[ = o o By Hugo von Klest, -] =4 Below is a 1ist of the managing d; rectors of great American corpora- tions who are making millions by the manufacture and sale of guns, shrapnel, bombs and bullets to the Allies whose white masters are arm- ing Senegal Negroes, African Turks, Hindus and Russian Cossacks for the purpose of wiping out the white race. One hundred and fifty mil- lion German-speaking peoples in Central Europe, and 21,600,000 Americans of German descent must never forget the names of these men, who harvested their blood stained millions out of the sorrows and tears of German widows and orphans. The lists are taken from the Manual of statistics for 1914. We hope that some of the estimable gentlemen whose names are given here will be found to have resigned from these corporations. Here they are: Beth- lehem Steel Corporation, Charles M. Schwab, chairman and president; Archibald Johns‘on, vice-president; Henry S. Snyder, vice-president; J. H. Ward, vice president. CAR-TE - - - - - - O - THE ALLIES VIEW By Albert W. Bryce ° -] o o o L} o SRR R - - - It is with a lordly air of condes- CeLsion that Germany now avows a willingness to recognize some of the Tights of neutrals at sea. So far as this is a modification of the decree of February 4 and an apology for the crimes that have attended that proc- lamation it will be accepted as a slight indication of returning sanity. We are to remember, however, that international law is no more Potent in protection of neutral ships than it i jn safeguarding the lives °f those who, being non-combatants, 'ravel upon the merchant ships of e cnemy, Von Tripitz today ad- Dits that he cannot with his sub- Marine agsassing rule neutral ships O the ocean. The same high author- Ity which he now recognizes in their Case must eventually bring him to TS0 as regards neutral rights on Werchant ships of every description. The present retreat by the Ger- 740 Admiralty is almost as impud- €0t a5 the original order, for it is “d ubon the theory that a civil- \zed natjon, without a single legiti- 4t <hip of war at sea, is in a po- rw;fi DO YOUR OWN SHOPPING q "On]x" ‘0€’0€’0‘3'0§fi§Q NATIONAL LEAGUE O'S’O'S)O@OG)O!-Q Standing of the Clubs W L SR 167 19 «.14 12 14 14 .14 15 L R 11 15 16 ® Philadelphia Chicazo ., Boston ., Brooklyn ..

Saadanaa sttt dd il 2l L L T T R VTP e e e vy Possible Glory of Obscure Lives (By Dr. Thomas Dowling.) Ralph Waldo Emerson somewhere reminds us that “As a man grows in culture, he grows in repose.” Per- haps it is because of an increasing consciousness of strength; for the strong men are the subdued men, What I mean is, that the men who stamped a real character upon that little country town where yow were born; the men who left an inherit- ance of stability in that village church which you remember so well, were not boisterous or self-assert- ive. “They did neither strive nor cry ,neither was their voice heard in the streets.” As a scripture puts it: “Their gentleness hath made them great.” I suupose in the life of our Lord there is no more striking character- istic, than that of quiet reserve power. We compare Him with the world’s heroes, with Caesar, with Alexander or Napoleon. Their great deeds seme to be the result of great endeavor; and as we see them out of breath at last on the mountain top, touching the pinnacle of fame, we say: These are the men who strug- gled up from below.” But yow will notice mighty works are all composure; as though they were commonplace things; the chance grain spilline out of a too full meas- ure, and we stand in silent worship thinking “What might he not do if he chose.” Of Him, we say: “This that his done with @ is He that cometh down from above.” And it is an old trick of the world to ¢ ify this kind of power; for the world's surface test is in start- ling effects; the theatrical blue the miracles which one per- forms. Otherwise He is only a com- monplace person; a nobody; a man who “Charges men that they shall not make Him known.” Tonight 1 speak in behalf of the world's nobodies; the men and the women who do not astonish anyone; who, following their Master, just live their quiet lives and then fall asleep, leaving behind them some- how strength and sunlight, though men scarcely know how they did it, and never appreciate them until they are gone. A 1 speak tonight in behalf of the men and the women who do no mir- acles; not the men with five talents who apparently can do everything nor the men with only one talent, who wrap it in a napkin and do nothing; but the average man; peo- ple like you and me; just folks; the men and the women with neither HUSBAND'S TOAST TO HIS WIFE “I will drink this toast to the woman I love. To the woman whose smiles are the light of my life and whose laughter is sweeter to me than the melody played by an angel on a golden harp. To the mnoble- hearted woman who gave up all the rest of the world for me and linked her life with mine amid the music and flowers; and turning from the altar faced eternity as mine and of me. To the woman who has been my bosom companion and soul mate when fortune smiled upon me and my tender ministering angel in sick- ness and sorrow. To the woman whose purity surpasses the snow on 'flve talents nor only one, but two talents; what can we do to make life ‘lruly great and truly beautiful I want tonight to present a plea for the commonplace, while 1 speak to you of the possible glory of ob- scure lives. Our Lord cared very little for that which was startling. Nowhere is the brilliant man singled out by Him and placed as a pattern on ac- count of his brilliancy. Though He himself performed miracles, it was because He could not help it. Being the Son of God He acted like the Son of God. But He always refused to perform them for their own sake. Every miracle of our Lord was a ser- mon in motion. And so he was de- spiced and rejected of men. “Who is He?” A nobody; only a carpenter's son, after all. His very brethren be- lieve not on Him. And He claims to be a proyhet. We will drive Him out of the city.” The old story! Ye never see that which is great where God would have us look for it in that which is familiar; the commonplace; that Wwhich is just around us in our street, or our homes, our little lives. Even the heavens look grander when we go to Europe to see them; and we never cease talking about the Italian sky, and the moon of Venice. We seldom think that the old motherer with her hands all wrink- led is as great as the queen of Eng- land, but she is. We seldom think that the old farmer with bronzed countenance and horney knuckles, who has brought up a whole family for God, is as great as Napoleon, but he is. And we say “Who is He?" Nobody; His father a carpenter and His people, are they not all with us?” “Verily I say unto you in the kingdom of God many who are first shall be last, and the last shall be first; for He that turned the world upside down, because it was wrong side up hath come hither also, and He teaches that laying aside all other tests ,tearing them off as we would the husks of the corn, when we reach the very kernel of truth; He teaches us that success in life does not lie in its miracles; the ‘Lo here!” and the ‘Lo there!" With Him success is faithfulness. members of the graduating class, who were now just fronting life, to think not so much of reputation as of character. “Character,” he ex- claimed, “is what a man is; reputa- tion is simply what the world thinks he is.” | Dr. Dowling closed by urging the A WALKING GENTLEMAN By LUCILE WARRINGTON, f e ae oo 22 22 2% 24 (Copyright, 194, by W. G. Chapman.) “Hello!” ejaculated Vance suddenly, and with some satisfaction, scanning the “Help Wanted” column of the newspaper he had bought. “What now?” queried Mark. “Listen,” and Vance proceeded o read: “Wanted—A presentable, active young man of some imagination and good facial expression. Liberal com- pensation. Mrs. A, 6§37 Hawthorn terrace.” “Well, I vum!” exclaimed Mark. “Now what In the world does that mean? What has presentableness, imagination and facial expression to do with it?” “Well, I shall try for the position,” announced Vance. The Hawthorn terrace address proved to be a fine mansion set in a charming nest of greenery and flow- ers. Vance adopted his best bearing and had haudsome features and a well- modeled form to recommend him to the housemaid, who showed him into & little gem of a reception room, say- ing she would take word to “Mrs. Ar- lington” at once.. Vance appropriated an easy chair and took in the warmth ‘and comfort of the room luxuriously. It reminded him of home. He arose to inepect a little bijou of a water color on the wall. He strolled about the apartment, taking in the richnes and taste of the hangings. He ran a covetous eye over a well-selected shelf of books. Then a drapery parted and an active, nervous lady of perhaps fitty faced him with keen eyes and a quizzical smile. “You came about the advertise- ment,” she spoke rapidly. “Well, I think you will do.” “Why, madam—" began Vance, as- tonished at this speedy decieion. “Oh, I have been watching you, and I am sure you will suit. You know how to walk and gesture, and I can see possibilities of expression in your eyes. I shall need your services from nine to twelve each day. The com- Pensation wHl be fitty dollars a week.” Vance gave a gasp. “First, I will in. troduce you to my other ald, my adopted daughter. Rilla!” and ehe called loudly. SRR s Uunco feli s though he had stumv bled across some scene of enchant. ment. Fifty dollars a week! Three hours’ work a day! A fellow-worker, one “Rillal” And then “Rilla” came Into the Toom. She seemed to bring with her the radiance of a rare beauty, an atmosphere of roses, smiles and kisses commingled. His senses dizzied a8 he looked upon this vision of love liness, “You two are to be my special com- panfons,” explained Mrs. Arlington, while Vance grew awkward and the young lady blushed, as they were in- troduced after Vance had murmured his name. “You see, Mr. Byford, I am an authoress. They call me of the impressionist type. I am well ground- ed as to theories and the plot quaa- tity, but deficient as to detalls.

They halted near the vinecovered wall, little dreaming that Rilla on the other side was an auditor. Then Vance told his troubles He was going to give up his position. And wherefore? Rilla. Every time in their play acting when their hands met, Vance confessed to a fervent un- restrained impulse to clasp her in his arms and confees his undying love.
