Cheerful Work This Year.

What great asset is cheerful
ness! How it influences our own
lives and those associated with us!
At the beginning of the year
when we are making plans and con-
centrating courage and determiua-
ton for the duties ahead, let us
not forget cheerfulness. We can
not do our best without it. We
will not lend hope or inspiration to
others unless we are cheerful.
The war and its expectations as
they may affect this country have
driven away, the hopeful, cheerful
attitude of many. While we are
doing our part in helping win this
war we can smile, hope for success,
expect to conquer in the conflict
and be thankful for the lessons we
will learn from economy.
This world is yet safe for demo-
cracy because of our army, navy
and the industries, sober citizen
ship of this country. We are in
the war that the world may con-
tinue to be safe. This country will
win, because we are right and be-
cause right must prevail. Then
let us rejoice.
Work will be lighter, the days
pleasant and our neighbors more
agreeable and obliging if we will
be cheerful. Let us try it and be

Copyright, 1915: oil yicAfs ressrred.

LONDON. Oct 6.--From n source pos
sessing channels OF information with the
Papal Secretary of State the London
correspondent OF the Manchester Des-
patch says he learns the Vatican has
changed it's policy with regard TO the
Teutonic alliance and that Il already
has urged Emperor Charles Of Austria
Hungary and the South German mon
archs to press for peace, since the mill
:ary outlook for Germany is hopeless.
1T Is only natural and legitimate"
he says, that the Vatican generally
should encourage among Catholics
obedience to the established order in
every State. This fundamental policy
explains why in the past the Pope never
has encouraged among the Slav subjects
in the Hapsburg monarchy any extreme
nationalist or separatist movements :
but his Holiness. like Leo MIL. is de-
termlned to move with time in the
political and social sphere.
He is unwilling that his Slayonic
flock in Austria-Hungary should feel
that their aspirations toward an indie
pendent status should In any way be
INSTRUCTED by the church. Accordingly
we have seen prelates like Bishop Jeg-
Itch Of Laibach proclaimiig themselves
openly In favor OF complete autonomy.
The Vatican has gone further than
this and has caused resentment In Prus-
sia by urging Charles and the South
German kings to sue for peace. Pos

matte adviser. contemplates . new Aus
