A BARRAGE OF PRAYER.
The senate has passed a resolution
calling for daily prayer in behalf of
the nation, its lighting sons, its
cause. It is proposed that men and
women everywhere and of every
faith pause at the hour of noon to
pray.
There will be those who will
speak scornfully of this proposal.
Let them keep to themselves their
unbelief. Millions of Americans will
welcome the idea because it give.;
nation expression to the truth that
spiritual values are the supreme con
cern in this war and that spiritual
forces must have their part in win
ning it.
In a little folder Issued by some
loop business men who have been
meeting uawy lor prayer, an inci
dent is told of the early days of the
war:
"When the telegram announcing
the French victory over the German
hordes at the battle of the Marue in
September. 1014. was delivered at
the English war department. Lord
Roberts, who was in Lord Kitchen-
; er's olTice. said: "Only tJod Alhiighty
could have done tin
And Lord
"Somebodv
Kitchener said quietly:
must have been praying."
The same folder quotes General
I'oeh as saying concerning prayer:
"We shall he saved by it, and it will
not be the lirst tim.; in this deadly
struggle."
The brave soldiers is rarely an un
believer. He comes in such close
I contact with the stark realities of
life and death that be feels the need
of God. If these men. who plan their
battles in terms of man power, of
guns and shell and aeroplanes, find
place for a righteous cause, what
civilian dare oppose his little three
foot self if intellectual doubt?
Some emphasize the objective
value of prayer, some make more of
its subjective value. The particular
theory is of small moment. The
vital tiling is recognition of tin
spiritual significance of this great
conflict. With few exceptions, all
oi us. whatever be our creed, can
find common ground here. Chicago

FROPIIET OF AMERICAN IDEALS.
The circumstances under which
Theodore Roosevelt spoke at Sara
toga yesterday give his words a mov
ing solemnity they could not other
wise have had.
He spoke not only as the one pub
lic man who had foreseen from the
beginning the significance of the war
to America, and had striven might
ily to arouse his country to the
necessity of preparing against the
day of need. He spoke al.o as the
father who had laid all that was
dearest to him on the altar, and
who, in the name of the fathers and
mothers of America, called for life
saving efficiency in the prosecution
of the war and for the overwhelm
ing victory that alone would justify
the sacrifices made.
It was the American statesmen
who spoke, but the statesman with
the vision and the purpose that come
only to those who have suffered. For
at the time of bis address, of his
four sons and one son-in-law at the
front, one had been gassed, another
had been disabled perhaps for life
and was probably to be invalided
hofije, while a third was reported
missing in air battle. Three out of
fiv in the eu:uJty lists, and the
war just begun!
Out. of that bit I cr experience came
his plea for the greatest pssiblc
ha.stf" lu thro ving all of America V
::iant. r:lr-ngtb into the task; for the
Immediate -f "iision of the draft
age ;tj(fj for armies overseas next
year "jal in strength to Germany's.
'Ihnt. m a da to which the heart
of Airi'-rjra will respond. It is the
pba .r pat rioti.mii and humanity.
In th-, prf-ente of a patriotic
late;,.(ria,,,.),jp roijoecrated by such
fcacrirre the whrill voice of malice and
slander must die away. Theodore
Il'Kx-M;velt at. Saratoga, under the
shadow- of a torturing uncertainty
for his Kou, pleading for a more e in
dent citizenship, stands forth as he
has stood for years, the man of vi
sion and of execution, tho prophet of
American Ideals. K. C. Star.
HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.
To successfully finance the war
it is-necessary that owners of Lib
erty bonds hold their bonds if pos
sible. Where for any good reason
it is necessary for them to turn
their bondr. into cash they should
seek the advice of their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very de
sirable investments, and crafty in
dividuals are using various means
to secure them from owners not fa
miliar with stock . values and like
matters. One method is to offer to
exchange for Liberty bonds stocks
or bonds of 'doubtful organizations
represented as returning a much
higher income than the bonus.
Thero are various other meth
ods used and likely to be used,
some of the gold brick variety and
others less crude and probably with
in the limits of the law. All oilers
for Liberty bonds except for money
and at market value should be
scrutinized carefully. The bonds
are the safest of investments and
have nontaxable and other valuable
features.
To hold your Liberty loan bom!-,
if possilvle. is patriotic. To consult,
your bankers before felling them is
wise.

"0VER THERE" AND OVER HERE
The news from Ihe front this
week makes every American proud
of his birthright, for it justities him
entirely in his pride of being kind
red in blood with tho "untrained
handful of an army" that is going
through the best of the Kaiser's
picked troops, trained since their
v..rly votith in the art of warfare
and vaunted to the skies as the salt
li" the earth.
The wrld pay-, homage to these
American lads from the farms, the
stores and workshops even tlx-
Germans- grudginglv admit they are!
.'filters of the ti rs t class. Wlii!-1
t'.ey deserve every bit of prai-e, ev
ery bit of i'dmirat ion, every (nr. of
glory that comes to them, it should
not be forgotten that their splendid,
thrillfrg achievements have been
made possible by thousands of other
youngsters and elder men, as well,
cf the same clean character ami
sterling patricti-m, who have stay
ed at home and labored in the ship
yards. There they toiled. where
the sun shines just as hot in the
summer, and the frost nip. just a.;
sharply in the winter; where the
grime and dirt is just as thick,
where bones frequently are broken.

UNITED WE STAND.
In all the history of the world
there was probably never a nation
so united in the prosecution of any
object as the United States is today
in the prosecution rtf the war. While
there are a few slackers and an in
significant number of pro-Germans,
the fact is that every class of citi
zens, young and old, men and wom
en, are doing all that they can to
aid in winning the war. It is espe
cially noticablo among those still
under age. In tens of thousands of
school.--, both day schools and Sun
day tehools, the children have been
doing very valuable work. They
have collected clothing for French
refugees and U.elgian sufferers, they
have solicited for war loans, they
have secured millions of funds by
the sale of war stamps after putting
in all that they had of their own.
and they have aided the Red Cross.
At one country school where there
were about twenty-live childicn in
at tendance, they rai-ed $;."" for the
i'renrh orphans-, and that kind of
work is going on all over the coun
try from the lakes to the gulf and
from ocean to ocean. The sum
total of if all amounts up toward a
billion dollars in actual value.
While that work is going on
jimong tli" children the same earn
est efforts are being made among
old men and the women of tho na
tion. Much of tho success so far
won is due tin-in. The women have
saved cwr v.-crap of loud and put
their families on short rations, old
nun have taken situations vacated
by the young men who have gone
to war; and sm;io of the women, no
rat is tied with wiiat they have done,
are asking to b drilled and armed
that they may act as home guards.
Russia is not. the only place where
women arc willing to fight. Thi"
country stands united and will tight
this war to a victorious finish.
