The Dutch say the kaiser came to
Holland like any other refugee
seeking shelter" Isn't it about time
to lay aside all technicalities and
camouflage and yank the kaiser from
his hiding place? William Hohen-
zollern is no ordinary person seek
ing asylum" but he is the greatest
murderer the world has ever known.
Civilized countries should not toler-
ate his presence.

THANKSGIVING

The dark clouds which hovered
over the entire civilized world on
Thanksgiving day last year have re
Gently lifted. revealing a clear, blue
sky that promises sunshine, prosper
ity and good win among nations and
individuals.
Oregon, the volunteer state of the
Union, which has given so freely of
its men, money and materials, has
the basis for special qualification
over the noble part her sons played
in accomplishing the final victory.
We have right to rejoice this year
as never before and to mingle the
voice of music with that of reverent
prayer by singing the songs of vic
tory, Of home and OF thanksgiving.
But. in our happiness. we should
not forget that hundreds of thou
sands from the very flower of the al
lied nations have made the supreme
sacrifice that we might enjoy the
frnits OF victorious peace, and that
countless others are crippled and
MANNED for life. There will be va
cant chairs at the Thanksgiving
tables this year, and let US render
thanks unto the Supreme Ruler of
the Universe that these soldiers of
democracy have not suffered and
died in vain. Let US also thank Di-
vine Providence for guidance over a
Christian course and for endowing
our people with a spirit of patriotism
and national unity that has inspired
us to perform our share in the re-
establishment Of world peace and
the universal recognition Of the
brotherhood of man.

Has the church mission TO our
soldiers in this war? II II has, then
along what lines does its duty lie?
VIII II supplement the work OF the Y.
M. @. A. and the Red Cross, or will
IL overlap their territory and in a
measure duplicate the splendid work
these organizations are doing? These
are perfectly natural questions, and a
church that Is asking for 100000
from its constituency for war work
purposes ought to be ready to give a
reasonable answer. II is ready.
The church is not working in Y. M.
c. A. territory. 1t does no organized
work inside OF cantonments, but does
work outside. Mr.. John r. Mott. ma
hnal secretary OF the Y. M. c. A. is
urging churches to use their best en-
deuvSrs TO care for our soldiers OF
the33onZtapments. 1t is outside OF
thePtAf1 snments. 1t is outside OF
army camps where lies the creates:
danger to the moral and physical well
fare of our soldiers. Within the
camp they are under the constant SUI
pervision OF officers. but outside there
is but little restraint, and many
things make their bid for the sol
dier's attention. The bootlegger. the
scarlet woman, the uncensored thea
ter and other questionable agencies
have laid their nets for the boy in
khaki

them. II Is to meet such conditions
that Methodists are asking for $780,
900 so as to provide rest rooms
music rooms, music, meals, etc. for
our boys when they are In town OH
duty. The pastors OF our churches
near environments have done much
for our boys, but they must have
help from the church at large or those
soldier boys will be the sufferers. IL
IS TO such work as this that John X.
Mott asks the church ito make strong
her work in camp neighborhoods in
order that the strongest agencies Will
seize and take care OF the boy when
he steps outside the camp or canton
ment."
Neither is the church duplicating
the work OF the Red Cross. So keen
ly appreciatiye is the Red Cross of
our special work that 1t is calling for
chaplains from our churches. They
want our very best men, but are not
able 10 pay them any salary, just bare
expenses. Preachers are not able, ex-
cept in rare cases, to support them
selves and families without a regular
income, so that IL they responded 20
the call OF the Red Cross the church
must support them while they are do
ing IL. Will the church fail 10 meet
her duty? IL never has; II will not
now. In France there are all too few
chaplains to meet the needs OF our
soldiers there, and General Pershing
is asking others be sent Surely we
will not fail 10 heed his request. But
TO meet these demands the church
must give the $4,000 our war coun-
ell asks for.
In addition TO work for our soldiers
there are orphans in France and refu-
gees from Belgium, beside work In
Italy and Russia that is crying to US
for help. II Is the church's supreme
opportunity to give the cup OF cold
water" in His name. Failing to do II
will add TO the sorrows OF an already
much Borrowing world.
