after we had collected the bodies
by the light of star shells and hun
dreds Of signal lights and bursting
shells began the task of identifica-
ton by means Of tags and small per-
sonal belongings found on them. The
sergeant and his men kept pace with
me, constructing crosses and inscrib-
ing each one of them with the name
and number Of the soldier killed.
ut was about 2 o'clock in the
morning when, on the slope of the
hill, we dug the graves and buried
our dead. The firing was dying
down and I read the service in COM
parative quiet. On the way back to
our lines the sergeant fell into step
with me and grasped my hand with
hard grip
Convinced
"'Sir,' he said, 4 guess there must
be God. Those crosses mean
something to me now. When my
time comes, will you see that have
one and word said for me?'

later. He fell in the next charge" "
If there were any one distinguish
ing quality in religious effort that
won men to the Church it was that
quality the reverse of which they
gave first in their lists of the cardi-
nal sins. Thomas Tiplady, who had
a distinguished career with the
British forces, said recently:
"a chaplain at the front will lose
all influence unless he has the cour-
age to face danger and death. He.
above all men, the soldiers think,
ought not to be afraid, for he be-
lieves in and breaches the provi-
Dental care of God and immortality
of the soul. If Heaven be a fact,
and not a fiction, why should he
fear to die? During a service in a
field a shell fell few yards from
the chaplain. AS they heard the
sound of it's approach, every one,
including the chaplain, instinctively
rushed for cover. 1t was most
sensible thing to do, but the chap
lain lost prestige because he ran
with the soldiers. They thought his
superior faith in God ought to have
held him to the altar. Men expect

WEEK OF MOURNING"
Public FrivoIity Has Been Or
dered Stopped In Germany.
Government Issues Decree to Empha
size Sorrow and Depression"
Created by Peace Terms.

Berlin, May 13.-The government
has decreed week of mourning" to
give expression to the sorrow and de.
preston" called forth by the announce
ment of the peace terms. The week
began Sunday. -
The decree provides that public
frivolity must be stopped for a period
of eight days. Its provisions affect the
first class theaters i'm the same man
ner as the popular cabarets. Dancing,
horse racing and gambling will be sup
pressed for the week, and the occasion
probably will be used to put definite
end to the gambling frenzy which is
holding Greater Berlin in its tentacles.

published here the Karlshorst race

Noted German Editor Asserts
Peace Terms Are Not Un-
necessarily Harsh.
SCORES PETTY TRICKS
Macmillan Harden Says Germany
Should Have Sent Men to Confer
ence Who Would Have Laid
Their Cards on the Table.

Berlin, May 13-Writing on the
peace treaty, Maximilian Harden, edi.
tor of the Berlin Die Zukunft, says:
THE peace conditions are not hard
er than ! expected. They were un-
pleasant to the greater part of the
people, but could one really have ex-
pected otherwise?
Guarantees Not Convincing.
"The Germans have not given con-
vincing mental guarantees during the
six months since the revolution that
they have changed their system. On
the contrary, the government and the
press have used the same methods Of
incitement, the same tricks of bluff as
under the old rule of petty nobility.
THE governments proclamations
and speeches are only sad copies of
the kaiser's time. The press resounds
in protests and has started a campaign
of incitement against the Allies,
couched in violent language. 1t Is agi-
tating for refusal to sign the treaty.
All must know that the Allies, by keep
ing up the blockade and occupying the
coal districts, can force Germany to
sign whatever they want.
Red Threat All Bluff.
THE Allies have been threatened
that Germany would join the Bolshe-
Wiki. But that would be suicidal The
only way to rescue the country is by
openness and honesty. The revolu-
ton has been a disappointment.
Germany should have sent men
who would have laid their cards on
the table and got the Allies to under
stand that some of the conditions were
unacceptable. IL Germany showed its
good will to do what is in it's power
to comply with the Allies requests,
the Allies would see that conditions
were changed in favor of Germany be-
cause they know there must be Ger
many and that it is impossible to de-
stroy the German people"
Brutal Peace of Force"
Berlin, May 12.-The protests that
came from throughout Germany over
the peace terms, as they were report.
ed before the official terms became
known, are as nothing In comparison
with the wave of angry, bitter and
disappointed remonstrance that is
sweeping over Germany, now that the
treaty has been presented.
For perhaps the first time in his.
tory all the German parties are united
in opinion, each of them assailing the
terms. The independent socialist
party does not appear to agree with
its organ, Die Freinheit, that Ger
many should sign the peace on the
terms presented. The newspapers are
utterly swamped with protests.

OPPOSE FINANCIAL CLAUSES
French Writers Declare Germany
Should Pay All Costs.

Paris, May 13.-The financial clauses
of the peace treaty continue to be the
most discussed sections of the docu-

demned by the commentators for not
making Germany responsible for the
repayment Of the entire cost of the
war and for leaving France with a
burden placed at s34, 200, 100000.

OF the American peace delegation.

situation with a view OF reaching a
basis of adjustment before the Aus

luncheon at which Colonel House was
the Italian diplomats guest.
The Council of Four of the peace
conference took up consideration of
the replies to be made to the latest
German notes, those regarding labor
matters and prisoners of war.

German notes on labor and war pris-
oners to experts for consideration in
stead of answering them at once as it
did with the first two communications
from the German delegation.

historic times to the era of the Gallo

To Present Terms In Palace.
1t is planned that the presentation
of the peace terms will take place In
the most beautiful apartment of the
old palace, which is located on the
first floor and approached by grand
staircase, the walls of which are EN-
blazoned with royal devices.
Two groups of nearby villas have
been requisitioned for the Austrian
and Hungarian delegates. 1t is pur
posed to conduct the negotiations sep
arately, but if possible they will be
carried on simultaneously.
Rantzau Writes Two Notes.
Two additional notes were filed with
the French foreign Office by Count
Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau, head OF the
enemy delegation. The first stated
that Germany already has many of the
reforms contained in the labor section
of the treaty and proposed that an
international law conference be called
In Versailles at once to revise this ar
ticle.
The second asked that the 100000
German war prisoners who are to be
repatriated be guaranteed adequate
food and clothing.
Couriers Sent to Berlin.
Couriers are rushing back and forth
between Versailles and Berlin like
shuttlecocks, keeping the German gov
ernment posted on progress of the of
fetal translation of the treaty and
whatever information is gathered by
the delegates.
