ONE MUTE STORY OF THE WAR
Sunny Nieuport on tho User, a Little
City Of 1000, Among Others
Wiped Out Of Existence.

Newport lies upon the User, the tidal
stream that stopped the German rush
for Calais, writes William Townsend
Porter In the Atlantic Monthly. That
June before the world went mad, the
peaceful town drowsed in the sun-the
pearly Belgian sun that painters love.
The men went down to the sea In their
fishing boats, or worked their fields;
old women, their lace upon their knees,
sat in a patch of shade before the door
and piled their bobbins; children, with
shrill sweet voices darted about like
birds; the creaking vain went to and
fro piled high with the harvest.
-Four thousand simple folk Not one
remains Their houses, too, are gone.
Their ancient church. their historic
tower, are mounds OF ruin. And still
the Kissing shells, hour by hour, day by
day, tear down the crumbling walls,
adding fresh ruin to scene most DESC
late.
The people Of the sun are gone. An
other race inhabits there. They live
In holes beneath the ground. They
come not forth except to kill.

THE FUTURE CITY

The progressive city of the future
must be dry city. Hereafter no city
without Prohibition can hope to Sc
cure worthy and worthwhile enter
prises in competition with other cities
which have banished the bar-rooms.
The powerful example of the u. S.
government giving preference to dry
cities for the carrying on of its su-
premely important work will be fol.
lowed by private industries both great
and small. Even after national Pro-
hibition comes to all cities by adop-
ton of the constitutional amendment,
all places that did not free them
selves from the liquor traffic will be
handicapped for years to come. By
clinging to the wasteful, corrupting,
demoralizing saloon system to the
last all such places will advertise to
the world that the citizens there do
not have a proper regard for the
clean conditions without which no
modern industry can thrive.

In small Illinois town, several

wet at the local option election. He
thought saloons were needed to slim
ulate business, but in spite of this
his conscience troubled him greatly.
He could not help thinking constant
ly after he cast his ballot and before
the result was known, what if the
vote is close and my vote keeps sa-
looms in this town, then viii be re-
sponsible for all the harm they may
do"
The town did go wet by a narrow
margin. This young man afterwards
