AZ It Was on Earth,

Not long ago an old lady friend died.
Mary Agnes, who lived in the same
building, had for some reason been
chased from the steps by the old lady,
and so she got the impression that the
old lady was always chasing little chill

Mary asked another woman in the

lady was an angel now. II hope &c."
was the reply. Then little Mary said,

How Floating Dust Causes Fire.
Spontaneous combustion Is caused

nv" 61OASsH0 AuSI SAOSSe T"Vs
Spontaneous combustion Is caused,
20 the chemists tell us, by floating
particles of coal dust or other inflam-
mable material jostling and clashins
against one another until the friction
they set up raises their temperature
to the ignition point. If this explana.
ton is correct, it would appear as II
such fires could be prevented by per-
feet ventilation. Such, however, ID
not the case, for ventilation may actu-
ally help to bring about fire by pom
taneous combustion. Air facilitates
oxidation, really tanning the warm
dust into a blaze. Keep air damp and
quiet to avoid fire-Popular Science

MORE OF "KULTUR."

Upon the talk for peace by Prince Max of Germany comes another cpl sode of German "kultur" in the sink ing of the Ticonderoga and the whole sale murder of the 25O sailors.
 In addition to torpedoing the boat the U-boat's crew was not content at merely the destruction of the ship but gave the members of the crew not a chance to escape. Those, who were fortunate enough to get into boats were fired upon. Others attempting to secure life boats before the ship went down were killed in their ef- forts.
 With chances exceedingly small fol saving their own lives on the briny deep the slender chance was denied them in the name of German kultur The members of the submarine mur- dered them without giving this bare chance for their lives.
 It may be that peace will be de. clared but judging by the actions of this submarine crew the Germans arc not yet sincere in their desires for g peace of nations.
 President Wilson in his peace in quiry was merely 'breaking the news gently" to the Germans that uncon- ditional surrender and full reparatior for crimes committed was his peace terms, What he may have said last year and what he may say in the fu- ture is "horse of a different color

THINGS WE SHOULD EVER
 REMEMBER.

(By Richard H. Edmonds, Editor n Manufacturers Record, Baltimore.)
 We should remember that we are not engaged in war as wars have been known in the past.
 This war bears no resemblance to the Revolutionary War, to the War of 1912, to the Civil War or the Spanish War. It is not war in the sense that they were waning. They were wars for great principles, wag- ed by civilized human beings.
 In Europe we are fighting not a war as wars have been known. We are as a community trying to stop a gang of assassins, of cutthroats, of rapists and looters from carrying in to effect the destruction which for half a century they had been plan ming.
 We are not fighting soldiers as sol diers; We are trying to overcome a lot of assassins and rapists who started out to destroy civilization and conquer our community and all the world in order to murder, to enslave and to loot all other people.
 Never let us for one moment think of Germany and of it's armies from any other point of view because un- less we see the situation in the true light we shall not fully understand that peace with an uncrushed Ger many would be peace with a gang of murderers and outragers and rob- bers, and would be a disgrace to all civilization
 Does community which has been attacked by gang of murderers and looters and rapists accept their offer of peace terms in order not to pun ish the criminals and not to make the ! families of these criminals suffer?
 Does community when it has caught the red-handed murderer or the rapist say, "We must not punish him because his wife and children would suffer"
 Does community when it's police men and it's citizens summoned to their help have been done to death by a gang of cutthroats and robbers ac- cept from these criminals an offer of peace provided they return a part of the loot, leaving them free to wreak, their vengeance upon the same com munity in the future, and count the mercy shown merely as pusillanimous neurotic sentimentalism or as plain cowardice, lacking moral courage to punish the evil-doer?
 Criminals know that they will be punished if caught; they know that any pity which would forbid their punishment is contrary to the laws of God and the experience of human ity They enter upon their scheme of murder and robbery with their eyes open, taking the chance of death for the hope of loot.
 Germany is in exactly this situa- tion. Its people know that they are murderers. hishwaynaen, robbers and

ST. MARTINS CLOSE
TO $4,000 GOAL
Church Workers Are Within 81 800
of the Mark Set

With one more day TO go. st.
Martins Catholic Church. North
Capitol and T streets. last night was
within $3.50 of the goal in their one
week campaign to pay on the $4,000
debt on the church.
When all the teams had reported
last night the receipts for the day
amounted to s2.2o7. making the total
for the six days S1S,552.
Charles w. Floeckher, chairman of
the campaign committee, was en-
thusiastic last night in predicting that
his workers would have little difficulty
in "going over the top" today. The
teams will meet at 4 o'clock this aft
ernoon in the club house, II T street
northwest, when 1t is expected they
will be able to report $4,000 raised.
Plans have been completed for a
big mass meeting OF celebration to
be held in the church tonight, at
which Rev. Eugene A. Hannah, pastor,
will congratulate his people upon
their untiring efforts to make the
campaign a success.
The money will clear the debt on
the present basement church and will
make possible the erection OF a pro-
posed upper church. Work on the
new edifce probably will not be start
ed until after the war because of the
cost Of materials and the difficulty
Of securing shipments.
