Shortly before the war a German naval squadron
was visiting a Japanese port. The admiral and mem
bers OF his staff were officially invited to 20 over the
arsenal Among other things they We're allowed TO see
some of the famous shimose. the Japanese high explos-

tunity to steal a handful Of the powder. lie put it in his
trousers pocket and found on returning 10 his ship that
his best gala trousers were ruined, as grains Of the pow
der had stained the garments an ugly yellow.
The precious pinch OF powder was sent by special
courier from the German embassy to Berlin, where II
was analyzed and found to be a most innocent com
pound colored with ground mustard, The willy Japan
csc. knowing their guests, had Judged it prudent to sub
stitute his harmless compound for the real shimose.

WHAT THE PEOPLE DEMAND.

The people Of America have been reading a good
deal about certain department ineffciency and red tape
AZ Washington.
II a soldier. or an officer, breaks military law. he is
cashiered; il they are deficient they are discharged.
Big men in Washington who have worn out the seat
Of their breeches in the swivel chair should be made to
either get results or get out.
The American people realize the necessity of a big
army.
They are ready 70 nay war taxes. They send their
hoys 10 The camps from the four quarters of the repub-
lie. They are doing their part and they demand thai
congress and the administration heads do their part as
well.
And they must do it. and do it at once.

Of labor for wage increases and shorter hours, and every
effort to be made 10 provide labor with recreation IA
cinties, proper housing accommodations and adequate
transportation.
In return for this the right to strike, apprenticeship
systems and closed shop demands must be held in abey

shops Will cause little concern 10 organized labor during
the war. As labor has a government guarantee for prae-
tically everything for which it strikes. il ought 10 saw

But Why does not the government make some guar

THIS IS THE WAY TO DO THINGS.

The food administration issued a notice yes
terday urging consumption Of more eggs, pota-
toes and fish Then il slashed the prices or all
three commodities.
Urging consumption Of certain foods and then pro,
tecting on prices is the right procedure. II stands out
in contrast with the eatrice campaign last spring. when
potatoes were scarce. No sooner did people turn to rice
than the price OF that commodity doubled. thanks to a
sterling lot OF American rice raisers and wholesale
grocers.

LUTHERAN CHURCH WORK.
National Lutheran Commission fol
Soldiers md Sailors Welfare.

At meeting Of delegates Of this
commission in Pittsburg last week
President Wilson sent the following
message:
II learn Of the service planned by,
the Lutheran Commission for SOL
diers' and Sailors Welfare with
great deal Of interest and need not
assure you that 1t has by best
Wishes"
A message was also received from
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, giving
his endorsement, together with 9TH
ers in official positions in the army
and army camps.
The need Is urgent, as our men
are leaving all the while for France,
and what Is done must be done i'm
mediately.
A canvass is to be made OF the
whole Lutheran church in the United
States from the 18th to the 25th Of
February. The purpose is to reach
all the Lutheran people in our land,
and any others who are moved to aid
in rendering this Christian service to
our men in the army and navy. If
the church does not go with her men
when they are leaving their homes
for new friends and foreign lands, 1t
will have lost one Of its greatest op-
portunities for service and for
strength in the future.
It is estimated that there are from
10000 to 100000 Lutheran men in
the service now. At least 5000 Of
these men are In the camp at Angus
ia, Ca, and nearly all the other
camps are in the South. II a Chris
tian has any faith in the Gospel he
has confessed as a power for help in
time of need, the time has come to
prove that profession. The lives Of
those men need the grace OF God and
the ministrations of the church.
The government will soon ask you
to release some of your money for
bonds and certificates; the Y.M.C.A.
and the Red Gross will also ask for
help. Their needs are great and will
appeal to the patriotism OF our peo-
pie. Here Is Christ and His. church.
Kingdoms will rise and fail; His
Grace shall endure through all the
ages. A Christian cannot be less
loyal to Him and His Kingdom than
he Is to the Kingdoms of this world.
Very few homes have not an inter-
est, by ties Of blood, in some boy who
has gone out.
Help the church to stay with him
all the way and bring him back to
you clean in heart and soul.
The budget for the immediate
needs of this commission amounts to
$750,000 That is in tho plan for
one years work. The aim is to raise
this sum next week. w. b. Aull.

Abdul Hamid was for 33 years
