Thoughts Have CIashed

"Autocratic thought and democratic thought have clashed, and when this war has ended one or the other will be supreme. Unless we can make our way more effective than autocracy we must yield to its sway. Kings, presi- dents, prime ministers and. generals are but pawns that circumstance has placed upon this chessboard of fate The big thing is that history is repeat ing itself. As centuries ago the then civilization joined hands to turn back Attila and his horde of barbarous Huns, so today civilization is joining hands to turn back the same Hun as eXemplified in the German military autocracy. As a victory for Attila and his horde some centuries ago would have halted civilization, so a victory this century would stifle the march of democracy-the rule of the l peOplpr

Sing at Danrer

As I watched the train fade into the distance, l remembered that moon light night out in the Atlantic when the transport Tuscania, ladened with the precious freight of American boys was torpedoed by one of those Hun wasps of the seas. And I saw those boys, from Maine to California, from our own State of Arizona, as they full filled the traditions of the past, and bravely waited their turn for the life boats. Every true American, with his sorrow for those who failed to find a place in lifeboats, can feel wonder full pride in that type of American boy hood, who can stand at the rail of a sinking ship, which is carrying him to a certain death, and yet with clear voice sing: Where do we go from here bCys?"

Tribute to Womanhood

May God grant that the totterins autocracy of Germany will have fallen into the basket of oblivion be- fore much of the manhood of this na- ton shall have been sacrificed in the trenches of France. But, if that can not be, we here today have solemn pride in knowing that theirs will be the labor of heroism and that they will acquit themselves as in the days of 1776 and 1865. And to the woman hood of America our country calls, ana a million Florence Nightingales re- spond. Silently going about their work, hiding their heartaches and tears, giving of their blood, their sons ana husbands, upon the altar of freedom. You women of America, we salute you* The grandest and noblest race ot wom- snhood lcncath the skies today"

But l will tell you why Germany cannot win. God never fights upon the side that speaks with a lying tongue;
 that knows no honor. keeps no pledg,
 sacred. He never fights on the side that turns its soldiers loose to rape and loot. That poisons wells and food supplies; that destroys his churches and cathedrals; that torpedoes hos pital boats, filled with wounded men that bombs hospitals back of the battle lines: that drives hundreds and thous- ands of girls from their homes and

Work of Y. M. c. A.

T read a letter the other day, writ ten by a man identified with Y. NJ c. A., work in France. He said q wish I could make you people of Amer ica understand and know how our boys have been transfigured. To some it has meant a spiritual awakening. I have seen boys from the slums and the alleys and out of the way places of the world and. from whom their communi- ties expected no good, change into men of character and purpose. The other day. after battle. I saw staggering toward me, a wounded boy carrying on his back a wounded comrade Both were covered with blood and the filth of the trenches. As I watched them I could not keep back the tears. Yet, as he passed me, he looked up into my face andEsmiled" Such a smile as might have passed the lips of our Saw four upon the Cross And when think of the determination, the bravery, the sacrifice of those American boys on the way to the training camp. on the decks of the Tuscania, in the blood of No Mans Land-I ask myself the question: Will they whip the Hun? and the answer comes from deep down within me. They will.
 Must Fight at Home
 Those boys are flag makers. So are you. They fight in the trenches of France that democracy might live You must fight here to give them the strength with which to carry on their battle. Their work, their sacrifices loom no larger on the flag than the sweat from the brow of the factory worker. No greater than the tired muscles of those who labor on the farms and in the bowels of the earth no greater than the clerk with tired brain who has given his efforts in hon est work; no larger than the tired washerwoman who struggles through years of toll that her boy may have

Were [ word painter I would paint for you the history of those pilgrim fathers But no painter Of words can truly tell the story of the patriotism of those rough and ready men as they fought their war of inde- pendence against the tyrannical rule Of a half-cra Hanoverian king and his plundering ministry. Their deeds Of sacrifice have been written in their own blood upon the pages of history. The blood they left in the snows of Valley Forge is but an incident among their many sufferings. Half naked, starving and freezing, it is little won der that George Washington prayed to the Heavenly Father for a great vic tory to bring hope to those faltering spirits.
 And his prayer was answered Some one said: Those heroes are dead They sleep in the land they made free. under the solemn pines. the sad hemlocks. the fearful willows and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds. careless alike of sunshine or storm, each in the windowless palace of rest

F Germany Wins

What would happen to us should Germany win? Kipling has answered
 Every relation. every understanding, every deccncy upon which civilization has been so anxiously built, would go, would be washed out, because it will have been proven unable to endure. The whole idea of democracy-which at bottom is what the Huns fight against-will be dismissed from mems minds, because it will have been shown incapable of maintaining itself against the Hun. It will die, and it will die discredited, together with ev- cry belief and practice that is based upon it. The Hun idea VII take it's place throughout the world. Under that dispensation man will become once more the natural prey, body ana goods, of his better armed neighbor. Women will be the mere instrument for continuing the breed. Labor will become a thing to be knocked on the head if it dares to give trouble and worked to death if it does not The earth will become hell without hope"

The styles and customs are somewhat
queer and curious to us and wooden
shoes are very common. but in this
case we are the foreigners and have
no right whatever to make remarks.
The trip on the steamer was great
and very few of the boys were sea
sick, and must admit that l was
among the few. With a few excep-
lions the sea was very calm and for
days 1t was Just as smooth as Bear
Lake, but on the few exceptions the
breakers rolled high and the deck
was awash frequently while the boys
would receive a free bath. We saw
a few fish. but none that we're extra
large though we watched closely. The
boys are feeling fine and are just Cor
rather nearby as happy and cheerful
as they were while in Kemmerer. We
gre pretty lucky bunch for we are
well CHARTERED and have plenty to
eat.
The country around where we are
reminds me of the Dfngle and Eden
Hills. Lieutenant WEIGH often speaks
of the goose you shot for him and IL

back we have a big game hunt
planned on Gray's river. He sure in

because nothing is looked forward to

you all remain,

OLDEST EUROPEAN ROYALTY.

Though the late Emperor Francis
Joseph was the oldest reigning GOV.
ereign in Europe, he was not the
oldest royalty, says London Tit-Bits.
The Empress EugeRie is four years
older, while the dowager grand
duchess of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, the
grandmother Of the grand duke, waa
eight years older. Thus the last sur.
viving grandchild Of George III was
the oldest royalty in Europe, the
elder sister of the late duke Of Cam
bridge, and consequently the aunt Of
Queen Mary Of England. It was on
tune %, 1843, that her marriage
took place at Buckingham palace.
She received an annuity of SIS, 900 O
year from the British exchequer,
which, being paid since for the period
3f 70 years, would amount to the
tidy sum of 81, 095, 900. But when
he war broke out it was announced
that the annuity, as the lady was liv.
ing in Germany, would be stopped.

itself bound to rid the town of this
iniqutous business, but no doubt, with
