THE WAY TO BETHLEHEM

Long was the way to Bethlehem
To those. who sought of old,
BY burning sands and bitter springs
And nights of haunting cold.
: Bearing their nard and frankincense.
J.. Their precious gems and gold
Hard was the way to Bethlehem.
So far II seemed. SO far.
BY flowerless wales and arid slopes
And barren heights that bar.
With ne er an omen for guide
Until they. saw the star.
But then the way to Bethlehem.

Joy was theirscomrade. those who trod
Ger bruisIng shard and stone,
Until they found for king Child,
A manger for His throne
Upon the way to Bethlehem.

However dim and rough the path
May not our footsteps cease,
Since at the end for us awaits
The guerdon Of His peacei

Good Education Valuable.

In the Chicago public library
there are listed just 81 different
books on Plumbing" and at the
end of the list is a card which says
'See also: Hot Water Supply,
House Sanitation Pipe Fitting,
Solder and Soldering Sanitary En-
cheering Sewerage Steam Pipes
and Water Pipes"
When you get through looking at
this list you will wonder how any
man can be a plumber without a
college education. Plumbing is a
science; it requires education.
In high school you should pay
especial attention to physics and
chemistry. Learn all you can about
metals and the effect which water
has on them. Study also mechanical
drawing if you can, for later you
will have to work with blue prints
all the time.
If you are going to be plumber,
you better start to get ready, for,
in addition to all these things, you
must learn how to be an independ-
ent business man.
Next week: "Salesman.")

Allies solidly United on Treaty.

In the last analysis Germany will have
to sign these terms OF peace. Her re-
the moment and for effect, Vill have no
other result than to set in motion the
allied armies along the Rhine, now
ready to move. Any considerable les
SEEMING of the terms Is now inconceiv-
able, and. SO far as one can see, the
allies are at the present time, and SO far
as the German question is concerned
squarely and solidly united. do not
think there has been anything like an
Approximate unity at any stage In the
Paris conference.
Turning for the moment to the ulti-
mate burden of German protest, it is
plain that there are two things upon
which the Germans mean to concen-
trate: First, the financial clauses. and
particularly those clauses which post
pone the fixing of the financial
amount Germany must pay for several
years. Germany is bound to ask to
be relieved of this continuing SEN
tence. She is certain to ask the vic
tors to Ak upon a sum which will
comprehend her total Indebtedness to
them and they are equally certain to
refuse. since in no other way than by
an estimate of Germany's actual re-
sources some time in the future can
payment for German destruction.
This phase of the peace treaty is at
once the most drastic and the most
important, since it prolongs for at
least fifteen years the period when
Germany will be under duress, and in
this way 1t Is the portion Of the treaty
most distasteful to the Germans.
Secondly, Germany will protest against
certain territorial changes, and par
ticularly will she object to the trans
fer Of her eastern districts to the
Poles. Without much doubt, Germany
recognizes the necessity Of accepting
the loss Of Alsace Lorraine. That is
finished. She will use the Saar valley
detail to make such moral capital as
she can in alleging a violation of Mr..
Wilson's fourteen points But the
Saar valley Is a small area and the
terms of French possession provide for a
possible reversion to Germany.
BY contrast, IL Germany loses her
Polish provinces. she will lose nearly
an eighth of her area, some Of her
best food-producing regions, one of
her great industrial districts, and
East Prussia will be separated from
the rest of Germany by the Polish COR
ridor. The work of Frederick the
