A PROPHECY WHICH APPLIES to
GERMANY

Some people may regard it as
merely an interesting coincidence, but
many will find deep significance in
the fact that the armistice was signed
on the eleventh hour of the eleventh
day of the eleventh month, and III
the eleventh verse of the eleventh
chapter of the eleventh book of the
Holy Bible it is written: Wherefore
the Lord said unto Solomon, For
asmuch as this is done of thee, and
thou hast not kept my covenant and
my statutes, which ! have command
ed thee, l will surely rend thy king
dom from thee, and will give it to
thy servant" The words &c. tainly
fit the past deeds and present state
of Wilhelm Hohenzollern, and the
taking over of the government of
Germany by the people.

THE MISSION OF THE RED GROSS

No simpler, cleaner or more COM
prehensiVe statement of the mission
of the Red Cross and the privilege OF
its members ever has been or ever
viii be formulated than is contained
in the XIV Chapter of the gospel &C
cording to st. Matthew, from the 34th
to the 10th verses inclusive:
Then shall the King say unto
those on his right hand, Come We
blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world.
For 1 was an hungered, and we
gave me meat; | was thirsty, and ye
gave me drink; | was a stranger, and
We took me in.
Naked and ye clothed me; l was
sick and ye visited me; l was in
prison and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungered, and fed thee? or
thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee stranger,
and took thee in? or noked, and
clothed thee?
"Or when saw we thee sick, or in
prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and
say unto them, verify, | say unto
you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my
brethren, we have done it unto me.
What better description of the
work of the Red Cross could be given
or what higher reward promised to
those who engage in that work?

1t sent presents to each man deco

1t supplied books for all soldiers.
It installed a recreation and writing

HOW THE WAR HAS BRED
MILLIONAIREs


A little over decade ago there
we're about 6oO0 millionaires in
America. Now there are %, 696 and
they own more than one-fourth OF
The national wealth Ten men own
one per cent OF the wealth of the
United States, and one man about
One-half OF one per cent of the
wealth. hlillionaires increase more
RAPIDLY than the national wealth. and
they never increased so rapidly as
in the last four years They have
tnrned the peoples patriotism into
gold; they will be permitted to coin
the blood of the American soldiers
and sailors and the toll of the farm
ers into billions unless their profits
are taxed into the public treasury.
Unless the farmers act Immediately
and compel congress to pass an hon
est revenue bill with equality of fin
ancial sacrifice the American people
will lose in the contest with these
privileged profteers. The senate
finance committee has materially re-
duced the taxes on incomes of $4,000
TO 100000 and reduced even more
heavily the estate tax rates on all
large estates adopted in the house
revenue bill There is already talk
of floating heavy additional loans
which would permit these billion
aires, near-billionaires and million
aires TO retain much, if not most of
their huge unearned incomes. Will
you not promptly write to your Unit
ed States senators and the congress-
men from your state, instructing
them to secure equality of financial
sacrifice in the pending revenue bill?
Let us not lose in America the war
which we have won in Europe. This

pie compel congress to serve them.
instead of the interests. Privileged
wealth must be taxed heavily until
the cost of the war is fully paid, The
total national income this year is
about $72, 100000 One per cent

part to make privilege and wealth

PURIFYING THE NATION

1t is reported that the department
of justice will soon recommend to
congress the deportation of most OF
the several thousand enemy aliens
now interned in the United States.
This is a good move as far as it goes,
but it does not go far enough. Every
man and woman who during the war
declined to fight for or make sacri-
fees for the nation, or who by their
words and deeds lent aid and comfort
to our enemies should be forced to
leave the United States. In no other
way can the nation be purified by the
fiery ordeal through which it has
passed.
People who have come to our
shores of their own volition or who
have made their homes in this coun-
try in order to enjoy the opportuni-
ties and privileges which it offers, but
who in its hour of danger refused to
aid the nation are not good citizens
and should be cast out. Those who
tried to profiteer at the expense of
their countrymen or to shirk their
fair share of carrying the burden of
the war should be marked for social
ostracism in the communities where
they reside. To safeguard the future
of the nation, universal Americaniza-
ton is far more essential than uni
versal military training. If we can
rid ourselves of the traitors and list
the slackers who slowed up the war
nrogram; If we can point the finger
of shame at those who devoted their
energies to making as much as pos
-sible out of the war instead of to put
ting as much as possible into the
war; if we can expose the hypocrites
who posed as patriots but were dis
loyal in thought and deed, then the
nation will have been purified by the
conflict and will emerge from 1t
stronger than ever, because the sheep
have been separated from the goats.
The coming of peace should be fol-
lowed by vigorous campaign against
those whom the fiery test OF war
proved to be disloyal or indifferent to
our government, and they should be
taught that there is no place in the
United States for traitors, slackers or
shirkers.
