ITO CIVILIANS

| 1O CIVILIANS "The Minister of the Interior advises civilians in case the en- emy should show himself in their district:
 Mot to fight;
 "To utter no insulting or threatening words; "To remain within their houses and close the windows; :; so that it will be impossible to allege that there was any prov ocation;
 "To evacuate any houses or isolated hamlet which the sol diers may occupy in order to defend themselves, so that it cannot be alleged that civilians have fired;
 "An act of violence commit ted by a single civilian would be a crime for which the law pro- vides arrest and punishment. It is all the more reprehensible that it might serve as a pretext for measures of oppression, re- sulting in bloodshed or pillage, or a massacre of the innocent population with the women and children"
 In the hope of arousing the sympathy and securing the aid of the neutral nations, the Belgian government appointed a committee to ascertain the facts about German practices. The evidence collected by the Belgian commissioners is de- tailed and explicit, and their re- ports give names, places, and dates. It is not possible, how ever to include in this pamph- let more than the following summary of the charges they make against the Germans
 q. That thousands of un- offending civilians, including women and children, were mur- dered by the Germans.
 "2. That women had been outraged.
 "3. That the custom of the German soldiers immediately on entering a town was to break into wine shops and the cellars of private houses and madden themselves with drink.
 A. That German officers and soldiers footed on a gigan- tic and systematic scale, and, with the connivance of the Ger man authorities, sent back large part of the booty to Ger many.
 '5. That the pillage had been accompanied by wanton de- struction and by bestial and sacrilegious practices.
 "6. That cities, towns, will lages, and isolated buildings were destroyed.
 "7. That in the course of such destruction human beings were burnt alive.
 "8. That there was a uni form practice of taking hostag- es and thereby rendering great of admittedly innocent people responsible for the alleged wrong-doings of others.
 "9. That large numbers of civilian men and women had | been virtually enslaved by the Germans, being forced against their will to work for the ene- mics of their country, or had been carried off like cattle into Germany, where all trace of hem had been lost.
 "10. That cities, towns and villages had been fined and heir inhabitants maltreated be- cause of the success gained by he Belgian over the German soldiers.
 "11. That public monu- nents and works of art had ,een wantonly destroyed by the invaders.
 "l2. And that generally the of the Hague Con- erence and the customs of civ lized warfare had been ignor- d by the Germans, and that other breaches of such ] and customs, the Germans had adopted new ; md inhuman practice of driv- ng Belgian men women and hlldren- before them as a creen between them and the .llied soldiers"

PAYING OF BONUSES

 MINE OPERATORS.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 16.-Presi dent Hayes, of the United Mine Work CTS, said the labor trouble has been caused by the mine owners paying bonuses in excess of the wage scale in order to obtain and keep miners in their mines. Mr Hayes statement continues
 The practice has become so vide spread that the stability of the entire industry is threatened and the coal operators themselves are becoming alarmed at their own handiWOrk.
 The fuel administration is con ducting inyestgatios to find out tho reasons for the condition and the identity of operators who are bidding for labor by the payment of bonuses. toned the fuel administration 10 save them fromthe disastrous results of the bonus system.
 If bonuses are eliminated from the pay envelopes of the miners now re ceiying them the industry will lose thousands so necessary to maintain ing production, to say nothing of the nations demand for greatly in- creased output
 "lf wages are not increased to those not now receiving bonuses 10 the equivalent of the bonuses now being received by other miners, then the industry faces q sure and certain ioss of needed man power"
 MT Hayes then refers to a confer ence between officials of the fuel ad- ministraton and the international or iicers of the United Mine Workers held in Washington July % and 20, and quotes a letter addressed to pr II. A. Garfield. United States fuel ad- ministrator, and signed by President Hayes, Vice President John l.

est blessings our Heavenly Father has in
store for His earthly children. That is the
only way to develop our faculties to the great
est extent There is no other. When we la
Dor for humanity we receive an inspiration
beside which all others fade into significance.
For instance, look at the work of Paul the
Apostle. From the hour of his calling until
jhis last day he was ever willing to endure
imprisonment and even death, that the good
news of the Gospel of Christ might be car
Iried to all people, He thought never of him
lself, but always of how he might be bless
ing to others, and for this purpose he finally
gave his life.
Recall, also, the unselfsh life of Alfred the
Great. His was life of loving labor and
service. He desired not his own glory and
power, but he sought the welfare and happi-
ness of his people; and before his earthly
days were finished he had the joy of seeing
his dreams realized and his labor rewarded.
Then, there is Gladstone = the "Grand Old
Man" of the British Empire " who lived and
worked to Danish from his country the op-
preston of autocratic rule
I might likewise mention the heroic sacri-
flee of Lincoln, as well as the life of service

These men gave their lives to the work of bet
tering humanity. Should we do less?
But, you say, 1--WE cannot do what those
men have done. How then are we to receive
such blessing as was theirs?'
My friends, we have learned that the only
way is to undertake our allotted tasks with
cheerful, resolute spirits, giving glory and
thanks for whatever we accomplish to God,
Who will see that our reward is sure. Though
that work should seem obscure and humble,
there is no reason to become discouraged be-
cause it does not appear that we are doing
anything to benefit humanity. All stations
in life are necessary links in the great chain
OF national and economic existence. It is,
therefore, the spirit in which we take up our
duties rather than the duties themselves,
that counts.
Now, although the modest, unpretentious
positions are indispensable cogs in the ma
chinery of this worlds affairs, and conse-
quently there is no disgrace attached to them,
entirely too many people are satisfied in fill
ing them. When this condition exists in a
person, we may usually be sure that that one
has lost, or never had, the ambition to do
something for others.
Therefore, we should take care to keep alive
the desire, not only to help others but to at
tain ourselves to the responsible positions
which are calling for competent well-trained
men and women. We should not be afraid to
aim high, for, as Browning said, "A mans
reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a
heaven for;" and if we follow his advice it
will not be the fault of our aspirations if we
fail to attain to our objective.
So, during the past years, we have been
preparing to occupy the positions which de-

ciples of righteous living; a school which
from the beginning was planned to teach it's
students, along with other lessons, and as a
foundation, the principles of life of service
to our God through service to our fellow
men, and thus prepare for life Eternal Our
duty now is, to nourish the good seed which
has been sown within us and let it grow and
be fruitful, as we go on in life
Looking into your many kind and interest
ed faces, tonight, I am inspired with the
thought that we ourselves are receiving a
welcome far deeper in meaning than that
which I offer as I bid you welcome to our
program. The memory of this response will

Tonight we stand on the threshold of a
new life Each of us has successfully fin
ished the race begun with so much confidence
a few years ago. It has cost us much work
and the application of will power to be able
to reach the immediate goal ahead. There
were times when we wondered if the prize
would be worth the effort which has been the
necessary price, But we overcame every OBJ
stacle, and are now ready to step forward and
receive what Life has to offer us, whether it
be to begin at once on our lfe's work or to
make further preparation for it.
But what then? We must be exceedingly
careful how we put to work the talents God
has given us if we would receive the blessings
He has scattered all along the pathway of our
future life. To use our talents for our own
selfish interests will benefit neither humanity
nor ourselves. The appearance of prosperity
that might come will be only a cloak which
will hide narrow, egoistic spirit. Such a
success will hinder and, at last, effectually
check spiritual growth.
On the other hand, to use our abilities for
God and our fellow men will open the win
dows of heaven and let fall upon us the rich

Bg Miss Hazel Laurence

Honorable President, Vic e-President,
Teachers, Fellow-Classmates Parents and
Friends:
We, the 18 of '18, extend to you, one and all,
a hearty welcome to this our Class Day pro-
gram.
We sincerely hope that after you have
listened to our Class Poet, Orator, Valedic-
torian and others you will depart with higher
aspirations, nobler thoughts and greater pur-
poses in life
During our Preparatory Course - and
yes, throughout the years spent in the
grades we have been looking forward to
this time, when, leaving our school days be-
hind, we are to step out from our sheltered
niche and take our respective places among
our fellow men in the work designed for us
by our Creator, whatever or wherever that
may be. We have tried, by doing our work
faithfully and well, to prepare ourselves for
this step and what may follow.
AS we come to this time when we are about
to depart from this institution, and we per-
ceive the wickedness of the world and know
what little success has attended the struggle
TO lead humanity out of sin and darkness, we
are thankful that it has been our privilege to
spend a little time, at least, in school whose
motto is, "In the Beginning God" - which
not only teaches us the theories of life, but is
constantly showing us how to apply the prin-

go with us on our life's journey to brighten
the future and spur us onward to that final
Goal which we all hope to reach.
Again I repeat how much we value your
presence here this evening, and we hope to
show our appreciation by living noble and
useful lives, and letting our Eight so shine
before men that they may see our good works
and glorify our Father which is in heaven"

The Class Day Program

t.. b.
The Glass Day Program of the Preparatory
Department of Zion Educational Institutions,
rendered on last Tuesday evening in Zion
College Chapel, was one of the highest order
throughout, and reflected the Zion ideals in
every respect. Those who were not present
missed something which would have inspired
and uplifted them, and given them broader
vision of the work done in Zion Schools.
The exercises reflected great credit upon
the President, the Vice-President, and the
Faculty, and upon the work accomplished by
the students during the school year. AS one
listened to the various items he felt impressed
with the evidences of careful training and of
the development of clean, sturdy, Christian
character.
A good audience was present. The plat
form was simply but tastefully decorated
with the class colors, = white and blue =
and with potted plants including red gerani-
ums in bloom. Suspended in an arch, was the
inscription "18 of '18", pertaining to the
graduating numbers of the class of 1918.
Hanging from overhead on either side, were
two American flags.
The exercises were opened by Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, President of Zion Educational In
stitutions, who read the First Six Verses of
the Third Chapter of Proverbs:
MY son, forget not my law; but let thine heart
keep my commandments:
length of days, and long life, and peace, shall
they add to thee.
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them
about thy neck write them upon the table of thine
heart:
So shalt thou find favor and good understanding
Ia the sight of God and
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean
not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall
direct thy paths.
The following Program was rendered.
