~ VIII"

Too much we have conceded to
the incompetent and the laggard.
There are races that should be re-
served for the swift and battles that
should be won only by the strong.
These are the legitimate rewards
of strength and swiftness.
The world is rather more than
half full of people who r content
with thai measupe of effort which
will barely enable them to exist. The
rewards are none too abundant for
the man who wins by the power of
will.
The ability to say II will' is one
of the finest assets of human life.
Without it no man can ever become
really great.
Whatever a nan may have or lack
this is indispensable. He must be
able to say, Il WILL"
Then he must be able to do what
he has said he would do.
There are three kinds of people in
the world. Most people say there

The first is the kind who mean to
do right.
The second is the kind who mean
to do wrong.
The other is the kind who have no
particular purpose of either kind.
You can love the man who is de-
termined to do right. YOU can adj
mire the ability and decision of the
man who deliberately does wrong.
But you a have only contempt for
the man who has no character of
either sort.
There is a verse in the Bible about
the man who is neither cold nor hot:

A man with weak will can
strengthen it. 1t is not necessary
for him to yield to ~laziness, to temp
tation, to u~nkindness, to bad temper.
1t is a mans privilege to assert
his w will, and be strong and clean
and true and successful.

ALIEN PROPERTY SOLUTIONS
SOON UP TO L. s. SENATE

Washington, d. c., Sept. 27.-Now
that the peace treaty negotiated be-
tween the United States and Germany
is before the Senate for ratification
questions concerning the s500.o00,0 ,000
worth Of property held by the Alien
Property Custodian have arisen.
Thomas w. Miller, the Alien Proper
~ Custodian, has recommended that
this property be held as an Offset
against the claims of American citi-
zens against Germans for the Lusitan-
Ia and other sinkings. In addition to
that groups of business men in New
York have suggested that the property
be- held as a basis for the resumption
OF trade between the United States and
the Central Powers. leaving the origi-
nal German and Austrian claimants
VI the property 70 obtain their return
out VI their own Governments.
Colonel Miller states that the reser-
walton offered by Senator Pomerene
OF Ohio. 70 Article ] of the treaty
protecting citizens of the United
States, as well as the United States
Government itself, was one Of the
amendments originally offered by him
o. the Knox peace resolution when il
was before the Congress in June, but
which at that time was not adopted
The Pomerene reservation to Article
reads as follows:
That the words United States shal
Pc construed TO include the United
States and its nationals"
The Senate IS expected TO adopt this
afnendment, which was originally rec.
oinmended by Colonel Miller, because
u makes certain that the property
rlshis OF American citizens will h,
protected.
