World at War;" interprets our time
ly entrance into the world struggle
in the following wise:
Then when the last walls of our
Christian faith are beaten down, and
we come to the pass of which our
Master spoke when he said, L came
not to send peace but sword; when
there must be war for the defense of
our liberties, for the protection of our
homes, or for the punishment of in
tolerable crimes against God and man;
God give us grace to meet it with
courage and a clear conscience.
Blessed be the Lord my strength, who
taught mems hands to war and their
fingers to fight, in the old time when
that was the only way. And blessed
be the Lord of Hosts who on a thou
sand battle fields has defended the
right against the mighty; and shall
again defend it."
Mr.. Hodges deals with such topics
as I'm the Storm Of War" Easter
in a World at War;" God and the
Worlds Pain" THE Everlasting vi
tality of the Christian Religion" OF the
men on the field of battle he writes;
"Or the laying down of their lives may
be an: efficient means whereby war
shall be abolished, and government
of the people, by the people and for
the people shall be securely establish
ed in the earth. By their stripes we
are healed. By their pain another step
is taken in the progress of the world"

GREAT SUM SPENT on HORSES
Costs More to Feed Army Animals
Than Soldiers Themselves.

| BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 2.-It costs more
to feed United States army mules and
horses than it does to satisfy the
hunger of the men themselves.
Million of dollars-how many mil
lions the forage branch of the Quarter
masters Corps here would not say
have already been paid for hay, grain
and straw supplied cavalry mounts
and pack and artillery animals since
June, 1917, according to George l.
Bridge, chief of the forabe branch.
Mr.. Bridge joined the nations "$1-a-
year" men to give to the department
the advantage of his years of expert
ence as purchaser of hay and grains.
He based his conclusions as to the
relative cost of feeding man and beast
on a basis of 16 cents a meal for each
soldier
To cope with the gigantic task that
the quartermasters face in keeping
army animals well fed, a re-arrange-
ment of the forge division has just
DScH ShCClcu, "ucICDy SHiSd6O 10
made the forage-pWchasing centre
for all of Americas armed forces.
Purchasing of forage supplies is
much more complicated than in any
other army branch" said Mr.. Bridge.
For example when a supply of frozen
beef is needed, it is only necessary to
see five or six firms, because these
firms are practically the only ones
from which the beef can be obtained.
Consequently the purchase is quickly
effected
"In the forage branch, however, we
are faced with a much more perplex
ing problem. Our purchases must be
made direct from dealers, and there
are thousands of them. We pick up
a carload of hay here, another some
where else. This not only necessitates
large volume of correspondence
but complicates our work. Of one
thing we may be proud, however:
there has been no trouble whatever in
getting supplies, and there is no
shortage in this country of the things |
needed in our department
The forage division supplies straw
for the beds Of soldiers, large
amount being required for this pur-
pose alone.

THE PASSING OF HENTY

The city librarian reports that the
books of George Alfred Henty lie un-
called for on the shelves. Another
milestone passed!
The Henty vogue marked the reign
of the pseudo-historical, sensational,
semi-literary fiction for children. The
books are link in the chain of evolu-
tion from the Diamond Dick bloOd-and-
thunder thriller that was read surrep-
titiously and hidden under the cellar
steps-a decided improvement on that
literary nightmare, but just as decided
ly only a step in the right direction.
Their passing, however much it may
be regretted by those who cherish the
memories of many a rainy day bright
ened by "St. George in England" or
Under brakes Flag" is as inevitable
as that of time
The newer fiction is characterized
by simplicity and naturalness and an
almost unbelievable lack of the yell
low. Brilliant young geniuses no
longer metamorphose difficult phases
of industry in the midst of insuperable
obstacles and crushing circumstance
Such books of hardy boy life and -ad-
venture as those of Ralph Henry Bar
bour, John Masefield's Jim Davis"
Stewart Edward Whites 1.-The Blazed
Trail" the animal stories of London
and Ernest Thompsou-Seton. the ini-
mitable Treasure Island" Brander

numbers are legion-are coming into
their own.
Old favorites such as Robinson
Cruso," "Old Curiosity Shop" "Alice
in wonderland" and "Ivanhoe" may be
obtained with illustrations that are
Joy to the childs heart Arthur Rack
hams illustrations of Mother Goose"
for the very young, of course-are
fascinating in their wealth of imagina-
tion and art.
Then there has been a return to the
fairy tale, ballads, old Morse and Gel
tic tales and poetry. Literature for
children is becoming sane. The bind
ings and printing of modern child fic-
tion are attractive. Persons are going
into the work for sheer love of charm
ing the younger generation, and they
are PRODUCING marvels in the way Of
readable and artistic books.

BUILD THE ROAD

Work on the National Old Trails
Road should be prosecuted at once de-
spite war conditions. 1t should be
prosecuted at once because of war con-
ditions.
Secretary McAdoo has ruled that
approval of road bond issues for
permanent road construction will be
given only in cases of immediate need
and economic advantage. More than
half of the money for the construction
Of this road from Washington to the
Rockies has been raised, and bond
issues are now pending for the re-
mainder of it.
The Government has seriously con-
sidered connecting the training camps
in this country with industrial centers
by means of permanent roads. The
road from st. Louis west would be a
link in such a chain. These roads
would do much to relieve the con-
gestion of railway traffic
The road is needed and is needed
now. The money has been partly
raised; the building has been partly
done. Failure to take advantage of
this semi-completed work would mean
large economic loss to the people
of the state and of the Nation. Mis-
souri, has more than fulfilled her quota
OF dollars to the Government: she
is rich enough to build this road in
