WHEN PREACHERS CUSS

Sometime ago at Sandusky two
hundred preachers attended the
synod of the Reformed Church of
America. The usual exercises formed
part of the proceedings, which also
included prayers for the success OF
the allied armies and for the over
whelming defeat OF Germany.
The prayers were in German.
Several arguments may be urged
to show that English would have
been more appropriate. of French
or the aged Japaense. But the argu-
msnts may be saved; many OF the
aged ministers could understand no
language but their native German.
When venerable preachers feel
that they will be trifling with the
Almighty II they cuss the Kaiser In
tongue that they can't understand
we need entertain no doubt as to
their loyalty. Thank Heaven, we have
many citizens of German blood,
churchmen and laymen both; whose
fidelity to the land of their adoption
stands the acid test. and stands It
daily.
The prayer-leader could easily
have used English, and those who
didn't understand could have signi-
fled concurrence by preserving that
inert condition of torpid unconsci-
ousness which so often characterizes
prayer-meeting. But they wanted
to participate more intimately In
the festival of malediction against
Prussian tyranny. And II is no light
matter to repudiate national tradi-
tions that have had less than a gem
Grafton in which to become extinct.

These suggestions are made by

cultural College, In view of shortage

Material used In clothing for men

Miller. II is usually better and will

THE AMATEURS

They have checked up on the war

at $525, 700, 100000 according to the
figures of the War Garden Commits

It is more practical to guess how
many gardeners contributed to the
magnificent total.
The amount would have been
much larger II the amateurs had
known that garden needs prepara-
tion In the fall as, much as in the
spring. Ignorance of this has meant
failure for many OF the novices. and
now is the time to do the tilling and
fertilizing that will atone for the
omissions OF last year.

bowed. She waved in answer, and
then-could he believe his own

pressed It close to his heart.

we're standing side by side with the one
aimed at.
"If such difficulties confront the marks
man shooting one mile, it is obvious that
the artilleryman who is to shoot two or
three or five miles must not expect to
make a direct hit on too small a target.
He has the advantage. however, that his
weapon. once it is aimed, will not be dis
turbed by a tremor; and with the aid Of
telescope sight he Is able to adjust his
weapon with an astounding degree of ac-
curacy. Two or three trial shots may be
required to make sure Of his range and to
enable him to make proper allowance for
the influence Of the wind on a particular
occasion; but he is pretty likely then to
be able to drop an explosive shell within
damaging distance Of any object that he
can definitely locate. A direct hit at ten
thousand yards Of a target as large as a
nest Of machine guns is we'll within his
possibilities. The same thing applies, OF
course, to any large piece Of ordnance.
Hence the necessity-viewing the mat
ter from the opposite point Of view-that
machine guns and cannon should be shield
ed from view to the fullest extent possible.
Out Of this necessity has grown the elab-
crate system OF disguise which has made
familiar another exotic word, camoufiage.
A machine gun or cannon that went into
action undisguised out In the open would
not be long in paying the price Of its
temerity. AS the case stands, however,
the aFtilleryman's difficulty Is not so much
in aiming his weapon as In seeing some
thing at which to aim. Very commonly d

steady and fugacious target.
Incidentally, 1t Is worth noting that the
puff of smoke given out by an enemy can
non may serve a double purpose, not only
enabling the gunner to direct his weapon
laterally. but also giving q clue to the
range, provided careful observation is made
of the interval Of time that elapses be-
tween the visible appearance Of the smoke
and the hearing Of the sound. Sound
waves, as every one knows, travel at the
rate Of about 1850 feet per second, 30 a
