"The Germans are trying every art of their kind of warfare against our boys, but the Americana are learning fast For instance, one squad advanced towards a platoon of Americans waving a white flag. The Americans let them come about a hun dred yards and then cut loose and annihilated them. "That they acted rightly was shown by the fact that the white flag had been tied to the handle of a live grenade, and while the Germans appeared at a distance to be weaponless, each one was loaded down with deadly grenades. "Another favorite trick is that the German ma chine gunners, when seeing Americans approach, wait until our lads are close, when they cut loose -with a final spurt of bullets, and then step out and cry 'kamrrad.' Onr men have adopted a rule that any German who shoots a machine gun at a closer range than 200 yards cannot be allowed to surren der." These are salient paragraphs from a New York Times dispatch from Edwin L. James. Here we have the cold essence of warfare as it is forced upon civilized nations by the Hun. Every Ameri can ought to know just what it is. The American has a practical mind. His ideal ism he reserves for the proper time and occasion. _He believes in "fighting the devil with fire." It is folly to let the Hun profit by his Hunnishness. He must be made to realize that Hunnishness does not pay. Apparently the Americans are going to complete his education in this respect To every protest over barbarity the German shrugs his shoulder and says: "That is war." So be it We venture to say that when the accounts are closed and the returns are in, the German will find every foul deed, every bit of {rightfulness, returned in overflowing measure by the American army. It is not a thing to boast about, but the chief lesson that must be taught the German people as the result of this war is this: that two can play at the game of turning men into beasts; that frightfulness is a losing invest ment. In this mighty battle of the Marne, in which quarter is neither expected nor given, some of the brightest pages in American military history are being written. The capture of Sergy, for example, is bound to become a classic of American arms. When the brilliance of this achievement becomes known, it will send a thrill of pride throughout the land. At the present moment it is obscured by the larger issues of the battle itself. The general impression that the Americans are contributing a really substantial numerical force to the allied forces in the Rheims-Soissons conflict ought to be dispelled. Gen. March says that seven divisions are engaged in it With various Ameri can units brigaded with the French, the number does not surpass j6o,ooo at the outside. But the real significance of the American participation in this fight is thus expressed by Gen. Maurice: "Among the causes of the German failure, I Should place very high the effect of the dash and energy of the American troops. All the other armies now fighting are more or less war-weary, and they all contain a high proportion of lads and middle-aged men. Therefore, the appearance of a new army in the field, with its eagerness and enthusiasm unimpaired and composed of the pick of the manhood of a great nation, must be out of all proportion to its numerical strength. It would be absurd to suppose that anything like the 1,250,000 Americans who had been shipped from the United States have taken part in this battle, or anywhere on the front. "The military power of America is only just beginning to make itself felt, and the most hope ful and encouraging feature of this battle is that the beginning has been so effective." War Mothers. ? Supreme institution of the universe; most sacred office in the House of Creation; nearest to the true source of all good?Motherhood! A monument to fortitude, heroic sacrifice, ten derness, self-denial, uplifting influence, example, de votion and sublime patience is Motherhood. Of us all, Mother alone knows what it is to give, give, give. And now she must give again. She is a War Mother. Mars demands her man-child. She sees him snatched away, but through her tears of anguish catches a glimpse of the grand pur pose he serves, the true mission she has performed. Real peace possesses her, though the heart aches when the mind forgets for a moment and loses that true perspective. She is even more glorious, more wonderful, more angelic as a War Mother. Like Euterpe, who mothered Themistocles, she is strong that her boy may be strong. Themistocles made the Athenian navy invincible and saved Greece from the Persian onslaught. Cornelia was the magnificent mother of that indefatigable warrior and Roman general* Tiberius Gracchus, who died in battle. Gaius Gracchus, a younger son, was likewise a dauntless fighter. Rather than die at enemy hands, he had his slave kill him. Some ladies were discussing the brilliance, worth and number of their gems at the home of Cornelia. She was silent until her two boy?, Tiberius and Gaius entered. 'These are my jewels!" proudly exclaimed this Greek goddess in the flesh, drawing them dose. Every American War Mother today is a poten tial Euterpe, a modern Cornelia. f She has much in common with all other War Mothers. The organization of War Mothers of Amcrica, with chapters in every city, town and hamlet, will perpetuate the glory of War Motherhood. It will speed nimble knitting fingers, bring com fort to those whose vision it grief-blurred, foster ing faith through association with the strong. Posterity will pay heart-homage at the shrine of > J oar War Mother*. Their hallowed spirit will wift a-down the centuries, a sweet breath of the tiobl* tad sublimely beautiful, ever-lasting tribute to halkflr ed Motherhood and the glorification of womankind. The Gnat Tasks Man Us. Win the war we muit and will though it re quire* great tacrifice, (trip* ua bar* and lay* a tremendou* burden upon future generation*. It will be the price of our unpreparedne** and the neglect of the human factor* which mutt be the great reliance and concern of the future. While fighting to keep off the yoke of the Kaiter we muit not fail to prepare for the great change* of the uncharted future. Democracy muit survive to achieve the higheit ideal* for humanity. Heav ier responsibility mutt be *hared by each citizen. Result* will be meatured by the unity, strength, 'wisdom and vision of the great majority, who, without clear conception, are, in troubled times, easily led td their own destruction and may bring our children and their children for generations to a barren future. The war has revealed weakness which must be turned to strength. It will give us renewed confi dence and courage to know now that our future citizens will, as far as possible, be qualified mental ly, bodily and spiritually for the great tasks which lie before us. This is the time to act courageously. The future must not be left to chance. We should decide now to give all future new young voters the short courses of Federal training for citizenship, efficiency and defense recommended so strongly by the nation's leading women. The training should result in returning about one million red-blooded, broad-minded, right-thinking missionaries for good citizenship and efficient business and community life into as many homes throughout the land every year. , Old Ludendorff is having a tough time of it pick ing out an allied army the crown prince can lick. At last Germany admits the Americans are in France. We betray no milifary secret in an nouncing that Germany is the next station on the American route.

Br EDMCHD VANCE COOKS. ' You know this place we live in sometimes gets my pet Angora , And I cuss its whole existence, both its fauna and its flora. But several years ago, before the Kaiser got the no tion He could post his sign "Verboten" anywhere along the ocean, My wife and I, we took a trip and say! we traveled some And saw more things than I could tell this side of Kingdom Come. We saw "the glory that was Greece, the grandeur that was Rome"? And ever sine# we've had a new respect for things at home! And mother's quite in earnest when sh* says she made a search And didn't find one thing to match the Presbyterian church! Thiy showed us big cathedrals, Paul's and Peter's and Colognes With a few Westminster Abbeys, chock up full of human bones; They'd fill us full of history that every place was rich in. But mother'd poke around a bit and ask 'em "Where's the kitchin?" "A modern church," she'd say, "you know ain't just for Sunday meeting; It's for every sort of service, with conveniences for eating. Your triforiums and buttresses and architraves are pretty, But I was on 'Equipment*' of our Woman's subcom mittee," And then the Dean would most fall off his digna torial perch And mother'd add "You ought to see our Presby terian church 1" They showed us miles of palaces with acrcage of floors [ And castles, towered and turreted, and big as all out-doors. They'd show us where some doughty duke had laid the corner-stone. And how, 'most like a living thing, the grand old place had grown. They showed us banquet halls so big they might have fed a city. And mother looked 'em over and responded "Very pretty!" And then she added (and her voice would have a hostile quirk in), "But Saints alive! AIN'T it the Godforsaken place to work in? Now WE took every catalogue and made the closest search And we've got all modern fixin's in the Presby terian church." Then they took us to museums, to the Vatican and "Louv-re," And the British big Museum! I thought maybe that might move her. It's got the manuscripts and books from every age and nation, 'Way back to "Adam's Comments" on "The Sixth Day of Creation." Why, the place just seemed to shrink me, with a sort of lofty pity For such a puny thing as me. But mother says "It's pretty, But in reading as in eating, it don't pay to be too greedy. And in OUR Reading Room we got just ONE En cyclopeedy, And though our Literary Club is given to research. It has answered every purpose of the Presbyterian church." ' Of course I joked her, and, once home, I started a report That while inroad she'd had the chance to be re ceived at court. And how she told the gracious queen her crown was "very pretty," But it should have been selected by the girlt of her committee! But mother answered, "Ye*, a crown IS nice for Iookin' at, But it can't compare in comfort to the commonest old hat. And for castles and cathedrals Europe leaves ut in the lurch, But for common ute," tays she, "give MS the Pres byterian church!" (Copyright, 1111.} . IPCttS Portsmouth, N. H., July SI.?Lack of a sense of humor on the part of the Prussian warlords, and their followers brought on the world war. If the Prussians had possessed a real sense of humor they would have stayed out of war, would not have been behased and prostituted themsejves) and would not have coveted the balance of the world. Nor would they have indulged In licentious practices and cruelties which have horrified end disgusted all civilized peoples. That is what New England folks believe. Accordingly they point to the abundant sense of humor which Americans have, founded on the Tankee sense of humor .which will always be one of the splendid and ennobling traditions of our kind. Tankee humor will not die. It will live on with the Yankee spirit which surrounds it and out of which come men of might and men of fight, men who are today taking his Hellishness, the Hock One, through the most cripling nightmare he has ever been called upon to en dure. Long live Yankee humor. We are for It. It has spread into every vil lage of this great nation. It has grown with the great national spirit of America. It is an indispensable part of us, and must always remain so. Here, there and everywhere about New England one sees evidences of It?some of them grewsome perhaps, but all of them examples of the spirit which made America the most beloved of nations and Americans most honored of all peoples. We have always lived in the West but when we came here we confess we had some most extraordinary impressions of New England?all of them edifying, however. For instance, we recalled our own railroads signs out West when we saw those here. Out beyond Chicago they read: "Railroad crossing?Look out for the cars.* Or sometimes they are slightly modified to read. "Railroad crossing?Look out for the train." But here they are more precise than that. They put it more tersely. Their signs here read, "Railroad crossing?Look out for the engine.'* They know here that if a man doesn't look out for that implement of destruction he need not worry about what follows behind. Indeed were the warning amplified it might read: "If you don't look for the en gine it won't be worth while to look out for anything else." The forefathers in New England j must have worked hard. You see the proof of it In the thousands and thousands of ihlles of stone fences here. Which recalls to our mind that most of the sprain and back ache remedies originated in this sec tion of the country. After all it was only natural that they should. For, pray, who would need the rem edies more than our fathers here when they got through putting up these stone fences. We haven't time to figure it up. and we haven't con sulted any of the many statisticians here, but we'll wwager a rotten apple against a steamboat that there are many, many sprains and bruises and backaches tied up in these fences. In most parts of the country, and we say it with the utmost regret, the folks do not take the interest they used to In the old-time card games? they pronounce it "cayhd" here. Of course, there are a multitude of ladles in society and some of the he yampires with them, who love to play hifalutin games in which they don't take much intereat, but in which they drop a considerable roll ?{ thefi prin cipal. But these don't count. We mean the old-time games that folks will play all day and half the night if they get the chance?and do It all for no gain in pocketbook what ever. "Sixty-three" Is the game here abouts. It is Just like high five, in fact except the king counts twenty live points, the tray fifteen points and the nine spot nine points. And what Infinite enjoyment is tied up in thla game for the home folks. Ladies and gents play It and fllllthelrxoula on It and an afternoon of It will make the most aristocratic person in the world feel like eating supper where every, thing la put on the table In big dishes and where some of the company may be guilty of coaxing peas onto a knife before they transport them to Interior points. That Is, thla feeling will come to any aristocrat who la really more of a Democrat than an aristo Another sign of covilisatloci here Is ... "? ? 'lasi A LINE 0' CHEER EACH DAY 0' THE YEAR.

For by the gifts she scatters wide O er fields and teeming countryside The bornlng seed is fructified. So In the midst of War and Pain We hail her Queen, and bless her reign.

They aren't quite so sure in talking about Kerensky here. They have , heard all about him, of course, bul ' niv'r him or felt hlm | like they have Mr. B.?so they wisely let others discuss this man. Way down under their B. V. D.'a however, they have a number of opinions about Russia, and we are quite sure it a Russian commission could be sent to this country and would come *jj New England for suggestions it wou'nl not be at all to the disadvantage ol the Big Bear nation. This section, when It was young, had a multitude of problems just like Russia has nowadaya but it managed to settle them so that the section expanded Into a powerful nation. For the basis of their laws between men they went back to the laws laid down by God for men to follow. This proceeding shows their slmpleness of spirit?and | this same slmpleness might be found useful right now in Russia. This State Is dry. But no one de plores It very seriously. We talked to scores of men here who u?ed to tickle their pallets with "Jimmy" Pepper, and some of the other more or less distantly related members of that race, but there appear to be none of them who want to brim; back the drinks of other days. It gets a little hot now and then, but the old town pump offers such a lib eral supply Of real liquid that the natives flock to it and its descen dants with commedable alacrity. Of course, the folks here do not want to dictate what the course of other States shall be, but they are willing to swear that if any State now pos sessed of srbgj.erle,j and "Dew Drop Inn," will only take to the water the change will be beneficial to both pocketbook and stomach. The legislature of this State is a wonderful body. We didn't get to see It In operation because the capi tal city is free of Its Illuminating presence Just now. But the lower house is made up of several hundred members?every town being repre sented whether It Is great or small. Many men go to the legislature htxe who probably wouldn't get tKe opportunity if the representation were cut down. The result is that many queer laws are proposed and some decidedly queer ones are ac tually put on the statute books. But the number Is strangely low con sidering the makeup of the law making body. Some day, so aome of the progressive folks say, there'll be a constitutional amendment of fered cutting down the representa tion. But we have our doubts about Its adoption for the number of men who are or who have served in the legislature constitutes a majority of the population, we fear, and they all will oppose It for what they hare gained from the old law or expect again to gain. We see no victory in sight for th# amendmenteers un til the number of lawmakers and ex-lawmakers decrees through some operation which makea many of them serve many terms and which allows no general passlng around of these offices. The system U decidedly one of class representation, though. There are many lawyers In the legislature, of course, but the number of non-law yers completely overshadow them and they do. not get the opportunity to do the tinkering they do In some of the States where the representation Is smaller. This may be an advantage which the keen-eyed Yankees ob served long ago. and which will he their reason for refusal to amend their organic law.

Being a downright | sort of person he decided that some- i thing must be done about It. Next Sunday, in his church, filled j one-half with his own congregation and the other half with les soldats americalns. he proceeded to read the former the riot act- In accents strong and French, he laid down the Isw. "Vous demandez cinq francs quand vous a vex droit a un franc seule ment!" was one of the points he laid stress on again and again by way of telling the faithful that some of them were asking five times more than they had a right to.

So when M. le cure started down the main aisle right after the begin ning of the credo to take up the col lection he was fairly swamped with five-franc notes. Every O.

By the time he had got down the msln sisle and was going to turn up the side aisle, they had so exhausted the col lection basket's capacity that he had to make an apron out of his cassock. And he couldn't understand it at all. i The chaplain of the particular Amer- j lean unit that thus shelled out sat 1n the back of the church.

Not so the French prlsat when he heard about it. He wss horror struck. "I must get that money back to them! It Is not right! I must give It back!" he exclaimed. "No. you mustn't, brother." laughed the American chaplain. "I told the boys all about It. and they say the lesson in French was cheap at the price.
