Three Men and the Vision They Saw
By BRUCE BARTON


In certain city dwell three men. And by
accident of birth one of them is Catholic and
one is a Protestant and one is a Jew.
For thirty years they have engaged IN bust
ness side by side, and the Catholic has not dealt
with the Protestant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with the Jew.
"What is he to mer' each man has said.
"He is not of my faith: will avoid him.:
So for thirty years they have dwet together,
strangers in friendly world. 4
Then came the shadow of a fearful. war.
And out of those three homes three boys went
forth alone. Three fathers waited heart-worn
for the letters from over there.
There are Soldiers of F1iendness over
here" the bows wrote home. "They bring Us
chocolate, and motion pictures, and baseball,
and good Lectures; and the memory OF mother
and Of God."
"Help those friendly agencies when you have
the chance" each boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three fathers found
themselves working shoulder to shoulder IN 4
great campaign for funds.
Not as Catholic and Protestant and a
Jew-but as good citizens united in common
cause.
And as they worked they came to know each
other, and they were ashamed that tor so many
years they had been strangers side by SIDE
"Surely this is one of the conpensatlons OF
war;" they said, THAT in our deeper love tor
our boys we have learned new respect tor one
another"
So new spirit was born into that city. As
though in it's heart it had discovered something
of the greater religion, whose God is Father;
and whose faith and creed are love.

Salem EIkIet Is In Great

"Tbe Salem Elklet" issued by tbs
Salem lodge No. 1856, B. P. o. E., en-
lows the distinction of being the only
publication in the state to be issued
whenever the editors have accumulated

a breathing spell between issues.
Judging from the letters received by
the secretary of the lodge, the 80 mem
bers in the service regard the Elklet az

only that To understand the wrecking of the

case of a German spy located in Omaha, who had not
been discovered by the Department of Justice and
sequently seized during the round up April 6.
would have known just other German in the
United States this being in Chicago, perhaps, to
whom he reported and from whom he received orders.
while the Omaha escaped arrest his superior
in Chicago seized. OF course, the Omaha spy had
no means of knowing that the Chicago had been
seized; all he that after April he did not hear
the Chicago spy and could not into communica

then, the Omaha completely isolated, still at
liberty, but marooned in foreign land, not knowing

been organized with such elaborate that when
