Agnosticism and Bias
phemy In Germany

adele N. and Russell Phillips in
The Atlantic Monthly
In contrast to the emperor's smTg
and almost sacrilegeous claim of inti-
macy with the Deity, one is almost
Mortified by the wave Of agnosticism
that has swept over Berlin. There is
a greater increase of the other and
worse extremists, who, with hooking
and contumelious language, neither
assert nor deny the existence of the
Deity because Of the limits Of human
intelligence or OF insufficient psychi-
cal evidence, but who absolutely deny
and scoff at the existence of God.
The gcourge Of the disconsolate
must not be COMPOUNDED with the in
fidel, who denies Christianity aud the
truth OF the Scriptures. And EesTen
knows that there are hosts of them
in Berlin; blasphemous hordes who
attack the very tenets Of Christian
ity in public places, without moles-
tation by the authorities.
What can stem the tide of
blasphemy which is sweeping over
Germany? For the unbeliever there
is hope-for the blasphemer, none. In
the past year the Berlin newspapers
gave q great deal Of space to several
undoubtedly brilliant writer's. While
our own papers were discussing the
more vital questions of the moment,
the problems OF peace before and
after the war,--these writers consum-
ed space in a debate on the predilec-
ton OF the Divine Presence for either
combatant. The discussion called
forth a lively reply in the Morgen-
post, from the noted free thinker
S-chlunsen, who writes:
OF what use is q debate on the
existence OF the Deity? The in
visible can assume no earthly
obligation can bear no mortal
burdens. One might as reason
ably say that the other bore a
MESSAGE that there was divine
ordination in the soughing Of the
night wind over the battle field;
that God was a mere road to
some desired end; that peace
could be found only at the termi-
nation Of that road. There is only
one God-feaT. There is another
decentralization Expediency is
the intercessor and completes the
Trinity Germanys one hope
lies in that Trinity.
All hope in invisible interces-
sion must be put away. Fear of
the doom that awaits them must
be inspired in the breast of all
who oppose Germany. In that
lies her salvation. She must
trust in no other. The struggle
for unity would be its own COM
pensation. When that is accom-
plished, Germany can dispense
her favors and can defy her en-
emies-and the invisible God.
And what has been the result Of
this religious relapse
The terrible record Of suicides
which appeared daily in the news
papers, especially Of women, Accord
ing to statistics, secretly passed
about i'm medical circles for fear Of
repression by the government, sui
cides have Increased to 40.2 per 100,-

@GolNe INTO CHICKEN BUsl-
NESS.

Few city men have not had the
vision, at some time, Of going into
the chicken business.
Just as every American thinks that
he could write play or a novel, III
he just had the time to give to IT.,
so every American has, at some time,
held the belief that he could make
fortune raising chickens, by Starting
in with a few hens.
Il works out beautifully on paper,
but the trouble is that the hens are
temperamental creatures. They have
a habit of refusing to lay when eggs
are high, and laying when eggs are
hardly worth collecting-although
these latter days are nothing but a
memory now.
They also have a habit of contract
ing diseases, and of demanding GER
tain kinds of careful feeding.
Amateurs who go into the business
with high hopes, do one of two things.
They decide that there is no money
in the chicken business and quit, or
they decide that it requires the same
careful application that any other
business does, and they stick and
make money in proportion to the
amount of their investment and the
energy and perseverance they put in
to it.
But either as a sideline on a farm,
or as a business in itself, chicken
raising returns certain and generous
profits to the man who conducts it
tntelligently.
In war times. when food is so
scarce and SO precious, there is no
line Of food production which is
capable of such quick and such I'M
limited expansion. For that reason
both the farmers who will be in Far
go this week, and the back-lot chick
en- raisers should welcome the poultry
show this week, for it offers an
opportunity for studying the various
breeds and profting by the experience
OF other expert poultry raisers.

HANS OLSON OF MINNESOTA.

Then give to the world the
best that you have,
And the best will come back to
you.
America means to you just what
you put into it.
She returns what you give her.
One man sees a nation where every
mans arm is raised against him;
where every man is a hypocrite and
a CRATER; nation whose professions
of freedom and equality are a mock
cry.
Another man sees his fellow men
as kindly human beings. subject to
human faiIings, but honest and sim
ceres a nation with high ideals.
Life Is mirror. It reflects a world
coIored by our own thoughts.
That is why we like this story,
from The Wood Lake Mimi, News,
about Hans Olson:
An interesting story is told Of
one Of the old pioneer farmers of
Minnesota Falls when he was en-
A0AAtAEAEAA Ag a9AAE&AQAH lOE the
NJ G. A. fund. The farmer is
Hans Olson. The solicitors drove.
into Mr.. Olson's yard just as he
was loading a wagon box with
wheat and asked him IL he wished
to give something for the sol
diers. Hans replied.
Certainly I will give some
thing 1 am loading a big load OF
wheat and / will give you half

MANS STOICISN
REMARKABLE In
EYES OF NURSE
Sister Of Judge Coffey of
jamestown Writes of
Work at Front
TONNES" ARE
VERY BRAVE
Cambria Push Brought
Many Terribly Wounded
Men to Hospitals

jamestown, N. D., Jan. II. 81
really never had an idea of what q
man could stand until / saw with my
own eyes," writes a sister OF Judge
Coffey of the Stutsman county dis
trict court, under date Of Dec. ~
from France. She left the United
States with the base hospital unit Of
Columbia university.
THE 'Tommies' are wonderful
patients, but their wounds are
awful" says Judge 'Coffeys sister.
They all, or nearly all, take every
thing so cheerfully and stand the
most terrible dressings without a
word. OF course, occasionally we
have boy who has lost his nerve
and can't stand much, but it is
usually after a long term of serv-
ice.
Black Cross Is Erected.
Il certainly have great admiration
for them and pray that our boys can
be just as brave, and am sure they
will. Today went to a funeral Of
a young man who died in our ward.
The body was put in a pine box
draped with the Union Jack and
carried through the streets to the
old French graveyard by our enlist
ed men. Each church has a chaplain
here-that is, the Catholic church of
England, and non-c onformists. Most
of the non-conformists are Presby-
terians. The chaplain conducts the
services, of course. then black
wooden cross is put up for each
soldier The church yard is beautiful
ly kept.
1.-THE Cambria push brought us
some very hard work, and the men
were terribly wounded. Then on the
side we are practicing for a musical
comedy. So our days are more than
full.
Our reception here was something
never to be forgotten. The base hos
pital band met us at the edge Of the
village and escorted us to the hos
pital building, all the nurses, medical
officers, enlisted men, patients able
to be up, and village people follow
ing.
Summer Hotels Used.
1.-THE country around here is beau
tiful. Our hospital is well equipped
and very mfortable-summer hotels
being used for them. This is a very
famous old summer town and the
villas belong to the artists and smart
people of Paris and other cities. Eggs
are Il cents apiece so are not served
very often.
Many of the nurses have volun-
teered for service in the casualty
clearing stations and more than a
dozen have already been up. There
they are just behind the fighting
lines and get the cases right of the
fields. 1t was in one Of these that
one of our nurses was hit was piece
of shrapnel and lost an eye. She
is back at work again now. / am
crazy to get up there, and shall go If
possible even if it is risky business.
IF there are people in your town
who want to do a little to really add |
to the comfort of our men, nothing |
could be of better use than |
any kind. 1t is so hard |
to keep them amused and the days |
are SO long lying in bed. The post |
age is very little and if sent to me |
will be put to the best advantage and |
they would certainly be greatly APP |

BURLEIGH COUNTY TO
Aid THE NEEDY FARMERS
County Commissioners Pass ResoIu-
ton Authorizing Bond Issue Up
to 100000.

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. a. The
Burleigh county commission late
Thursday afternoon adopted a
resolution authorizing the Issuance
Of seed warrants up to the amount
of 100000 for the relief of Burleigh
county farmers who may need assist
ance.
Petitions bearing ESQ to 300 sigma
lures were presented from sections
OF the county which were hardest hit
during the last year by drouth or
hail. Some of these petitions were
introduced by j. M. Brander, county
agent, while others came in by mail
One hundred signatures would have
been sufficient to, authorize the ac-
tion taken by the board.
The commission does not believe
that 100000 will be required to care
for the seed and feed needs of Bur-
leigh county farmers, but warrants
can, be issued to this maximum II
necessary.

BILE, for the fall term of the normal
