Ours Is a Fools Paradise

We have been living in a fools
paradise. The war has been remote
to us. Our interest in 1t has been
academic. With the English and
French between us and the Ger
mans, many of us have been con-
tent to await the play of internal
forces in Germany and Austria.
With show of military effort in
France we have put our faith in
joint debate and in our power by
honeyed words to drive wedge be-
tween the Kaiser and his people.
This great drive has been a rude
awakening. We are rubbing our
eyes and asking: IF they break
through, then whatv' The answer
is:
1--WE shall be left naked to our
enemies"
If the Germans were to take Paris
and double the English Army in
confusion back upon the Channel,
what would become of our little
Army? We would still have the
English Navy and our own to pro-
tect our own skins on this side for
the time. But the danger of a sep
rate peace with France and the
pressure for a general peace, with
the triumphant Hohenzollern hav-
ing O large part of Europe under his
control, would make the future for
us dark indeed. The drive makes
us see these things face to face.
People who laughed at the sugges-
ton of five or seven millions of men
for our Army are beginning to see
light.-Ex-Preside Taft in Pub
lie Ledger.

Gern1an-Born Scholar Says
War Against Kaiser Is Holy

the pinnacle into the pit; why I am
transfiXed with the conviction that
our war against Germany is holy
war from which we must and VIII
emerge Victoriously.
THE reason is this: Germany has
denied and repudiated the beatitude
which forms our text. Jesus says,
Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the EARTH The meek are
the mighty! But modern Prussia
says, Blessed are the mighty, for
they shall possess the earth The
meek are the weak. Prussia said it,
and, alas Germany believed it. For
80 years and more, though we un-
derstood it not, Prussia has played
the role of Satan. She has showed
Germany all the Kingdoms of this
wordl-colonies, commerce, con-
quest; and she has said. all this shall
be thine, if thoE wilt worship
might"
The particular significance of DR..
Herman's conclusion will be under
stood, when it is explained that until
recently, his church was known as
the German Reformed. 1t was a
direct offspring of the, German Re-
formation and it fostered the Ger
man Language in this country with
fond persistency, using it in hymns
and sermons. The last religious
stronghold of German language and
traditions, it might be called, and
the attitude of this one distinguished d
theologian has already resulted in a
permanent breaking away from both
on the part of nearly 100000 COM
municant members.

LIGHT is BREAKING THRU

There is-or ought to bean ele-
mentary principle of dynamics that
the violence of an explosion is di-
rectly proportionate to the force of
compression which is employed to
confine it. If the administration at
Washington had taken this principle
into account, it would not have in
vited the outburst which rocked the
senate wing of the capitol last Tues
day and leveled the wall of secrecy
built to hide from the American
people gross and indefensible def
ciencies in the management of the
war.
Loyal public servants like Senator
Chamberlain, the Democratic chair
man of the committee on military
affairs, had already done much to
acquaint the nation with the danger
Gus conditions caused by official
lethargy and Incompetence; leading
newspapers, although hampered by
the rigid policy of concealment, had
brought to light some of the worst
results of neglect; but now that the
Senate has begun to tell the truth
to the country and demand 1t from
the Government, it may be hoped
that the era of organized deception
is at an nd.-Philadelphia North

tact inflicted cash six miles long

as a complete and effective remedy
for all such outhursts. 'Wallop the

HER PRAYER

We've fallen back oh! Christ, along
the way
That faith has led us for thousand
years;
The old Hebraic tables blind our
eyes,
And death and terror scorch our
falling tears.
Thou wilt forgive us, Christ. If we
forget
Forsake Thee in this chaos for a
while,
And shout before the old Hebraic
God :.
Do battle for the grim Jehovah's
SMILE.
The times are i'll accorded with Thy
When hell has left the molten gates
And we are only women in the
breach,
With all our little sons gone out to
war.
Jehovah! give us men! Make men of
these
Flesh of our flesh (the man child
that you sent)
We held them, clasped them, would
not lee them go,
Until we saw the laws of nations
rent.
We only know then, God, as comely
lads,
Bound up with all our Joy and care
and pain;
But Thou wilt steel their sinews with
Thy might,
And make them fit. and send them
back again.
Jehovahl day and night we cry to
Thee,
We're only women on the ramparrs
hurled;
Give back our sons! but not until the
light
OF Liberty is shot around the world!
