Souls Sacrificed

u EMARQUE makes good in
IN promise. The reader must
comprehend that the German and
the American friend and foe, all
sacrifice their souls under thc spir-
itual indignity of war.
Back in the old native days there
was talk Of atrocities and charges
were hurled back and forth be-
tween contenders. That was very
silly.
BY now We know that war itself
is the great atrocity and that there
is absolutely no limit to the b.u-
tality which f1ourishes iii it under
each and every flag.
There is neither explanation nor
redress. The wrongs of war are
too deep-grained and horrible.
Worst of all is the fact that the
very men who went into hell came
back incapable of giving effective
counsel to the world against any
repetition of the folly.
In many lands many Of the loud
est shouters for preparedness and
the nice preservation of national
honor are the very people who ex-

mankind had clear idea of the heavenly bodies.
They date back to the time when the heavenly
bodies we're thought to be quite small and quite far
away.
1t is obvious that the weather all over the world
is not the same. Consequently. since the moon shines
down on the entire darkened hemisphere equally. 1t
could not cause one kind of weather in country
and a different sort in the next.
The moon causes the tides. But this is mass &C

the oceans. But the oceans being liquid. SHOW the
effect of the tidal pull. The land gives so little under
the tidal pull of the that it is only with delicate
scientific instruments that the effect can be dis
covered
1t is easy to why the moon was blamed for
weather changes. Early man naturally was impressed
by the moon In almost every pagan religion, the
moon is identified with some god or goddess.
Early man did not understand natural causes.
Consequently, he looked for some deity to put the
blame on.
Today do not know much about the weather
as we would like TO. But know enough to realize
that the moon has nothing to do with it.

A STEP TOWARD LIBERTY
June IL


NNE of the most important events
" in the history of our republic
occurred on this date in l776, for
then congress appointed the COM
mission which framed the Declara-
ton of independence.
Two commissions, in fact, were ap-
pointed on this date, one TO prepare
a declaration and the other to frame
a plan of confederation.
On the committee which drew UP
the declaration we're Jefferson.
Franklin. John Adams, Roger Sher-
man and R. r. Livingston. They
reported to congress on June %,
ITS, but action was delayed for
several days.
When the declaration finally came
up for consideration it was passed
unanimously on July 4, 1776, by the
delegates of twelve colonies.
New York'S delegates could not
vote on the declaration. because
they had not yet been authorized to
support the movement for inde-
pendence.
Thomas Jefferson is credited with
having written the Declaration Of
independence almost in its entirety
At least, in the form in which it
was submitted to congress and
adopted.
All the committee members doubt
1essly contributed their share to the
ideas incorporated in the docu-
ment.

somehow different with the Ger

came in 1918.
It is there notion that insufficient

THE experience of Hannibal

man named Smith were the only
ones present.

Then they adopted a platform
and nominated candidates. after
which Hamlin ordered Smith to

Smith found some difficulty in do
ing this. whereupon Hamlin pro-
ceeded to dictate. write he or

But protested Smith, "how can

Of us are present?'
