A German Grace.

Time was when the hosts of German
clergymen. anointed ministers Of Gott,
were modified to do duty in the intel
lectual poison gas department. the inn
perial Germany army Theirs was the
task to make the German people forget
the Nazarene teachings, to keep the
flames of bloodthirst burning and to adj
minister communions of hatred. There
was the celebrated Pastor Yorwerk,
whose paraphrase on the Lord's Prayer
holds easily the world record for bias.
phemy through the ages
Though the warriors, bread be scanty,
do Thou work daily death and tenfold
woe unto the enemy. Forgive in merci-
full long suffering each bullet and each
blow which misses its mark Lead US
not into the temptation of letting our
wrath be too tame in carrying out Thy
divine judgment Deliver us and our ally
from the internal enemy and his servants
on earth. Thine is the kingdom, the Ger

clad hand, achieve the power and the

But where are the SHOWS of yesterday i?
On Nov. II, 1918, Colt was demobilized.
His lieutenant on earth is to-day saving

Too Much Jazz.

There will be plenty Of sympathy for
the group OF artists that has entered a
solemn protest against fellow tenant
because of the excessive amount Of jazz
music produced at unseemly hours in the
latter's apartment The time has come
for calling halt TO the general jazziness
of things. Not long ago a tailors con.
vention decreed that we should wear
jazz clothes, the explanation or excuse
being that the Europeans are going in
for tins style.
1t has been suggested that the war
was brought on by the dance craze that
had such vogue just prior to the out
break of the struggle. If so we should
be warned and an anti-jazz league should
be formed TO reduce the percentage Of
jazz in everyday existence TO at least
2.75. 1t is evident that greater per
centage is conducive to state of intox
ication highly dangerous to the national
morale. The only objection to such ac.
tion is that we may be deprived of our
jazz while the rest of the world is going
the limit
This would create situation similar
to that produced by prohibition. Mr.
Ford declared on the witness stand the
other day that in his opinion European
drinking caused the war. If there is
anything in this theory we should look
to our national defenses, for Europe in
tends to keep on drinking while we are
merely jazzing. How nation of jazzers
would come out in conflict with com
bnation of drinking European countries
is a grave question. Brooklyn Eagle

Winston Churchill on Russia.

Winston Churchill, as secretary for
war, made to the British House of Com
mons Tuesday an interesting statement
on British policy in Russia which would
have been more interesting still if he
had explained where the defeat of Kol-
chalk and the detection of the Russian
army on the Omega front left the policy
which he had outlined in similar state
ment early in June. Then the program
was for the advancing Kolchak armies,
then far west of Perm, to Join hands
with the Archangel forces, which would
enable the allies to turn over the fighting
to the Russians and withdraw with hon
or.
Since then opposition to the Russian
adventure has forced something like a
pledge that the troops will be withdrawn
by November, but there now seems little
hope that it can be done in that way. In
June he presented as the alternative to
continuing the campaign the removal OF
Russian refugees who feared the ven
geance of the bolsheviki. This he re-
jected as an impossibility, but since he
gave the number who would have to be
cared for at but 10000 or 10000 it may

would be cheaper to transport them and
TO care for them indefinitely than to con-
Stinue the war.
1t is worthy of note that Lord Robert
Cecil, who last year took quite differ
ent line, spoke Tuesday in favor of pa.
cific relations with the soviets So many
of the most influential statesmen in diff
ferent countries have come over to this
view that it is probable that unless the
advocates of military solution can
smash the red armies and overthrow the
soviet republics this year they will not
be allowed longer to block bona fide
effort at peace by negotiation.-Spring
