and very successful business man,
said "Any-person who comes out of
this war with more money than he
had in the beginning ought to be
ashamed of himself. The 600 men
applauded this remark to the echo.
These men were sincere in their APP
plause, but, oh the pity of it, that
noble natures would so soon relapse
to a comatose condition. Not few
of those men who came out of the
war with hundreds of thousands >of
dollars added to their wealth, and in
some cases millions. There are more
mlllionaires today than before the
war. On the other hand, wages have
been increased enormously. Never
have the working men had so much
money TO spend: and never have they
INDUCED in so many Injuries. Never
have they been so determined that
the situation developed by the war
should work out to their own pecuni-
arv class advantage. And all this
while men were giving themselves to
fight and die for the security of the
world receiving for such hazard and
sacrifice the munifcent sum of $50
month. And this while capitalists
were greedily augmenting their cap
ltal and wage earners were demand
ing and receiving larger and still
larger pay.
ANY man who comes out of this
war with more money than he had
when the war begun ought to be
ashamed of himself" And the 600
applauded, but they are not applaud
ing now. Is it because they are not
ashamed? Would that they were.
Our brethren from Great Britain are
right after all 1t is. the spirit of the
cross that will save the world.
In his great story on Lincoln Irv-
ing Batchelder describes Lincoln's
ideal of nation as composed of cit
liens that are not competing rivals,
but democratic family of friends.
A stable and successful democracy
cannot long maintain itself on sell
fish basis. It's onl'- deliverance is in
the spirit of the cross.
Gov. Coolidge struck high note
in his recent address at his home ,
town celebration when he referred to
the schoolhouse and the church as
the bulwarks of American civiliza-
ton. Thes democratic nations of the |
world, each through the internal |
greed which sways and disrupts
them, and all through their selfish |
one against the other, are
going down to ruin unless there is |
quick and sure and widespread re-
vival of the spirit of the cross.
Do we really mean that the great |
heroic dead shall have died in vain? |
Then let US take the proper side in
the tragic contest which even now is
going on. For the spirit of human
apd self-seeking
wrestles with the Spirit of the cross.
We must somehow manage to get
within the shadow and power of the
cross,-there as nowhere else to re-
ceive the spirit that works no i'll to
fellow man.

THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE

The institute believes that before a
woman needs English, she needs pro-
lection and some one to talk to her in
lr WI language, 81 a trained social
wOrker,-a woman born in a foreign
land who speaks the language of the
woman visited,-gOes to visit her.
The newcomer is then invited to
come and enroll in English classes
either in day or night schools. There
she is taught English, also American
cooking, sewing, home nursing and
American way of dressing. She is
also provided with recreation and
learns English through American
games and songsy Also, hikes and
weekend vacation trips to places of
civic interest are planned for her and
her loyalty to America is encouraged
by having her join in civic and patri-
otto celebrations.
\ An employment bureau also secures
work for her. All in all, the Interna-
tional Institutes are trying to be good
American societies and help foreign
women to become true American citi-
zens. Its workers act as interpreters
in court; cooperate with the Red
Cross in civilian relief apd in secur-
ing medical aid for non-English speak:
ing women and during the war assist
ed the draft boards, and assisted in
the camps.
Absolutely no charge is made by the
International Institute; it's advice, in
terpretations and time are given glad

Private Stockton was decorated for
unusual bravery in action near Lam
dres-et-St. Georges. France, October
IA, 1918. After working all morning
In rescuing wounded soldiers, Private
Stockton, stretcher bearer, learned
that man from another company was
lying wounded in shell hole, one hum
dred yards in advance Of the COM
pany's position. Ignoring oil warnings
as to the danger involved, he and
another stretcher bearer crawled to
thei shell hole under violent machine
gun fire and found that the man was
SO severely wounded that he could
only be carried on a litter. Although
the wounded soldier attempted to dis
suade him from so doing. Private
Stockton returned to our line, secured
a litter and proceeded once more 10
the shell hole in direct view OF the
enemy and under the most intense
FIRE from machine guns ESQ yards
away. He succeeded in reaching the
shell hole safely, but as he was plac-
ing the wounded patient on the litter
he was instantly killed. Private Stock
