Sister Smith, says “Harper’s Magazin,” Was called upon for testimony in a revival meeting. She humbly declined in these words. “I have been a transgressor for a good many years and have only recently seen the light. I believe that my place is in a dark corner behind the door.” Brother Jones was called upon next. Following Sister Smith's meek example, he said, too, have been a sinner for {more than twenty years, and I don’t think I ought to stand before you as a model. I think my place is behind the door, in a dark corner, with Sister Smith.” A solicitous mother wrote to a congressman at Washington to inquire if her son could not be exempt from the draft on the ground that he is left handed. The congressman is said to have taken the matter up ■with the war department and learned that "a largenumber of left handed guns had been ordered” for soldiers of left-handed tendencies. Seriously, there are probably as many absurd excuses given by slackers who wish to escape the draft as there are slackers in number. The frankest of these is a Philadelphia youth, who, the other day is reported to have made a personal visit to the white house in Washington, and lodged a plea for exemption on the ground he was too big a coward to fight. — Goshen Democrat.

Wil! Italy’s Big Drive Open the Road to Berlin? Canadians forcing their way through the shell-shattered streets of Lens, French soldiers retaking Dead Man’s Hili at Verdun, Italians swarming over Holy Mountain, and pushing along the well-defended slopes of the Bainsizza and Carso plateaus on their way to Trieste, are speaking a message plainly heard above the thunder ot their guns. It is a reply to the Pope's peace plea antedating the polite notes of the Allied diplomats, so some editors believe. That Italy now has the best position of any of the Allies, is the opinion of a United States army expert, whom the New York H r orld quotes as saying that “during the present year the Allies are looking to Italy alone to carry out an offensive which may have a tremendous effect upon the outcome of the war If the present Italian offensive compels the Austrians to retire from the mountain regions completely and give the Italians an opportunity of holding them securely until next Spring it can readily be seen that these forces will be able to play havoc with the present Teuton lines on all quarters. In THE LITERARY DIGEST for September Bth, there is an illuminating article which analyses from various view-points the operations on the Western Front and in Austria during the past few weeks. It is accompanied by a*map showing the portion of Italia irredenta already reclaimed, and other illustrations. Other topics in this number that will hold the interest of every reader are: The Church View of the Pope’s Peace Plea Criticisms of Free-Thought, and Religious Papers of Various Denominations Russia Finding Herself Effect of Our Embargo Against Neutrals No Peace With Prussian Autocracy The Stockholm Conference Again India’s Home-Rule Martyr Germany’s War Bill Germany’s Chinese Emperor A Federation of Nations in Austria? How People Behave During An A.ir Raid Handling Big Guns By Railroad What Is An Engineer? A Criticism of Baby Shows Will Aviators Have Caisson Disease? Unnecessary Surgery Tree As An Actor Trying to Overturn De Vinci’s Fame The Church in England and France Should the Pulpit Preach on the War ? Striking Illustrations, Including Humorous Cartoons and Maps “The Digest” an Impartial and Accurate Historian When the history of the critical times in which *ve to the actual facts of doubtful cases will be the files live comes to be written by scholars of a later day of THE LITERARY DIGEST, which coyer all than ours they will have great difficulty in disen- these great events with absolute impartiality from tangling the truth regarding the stupendous world week to week.
