible that their kutur has
developed something still more devilish than we have
yet seen. ef

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM

Over three thousand employees Of the Western CGrt-
ridge company at East Alton, Ill, have voluntarily taken
a pledge to stand by the American soldiers in France, and
to work without ceasing until the war is over in order
that, to the extent of their ability, our soldiers may be
supplied with the means wherewith to continue the fight.
That is practical patriotism of the highest type.
If the l. w. W. prapagandists are still engaged in the
work of turning out the sort Of literature with which the
country has become somewhat familiar. we can imagine
the comment which this action will bring forth from that
and similar sources. These workers.. we will be told, have
sold themselves out to the capitalists. They have signed
away their liberties. They have locked the shackles on
their own limbs. They have voluntarily taken their place
in society as slaves. I Ill +
On the contrary, these men have simply demonstrate
ed that they regard the cause Of liberty as Of more con-
sequence than their own Immediate personal advantage.
They have declared in substance that while their sons
and brothers and friends are risking their lives in the fur
therance Of the cause of democracy. these factory workers
will not permit other questions>to obtrude themselves in
such a manner as to interfere with the supply of mate
rails without which the presence of our men on the field
of battle would be mere suicide.
There is no obstacle in this case in the way Of dis
cussion and adjustment of. wages and hours and condi-
tons of labor. But the workers declare that they will
not use the war necessities of the nation as a means to
enforce their demands. AS a matter of fact, these work.
es will occupy a better position industrially because Of
their action than if they had insisted on retaining the
weapons Of force and obstruction with which to fight
their battles.
In the long run the deciding factor in questions af-
fecting the relations of employer and employe is public
sentiment. No employer can long continue to treat his
employees unfairly in the face Of an aroused public opin-
ion, and public opinion is invariably aroused when facts
demonstrating unfair treatment are understood by the
public. In the case of these particular employees, if con-
ditions should arise resulting in a demand for different
treatment in any particular, the public would be all the
more ready to listen to a presentation Of the case. and to
insist on a prompt and proper adjustment by reason of
the very fact that by their own act the employees had de-
prived themselves Of the weapons of industrial warfare
to the use of which disputes in such cases have so often
had recourse. The public would say, in substances: "For
a splendid public purpose these men have agreed that
their labor shall proceed without interruption. There
fore we, the people at large, for whom soldiers are fight
ing and laborers are toiling, will see to it that these
men have justice"

WHO ARE OUR ERlENDS7

Both Irish factions have now sent special Appeals
y the United States for sympathy. Both claim to have
been our best friends in 1916 We, can't make distinctions
between them on the issue Of 177s. Both northern and
southern 1rishmen were our friends then. as we're also
the Liberals Of England the most valuable and influential
friends We had in the world in those days, not even ex-
cepting France.
But the question Of the hour is: Who Is on our side
now7 We are fighting an is'ue Of the twentieth century.
not Of the eighteenth. Those who wish ohr friendship
and support must give friendship and support in return.
They cannot do it by raising rebellion against an allied
government or by pleading petty local excuses for refus-
ing to bear their share of the burden of the fighting which
all the rest Of US have had to assume.-Buffalo Express.

CHURCHES

According to Information gathered in a recent re-
Hgious survey, there are in the United States 226. 500
churches of all denominations, or an average Of one
church to every 485 persons, and this fact is being used
to offset the statement often made that there are too
ance is made for the churches in out-of-the-way places,
number OF persons per church would not be far from
1000.
1t may be a little difficult to tell whether. az q mat
ter of fact, there are too many churches or not. It is
a fact that there are too many churches in some COM
munities to permit any Of them to do effective work, and
we understand the movement for the combination of
churches here and there, and the elimination Of certain
OF them, to be based on this fact, and not to have ref
erence to the number Of churches at large. ~.
There are small villages in which there are two or
more churches which, in their actual practice, emphasize
by reason Of population and wealth, one church, could
be well maintained, but where the existing number
starve.
The undesirabilty Of this condition has been gener-
ally recognized, and several of the great church organi-
cations are committed to the policy Of avoiding such
conditions in the future. The establishment Of Compel
ing organizations in communities which are already well
supplied has one very Injurious effect in that 1t creates
q drain on the home mission funds of the general or
ganization which is entirely unnecessary, and funds which
have been contributed for the spread of the gospel are
frittered away in erecting unnecessary buildings and
employing unnecessary pastors at starvation wages. The
situation appears to be, not that there are too many
churches. but that not all Of them are in the right places.

TANKS

The appellation '"Yanks," as a nickname for the
American soldier. bids fair to stick. The word Sammy,
seems to have gone into the discard. and a lot of people,
soldiers included, are glad of it. If it could have been
made plain Sam that might have done very we'll, but
Sammy is a monstrosity, and not to be endured.
The regularity of a nickname is that 1t seems to
fix itself. and the prospect now is that, without pre-
arrangement or planning on the part Of anybody, our
soldiers, from whatever part of the country they may
hail, will remain Yanks, and will glory in the title.
Just where and how the word Yankee" originated
nobody seems to know. In Revolutionary days it was
frequently applied to the colonals in general. Later its
use was restricted to the New England states. In the
Civil war It was applied generally to the soldiers of the
north. and the southern people used it as an oppression
Of dislike. Now the sons Of those same southern people
are doing some glorious fighting in France, under the
name which. half a century ago, made a southerner's
blood boil when he heard It.
II is likely that many southerners nst heard the
word applied to themselves with some misgtvines. but
IL is q fact that for q long time, to a very large number
of foreigners. any citizen 81 the United states was a
Yankee. That generalization has fixed itself pretty
firmly to cur army, and the thing seems to be settled.
