MOTHERS OF THE REGIMENT"

The effort to organize the mothers
Of soldiers Of the Three Hundred and
Nineteenth Regiment Of Infantry at
Camp Lee, Petersburg, va, TO bring
soldiers, mothers and regimental Of

MISSIONARY NOTES

II one wants to see some great
Christian work being done you should
go to Luebo, in Central Africa. ri ii
almost Incredible to see what God
has done through his ambassadors
away out here In the midst Of the
dark continent. To say that there are
two thousand at services on Sunday
morning; a school OF seven. or eight
hundred: and that there are two SER
vices a day attended by nearly a
thousand, Is just beginning to tell the
story.
This is the center OF the great
Southern Presbyterian Congo mission.
Its influence is felt far and wide.
Evangelists are constantly in training,
but they cannot supply the demand
for more workers. The out-stations
are on the boom, the tribes that never
were open TO the gospel before are
calling for the teachers.
In the smaller things too. the In
fiuence of the mission is to be seen.
On the Lapsley the men have prayer
meeting every morning before start
ing out and two services on Sunday.
It is known all along the way as the
ship of God
AL the saw mill the men work I'M
til twelve handling logs and lumber,
then have prayer meeting and school
until they start back to work at one
O'Clock. One OF the workmen leads
the meeting and teaches school, and
every day there Ii d different sermon.
On Sunday and Wednesday nights
There are prayer meetings all over
the village. These meetings are iii
the more remarkable because the ma
tiyes started them without any sug-
gestions from the missionaries. At
the opening exercises Of the school
every morning the pupils repeat
whole chapters Of the Bible, and that
without a hitch or a mistake. The
fact IL. the difficulty there III not to-
get the people in the church, but to
keep them out until they are ready to
be received.

ter the boys in your house. your street
and your town. Pork and tariff are
not the issues this year. There is on
ly one issue-the wal and the life of
! your boy.
Befre you can win in France the
administration must take a large dose
the whole bottle, in fact-of the
medicine that it recommended to the
Allies when General Foeh was made
the big boss of the armies. 1t has al
ready gone a long way. but It must
go the whole distance to centralized
and co-ordinated. autocratic and res
ponsible control Of our war activities
under go-getter and get-ft-done ex-
ecutives. We want fewer press agents
and more pressure in Washington.
Before you can win in France you
must bury the hyphen in America, and
along with it a few of the hyphenates
who have been spreading sedition and
plotting destruction. And in addition
to these there is another breed of
hyphenates that needs your attention
the near-Americans, born and bred
here, often finished abroad, whose
skulls are full of mush or h~eadcheese.
These are the gentry who, when we
propose to deal promptly and properly
with a Doctor Muck, oppose sentence

mentally national; and wen II that
were not true, America would better
endow Doctor Muck's art with nation

Two great battles against Germany
are being fought-one in France and
one in America. We shall win on
both fronts.
MI. Hoover says that food win win
the war.
Mr.. Hurley says that ships viii win
the war.
Other men say that guns, shells,
airplanes, Thrift Stamps or Liberty
Bonds will win the war. A large num-
Der hope that the other fellow will
win the war. They are all mistaken,
You will win the war.
Just how soon you will win depends
on how long it VIII take you to get
down to first principles to cut out
your n~onsensical and nonessential
ideas, to discard your pea-shooter and
pop-gun notions of war and to concen-
traIe yourself an everything you pos
sess on a one-hundred mile line in
France.
Someone has pointed with pride to
the fact that Great Britain is fighting
on thirty-seVen fronts. But this is at
best a necessary evil, a defensive
measure to safeguard the British EN-
pire itself. The statement was made
to lend force to an argument that the
| United States should divert men and
money to Russia. We hope that this
will not be done. Until Germany is
whipped on the western front she is
victorious everywhere. Once forced
back over the Rhine she is beaten
everywhere.
We must not chip away our resour-
ees on deuces and busted straights.
Before you a win in France con-
gress must get on a war basis. II
this one will not you can elect one in
the autumn that will. 1t is absolutely
in your hands. There is no need to
go into detail about this congress. It
contains many brilliant and devoted
men; and there are others. These
members are self-muckraked in the
Congressional Record. Look up your
senator and representative in it. Read
both the lines and between the lines.
Congress has passed some admir-
abla legislation; and then there is
the revenue biIl-a ~war-profits meas
ure that taxes everything except war
profits; a pat-the-burden-on-wealth
bin that in the clause taxing profess
ional earnings and salaries a final

kaiser's Will in Socialism

by the state, and when no man has
more than any other man? That is
the blessed state of Holy Rnssia.
Riches hug the mjouK like a porus
plaster. Monte Christie never faced
such a prospect. The world and the
fulInes thereof is his-the stars shine
through his soul, and the pebbles
prick his feet.
East Side, New York, has been
rammed full, and running over with
socialism. There Morris Hilquitt got
his heavy support for mayor. Its lead
ers are pro-German, but fear has par
alyzed their tongue. Scratch a social
list anywhere and you find a near-Hun
Logic will cut her capers, as Sam
Jones once said. The commandment,
Thou shalt not steal was framed
to meet a universal instinct, but only
the Hun has converted that instinct
into a national virtue. What Germany
takes is sanctified, whether it steals a
province or a pig.
Taxes for somebody else-for US
free homes, free capital and exemp-
ton from work. There you have the
gfst of Bolshevikism wherever you
find it. The great American public
has been humoring it too much, and
that is why we have SO many German
! spies, and so much arson in u mu-
| milton factories. The socialist would
not be loyal to principle If he did not
show his LOYALTY to the chief apostle
of socialism, the Bolshevik of Bolshe-
| 7iks-the kaiser. 1t is very true that
he is not in exact accord with his
Russian brethren, but the difference
is merely racial. They want all for
themselves and he wants all for HIM
self. The doctrine of grab-it-and-get-
.away-with-it easily spells itself out In
any language. The main thing about
it is the size of the persimm0n pole.
The kaiser has a good reach. His
Russian prototype wobbles, but 1t Is
not his fault. Both get all they can
and keep all they can. and deny any
body's right to ask questions. Where
is the essential difference?
La Toilette has been for years the
uncrowned king Of American social
lists. He never let an opportunity
pass to array elias against class. Then
came the crucial test-and he re-
NAMED true to the faith-also true to
the kaiser. That his sympathy is with
Germany all men who know him
know. 1t is just logic cutting her ca
pers. A victory for the Hun means
a victory for socialism. Defeat for
the kaiser spells the death knen Of
socialism. La Toilette il smarter
than many people.N He understands
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1918-06-08

One of the immediate results of the
war has been to give a body blow to
~Bolshevikism in this country. 1t was
here, defiant and expectant. We have
had our Lenines and Trotskys in great
numbers. Their mission was to ar
ray class against class, and to preach
the gospel of communism in its varied
forms. In one respect they all met
on common ground. They were all
hostile to work of any kind, and all
advocated the division of their neigh
boris property among themselves. OF
course, they found a reason for it,
which was that their neighbor had
somehow managed to absorb more
than his share of the worlds goods,
and it was declared to be a pious
duty to relieve him of the surplus.
Boiled down there is nothing to Boil
shevikism, whether of the American
or the Russian variety, except a GRIM
inal instinct toward grand larceny.
We understand very well the logic OF
the thief who steals a pig, but some
people claiming to be respectable pro-
fess to cover with an idealistic halo
the laundering of the same or some
other thief to steal houses and lands
and TO pursuade the state to approve
the deed as o only permissible but
laudable.
The socialist can no longer claim
that his theories are untried. Rus
STA has put them to the test. 1t has
upset everything which appertains TO
decent social organism. It has de-
stroyed the right of property. 1t has
abandoned marriage. It has
ed religion and defied God. II there
is anything left there which savors
Of sanity it survives by accident and
may soon be expected to disappear,
The so-called "laboring class" is IN

American socialism has profited by
the rancor of party politics, and the
fine art Of trading for small fayors
which have a rubber like capacity for
expression. The socialist vote cares
for nothing except the odor Of its own
Vagaries. It would exchange the
world for the privilege of a free
beer per day. Hence its ability to get
on in a country where there are so
many aldermen standing on the door

San Francisco made a good start
when the democrats and the republic

whenever the Bolsheyik shall appear

Americanism.
A new force will soon make itself
felt in this country--the spirit Of the
men who shall come back from war.
Nobody need ask how they will stand
War has its horrors, but it also has its
lessons. The man who goes over the
