1t is not enough to have peace with

WAR AND CHESS

The game of chess has been a favorite with many
generals, as they have found in it an exercise moro
harly corresponding to tn, working out Of the actual
problems of the field than any other in which they could
engage. In each contest the principals seek to achieve
a definite thing, and everything else is subordinate to
that. In chess the player seeks to 'checkmate' his OPP
.ponent, that is, to place the enemy'7 king in a position
of jeopardy from which he cannot be moved without
still being under fire. When that is accomplished the
game is ended and the victory won, regardless of the
number of pieces left on the board, or how they may
be distributed.
The object of the game. therefore. is not to capture
the eneny's pieces. 1t is to checkmate his king. Pieces
of greater or lesser value are taken as a means of de-
pleting the cnemy's forces. Certain advantageous posi-
tons are sought. not in order that pieces may be cap
turcd, except incidentally, but In order that the campaign
against the king may be. furthered. The skillful player
plans his campaign, and permits neither the prospect of
gaining a few of his opponents pieces nor that of losing
some of his own distract him.
Attention is paid to attacks made by the enemy only
when it is apparent that If they are permitted to succeed
beyond a certain point the players own grand strategy
will ultimately be disarranged. when there is a menace
of that kind a struggle over a pawn down in one corner
of the board may assume the character Of a major opera
ton. although neither party cares anything about the
pawn itself. ~

strongly than anything that we have seen during the long
months Of trench fighting, where we could see only the
local aspects Of the conflict. 1t is easy to see the object
aimed at by the Germans namely, the separation of the
British forces by the driving of a wedge between them
clear through to the channel. With that accomplished
the obvious course would be to turn loose the whole Ger
man force and destroy the British army or drive it across
the channel. Then the French army would meet the
full force of the German blow. The capture of territory
is merely incidental to the main esort.
The Allies have their own plans. Those -plans are
offensive, not defensive. But, as in the chess game, it
may be necessary-it is necessary just now-to operate
on the defensive on a tremendous scale in order that the
main plans of the Germans may not succeed and the
main strategy of the Allies be rendered useless. 1t is
evidently the purpose not to permit the enemy to reach
the coast. He must be stopped at any cost. And. some
where, known to General Foch and those associated with
him in the planning Of great battles, are plans down to
THE finest detailfor a blow which will shatter the cneny's
strength.

France toward e negotiated peace. the young kaiser

he and Austria are as ever faithfully yours shows
that the revelation has caused great resentment

1t is a little announcement not to be able to get all
the white flour that we want, or an~the sugar that we
would like. Regardless of the wholcsomcness of coarse,
dark breads, and regardless of the fact that many of us
like them for a change" most of us do not find them
quite as palatable as white bread when offered as a
steady diet. Recollections Of the slices of white, flaky
bread that we formerly accepted as a matter of course,
persist, and we begin to appreciate the fact that in many
respects we were having a mighty soft, pleasant time.
The change is not wholly agreeable.
Some of us have to pay income taxes directly. 9th
ers who escape the direct tax, have equally effective
taxes levied indirectly in the form of increased prices
and the enforced lessening of the consumption of many
things that we enjoy. There are a lot Of Inconvenience
to be endured.
But some other people are finding life deprived Of
some of it's conveniences. as we'll as we who, after all,
are suffering no actual hardship. There are people in
Europe, respectable, Industrious, thrifty people, who
have, forgotten what a square meal is like, whose homes
have been swept from the earth, whose property has van
ished, who, from positions of comfort and even luxury,
areas dependent on the chance offerings Of the day for
food and shelter as are the beasts Of the field. There
are men on the battle fronts who are putting forth the
most supreme effort of which man is capable, in cold,
and wet. and dirt, and blood, many whose bodies will
remain where the fury of shot and shell have laid them.
8Conveniences do not count much over there.
A guest at a local hotel yesterday grumbled to a
.waitcr because he couldn't get a piece of white bread.
!. He couldn't see the sense of it all. The waiter explained
t#as courteously as possible that the regulations were thus
land SO, but the grumbler continued to growl, and I'M
4 fortunately did not choke on what was set before him.
Finder the instructions given to the waiter when she re-
Sported the incident that fellow will hear something that
will not please him if his grumb1ing over war rations .c
Il repeated. The evaporation that is felt when cases of
this sort are brought to ones attention make it easy
40 understand how. at times. a popular feeling of dis
gust finds expression in tar and feathers.
Fellows Of that sort should be. made to understand
sthat the world does not exist for their pleasure; that
Sthere are more Important things than their comfort to be
NsxhonEht Of; and that whatever conveniences they do en-
ssjoysare not theirs Of right, but are privileges, to be ac-
sspted with gratitude that they can be enjoyed for a
aa4ilne, and To- be relinautshed cheerfully when the public

The Broken Word

Germany agreed at The Hague convention of 1907 to certain definite rules of war. Among them were these.
 No employment of .deleterious gases.
 No bombardment of unforti- fled towns.
 No pillaging.
 No levying of illegal contribu- tons in occupied territory.
 No seizure of funds belonging to private persons.
 No collective penalties for in- dividual acts (prohibiting shoot ing of hostages.)
 No terrorizat on of a country by outrages on it's civil lnhabit- ants.
 Every one of these provisions has been deliberately violated by German forces-Vioiatad as de hberately as the neutrality of Belgium was violated.
 We know what society does to an individual who fiouts his word. It's action is of a sort to make the breaking of promises unpopular. In that way t has helped educate men in the way of truth telling and reliability. The same process must be applied to the treaty breaking nation.

Following his address at a banquet
given by the st. Louis Chamber OF
Commerce, the Archbishop Of York au-
thorized the above message to the
American people.
His Grace, the Most Rev. DR.. Cosmo
Gordon Lang, Archbishop Of York AID
Primate Of England. Is the highest
prelate in the Church Of England save
one. The Archbishop Of Canterbury,
Primate Of All England, IL the ranking
archbishop of the Church Of England.
The office of Primate Of England was
created in the year A. D. 627. This
ancient and honorable office and title
mas been held by many distinguished
prelates DR.. Lang is the ninety-eighth
Archbishop of York and Pnmate Of
England. The office of Primate of All
England was created in the year A.
d. 697
The difference between the office Of
Primate OF All England and the Pri.
mate Of England is slight. Centuries
ago. to keep peace between two arch
bishops and primates, the added
words "of all" to the title of the Pri-
mate of England solved the problem.
The Archbishop of York not only is
one Of the heads of the Church Of
England, but is member Of the
House Of Lords. A member Of the
House Of Lords owes no allegiance to
any political party and therefore his
actions as a statesman are not curbed
or influenced. He represents the gov
eminent and the people with equal in
terest and frequently fights the bat
ties in Parliament of the laboring
classes.
DR.. Lang is a 2cotchman, the son Of
Q Presbyterian minister, but he joined
the Church of England early in life
and while youth began to study for
the ministry. He rose from the rec
torship Of small church when yet q
young man and before he had attained
the age Of so was named Archbishop
Of York and Primate of England. He
soon distinguished himself not only as
a prelate but as a fearless and bril-
liant statesman and champion Of. the
people in the House Of Lords.
The Archbishop has visited many
cities in the United States recently,
where he delivered addresses before
chambers Of commerce and other
civic organizations. He brings not
only message of brotherhood and ap
probation from Great Britain. but he
emphasizes the need for undivided sup
port Of the government of The United
States by the people If the war is to
be won. He pleads for a speeding Ut
