A Warlike Nation.

p eace more greatly than The people
of this country, it is also fact that
when it becomes necessary to N AXE
war-and that grim necessity oc
casionally arises-no more warlike
people can be found on the great
round globe. No people on the face
Of the earth can be more quickly
transformed from a peaceful people,
pursuing the ordinary avocations of
life, from a people many of whom
may never have had a gun in their
hands; many of whom never saw
even a company, let alone regi-
ment, a brigade or division Of
soldiers; many of whom never even
dr. resmed of being called to the col
ors. into soldiers capable of holding
their own on the battle line with
the trained and disciplined troops
of Germany or of any other nation
on earth.
In fact, they are more than capa
BILE of holding their own, for the
young American soldier does not
become a mere machine in becom-
ing soldier He is no less a citl-
zen of free and independent nation,
free and independent himself except
so far as he is bonnd to obey or be
obeyed in the performance of hi.
duty As soldier
Some soldiers fight became they
have to, because they are driven
into battle by their officers. Some
soldiers fight because they appear
to like fighting. Some soldiers
fight because of kind of bull dog
tenacity that prevents them fro,
letting 60 when thev have. once.
taken hold. The average AmeFi-
can soldier fights because he
knows what he is fighting for.
He would a great deal rather be
doing something else, except in the
heat of battle. and then, if he does
not absolutely love fighting, he
takes TO it as kindly as though he
would not exchange the duties OF
a soldier for any other occupation
on earth.
All this being the case, the peo-
pie of the United States nor the
peoples of the nations with which
this country is allied in this world
war need have no uneasiness,' need
entertain no doubt as to how the
American Army in France will
conduct itself on that western front.
And if the Germans, with soldiers
trained from their youth up, expect
to walk over American soldiers,
with but a years training or less.
they are going to be badly disap-
p pointed; in fact, they have already
run up against a number of disap-
pOintments.
This warlike spirit that comes to
the average American only when
war becomes an absolute necessity,
only when this nation must make
war or dastardly submit to any in.
suit and outrage that may be con.
temptuously bestowed upon it by q
supercillious and bullying auto
cracy, as is fully manifest in the
people of the United States, will
never be content until the rule OF

With the people of our country
now it is the last dollars, if that be,

pie are now a warlike people. The

a lOsd w8s removed from his mind
when he confessed to throwing his
wife from the train on June 13 Re-
ports on his movements since com
mitting the deed do not bear ou;
this statement, however, ss it ap.
pears he spent a pleasant day with
frierds in St Louis the following
Sunday and in the afternoon attend
ed ball game which. it is said he
enjoyed, at the very hour when buz
yards scared over the nude body of
the woman he had promised to
love, cherish and support" Any
natural father can understand and
appreciate what this mans feelings
and emotions might have been up
on hearing the confession of duplic
ity and infidelity he claims his wife
made to him on the fatal night. But
in that event and under those con.
ditions would he experience re
morse? If the sworn statement in
his confession is true why did he
seek to evade officers of the law,
and why did he not come boldly
forward with clean statement of
facts and place his trust in a jury
of twelve good men and true to say
whether or not the motherless child
was better off without such a moth
er? Again, if his confession be true,
why did he not first remove that
blOtch and curse upon the face of
Gods earth--the man whose name
he has not yet revealed? If his
confession be true. we have not Vue
jot of sympathy for the murdered
woman. For the wife aud mother
who so far fOrgets herself lis so
weak as to be influenced by one of
these beasts in human form, we can
say, may the Supreme Judge of all
things in the Heavens and upon the
earth judge you with compassion -
with leniency. 1t is a sad picture
to contemplate, this child of mis-,
fOrtune-the mother slain for inf.
deity, the father in a convict cell
while the fourth party to the drama
lives to wreck other homes. When
1t is remembered that no law covers
his crime-for crime it must be
except the unwritten law, is it any
wonder that this is at times resort
ed to and with vegeance? There
is not one good word that can be
said for the home. wrecker. The
hiehwayman, the horse thief, the
midnight assassin are each and all
far better than he; he is a walking,
moving, breathing lie, with a soul
blacker than the smutted walls of
hell itself. His thoughts by day
should be thoughts of woe and his
dreams at night dreams of despair.
The souls of his lost victims should
rise IN Out Of their oravas and
haunt his daily steps; they should
wave the torch of hell about his
bed at night until his affriehted
spirit should cry for mercy. Until
the laws of the states and the Unit
ed STATES are made to cover this
human Vulture we will and may
expect just such things as happen

reading of this sddress by the Secre-

He paints anew the ugly picture of
PruSsian arrogance, brutality and
fiendishness, and makes it plain
that there can be no possible COM

enduring peace with an enemy that
knows no honor, no composition or

Yet while America and her allies

A saving of 100000 tons of
coal will be required of private res
licences, apartment houses, churches
schools and commercial buildings
other than factories. To help effect
this saving the fuel administration
announced that it would put into
operation a plan similar to that in
Philadelphia, whereby no order for
coal by a domestic consumer will
be completely filled until approved
by the local fuel administrator.

parts OF the country.
Advertising companies and store
owners have insisted that display
lighting and display advertising were
legitimate industries and involved large
legitimate investment OF capital. They
have periodically recognized. however,
that conditions brought about by the
war have made necessary immense
personal sacrifices on the part Of those
whose business involves large con-
sumption Of fuel. They are unfortunate
enough to have their investments In
business which,, while legitimate and
even important in times OF peace. can
be more easily spared in times of war
than many others.
The new '1ightless night" order IS to
be followed by another order, In pre-
paration, establishing rules for light
Ing and heating large public buildings
including office buildings. hotels and
apartment houses. These regulations
will reduce the present practice very

The public will be asked at the same
