Coffee and Religion

Sergeant VIM. 5. McBirnle is
a travelling salesman, for u New
York business house. At the
outbreak of the war he enlisted
with the Canadian troops and
was among the first Canadians
to come to grief with the Ger.
mans in the battle of the Marine.
He was wounded five times be
fore being discharged as unfit
for service.
Sergeant McBirnie said in a
recent mass meeting to raise
funds for Salvation Army War
Work, Money is the cheapest
thing in America today, and it
is the chief thing that Ameri'
cans can put behind their boys
in France while these boys stand
between the Huns and the down.
fall of civilization. Let the bat.
tie lines break down and the
Huns will come to America.
This can be counted on as a
sure thi x.
THE Salvation Army is dom!
a wonderful work among the
men in France. 1t is combining
hot coffee and religion and is
doing it in a way to hold up the
morale of The allied troops. 1t
is morale that keeps a soldier in
fighting trim. There is no labor
union on the battle line in
France. A soldiers work is
done only when his job is done.
1T is when a soldier comes
out of a change that he needs
and gets the service of the Sal
walton Army, the speaker said.
Ten minutes before he goes
"over the top" he takes the
Bible,'a picture of his most
loved one and the last %letterfrom
home out of his breast pocket
and looks them over. It is then
that he has a fear of death. Five
minutes later his training as a
soldier and his duty to his home
country comes over him. His
nerves are trembling with ex.
element, yet he is calm in his
mind. He goes into the charge
and when he has bayonetted his
first German the lust of blood
takes possession of him. AS he
pulls out the bayonet dripping
with blood, he sees red. His
one desire is to kill. This is a
war to kill more than it is to
gain ground over No Mans Land.
When a charge is over and
the soldiers come back alive he
is in the condition of a maniac.
He would not speak to his best
pal. What he needs is to get
back to his billet and when he
arrives there he is met ny a man
or lassle from the Salvation Ar
my who does not speak to him
give him a cup of coffee and
leads him to a Salvation Army
hut to rest. His nerves begin to
relax. His first laugh is a
screech. 1t is the Salvation
Army combination of coffee and
} unspoken religion that brings
him back to himself again." said
Mr.. McBirnie.
IF there were fifty Organiza.
tions like the Salvation Army in
France it would not be enough.
There is a welfare hut about
every mile along the Western
front, and each hut tries to
serve several Thousand men.
This very best thing that the
people can do for the American
soldier is to give to the Saliva.

London, March 9.-The social
revolutionaries have decided to
organize national guard to over
throw the Bolsheviki regime in
Russia, according to DR.. Elef of
Moscow university, who is quoted
in Copenhagen dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph as saying
that the decision was reached at
a recent conference in Moscow. A
great army is now being organized
in the Don district supported by
Cossacks, the dispatch adds, and
it is also planned to introduce a
republic in Russia with a coalition
government which would not ac-
cept the German Bolsheviki peace.
Professor Eleff asserted that the
news OF the new movement had
been suppressed by the Petrograd
Bolsheviki news agency.
