WILL REAP THE wHIRLWIND.

The latest grip of Germany's iron
hand on Alsace-Lorraine, wrenched
from France AT years ago, IS to force
the women and girls who still remain
there 20 abandon their homes and
perform manual labor in the war zone.
The system of deportation and vir-
1ual slavery is the Same as that in
augurated by Won Kissing in Belgium
and Northern France.
According,to letters which have jus.
reached France from the two stricken
provinces, many of these women and
girls are now being obliged to dig
both trenches and tunnels.
A letter from priest announces
that the entire population of Alsacc-
Lorraine between II and 60 years OF
age has been ordered modified for
civilian work. Priests are included.
Still other letters declare that cloth
of all kinds has become SO scarce that
it is not to be found, and leather is
likewise disappearing.

tinues, "both men and women are to
be seen going about barefooted. manl

Other letters state rnat in the two
provinces, as elsewhere in Germany,
the bulk Of the wearing apparel is
now made ont of the paper substitute
for cloth which has been devised in
Germany since the beginning Of the
war.
Z While the war against P.ussian
militarism has been long, and no one
can see an early end of the conflici
we have always believed that in the
end Right will rise superior TO Might.
We are more assured Of the ultimate
victory Of the allies now than ever.
An old saying, antc-dating the time
of the Caesars, assures US that what
we do to others others will DO to lbs.
This has ever been fulfilled with ma
tions and individuals. A more sure
word of prophecy, however, tells us
"God is not Knocked. Whatsoever !:
man soweth that shall he also reap"
The Author Of our faith said that
"they that live by the sword shall
perish by the sword"
The kaiser's day is coming. Ger

of gold, silver, brass and iron, but

The great World War that has
absorbed all our interest for the
last four years is a thing Of the
past. Clearing away the debris, re-
facilitating devastated territories
and adjusting a fair and equitable
peace is the great program before
the world today. War means de-
struction. The work that immedi-
ately- follows war should mean con-
struction. Planning and construct
ing are two great words Of youth.
II is in the morning time of life
that we begin TO plan. The great
foundation is laid in the home, and
the construction largely carried on
in the school.
One OF the greatest lessons that
the young manhood Of America has
learned from this war, is that edu-
:. 'ation pays. Thousands Of men
have been taught in the army camps
in this country and>abroad the first
principles of education. They have
begun at the bottom and now that
the war is over men. thousands Of

Civil Service Reform

BY civil service reform is meant the effort to have
government offices used for government business and
not distributed because of their fat salaries among people
more or less incompetent who have helped party
the other win the election.
This has always been a trouble with government
the governors things for themselves and not for the
people And it is much fault OF democracies and
republics like America in tyrannes and aristocracies
The men who made Kentuckys constitution feared
that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction would
try to get himself reelected by somehow favorng teach
ers and others who would help him secure second
nomination and accordingly forbade him to hold an Of
fee for a second time
This works badly. BY the time Superintendent is
familiar with the State and his work he goes of Of
fee.
We agree with the Louisville Evening Post that the
State Superintendent should be appointed and allowed
to serve as long he does increasingly good work.

ship Comfort which carried 400,
and the French liner, Chicago, which
carried 260. All of the ships were
warmly cheered by crowds which
lined the water front and clustered
on housetops. Watercraft in the

augment the welcoming din.
