AN EMPTY VESSEL

When he was just little child
He never wondered where
The wind came from and where 1t went,
Because he didn't care.
He never asked what made the rain,
Why night succeeded day
And why with lighted matches he
Was not allowed to play.
His parents had an easy time,
His questions were SO few.
They rarely had to camouflage
The little that they knew.
Unlike a lot of other tads,
He never wished to know,
Because he wasn't curious
Why things were thus and so.
And now that he's full-grown man
He hasn't changed bit;
His ignorance of world affairs
He's willing to admit.
The bolsheviki vex him not,
The leagpe of nations may
Be right ~ altogether wrong,
He really cannot say.
You ask him. "Why did Russia fall"
He drawls. 81 haven't heard"
rs Germany a menace still?'
He answers not word.
1--WE must prevent world wars hence
forth.
F I'm sure you cannot doubt it,"
ITO tell the truth" is his reply,
Il hadn't thought about it."
A MERE CITIZEN
Are you competent chauffeur"
YES, sir; drove a generals car in
France"
"Ahem. I'm afraid you won't do.
I'm not of sufficient Importance to
Justify my travelling at speed of 40
miles an hour whenever l have a bus
mess engagement to keep and I'm sure
the traffic policeman would not per-
init It."

Enjoys Visit to birmingham

"1 have greatly enjoyed my visit
to Birmingham" said DR.. Charles
E. Diehl, president of the Southwest
ern university at Clarksville. Tenn,
who preached at the South Highlands
Presbyterian church on Sunday az
both the morning and evening services
to attentive and appreciative audiences,
Naturally, as a religious educator,
am a great believer in all forms of
education, but | think that the en-
perience of Germany in education
shows conclusively that the education
which caters to material man without
giving thought to his spiritual nature
is colossal failure. / believe and
hope that out of the lessons we have
learned through the collapse of Ger
man kultur will come a strengthening
of our great secular colleges and uni
versities along spiritual lines

Men Are Made In
Maelstrom of War

a SALIENT characteristic of
IN American soldiers who are now
returning in such large numbers from
abroad is a breadth of vision which
many of them lacked before. They
have learned much-not the dry in
formation of textbooks, not merely
knowledge of life and conditions
abroad with which they were not IA
miliar before, but the truths that
make better citizens and better men.
In losing their provincialism they
have gained by contact with their
comrades clearer perception of duty
and sacrifice. They have learned how
to discriminate between the petty
things of life and the great things.
The change is noticeable in any one
of the thousands of American soldiers
who are already at home. They are
improved physically and mentally
They have gained self-knowledge and
|self-reliance.
On these men will fall the burdens
of citizenship in years to come. They
are destined to be leaders in America
and it is most encouraging to see how
fit they appear to assume the respon'
sibilities of the future.

|harge That Soldiers
Smoke Doped Cigarettes

SNR. CLARENCE TRUE WILSON,
~ whose middle name may or may
BIT have any bearing on the case, has
eade some remarkable discoveries re-
arding the use Of cigarettes among
american soldiers abroad. DR.. Will
lqn, who is secretary of the board of
temperance. prohibition and public
morale of the Methodist church, told
Dthe New Jersey conference at Ocean
Grove that soldiers under fire who
ncre unable to smoke for an hour be-
me $50 shaken they could not hold
S/fleir guns and had to be taken out"
DR.. Wilson stated that one of his
friends, a Y. M. C. A. worker, held
lighted cigarettes in his mouth to give
to soldiers when they came from the
battle line. GAS a result of this duty"
the speaker declared, "my friend is
now drug addict. He smokes 80 or
IS cigarettes day."
This DIR. Wilson is the same man
who made sensational charges about
a year ago regarding drunkenness and
venereal disease in the American
army, saying these evils care whip
ping American soldiers who have
reached France into the guardhouse
and hospitals by the thousands" He
was denounced by George Creel, chair
man of the committee of public infor-
nation, and his statements proved
libel on the American army.
One of the Pigments born in the
brains of professional Investigators
and reformers was that regarding the
use of drugs, not only among our own
soldiers, but among those of our al
es and Germany as well. 1t was
lidk1lat private soldiers We're "doped
before being sent into action to make
them oblivious of the horrors they
were to undergo. Nothing could have
been sillier or more unfounded, but it
gained credence. Men Supplied or
half-crazed by drugs would have been
worse than useless, either for often
sive of defensive fighting. They GER
tainly needed all the wits they pos
sessed.
The doped cigarette story seems to
be survival of these fabrications.
