The temporary possessor of a musical voice, trained to charm, exacts homage—not for the]: Heaven-sent gift, but the often unlovely person- ality of the physical instrument; that the voice will inhabit for a brief span. Many goddesses there are, beautiful in face and form, who demand nothing less than idolatry]. froma retinue of color blind hypnotics who wor-|' ship at the shrine of “beauty.” A brief illness, an accidental touch of fire and flame, a misstep in the dark and beauty is dethroned; leaving a de- formed goddess from whom the idolators flee. There is a god men may worship and not blaspheme the Almighty; the god of character. This attribute is lacking in all the gods hu- man idolators now worship. Character survives, ever, while the gods of our desires are of crum- bling clay, pitiful in their limitations. Character is divine of origin, the purpose of man’s creation, the only meaty kernel within the husk we call “the image of God.” ; ARE YOU A LOAFER? By loafer we are not referring to those unde- sirable citizens who do not work. We have in mind another class of undesirables, which Food Administrator Hoover rightly names “war bread loafers.” These are persons who eat more than a pound BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THE GRASSHOPPER AND T ply.

OUTDOORS There is no pain of the human heart, no fever of the mind whichis not assuaged and healed by a-day or an hour spent alone in quiet fields and gardens, under the open sky. We are at war and every heart is troubled and sad at war’s cost, and every mind is weary with endless questionings. But: summér has laid her gracious hands upon the earth and hung it with green draperies of trees and grass, filled it with soft airs, and covered us all with tender skies. : \ _ To all the stately wisdom of the trees and wide fields there is added the homely. comfort of the all-enfolding, grass and of our own gardens. _No mother of a soldier may walk among her roses, clip the sweet sprays of honeysuckle, or touch any of the bright children of the sun with- out a tender though of her boy and the flower he loved best, without a fresh resolve to keep her house and heart sweet and sunny as a garden for her son’s sake. eR No father of a boy in service can work among his thrifty rows of vegetables without thanksgiv- ing that it is in his power to make the earth yield food for his fighting son and all his brothers. These summer twilights many a fear and heart- ache is hoed under and buried deep in a prosper- ous garden, and many a quiet thought and glori- ous vision is found by a'tired man digging among his vegetables. ; Now is the time that we may find the heal- ing of the out-of-doors, a balm for all the year’s wounds to mind and spirit. The stars above us are no brighter in glory = the golden stars in our service flags down ere. A MATTER OF GODS The thing we make our god we idolize, be - it: power, money, strength, speed, ability or what- ever our especial human weakness may be. The “Me und Gott” chestnut has no refer- ence to the Divine Creator of the universe; Him the kaiser does not take into account, for he rec- ognizes no idol but power, himself the embqdi- ment of all wisdom—in short kultur. To Thor, the god of war, Wilhelm makes appeal. Not. as to a God, but.as a pal who understands his aspira- tions to rule the world. “Me und Thon” . If he could win there is no doubt his crown- ing act of madness would be to proclaim himself “gott” and demand idolatry of the prostrate na- tions of the earth. .

SO ‘ A niche high and. glorious in time's hall of fame is rightly deserved by the American’ ma- rines, It was not salve that President Wilson hand- ed the Mexican editors, but just plain hunks of truth-and candor. War’s heartaches come in largest measure to the mothers of those who have gone to fight our battles with the foe. / Why not strike beef entirely off your menu while your war garden is furnishing fine, health- ful, nutritious vegetables? ‘ . Surely the boys “over there” have the “first say” as to what they shall be called, so—HUR- RAH FOR THE YANKS! Just notice that it is the “American swine” who:are making the Germans squeal every time they meetin the shock of battle. We walt be so busy fighting and preparing for more fighting that we cannot listen to Ger- many’s camouflaged peace talk. Among the things we'll have to do to give the kaiser a thorough licking is to convince the prof- iteer of the error of his weighs. Congress is going to sweat some in drafting a new war tax law. But what the people want is a bill that will make the war some. £ Who says we are not a united country?

TAKECAREOR HUN AT HOME, URGES SMITH Pershing Man Declares: Ameri-, can People OweDuty to Boys at the Front TELLS OF HUN ATROCITY Yanks Ears and::Tongues Are Chewed. Off—Sent Back to Own’: Lines: Mutilated “You take care of the hua over her—we will take care of the hun over there. You ‘stand’:back: of ‘us over here, and we'll come hack,. bringing home the bacon, and it whl have the rind on it;? Corp. ‘Harold J. ‘Smith of Pershing's: fifty tok? an audience which packed the Auditorium on Mon- day evening to see the ‘opening of the ‘new government ‘war picture, “Pershing’s Crusaders,’ ond to hear One of’ the crusaders. “80-50 Patriotism.” Smith ‘bitterly denounce! fifty-fitty patriotism.” He warned his hearers to be on the watch for German treachery and Hunnish Mesa t home. One of tnese lies, declercd the’ corporal, is that our ‘boys in France are leading immoral lives. Nothing, he asgerted, could ‘be further from the truth, and he told of the wholesoine, clean lives the boys lead in camp and in the trenches and of how their vacations are safeguarded and the boys are shielded from all évil influences. “If your churches were made up of the same kind of decent fellows we have in the trenches over there this would be a wonderful country,” said Smith. ‘He complimented the chaplains who are going out into’ the trenches un- armed to administer to the spiritual needs of their boys. He told or Jewish rabbies ministering to Catho- lics, and of Catholic priests who give Protestants their last comforts. “There is no creed nor natjonality nor color in the trenches; there are no! Irish, no Dutch no Scotch, no Norwegians. They're just plain Americans over there.” \ implacable Hate. For the Hun he expressed the impla- cable hate which we find dominating the heart of everyone who has return- ed to us from the trenches over there, Even, such a gébtlé woman as Harriet Chalmers Adam$, who spoke, at the Auditorium on Sunday, votced this spirit. ' Bismarck,’ can ‘no longer dis- credit the stories that have ‘come to us of German atroel es when we hear them reiterated by eye Witnesses. . Smith spoke simply, as a” soldier should, without seeking for oratorical effect, and his message was the more convincing of that fact. Over and over -he drove, home the thought up- permost, ip the minds: of gur boys‘over there: “Are they standing ‘back of us? Are they stamping out sedition and treachery at: home while we ara fighting Hunnish “ hellishness over there.” \) Boys Are Happy. “The boys. over. thete Ye’ happy Yn the work they are doing. 'They are satisfied and contented ahd proud to be there. They'are confident. ' After two days in the trenches, after seeing the ‘first Hun atrocity, they lose all sense of fear. All they think of then is reveng. . But they want to know that you are standing back of them over here. You stand back of them and, they'll come back to you. Fai! them, and they/ll be ashamed to ever show their faces here again.. They will not come back to a country which has failed them.” - + German Atrocities, Smith related from personal ob- servation incident after incident of German atrociousness which coming from another would be almost unbe- lievable. He. told of Americans cap- tured by ‘the Germans and sent back }| to their own lines with legs and arms and ears‘hacked off, tongues torn out. “Sometimes when a knife was not han- dy, their tongues and their ears were literally. chewed off,”’ said the soldier. “Very soon now, these cripples will be furloughed home. They will begia coming over as living witnsss of Ber- lin’s brutishness. After they get here you will not have to handle the Hun here at home. They'll get to him— they will take care of him somehow.” Smith introduced himself as a 100 percént American,’ whose message was for 100 percent Americans. “There's a placé for Americans whose quality is not 100 percent, but it is not in America,” said the corporal. ' i ’ Box Speaks. Thg.speaker ‘was introduced by Sec. retary’Thomas Allan Box of the state council of defense, who briefly out- lined; the creation of the national and state” councils and the work which they are attempting to do, “When Gov- ernor Frazier named the members of the North Dakota Council of Defense he announced he would fire imme- diately any: man’ he found playing pol- itics or working to advance his own interests. “We are telling the county councils the same thing, and we have ancient enemies, men long at outs pol- itically, working side by side in these councils. They know no politics, no religion—nothing but patriotism, gen- uine and absolute.” ¢ Great War Picture. “Pershing’s Crusaders” repeatedly stirred the big audience to spontaneous applause, and frequently the crowd broke into cheers. ‘The theatre was filled to capacity for the second show, and altho, because of the lergth of Corp. Smith’s address, the second show did not begin. until almost 11, a large audience remained for the finish. The pictures will be shown again at the Auditorium today. and tomorrow, for a matinee and two even- ing exhibitions. The pictures are pre- sented under the auspices of the home guard and they are unquestionably the most vivid picturization of tne war that has come to:the capital’ city.
