Attempt to Divide
Allies, BaIfour Says

LONDON. Sept ia. j. Balfour, the
British foreign secretary. giving his per-
sonal viewpoint on the Austrian peace
note to visiting journalists, said: 1T is
Incredible that anything can comm OF
this proposal"
Coming after the recent speech OF
Friedrich Won Payer, the German i'm
perial vice chancellor, Mr.. Balfour said:
This cynical proposal of the Austrian
government is not a genuine attempt to
obtain peace. 1t is an attempt to d.
vide the allies"
Il cannot honestly, in the proposals
made to US as L have been able 10
study Them Mr.. Balfour said, "see the
slightest hope that the goal we desire
the goal of a peace which snail De
more than a truce-can really be at
tanned
The foreign secretary said he was
utterly unable to see that conference
proposed by Austria could have the de-
sired end
Mr.. Balfour said no one should take
upon himself the task of rejecting with
a light heart any proposal which would
shorten the length fthe war. He also
declared that no coalition ever had been
so strong as the allied coalition and
that the enemy would not succeed in
breaking it.
by Austro-Hungary, Mr.. Balfour said,
undoubtedly would have great value I'M
der certain circumstances. He said
they would serve to smoth out OBSCURE
ties, such as questions of pride, but ne
declared that the questions now be-
tween the bell gerents were definitely
defined.
Il am not taking the proposals of
two years ago or last year, but of last
week." Secretary Balfour said. The
German vice-chancellor, speaking for
the German government clearly and
without obscure verbiage, showed where
Germany stood on the question of Bel
GUM, Alsace-Lorraine, the German col
onies. and the Brest-Litovsk and Buch-
Arrest treaties
The foreign secretary said he agreed
with the Austrian note when its authors
pointed out that the whole of civiliza-
ton was at stake and that the pro-
longation of hostilities was a risklng or
sacrificing of great deal that was
really dear to everybody interested IN
the progress of mankind.

THE SAVING OF SOULS
~ - IN = sElEiE.1,ss u IIIIeIy IOP1tJ

Their care many obligations resting
upon ministers of our Lords gospel,
when the world is on fire at home and
abroad. on land and on sea. Recollect-
ing the carnage on battle lines, the
deaths on aviation fields. the mortality
i'm camps and the daily casualty lists
that are printed for those whose anX-
iety is torturing, it seems to be a fore
gone conclusion that ministers who are
able bodied and within the draft age
should be in active duty, as chapla ins,
nurses for the sick and comforters
for the dying. and in large numbers
on the soil CT France and Belgium.
In the divine dispensatlon no person
is compelled to preach unless he is so
inclined. No person should claim the
privileges of a preacher who does not
feel compelled by his own conscience
TO do so. He must love his Lord so
well and esteem his opportunity so
highly that he is unwilling to do any
thing else, or he ought to be doing
something different Whenever a man
assumes the calling he should live a
surrendered life-henceforth to the end.
For our sakes, he that was sick be-
came poor says the Good Book. A
rich or luxurious preacher is an anon
ally in the Christian dispensation, and
if preachers cannot pay the price of
self-denial and cross-bearing they are
in the wrong pew. Unless he follows
in seIf-denial and cross-bearing he is
a misfit Where he is needed most,
there he should be ready and anxious to
serve. And am authorized to say that
all the preachers who with pulpit ad-
vice and counsel were anxious that the
young men of the nation should be
drafted for foreign service, and urged
them to go, facing death at every step,
SHOULD have also said: Here am l.,
send me also that 1 may follow my
Master in self-denial and self-sacri-
fee" When such advice and urging
were announced from the pulpit-to
anxious congregations-there should
have been a general uprising of minis
tiers to go too.
Somewhere / saw it stated that chap
lains were scarce, hence these words OF
admonition and entreaty. These boys
are the seed corn of our nation, they
should be well fed spiritually as well
as bodily. They are I'm dangerous
places. They need all the help they
can get. in sympathy and advice Let
our ministerial brethren investigate
their own obligation to these boys
over there"
And while the laity are self-denying
in all ways-as communicates our
preachers conserve and give the service
that our Lord directed when He SAID:
Take up thy cross and follow me-
