patly for the criminal, we fail to pun
ish crime, by this very act we commit
q crime.
/. Tn failing to punish the criminal, the
moral forces Of any community are
weakened and encouragement is given
to others to commit crime, not merely
because in this way they are led to
believe that sin will not be punished,
but because the hideousness OF sin ts
not driven home to them.
Every unpunished crime condoned
BY weakly sentimenialty is a di-
rect stab at the very heart of the
moral life of a community or coun-
try.
Every unpublished robber is an en-
couragement to others to rob.
To condone sin and to permit crime
10 90 unpunished, would be the most
forceful blow which civilization could
make ut the moral law of the uni
verse.
Justice, stern, unbeuding justice, in
the punishment OF crime is prereq-
uisite to the strengthening of the
moral forces of q community or ot a
nation.
Unpunished crime breeds more
crime. The unpunished, unrepentan,
sinner ia an encouragement to bring
forth other sins, not only in the sim
ner himself, but In the whole commu'
nifty.
Without the punishment OF the
criminal no community could be saved
from complete moral degradation and
ultimate rottenness. The community
that condones and overlooks blatant
sin is doomed to moral death.

Soldiers Much Safer Than in the Civil
War

Surgeon General Gorgas says in the
March American Magazine:
General Gorgas' reply was quick,
clear and confident.
"'There seems to be an impression in
this country that to fight in the present
war means almost sure death TO a sol
der AZ matter of fact, both in the
danger from disease and in the deadli
ness of the actual fighting there is no
comparison between the war IN Europe
to-day and our Civil war.
I'm the Civil war our mortality was
something over five per cent for the four
wears. It is true that the French ar
mics suffered almost exactly the same
death losses during the first five months
Of this war But people must not for
get that those first five months were
the most disastrous period especially
for the allies, who were unprepared in
every way.
BY 1916 the French had reduced
their mortality to only about two per
cent for twelve months! That IS rate
Of only twenty per thousand. Even in
civil life a rate OF thirteen to fifteen per
thousand is usual Therefore it is evil
dent that the additional war risk is sur
prisingly low

Civil war-such battle as Gettysburg,
for instance-a third of the men engaged
were left on the field You cannot find
