The coughing stopped.
l guess the army is the only
place where that happens. But,
doggone it, it's something that
ought to be said oftener. You
CAN hold back a cough if you
set your mind to it. and if Karl
Kruger were to tell of the Ma
sonic Temple audiences the

head in-well, maybe the cough

WELL. heretofore the forces
w OF selfishness, greed and
intolerance, have more or less
monopolized this magic key.
But one bright day those who
see the true path 10 better
things may be forced by neces-
sity to rouse from bigoted
torpor, TO discard their petty
theological differences, and to
resort TO Unity for self preser-
walton. When that happens,
hold your breath-for events
will squeeze between the second
hand! And then, in a flash, the
Christian Idealists' dream
will be recognized for what il
is--the starkest realism!
TfiE funny thing is that this
L Unity thing"-this key to
power-just happens TO be the
very essence of Christianity.
For If Christianity was ever
intended to be anything. il was
meant 10 be a Brotherhood. The
Brotherhood of man under the
Fatherhood of God
Yes, Brotherhood means
Unity, and IL the Christians of
this world ever see themselves
as Christ intended them TO be,
they will recognize themselves
as the greatest power that man
has ever known. But a power

WE HAVE. for a long time,
w been wishing each other
happy new year. We have blown
horns, ratified noisemakers,
drunk our fill of liquor and
good cheer.
But 1914 has not been a happy
year for any of us and may we
never see its like again.
And so, for 1915, speak not
OF happiness but of a good year
of a year that will bring TO
mankind the blessings of peace.
that will return our sons and
daughters to us. that will per-
NIT us to devote our lives fully
to reconstruction.
Now we enter upon MI.
RooGevelt's fourth term in Of
fee.
1 cannot but wonder what
history will say of the fourth
term.
This much seems obvious:
Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Dewey have proved themselves
TO be Unfortunately daring men.
For who would want the re-
sponsibilities that the President
of the United States must in
eVitab1y face in 1945?
Already, the quarrel between
Congress and the President is
bitter and even yindictive.
Would IL have been less so II
Dewey had been elected p
Certainly, he would have
faced as strong an inclination
in Congress 10 take over the
management Of the war
And had the Germans broken
through after Dewey was elect
ed. would il not have been said
that that happened because he
was elected?
And had Mr.. Churchill deliv-
cred his bitter speeches after
Dewey was elected, would IL
not have been said that he
spoke so because Dewey was
elected?
No one can know these thing
for sure or even guess at them,
for the ways Of the multitude
grow ever more obscure.
THERE c be only one reso-
Il luton for us on this New
Years Day and that is that we
pledge ourselves that war shall
never happen again.
It will be valuable 10 know
why this war occurred and
truly how We came to be in IL.
But that is hardly as important
as the decision that, after we
have defeated our enemies, we
shall organize TO maintain, il
not the peace Of the world,

Twice now our wealth has
been siphoned off in European
war and our sons have bled for

IS this: Your boy may be taking
his basic infantry training here
or in some other IRTC. If he's
normal, he doubtless feels that
he's gotten into something
pretty rough, and nobody cares
what happens TO him.
Well, it is rough, but when
generals of that rank come
poking around TO see what's
happening first hand--well, they
certainly care how your boy is
being trained. You couldn't
have the direct interest go much

DEAR MARY HAWORTH:

TliREE years ago, on my

my job and returned, with my

living in the same city with her

band entered the armed. forces
and my brother got married and
