To release news that concerns

take precedence to any news
that would interest but few.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

1t is welcome news to know that the
City Council, local organizations ana
business men are cooperating in pro-
viding Christmas decorations again,
and in an economical way.
The Christmas spirit radiates from
a town that is well lighted and APP
propriately decorated.
Since the strings of lights and rho
dodendron were going to cost a con-
siderable sum this year, it was wise
to substitute other forms of decoration
less expensive but just as effective.
There will be a central unit on the
Episcopal church lawn, and individual
curb trees all along the business sec
ton. With the decorations of individ-
ual homes, these should provide .
proper atmosphere for the observance
of the birth of Christ.
With the outward spirit taken care
of, it will be up to each individual
to think seriously on the significance
of Christmas and of his obligation to
his Creator.

THE DREADFUL COST OF
MODERN WAR

Although within recent years thru
studying the costs of government, we
have accustomed ourselves to what are
called astronomical figures, accord
ing to the Cumberland Evening Times
of last Thursday evening. Still those
are astounding statistics which Har-
old Smith, secretary of the Cumber-
land Chamber of Commerce, brought
back from the Defense Day sympos-
ium recently held in Baltimore. We re-
fer, of course, to the cost of war, or to
put it more effectively, to the cost of
killing one man in war. Human life
is cheap in the eyes of those who make
war, but the cost of taking a human
life-and that, after all, is the princi-
pal means through which wars are
won-is expensive to those who must
bear the burden.
Mr.. Smith has pointed out, and he
got his figures from those at the Bal
timore meeting who are authorities on
the subject, that as far back as the
Punic wars when Caesar was the Hit
Ter of Europe, it cost IS cents to kill
soldier. The killing was done with
sword and spear. There wasn't even
gunpowder to buy. The army Travelled,
of course, but on foot or horseback. No
steam for railroads had to be consid-
cred OF gasoline and oil for motor
trucks. During the thirty-five years
war in Europe the figure had in
creased considerably. By that time it
cost $50 to kill a man. But to bring
the matter nearer home, let's exam
inc the figures as applied to the Civil
War in this country.
For every man killed in this la
mentable conflict it cost the people,
north and south, $4,000 Just think of
that. But even then we were dealing
with a low death cost. Today it costs
$4,000 to take a human life in war
By presenting these figures Mr..
Smith makes a solid build-up for the
necessity of a defense program in this
country even though such a program
will cost this nation fifteen billion
dollars. Even should it cost more, it
will be cheap, for war itself would be
far, far, more expensive.
And what is more, we cannot escape
the idea that the expense Of war is
not to be measured entirely in dollars
and cents No, that is the smallest part
Of the expense.
The real cost of war consists of the
lives that are lost, of the anguish
caused to families and to the many
scourges which follow as the after
math of war.
We feel that as result of the facts
and figures Mr.. Smith brought home
from Baltimore every person in Cum
berland will have a better understand
ing as to the why and wherefore Of
the present defense program. To carry
that program through to it's ultimate
conclusion will mean sacrifice-sacri-
flee on the part Of every one of us.
But it is well worth it!

RED HOUSE LUTHERAN PARISH
A X Zones Pastor

Next Sunday morning the pastor
will speak on the subject, "The Final
Victory of Christ" 1t will be shown
that even in the darkest periods, when
humanity seemed to have lost its way,
Gods grand purpose of Redemption
was clearly revealed to at least few
of the faithful. Nations and their
leaders may defy Him for a time, but
the seeming defeat of the forces Of
Righteousness is but a brief prelude
to their downfall The Church of
Christ is never forced to parley or
compromise with evil forces; the
Christian ever follows the example of
the Saviour who refused to yield when
offered all the kingdoms of this world

days to build modern cantonment, the progress of building in the camps, which started only last September, ranges from satisfactory to remarkable. Housing, clothing, and elementary weapons are ready for the large influx of men to come after the first of the year. Heavier and more complex weapons are not yet on hand in quantity. Instructors for the men are being rapidly trained. Training is practical and intensive. Discipline seems good without being oppressive. Morale of the men is excellent; officers are better qualified than in 1917
 Industrial leaders believe that Ameri- can industry is producing all that could be expected as fast as any realistic per son could desire. They express the ut most confidence that production of war materials, once started on a quantity basis, will surprise ourselves" as Chair man A. w. Robertson of Westinghouse put it. With very few exceptions the cooperation of labor and management in defense work has been freely offered.
 Naval building is proceeding, Admiral Sterling says, "aS fast as anyone who knows shipbuilding could expect" though new yards must be built to expand ca pacity In short, in the preparedness effort, there is room neither for complac- ency nor for despair. But we must not relax for moment. The pace is faster. It must continue in rising tempo until we wield such force that American policy may be determined not by what others do, but by what we as Americans decide is right for us to do.
