In the old days, when our country called men to the flag, they rallied to the colors, not knowing what would become of their. dear ones, if death “took them on the ‘field of battle. Months or. years after their. death congress ‘might or might ‘not provide for their dependents by granting a pension. This not only led to uncer- tainty and hardship for the families of men who laid down their lives for their country, but to huge’ pension scandals. The present administration wisely proposes to avoid the pension burden and, at the same time, render real justice to every man it calls into war service. In brief, the plan is for the government to go into the life and accident insurance business to protect its armed forces, just as it went into the marine insurance business to pro- tect American ships which hazarded the submarine-infested seas. As tentatively worked out, every soldier and sailor will automatically _ be insured for $4,000 without cost to himself. A scale of indemnities is also to be worked out, to cover vart ous injuries a man may receive dur- in wartime. Such insurance will také care of the man if he is wounded and survives, and will make some pro- vision for his family if he is wounded and dies. It is an enlightened plan. mane. It is just. When selective conscription is set in motion, many young men will be called into the armies who are at present protected in their states by workmen’s compensation laws. It would be manifestly unfair for the government to take them into a serv- ice in-wheh the hazards are far great- It is hu- ‘tttigs become legitimate because au- German is the}, every time he sits down or « chair that isn’t there and pretends to be hurt, when, as a matter of fact, every small boy knows he enjoys it.

SPIRITUAL, An issue between ,autocracy and, democracy. is, finally, a.spiritual com- bat. Autocracy demands the sacrifice of everything material necessity. The end sought, noble or base, becomes God, and. it becomes’ legitimate to de- stroy,, 4 hospital ship, a passenger ship, or women and children, or any- thingtielse precious or sacred. Such téciacy is law unto itself. Autocracy must be merciless and shameless, else it undermines itself. It must rely upon material things, because it asks of its tools sacrifice of all spir- itual sentiment. German autocracy could cheerfully and consistently dec- orate the commander who murdered the women and children of the Lust- tania, for the reason that he execut- ed the law of necessity, and necessity knows no law save that of autocracy. The end justify the means. Might is right. This is materialism, without equivocation and ,stripped of all de- grees of ambiguity. Democracy is an appeal to the spir- itual. It requires loyalty to ideals that promote high aspirations. It re- quires suppression of selfishness and the jealousies of private interests. The individual is not debased, but it is required of him that he be better and stronger than ever before for the good of all. The purposes of democracy are peace, progress, equal- ity, justice, fraternity and the great- est possible opportunity for happi- ness, Appealing to such ideals cf men, democracy has its laws that are not al'rogated by immediate necessi- ty. It knows mercy. It kills to save. It recognizes that, after all,-in spite of every variety of color and race, all men are brothers, and that all men have the unalienable right to pursuit of happiness. It makes war with its justification. based on the spiritual, not with the indiscrimina- tion of rabid autocracy. The Siars and Stripes represents somethirg holy, as well as virile. It represents not only the power of a great people, but the beneficence of an Almighty God, who gave the opportunity for foundation and growth of such ideals as universal brotherhood. “The glory of the comiag of the Tord!” For that America is in the war on the side of democracy, and, spiritually, man. has always moved forward, forward!

THIS IS YOUR WAR, (An appeal* issued by the Military Training Camps’ association.) Our government did not declare war on Germany. It declared that a state of war exisitéd, because Germany was already committing acts of war on us. Germany was sinking American ships and drowning American citi- zens, and declared her intention of so continuing to do. Germany was paying agents to burn and destroy American fac- tories. Germany was trying to incite Mexico and Japan to fight us. Germany was filling our coun- try—even our government offices —with spies and hostile agitators who “set criminal intrigues every- where afoot.” If we are beaien, what have we a right to expect? What Germany has already in- flicted on conquered peoples: Men driven into slavery. ~ Women driven into slavery, worse than slavery. Huge indemnities that cripple all industry. The loss of personal freedom. In Germany the people exist for the sake of the military class. shall sake of the people. The kaiser declared: ,“Noth- spread Christianity.

There was a longline of farm buildings, built of gray stone and roofed with red tiles; there were fifteen or twenty stacks; a quaint, whitewashed house of consid: erable size, almost covered on the southward. side .with creepers; a row of cottages, and a gray-walled inclo- sure—stretching with its white tomb- stones to'the very brink of the descent: —in the midst of which was an ancient church, in ruins at the farther end, partly rebuilt with the stones of the hillside.

The, valley sheer below them and-the lower hills on both sides, were parcéled,out into fields, inclosed withir ‘stone’ walls, reminding her from the heightigt which they stood, of nothing so much as ffié quilt upon her bed. Her eyes swept this strange tract, of country'ackward and forward. She saw the men like specks in the fields the cows grazing in the pasture like toy animals. Then she turned anc looked,at the neat row of stacks and the square’ of farm buildings. “I amtrying hard: to realize that you ,ate a farmer aud that this is your life,” she said.

She studied the names upon the tombstones, spelling them out slowly. “The married people,” he went on, “are buried on the south side; the single ones and children are nearer the wall. Tell me,” he asked, after a moment’s hesitation, “are you married company. "=W. L.
