JUCGERNAUT OF WAR CRUSHES ALL
IN PATH
CBv BRUCE CATION

(BV BRUCE Gal
To read of Belgium'S recent procIama-
ton of neutrality is to be reminded once
more of the desperate plight Of people VINO
have to live in the middle of great hlgh-
way for armies.
The people of Belgium might be the
greatest pacifistS, the most pronounced loN-
ers of peace. in all the world; nevertheless
they would have to live under the constant
shadow of war. For their little country Hes
between two great nations which nave 4
tradition of mutual enmity dating back tor
many generations. and the handleSt way
for these two nations to get at each other
is to cross the Flanders plain.
Belgium is one of those supremacy un-
fortunate countries which may at any MN
ute. be forced into war with which they
had nothing whatever to do.
In the late spring of 1914 the people Oh
Belgium should have been as we'll able to
look forward to continued peace as any
people on earth. They had no territorial
designs. no plans for expansion at someone
else's expense; they did not own anything
i'm particular that anyone else wanted
They were on good terms with everyone
and they would have been glad to stay that
way.
All this. as you can remember, did them
no good They simply stood in the way Oh
the juggernaut, and the war was unload
ed on their doorsted. The worlds armies
needed room to fight and the rich Belgian
fields were the handiest place.
What has happened now is just another
valiant attempt on the part of the Belgians
10 keep that sort of thing from occurring
again How far it may succeed is an open
question.
By renouncing the alliance with France,
they may disengage themselves from the
conflicting rivalries of Europe; yet, if Ger
many and France go to war again, and the
Germans display canny reluctance to butt
their heads against the iron line of French
forts, it is all too likely that Belgium once
more will find herself corridor for the
passage of armies.
1t is tragic situation; and, in sense,
it is a symbol of the situation in which all
the people of Europe find themselves these
days.
The thing they dread the most-war'
with all that it means in the way OF suffer-
ing and pain and loss - hangs over their
heads, put there by forces which, as indl-
vidual citizens, they are almost powerless
to change.
1t may come and it may not come-from
day to day they cannot tell-but there is
very little they can do to prevent 1T, tor
they live on a continent in which an intin-
itely tangled web of rivalries, fears, wrongs
and suspicious certainly must produce wal
soon or later.
Like the Belgians, they live in the path
of the juggernaut. Can any American look
at their plight without breathing devou'
prayer of thanksgiving for the supreme
good fortune which puts him in land able
to decide for itself whether it is to have
continued peace?

There are two sides to almost
any political question coming be-
fore the people; whether it be
government expenditures, county
finances. or the smallest detail Of
work with which an office holder
has to deal.
There cannot. however. BE- two
sides or two ways of looking at
an act like the one allegedly per-
formed in HooperS Greek the 9TH
er day in obtaining absentee ballot
votes.
The Democratic candidates for
office with all good men Of the
party should unite in repudiating
this asserted act and assure the
public that those responsible for
it will not share in the benefits of
any possible victory at the polls.
We need good men in office,
we need efficiency in the perform
ancr of this work but first Of all
we need honesty on their part.

of such criminals have been arrest
ed, convicted and punished.
The most difficult field in which
to attain results has been that of
automobile accidents. Every year
witnesses more deaths and injuries,
and greater property loss. In spite
of the most intensive work on the
part of insurance companies and
other private and public institu-
tions, the reckless, the incompetent
and the cogenitally dangerous
driver has not been curbed.
Here is where the general public
must assist if progress is to be
made. 1t must demand up-to-date
traffic laws, vigorously and imparti-
ally enforced. 1t must demand safe
drivers. And it must demand that
those drivers who refuse to operate
their casr carefully or are unable
to, be barred from the public high
ways.
We must do this in the interest
of our lives, our health, our pocket
books.

Two Minute Sermon
(sy THOMAS hASTWELL)

BE THOU CLEAN: The story is
told in Luke that in the early days
of Christ's ministry there came to
him one day a man full of leprosy;
who, seeing Jesus fell on his face
and besought him, saying, Lord, if
thou wilt, thou cans't make me
clean. And Christ put forth his
hand and touched him, saying,
will: he thou clean. And i'm
mediately the leprosy departed
from him. In those days leprosy
was a most dreaded disease. Those
who became afflicted with 1t died
slow and lingering death, ostraciz.
ed from friends and loved ones and
all society save the society Of those
afflicted az the were. To be sudden
ly cured of such loathsome disease
was a miracle that might well bring
upbounded joy to the person thus
saved. 1t made the body whole and
clean, it restored the Individual to
his home and friends, it lifted him
from the depths of bitterest despair
md opened for him a new life. 1t
completely changed his whole liv-
ing. Truly 1t was blessed
miracle. We are prone to think
that the days of mircles are past
and that no more are such wonders
wrought, but / am convinced that
such is not true. There are still
miracles today, miracles as great
and wonderful as the miracle of the
healing of the leper. l have seen
men stepped in sin, their self res
pect gone, ostracized from friends
and family and, associates, living
the life of animals. l have seen
them touched by the marvellous
redemptive power Of Christ and
made new men. have seen them
restored to their family and friends
and associates transformed into
new creatures with self respect re-
stored. Men again among their
fellowmen. Truly the day of
miracles is still here. Truly in res
ponse to the prayer: Lord, il thou
wilt, thou cans't make me clean,
the Christ still answers, / will: be
thou clean.

Reckless Drivers

"The future of the casualty and
surety business" wrote Henry
Swift Ives, Special Counsel for the
Association of Casualty and Surety
Executives, does not lie wholly
i'm indemnjfying victims of mis-
fortune; rather it lies in the pre-
vention of misfortune ITSELF"
For many years the casualty
industry has worked to prevent
accidents to workers, and that
work has saved thousands of Ives
and an untold sum of money. In
practically every industrial field,
accidents have grown fewer and
less severe-and the surveys and
recommendation made by the
casualty experts have been of i'm,
mense aid. Th ere has been a de-
crease in losses from burglary and
bank robbery, due largely to
the industry's work in fighting the
criminal and promulgating pro-
posals for strengthening the law and
enforcement agencies. The fake
accident racketeer," who robs the
pockets of every insurance policy
holder, has been given especially
aggressive attention and hundreds
