Doctor Abbott on the .IHar

One can well imagine what feelings
Of gratitude the comforting philosophy
Of Lyman Abbott will prompt In tho
hearts of those who have suffered most
poignantly in the world war, for in his
latest little book he likens tho struggle
to crusade, and all the soldiers and all
those who have done sacfifclal service
he lkens to crusaders. Tho Germans he
compares to band OF brigands who
have fallen upon tho respectable ma
tions OF Europe, needy and worthy OF
our help Therefore Americas interven-
ton In tho war was necessary and
humane and we seek no further for
a Justification.
But II Ia in delneating the spiritual
aspects of the world war that Doctor
Abbotts book is more notable. Far from
tho war being in effect a negation of
Christianity, he sets about to prove that
Christianity has never been SO tri-
umphant as It is today. Ho recalls the
words of Lincoln and rejoices that in tho
war we are flghting on Gods side, and
not God with US, as the Germans claimed
for their cause.

PRUSSIAN GERMANY
MUST BE DESTROYED
Only Thus, Says James M
Beck, Can There Be Any
Hope for World Peace

The third OF James NJ. Beck's books
on the war Is discussion of tho moral
aspects of the peace problem and OF
retrlbutive Justice as an Indispensable
element. 1t is book that deserves the
attention of every one who is at all In
terested In the great principles on which
any enduring world peace must be built.
Mr.. Beck begins with a discussion of
that higher law which from the days Of
the Greeks down to the present is ad-
mtted to control when statute law falls
to secure substantial justice. He appeals
TO that higher law for his warrant in
demanding that tho 1Iohenzollern dynas-
| ty and tho Prussianized German En-
pire shall be punished for their crimes.
He traces the history of the Hohenzol-
lerns from Frederick the Base, as he
calls him, who acted on the principle, as
he remarked, Take what you can. for
YOU arc never wrong, unless you are
obliged TO give back Under this prin-
cipte he took Silesia from, Austria, part
of Poland when that kingdom was dis
membered, and his successors seized
Schleswig Holsten from Denmark and
robbed France of Alsace-Lorraine, and
in 1914 set out to do their will with
Europe, Asia and Africa, to say nothing
of America
It is this robber state that must be
brought to retribution. Mr.. Beck would
first have the Hohenzollern dynasty de-
stroyed, and he prophesies that If Ger
many were defeated the German people
themselves might take that matter into
their own hands-he was writing before
the armistice was signed and before
the forced abdication of the Kaiser and
the Crown Prince Then he would have
Prussia reduced to a small principality
through restoration to Austria Of Silesia,
stolen more than a hundred and fifty
years ago through the return to Poland
of that part Of her territory annexed
to Prussia, and the return to Denmark
Of Schleswig- -Holstein. OF course, he in
ssts that Alsace-Lorraine must be given
back to France. Then he would have
the other German States, which have
never been in sympathy with Prussia.
organized into a new nation. Only thus,
in his opinion, can Prussianism and
Hohenzollernism be destroyed, or meet
with proper retribution for their crimes.
In celebrating his argument, Mc. Beck
reviews briefly the predatory history of
Prussia and the disintegrating factors
inherent in the German Empire as cre-
ated by Bismarck. He discusses tho
mission of America at the peace table,
and he subjects President Wilson's four
teen points to a most searching analysis.

Photographs of a Revolution

It occurred to Donald c. Thompson.
who went to Russia for Leslie's Weekly
in January, 1917, that a Photographic
record Of the revolution would be
unique. He took hundreds of photo
graphs. both in Petrograd and at the
front, showing critical and characteris-
tic scenes. Two hundred Of them have
just been gathered into a volume with
brief descriptive text by Florence Nc
Leod Harper. who was in Russia with
him to write of the scenes which
Thompson photographed. The volume
will increase in value and interest with
the years, but at the present it is OF
great interest to every one who has been
trying to follow the course of events in
Russia.

LOYALTY AND T1uTH.


In behalf of the graduating class Of
1918, I wish to extend to you all
hearty welcome to our exercises this
afternoon.
and members of the different school
boards we bid you all welcome, for it
is through you and your mutual Coop
Grafton that we are here today.
it should be a very happy day. We may
look back to our past school days, see
ourselves pondering and striving at
possible problems but by strong perse-
verance we did accomplish them, and 50
It has been through all our school years
ourselves we have at last reached that
longed for goal.
But this will not end our career: No,
it is but a stepping to our higher ideals,
school work thru high school and even
on to college for we want this class to
be able to boast of its noted historians,
writer's, poets and other famous per-
sons.
For our motto we have chosen as you
may see Loyalty and Truth the words
such a fitting time.
Loyalty how many ways are there
not of showing loyalty to ourselves and
aG1rg guntyy When 9t Ts Se thna of
done for US. and then think of the great
struggle. it is now engaged in. none
of us I'm sure can do too much to
show our loyalty, and we as a class or
as individuals can accomplish many
helpful things and it should be and
is the duty of every loyal boy or girl
to do his or her share.
BY our Thrift stamps, war stamps and
our war gardens we are helping In a
! financial way.
BY our Junior Red Cross Work we are
relieving the suffering and poverty OF
thousands in Europe.
By saving food at home and at school
we are helping in the vital question Of
food.
And so may we go on naming numer
GUS other ways in which we may show
our loyalty and SO let us be more ant
more encouraged and strive harder an<
harder to stand loyal and with loyalt.
we may place Truth.
Therefore and again I bid you al
welcome to our graduation exercises.
