the Son of man also confess before
the angels of God. Luke 1913.
There are great many ways of
letting people know that you are a
Christian. You can speak of it by
your words and by your deeds.
Sometimes it is true that factions
speak louder than words" No man
ought to be ashamed to speak of his
father, however, and it ought to be
easy 10 speak for our Father in
heaven. Our words are no better
than our deeds make them. Emer-
son we'll says: THAT you do speaks
so loudly that cannot hear what
you say"
Even if a man feels very humble
about his life, he ought to be of some
service in reporting the beauty of
Christ's life and in helping people
to find him. SIN the northwestern
Chinese province of Kansu there are
great stretches of entirely unoccu-
pied barren land. For the guidance
of travellers the Government has set
up posts in these districts, with di-
rections as to the road painted on
them. Lanterns are hung on the
posts at night, with characters tell
ing the way. Lanterns and posts are
alike of the poorest material, other
wise they would be stolen; but little
worth though they be (''good-for-
nothing posts" they are called), they
serve their purpose; they guide the
wayfarer. The Chinese have hap

some time to live Christian life |
without letting soul know it-at
home, in school, or anywhere else.
The conviction was now forced upon
me that / must openly acknowledge
my purpose; but that was precisely
the hardest thing in the world to do.
If known in the home, my many |
shortcomings and especially my fits
of temper would appear all the more
glaring in the light of my newly ex-
pressed purpose. If known at school,
should doubtless attract abundant
ridicule, for / should be singular.
There was not boy in the village
who professed to be Christian. /
was not aware at the time of the full
significance of the struggle. / did not
know that it was the great turning
point of my life.
The specific question which came
to me was: "Are you willing to go
to the Young Peoples Meeting next
Tuesday evening, stand on your feet,
and say that you desire and intend
to live Christian life?" If others
were taking the step, or if the pastor
would only give an invitation, it
would be so much easier. But there
was no special regilious interest in
the church or the community; the
help of an invitation would not be
given; every one would be startled;
and in that little village world it
would be proclaimed on the housetop
the next day. Such prospect to a
diffident boy of thirteen was simply
appalling, but my mind was made up
and l said, "I'll do it," Instantly the
distress had long felt vanished, and
strange, unspeakable peace pos
sessed me.
Phblic preaching is a part of the
confession of Christ which is needed
today. "How shall men hear with
out preacher?" If Christ's watch,
men fail to speak, the people in dark
ness will not know the truth. At
tendance at church assists in the con-
fession of Christ. Many who go there
will be led to think of better things
and to realize their duty to God. The
world would be infinitely poorer if
it had no churches, with their whole
some messages of encouragement
and admonition. Z.

during this entire counter offensive
the American divisions which | have
told you about before have been con-

at our last official accounts
with reference to the American
programme, ! have directed to be or
ganized in the United States six new
divisions in the month Of July. These
six divisions will be organized at
Camps Devens, Meade, Sheridan, Gus
ter, Funston and Lewis, and will be
numerically designated from up to ID.
In the organization of these divisions
we intend to use as a nucleus in each
one of them two regular regiments of
infantry, which have been taken from
the regular regiments still left in the
United States guarding utilities, quietly
replacing them during the last month
or two by Home Guards.
These regiments are now moving
into the designated camps as the Ma
tional Army moves out, and the divi-
sions will be an increase to the Amer
lean forces. The remaining elements
of these divisions will be formed by
National Army drafted men.

will be inevitable.

maintenance of German fortified posi-

President Wilson has already OWNED
the German desire to conclude a peace
on tho basis of her treaties in the East
and the President has also made plain
that such a peace would not be accept

No Annexations or

Opening of Coaling Sta
tions Asked at Gibraltar
and Suez Canal

AMSTERDAM. July 24.-Germany
has made suggestions for peace con-
ference to the Spanish government
says the Socialist "Vorwaerts," of Ber-
lin. The suggestions are:
First, Germany wants no annexa-
tons or indemnities in the West.
Second. the peace treaties with Rus
sia and Rumania may not be ques-
toned
Third. the principle of self -determi
nation OF peoples has not been dis
cusset.. but may be settled at the peace
conference. where the Fate of Belgium
also is to be settled.
Fourth. the Balkan question is to be
settled around the conference table.
Fifth. the freedom of the seas, the
dismantling of Gibraltar and the Suez
Canal and the right of Germany to use
them for coaling stations.
Sixth. the colonial question is to be
settled on the basis OF the status quo.
The "Norwaerts" considers this a
very reasonable peace programme.
The term "status quo" applied in the
foregoing to the German colonial ques-
ton is an abbreviation of the term
status quo ante bellum." Germany's :
position heretofore, as indicated by her
leading statesmen, has been one Of in

To Punish Generals

PARIS, July 24.-Drastic punish
ment will be visited upon officers of
the rank of general for negligence and
noncompliance with orders, under a
new bill which was introduced in the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday. The
bill, as published, provides that any
general commanding force in the
presence of the enemy, who, by negli-
gence, non compliance with regula-
tions or disobedience or orders, fails
to accomplish task assigned to him,
or who loses or jeopardizes troops en-
trusted to him or those he is charged
to support, or who loses a position he
is ordered to defend, may be punished
by dismissal from the army and i'm
prsonment from two to five years, if
the fault is inexcusable. A reduction
in rank is also provided for by the
bill.
Accused generals have the right to
appeal their cases to the Court of Cas-
SatlOn.
