THE WAR AFTER THE WAR
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
Whether or not the Kaiser is the
"beast" and the "anti-Christ." of the
Book of the Revelation, as many in-
commentators affirm, it is
beyond controversy that the part he
plays has more than once been clear
ly dealt with by the inspired writ
ers. Opportunely, we have to-day a
study of the conduct of an ancient
Hebrew King in an incident that
parallels the rape of Belgium and the
lust for another's territory. Crafty
King Ahab wanted part of the lands
oj a proprietor named Naboth. He
ctfuld not get it by fair means, so
his wife Jezebel had the man foully
slain. Ahab secured the vineyard of
Naboth that his soul coveted—but he
also heard, as the reckless ruler of
Germany is also to hear, a word of
doom spoken in the "Thus saith the
Lord."
Both Ahab and the Kaiser missed
the big point. They thought that be
cause they had secured their first ob
jective all was well with them. Ap
parently their "success" had dem
onstrated the workability of the Ger
man philosophy that might makes
right; and that kings and states are
above the common law. Ahab did not
try to cloak his deeds under pious
professions, nor proclaim himself the
specially favored of the Almighty. In
fact, he knew that he was a crook,
and so he cringed at the approach of
the prophet of God.
The Kaiser's Great Need
We should be doing less than Jus
tice, both to this Old Testament story
and to its modern parallel, if we did
not emphasize the place of the
preacher in it. Israel had the great
treasure of a fearless prophet, Elijah.
He was not popular, either as
a court preacher or as a man for
the masses. His words were too un
comfortably straight-flung for that. |
Whatever the Lord spoke to him, he I
repeated to the people and to the j
king, whether his message was well
received or not. He had a tumultu
ous time of it, as every other prophet
who freely declares the whole coun
sel of God is bound to have. Any
body who wants a serene and easy
life would better not put on the man
tle of a prophet of God. But the
centuries have vindicated Elijah;
and the high-grade work he did on
earth is being continued in heaven:
for he and Moses were the messen- |
gers sent, as sympathetic spirits, to j
comfort Jesus on the Mount of Trans-i
figuration.
One of the misfortunes of the j
Kaiser is that he seems to have no !
prophets at large in Germany. The
country used to be famous for its
"liberal" theologians; and their I
teachings have contaminated the en- t
tire religious world. Apparently, j
their philosophy does not make the |
Elijah-type of minister. They have i
been glib in saying. "Thus saith i
Haeckel." or "Thus saith Harnack" J
and "Thus saith Nietzche," but when
it comes to saith 'Thus saith the ;
Lord' they are as dumb as oysters. |
Germany's preachers seem to have
become courtiers. They swarm in
the ranks of the apologists for the ;
Kaiser's course, but we know of none [
who. in the face of clear and admit- j
ted crimes against the laws of God '
and man, has cried, prophet wise, j
"Thus saith the Lord."
While we are busy defeating Ger- j
many and bringing to pass the only ;
possible peace thSt will have the i
favor of God. which is the breaking !
completely and forever of the unholy j
machinery of Prussianism and mili- |
tarism, let us be at pains to under- |
stand the power that we crush, and
what are its real weaknesses. Ger
many will perish from lack of spirit- !
ual vision and sense of righteousness. '
The old word of Scripture is being ;
vindicated: "Where there Is no vi- |
sion the people perish." She thought !
the sword a substitute for a soul, j
Repudiating the clear teachings of I
Jesus, she developed a "super" phi- !
losophy which is now being put to j
the test. If Germany had possessed 1
brave and alert prophets of God. she {
would never have come to her pres- I
ent pass. Basic and structural weak- j
ness follows in any society which !
loses its spiritual interpreters and !
leaders. Germany failed In her spirit j
before ever she met serious defeat on |
the battlefield. Contrariwise, the j
American army has been such a won- I
derful accession to the Alies because I
of the spirit of the men. and of the ]
nation behind them. God grant that
in the tremendous testing times just '
ahead of us our men of God will not |
fail to be true prophets. The day of i
pious perfunctoriness and platitudes !
and professionalism is past.
What the Soldiers Talk About
This entire war is tne best of com- '
mentaries upon the present lesson.
Evil is to be conquered; righteous
ness must reign. There you have '
the proposition. No other great war [
has. in its final analysis had so clear '
an issue between good and evil. On
the one hand, a mignty power, with !
a monstrous mania of egotism, has j
set its ruthless ambitions above all I
considerations of integrity and honor
and justice and brotherliness. IS
wants its own way regardless of
God's will or human law. Opposed
to it is a combination of Christian i
powers, accepting President Wilson's 1
entirely Scriptual definition of aims,
which have solemnly resolved to de
fend the right to the uttermost. They
have declared that justice is more
important than life itself. Their '
young men have gone forth, in the :
knightliest and most chivalrous fash
ion. to offer their lives in the de
fense of what they solemnly believe
to be the very principles of eternal
righteousness. These men fight for
a cause which they believe to be one
wtth the goals of God.
This emergence of the supremacy j

of the right is the greatest fact about
V l6 war - All the convictions of
Christian civilization have crystal
?jztd' A' o<v we a " see - in the new
light that shines from the world's
battleiields, that God and good are
the supreme verities. What the
. t ll eachers call "the sinfulness of sin"
, has become manifest. We are done
I with our rosewater theories for bet-
I " le wor 'd. As our bravest
and best go to a new Calvary for the
redemption of the race, following in
the train of the Saviour who died
that others might live, we under
stand that sin has to be atoned for,
and that holiness, for nations a s for
individuals, must be bought at the

breaking is the cost; but righteous
ness is worth it. Now we know that
there is no easy road to virtue.
Soldiers in France push the logic
ot the case to its conclusion. They
see that if injustice in Belgium is
to be fought, so also must injustice
in Boston and Bombay. If oppressors
of childhood and womanhood and
weakness are to be driven out of
ran ce. m like manner they are to
be expelled from America. If the
"square deal" between big nations
and little is to be enforced, so also
must be the "square deal" between
employers and employed, between
producers and the public, between
the rich and the poor, the favored
and the friendless. There is wide

officers and men, during the spaces

Getting the Main Idea
Conventional churchiatiity will be
a war victim. All the long catalog
of man-made sins will be burned up
in this world-conflagration. Self
complacency and censoriousness will
cease to be characteristics of pious
People Sectarian strife will stop.
Professional ecclesiasticism will sink
into eclipse. The pettiness that has
so long been associated with organ
ised religion will pass away.
Something else is coming—some
th^ S and vital and important
that R will compensate for all the
losses of the war. Wen will say that
it is coming out of the war; really,
though, it is coming out of the Bible
and out of the nature of God. That
great something is a new sense of {he
intolerableness of evil and the indis
pensableness of righteousness.
This is the main idea. TJ nless it
grips the churches, they also will
thrni.Jh , C ?° d wUI express himself
through other agencies. Somehow.
tonHe W ' diVine day of essential
goodness must dawn. Truth, as spo
ken between men and women, as well
as written in treaties, will hav a
new seal and sanction. Chastity, for
men and women both, will come to
take the place indicated for it bv the
New Testament. Good will and help

sprite, ahe common welfare will
take Its rightful and paramount posi.

every nation, will enter into a new
inheritance of respect. Comradeship
will take the place of conflict.
In the pursuit and guarding of
these aims, there will be a new mill

SPROUL IS FIRM
ON PROHIBITION
No Change in His Attitude
and No One Has Tried to
"Silence" Him on It
Senator William C. Sproul, Repub
lican nominee for governor, yester
day declared to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger that in spite of the
Palmer speech he had not changed
his attitude on prohibition. The
Ledger gives this account of the
Sproul interview:
"In a telephone conversation from
New York the Senator answered the
charges made in the statement read
before the Democratic State Commit
tee by A. Mitchell Palmer at Harris
burg, Wednesday, by asserting he
had not amended his platform and
that he had no intention of so doing.
" 'I have not been silenced,' " said
the Senator. "I have reiterated my
platform time after time. I have
repeatedly declared that I stand on
my platform and I have no intention
of changing it."
"Have you talked on prohibition re
cently?" the Senator was asked.
"I have as I said, reiterated the
provisions of my platform at least
fifty times."
"Can you say when you discussed
prohibition last?" he was asked.
"Not exactly. But I can say that I
have had constant correspondence in
reference to prohibition, and I say
again that I have not changed nor
amended my Swarthmore declara
tion.' "
In a lengthy statement issued at
Washington Senator Penrose denied
the Palmer charges and whacked the
Democratic boss. The Philadelphia
Press in prefacing the Penrose state
ment says the Democratic party in
Pennsylvania has been "split wide
open" and the Ledger says the same
thing. Both papers have backed up
and praised the Palmer-McCormick
methods of reorganization in the past.

With the American Army in
France. Sept. fi.—The central pow

expect great results. The gases are
said to cause permanent blindness.

will of God. The comrades of the
Cross will be crusaders. Right will
be robust. The Crucified Christ will
be understood mot only as a sacrifice,
but also as a Conqueror and King.
Surely we are Justified in expect

consummation of hopes that have
persisted, through time's darkest

good that is vitalized by the pulsing

FALL LEADING MEN
Details of Terrific Fighting Told by Returned Men and Let

Philadelphia. Sept. 6.—How Cap- .

city fell while leading his com- !
! mand, Company A. 109 th Infantry, in j
! an advance at the Marne was related ■
j yesterday by a Philadelphia officer. ;
who has just returned from the front. J
j The officer is Lieutenant Wilson H. j
j Stephenson, who was with Company j
i I, of the 109 th, in the same battalion ,
! with Companies L and M, which suf- j
! fered heavy casualties in the battle. (
i Lieutenant Stephenson's story of 1
! how the Pennsylvania boys not only |
I helped stop the German attack but
1 drove the enemy back, adds glory to j
j the Iron Division and the 1119 th. This i
i regiment comprises the former First j
( Infantry of Philadelphia, and the j
Thirteenth, of Scranton.
"Captain Gearty fell at the begin- I
ntng of a charge by his command," j
said the lieutenant. "He had Just j
started to lead his men over the top. j
when a Hun bullet got him. It's the
way many of the officers go—they j
are bound to be out there in front.
"We went into line at the Marne i
July 6. and the Pennsylvania boys !
were still in touch with the Germans j
at the Veslo when I was sent home I

Then our boys started through the
Germans.
"We drove them back to the Ourcq,

"I had a sort of eczema all over'

a higher command evidently thought

and our boys were withdrawn.
"They were still in touch with the

Lieutenant Walter E. Ettlnger, of
Company D, 11th Infantry, in a let
ter to his father, Philip Ettinger
Phoenixvllle, written August 12, de
scribes some of the later fighting in
which the Pennsylvania boys have
maintained their record for gallantry.
"We have been chasing since July
1." he writes, "and it keeps us busy
to keep up to the Germans. We have
been in some hot places, but our
company came out lucky. We are
now on ground the Germans held only
two days ago.
"We had three meals to-day, the
first for a long time as most of the
time we have to send for our meals
nt night and only get one a day. Our
cooker was about three miles back,
and about the time we would start to
eat, the Germans would send some
gas. The air is Just full of planes
all the time. That is how they get
the range on us."
Private John T. McLaughlin, of
Ashley, with an amnulance unit at
the front, was twice buried when
shells exploded near hint. One ex-
Plosion he relates, destroyed his
' prize collection of German helmets,
buttons and coins."
"A companion and I were carrying
a French poilu to a first-aid station
on July 20," Ills letter continues. "The
poilu, on a litter, was talking to us
who were carrying him, when there
was a burst of flame around us and a
deafening noise.
"For a minute I was dazed and
could not speak. Then I looked at
niy hands and found them empty. My
companion stood rooted to earth and
between us lay the gallant French
man. on the ground, looking up at us
as though lie wondered why we had
let him fall.
"The litter was snapped off at
both ends. Not one of us was hurt."
