WILSON AND TAFT TOGETHER

IT HERE'S no politics in the League OF Nations
L program. Any shrivel-souled senator or other
obstructonist who attempts to make it polti-
cal issue is thoroughly discredited by the actual
status, The open mind OF the multitude recognizes
the league movement as a forward and upward step
for all mankind. Only the semi-devcoped mentality
that deals in picayune policies thinks otherwise
The forthcoming meeting in New York, where
President Wilson and ex-President Taft will speak
from the same platform, each advocating the League
of Nations the and only solution OF world
problems is proof of the nonpartisan character OF the
movement far as it relates to this country
1t has been said that Mr. Taft is to be read out OF
the republican party" because OF his views on this
matter There is OF course probability that any
such reading-out will be done, but even il such
thing were to come to pass Mr. TAFT could stand it
better than the republican party His expulsion from
the party would remove the most admirable member
Of the G.. O. P. Taft is not republican anyway, in
the old stand-pat sense; he is TOO highly enlightened
for that.
1t is a matter OF rejoicing that the intellectual and
spiritual leaders of our two foremost political parties
can stand together on platform and urge with
voice the creation OF a society in which all civil
lied nations bind themselves for the common good OF
all mankind Right thinking persons everywhere will
join in the rejoicing Shoulder to shoulder these two
great leaders stand four-square against the noxous
winds that blow from the morass OF ignorance, pre-
udice and general human cussedness The world
moves forward.

EACH AMERICAN GRAVE
IN EUROPE is BEING
PHOTOGRAPHED SINGLY

London, Feb. 2S.-The American
Red Cross has recruited photograph
crs in, London for the stupeudous
work OF taking individual photo
graphs OF every American soldiers
and sailors grave in Europe. This
is required by regulations. Army
law also stipulates that each grave
must be marked by a cross four feet
6 inches high, bearing plainly the
name and service number of the
dead.
An approximation OF the number
OF photographs to be taken may be
made from this total of Yank
graves: In France, 10000; in Eng
land, 1900; in Russia, 100.
The photographs will be close
ups, large enough to show the iden-
tifying names and numbers.

"WAACS" ORGANIZED
FOR DOMESTIC SERVICE
IN MERRY ENGLAND

London. Ian. 24.-(Correspond-
euce of the Associated PreSs).-
The need of domestic servants is
so scriouly felt in England since the
girl servants became munitions
workers that Lady Londonderry,
president of the Woman's Legion,
is heading a we'll organized move
ment for the employment as SER
wants of large numbers OF the Wom-
en-, Auxiliary Army Corps, now
being demobilized. About 5000 OF
the "Waacs" will be available for
domestic work, it is estimated. 1t
j., hoped they will help to relieve
the servant shortage.
The chief points OF the scheme
Lady Londonderry explained, are
a minimum wage, definite leave, in
terchange OF work, badge and uni-
form, and a system OF probation.
I'VE thought it best not to at
tempt 4 stated working day, but
TWO hours leave must be given cy-
cry day, four hours on Sunday, and
one-hali day week. Fourteen days
holiday, with wages, must be given
each year.
All servants sent out by the Le-
gion will consist at first OF our own
members, most OF whom have seen
three or four years war service. At
present, we are conhning the scheme
to servants that live in homes
where they are employed but il it
proves 4 success we shall under
take a similar scheme for servants
living out and for mattresses and
hotel staffs."

1t is the sunny day on which the
serpents come out.
Reptiles and wild beasts do not
leave their lair, and dcns ON dark
days when the clouds arc low and
the rain or snow make uncomiort-
able a walk in the open.
1t is during the days OF greatest
prosperity from a material stand
point that the serpent, OF tempta-
ton come forth; that the wild
beasts of anger, intolerance, pride
and lust venture out TO bcsct the
pathways OF mankind. 1t is during
the days OF prosperity and health
that we are most tempted to >Wcrye
from the straight and narrow way
which leadeth TO lie, for it j., at
such times that we cease most to
set our affections on things above.
This simply means that in proper
ton as we do this we are worship
ping "other gods for that is ones
cod to which he gives most OF his
thought, time and attention, wheth-
err he realizes ii or not.
The less trouble one has, the more
he is tempted to think and do those
things which cause trouble.
This NAV be for the reason that it
is when one is down in the depths
that he thinks most OF God and
Graves most His mercy and love. We
trouble much about the pcsyilence
which walketh in darkness but we
should give more attention 70 the in
sects, reptiles and beasts which be-
set our pathway during the glowing
MONDAY OF material prosperity. Few
indeed, comparatively speaking, are
those who have sought TO draw
nearer to their Lord during their
most prosperous days, while on the
other hand many have been those
who have drawn so near as to reach
His hand and let Him lead them ever
after while down in the valley OF the
shadow, or while struggling with
discouragement\and despair, The
Psalmist says: 1T is good for me
that | have been afflicted, that !
might learn the statutes" 1t i:
when a man realizes most clearly his
own helplessness that he calls upon
Him who is omnipotent; it is then
that he follows the admonition oI
the Apostle when he says, Draw
nigh unto God, and He will draw
nigh unto you" Again the Psalm.
ist exclaims with gratitude, "He
hath not despised, nor abhorred, the
affliction of the afflicted, but wher
he cried unto Him He heard And
il is they who have come out oI
great tribulation" who can say with
rejoicing, They that know Thy
