THEIR GREAT MOMENT GONE
Writer Has Little Expectation Of Gre
alive Ability Being Displayed BY
Returned Soldiers.

The spiritual point Is this. writes
John Galsworthy in Seribner's. In
front Of man in ordinary civilized ex-
istence there hovers ever that moment
In the future when he expects TO prove
himself more of a man than he has yet
proved himself. For these soldiers OF
the great carnage the moment of pro
baton is already in the past. They
have proved themselves as they will
never have the chance to do again. and
secretly they know 1t. One talks of
their powers Of heroism and sacrifice
being wanted just as much in time Of
peace. but that cannot really be so,
because peace times do not demand
mems lives-which is the ultimate test
with every minute that passes. No,
the great moment Of their existence
lies behind them. young though so
many of them are. This makes them
at once greater than us, yet In way
smaller. because they have lost the
power and hope of expansion. They
have lived their masterpiece already.
Human nature Is elastic and hope
springs eternal, but a climax of ex-
perience and sensation cannot be re-
peated; | think these have reached
and passed the uttermost climax, and
In Europe they number millions.
This is veritable portent, and ! am
glad that in America you will not have
Ii to any great extent.
Now how does this affect the future?
Roughly speaking II must, think,
have q diminishing effect on what !
may call loosely-creative ability.
People have often said to me: 1--WE
shall have great writings and paintings
from these young men when they come
back" We shall certainly have
poignant expression Of their expert
ences and sufferings, and the best
books and paintings of the war itself
are probably yet to come. But, taking
the long view, I do not believe we
shall have from them, in the end, as
much creative art and literature as we
should have had If they had not been
through the war.

HUN FEELING IS UNCHANGED
German Clergy Still Talk Of Day OF
Triumph in Store for the
fatheriand.

The Glasgow Herald prints from
special correspondent some interesting
Information regarding the views of the
German churches on the peace treaty.
What. asked the writer. In the guild
ance offered by the churches at this
crisis In the affairs of the nation? We
are In no doubt as to its character. In
the Kreuz Zeitung recently Doctor
Conrad, one of the ex-kaiser's chap
iains. wrote homily on the attitude
which religious men should adopt to-
ward the peace which is being "dic-
lated TO Germany" He wrote: POS
sess your souls and do not despair.
God in his good time will turn our
sorrows into joy. Is there a German
man with the fear of God In his heart
who does not realize that this humilia-
ton is bot for time and that before
long the drama of the new fashion
ing of the earth will begin again?
When that time comes Germany will
rise supreme from the fire of her
trials. II was in 1901 that began
IL; that was the prelude; we are now
at the close of the second act. The
coming third act will give us our final
lace and God will be with us. All
IAN counsel is this: Be patient. Our
aour Is coming. Certainly, sign the
peace, for this will give us the breath
ing time we require and also time for
reflection"
In the Kirchen Anzeiger there Is a
sermon by Stadt-Pfarrer Brockhaus
headed what Is Now Our DutyT
The preacher after denouncing "the
cruel and incredible terms" of the
treaty, goes on: "There is a revenge
which is holy and ennobles all those
who nourish it in their hearts. We
cannot sit down under the awfu
humiliation. But we must wait Gods
time. We must wait for him to die
man people from weakness to strength
he who once blessed our efforts In
our world mission is Furnishing us nov
for our sins, but he has great worl
|, for us yet and he will see that we We
stand on the necks Of our adver
saries." All through these sermon
dealing with the peace and the pres
ent situation generally the German
clergy continuously exhort thei
flocks to be patient, to be steadfas
during the days Of tribulation. In |
perfunctory sort Of way they acknowl
edge that tribulation has come upol
the people because Of their sins ant
shortcomings, but the sins and short
comings have nothing to do with tn
guilt Of causing the war or with tn
ineffable crimes committed by Ger
many in the four years Of it's dura
! ton.

Amethyst Once Highly Priced.

On account of it's fine color, play Of
light and capacity for polish, the anne
thyst once held high rank as deco
rative stone, perhaps next to the sap
phire, but by reason of the discovery
of large quantities in Brazil its popu-
larity declined in Europe and conse-
quently its commercial value declined
in corresponding ratio.
OF all the quartz varieties the anne
thyst has been the most highly val
ued, and the most frequently used for
the art of engraving. The deep shades
are less brilliant and for this reason
the artists of antiquity preferred the
lighter shades. Consequently the an.
cient intagli occur almost invariably
on the light-colored specimens so that
engravings on the dark shade may be
suspected as modern.
But some of the specimens Of
Egyptian. Etruscan and Roman en-.
craving on amethysts are extant
among which may be mentioned the
gem bearing the likeness of the En-
peror Trajan, captured by Napoleon
when he conquered Prussia in 1906; 8
bust of Antonio, daughter Of Mark
Antony; the head of Syrian king
which is or was in the Pulsky collec
ton, and superb engraving Of Dios
corides, now In the national library In
Paris.

Will Go Back to Work In France.

If Charles w. Bradlee, Jr., former
ly teacher Of manual arts in Worces-
tel academy, Worcester. Mass, hadn't
been an obliging sort of gentleman, he
wouldn't be carrying shell splinter
today under his right cheekbone, so
cunningly lodged there that physicians
hesitate to operate for fear of his face
becoming paralyzed.
While worker with the Foyer du
Soldat in France, Bradlee consented
August Z to replace another worker on
the front line at Lhery. The other wei
fare man was away on leave so Brad
lee, with his knapsack filed with Y.
Nj G. A. supplies went up near the
front line. At that time jagged scar
caused by shell splinter was heal
ing on his forehead. He had been
working only a short period at Lhery
when Hun shell burst and he was
given another mementO of service. This
time the silver of flying shell lodged
In his cheek.
Bradlee learned to love the French
and will return to Flanders to work
among them In the devastated sections
as member Of the international COM
mittee of the Y. M. G. A. He said that
nc feels he will be able to aid perma-
nently wounded men in learning new
occupations.
