Relation at Home.


Religion, il in heavenly truths attired
Needs only to be seen to be admired.
-Cowper
Our greatest writer's all agree that
religion affords home security and
happiness, removes family friction and
causes all complicated wheels of the
home machinery to move on smooth
ly. When dark and sad days begin to
shadow the home. what can cheer and
brighten the sinking heart like turn
ing to the One who can make the tears
of sorrow to be the seed pearls of the
brightest crown? What does a home
become with religion as its life anc
Rule? Human nature is checked and
moulded by the amiable spirit and low
ely character OF Jesus. The heart is
softened. sentiments refined, passions
subdued, hopes elevated, purposes en-
nobled, the world cast into the shade
and heaven realized as the first prize.
The great want of our intellectual and
moral nature is here impregnated with
the spirit and elements of preparation
for eternity. Like mama, II will feed
our souls,quench our thirst, sweeten
the cup OF life and shed halo OF glory
and OF gladness around the fireside.
Let yours, therefore. be the religious
home and God win delight to dwell
therein aud His blessings will descend
like the dews OF heaven. upon IL. Yours
will be the home OF love and harmony.
OF family hopes and happiness.

words of his recent Baltimore speech
in which he said the war would be
pushed with force without stint or
limit were reiterated yesterday as the
answer to Austria. Behind Vienna
Washington sees Germany and the
proposal to discuss terms as another
phase of the peace propaganda which
the PAN Germans have been planning
in an effort to hold what territory
they have gained by unlawful con-
quest and treaty. Baron Burian, AUS

the diplomat who launched the latest

And Why Not Today, Too,-ana To

And Why Not Today, Too,-and To
In one of our exchanges under date
of May 90 1918 it said yesterday was
Mothers Day. We sent mother n let
ter or a bouquet or telegram; or we
visited with her and talked and talk
ed, perhaps told her some things that
4 have been in our heart but which sons
and daughters seem to be able to ex-
press on only few occasions.
Mother was happy yesterday. She
doesn't ask for attention and consid-
Grafton and little expressions of appre-
\ ciation-but she enjoys them and she
! will remember them long after the
donors will have forgotten them. The
| letter which she received will be put
away, but quietly, away so that she
may read 1t again and again. The
| flowers will carry fragrance and com
fort to her long after the petals have
dropped off. The good words will re-
main in her mind for months IL not
years, after the sons and daughters
will have forgotten that they have
been expressed.
But why not make Mothers Day
out of today and tomorrow?
Mothers have not reared their fam
lilies and given their sons and daugh-
ters their training and help and coun-
sci and cheer by offering their SER
vices only one day year. Mothers
work the year round for their children
So why shouldn't the children work
the year round for mothers?
Let all our kindness be from low
ing heart, and not formal acts for the
world to see. Let US not wear two
faces-the one in company, the other
behind the scenes. But let us be kind
loving and true at home, when the
world is not looking on. The home
in which love reigns supreme is hea-
ven on earth. 1.-THE bosom which does
not feel love is cold; the mind which
does not conserve 1t is dull; the philos
ophy which does not accept it is false"
And the only true religion has true
and reciprocal love for its basis. Be
kind and affectionate to mother. Let
it be the greatest pleasure to per-
form the little loving kindnesses that
add so much to the brightness of a |
home. Meet father with kiss of love. |

The Americans in their drive in the
st. Mihiel salient have probably trap
ped between 10000 and 10000 Germans
The Hayas agency reports that the
Germans had in this sector between
90. 900 and 100000 men, and that they
escaped from the trap at the rate OF
one thousand an hour. This would ac-
count for $4,000 making their getaway
and leaving from $4,000 to $4,000 III
the pocket made by the advance of the
Americans. Edward l.. James, in his
account of the battle mentions that
behind the American lines number
of the enemy, in fact that the advance
had been so rapid that much of the
ground they have traversed was almost
UNEMPLOYED, paradoxical as that may
seem. The capture of the prisoners
and the dash of the Americans is WV
sdly told in this story.

SCHOOLS HELP
 AMERICANIZATION

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 13.---"In plans for local com munities the public school is the greatest thing" declared Dr. William c. Smith, director of the American ization for the New York State Coun- cfl of Defense, and supervisor of i'm migrant education for the New York State Department of Education, at the state capitol here yesterday. Dr. Smith addressed the third session of the Americanization conference con- ducted under the auspices of ths De- pa-tment of Americanization, Con- necticut State Council of Defense.
 "The public school can do from @ to I!75 per cent. of the work of American izatfon," Dr. Smith continued. But it must open its doors and go outside
 itself"
 Other organizations which could help in community Americanization
 were D1cal divisions of state defense councils, woman's organizations, the

BERTHA.

Bertha was the daughter of Chere- bert, King of Paris, and married Ethelbert, King of Kent, who as- cended the throne about 56O AID. Ethelbert was a pagan, but Bertha, who was a Christian, had stipulated in her marriage treaty that she be permitted the free exercise of her religion. Through her efforts Christianity was introduced into England. It was during her time that St. Augustine came to England to preach the Gospel at Ethelbert's S court. Christianity proved the means of furthering civilization in England at the time, Ethelbert en- acting laws embodying Christian principles. These laws constituted the first written code promulgated by the northern conquerors. Queer Bertha has the distinction of having founded the first Christian church il Canterbury.

VAST INDEMNITY
 TO BE PAID BY
 GERMAN PEOPLE

London, Dec. 13-(Correspondence The Associated Press)-One London banker estimates that Germany will have to pay to the Allies for repara- tion and restitution about $1,500, ,000,- 0e0. Calculated on a five per cent basis, with a l per cent sinking fund, this would mean an annual charge on the German revenue of $45e, 100000. He says there can be no question of Germany's ability to meet this demand.
 It is impossible, he says, discussing the subject in a newspaper article, to arrive at any approximate figure as to damages and robberies in the invaded territory. For Belgium" the ar ticle continues, q would put the amount of indemnity at $1,4O0,OOO, 900, of which sum levies on Belgian $500, 100000. know of another estimate for Belgium which is as high as $2,00o,O 900, and a Belgian of some authority estimates the amount at $SO0,OOO,OOO.
 With regard to France he says one cannot reckon the loss suffered, but considering that the war has been waged for the most part on French territory, and in the center of her industrial area, we may put the fig ure at s24O, O,OOo,OOO."
 Italys damage is computed at $150, 100000. The same amount is set as Rumania's bill, including the loss of quantities of foodstuffs and damage to oil wells and other proper ty. He thinks that $50,000,000 would cover Serbia's loss, and a like sum probably would reimburse Eng land fer damages caused by air raids and bombardments,
 Shipping losses are then discussed. q estimate" he says, "the loss of ships in figures of tonnage at nine million, and, taking the average value of $20O ton, this would figure out at $1,SO0,0OO, 1000. Adding the total value of cargoes at, say, s9O0,- 100000, we have the total of $2,7OO,- OO0,OOO for Great Britain alone. The shipping losses of the Allies :. esti- mate at $5OO,OOO, 900.
 "I have heard an estimate which places the total of the bill against Germany at $10,000, 100000 which like my own calculation, is, sof course to some extent necessarily hypotheti- cal But I would put the figure my self at $7,5OO,OO0,OO which does not, of course, include any part of the cost of the war"
 Regarding Germany's finances, he calls attention to the last pre-waT budget presented to the Reichstag which showed a revenue of $875,- 100000. The estimate for the army was $292,50O,0O0, and for the navy $1O7, BOO, O,OO0-total O,00O,OOO.
 "Eliminating the expenditure for armaments," the article goes on this would allow Germany to pay approximately the interest and sink ing fund on the s7,5OO,O0O 900 com pensation, leaving the balance o1 revenue, whatever it might be, tc meet the cost of conducting the em s pire and paying the interest on hel loans, which amounted early in the present year to $27,000, 100000, 2 sum which has, of course, been sub stantially increased since"
 In order to meet the Allies bill o4 damages, the writer says, "it may b. that Germany would have to sus pend payment of interest on her owr war loans-I don't say she would re pudiate this obligation"
