jit is small wonder that the harlot who sells her body for a price finds busi- ?
j ness dull. In Germany it is said the women already outnumber the men i by more than 2,000,000 and unless the government takes steps to legitim.itize these war babies "the nation promises to become a race of bastards, j nut does a statute alter the moral aspect? j An observer in the French territory that is being evacuated by the i Germans states that Bosche babies are everywhere and that many of the
women accompanied the retreating troops. With the existence of such conditions admitted, and encouraged, wi are impelled to wonder what the moral effect upon the world is to be. Here is a vast population, conceived, as we have been taught, in sin, amid surroundings of .brutality that almost defy imagination. Base passions of every character predominate, national patriotism being; the one remaining virtue, and if heredity and pre-natal influences leave their impress, as they certainly do, we seem due to revise our previous notions concerning a great many things, including morality. And we are going to find it difficult to uo this and still aorent thp 1pfhlnes of the Uible. It seems to US that C'hrfi-
tinnity has been dealt a staggering blow, one from which it will be centuries j
in recovering.

BKEAD PMOES IX FIVE CITIES. This editorial concerns in price of bread in five cities. Two of n hem. London and Paris, are similar in their dissimilarity from their American sisters inasmuch as they are located in countries long at war, in countries
that produce little wheat, in countries that must import iheir grain, pay a high price for it as well as costly freights and lose a certain proportion by j the ravages of U-boats- I The three similar American cities are Gary, Chicago and Cleveland, which are one and the same as far as the costs of labor and material are . concerned. ! Considering all these conditions, the situation of the European cities j
besieged by U-boats, and the relative nearness of the American cities to the source of supply, ' attend to these comparative figures concerning the prio? r: bread per pound. City. , Cents. Paris .'. - - 4.:t:i London .-. - .2. Chicago s-" Cleveland - Gary - The figures speak for themselves.

WAR, THE CHURCH AXD MORALS. The effect of the European war upon the world cannot even be guessed at this lime. Changes will be made in the map of the world as a result of the struggle; form3 of government will likewise undergo change; the future economic status is a matter of conjecture. Every one of the great nations will either verge upon bankruptcy or-be seriously crippled financially if the struggle is prolonged for any length of time, says the Lafayette Journal. But the material questions involved are not the most important by any means. How will mankind emerge from this terrible ordeal. " What effect will it have upon the moral sensibilities; how much of the progress upward, achieved by centuries of sacrifice and toil, will have been' sacrificed? What handicaps wilj have been placed upon.-the church aa a result of this carnival of slaughter? Aside from the questions of right and Justice involved in the precipitation of the conflict itself, there ha3 been a letting down of the moral law that i3 ghastly to contemplate. Brutality and bestiality have found an outlet In the debasement of men, the violation of women, the destruction of property, and the slaughter of little children who have been spitted upon bayonets, like fowls prepared for roasting. Illegitimacy is to wear a badge of honor and women of belligerent countries are being urged to sacrifice their virtue for purposes of reproduction to replace the waste of man power resulting from war. Every moral scruple is being bruised by the heel of Mars, even as a rose under the foot of a careless pedestrian. Dr. Engel, one of the aldermen of Berlin, asserts that 3,000,000 illegitimate children have been born in Germany since the beginning of the war, and that this number is increasing at the rate of 20,000 annually in Berlin. While no f gures are available at this time it is certain that England and France are experiencing similar conditions, while the situation in nations in eastern and southeastern Europe can only b guessed at. Certainly they sra infinitely worse. In Germany every encouragement is being given unmarried women to bear children. Exceptional care is given to mothers and prospective mothers; they can go to government hospitals during confinement and are provider! with nourishing food. Girla working in factories are given from four to six weeks' vacation with full pay, and the city pays the bill of physician and nurses wherever necessary. It is considered a badge of disloyalty not to bear children at this time. Under such circumstances it is not strange that prostitution, in the accepted sense, has decreased materially. When the entire womanhood ft a nation is taught that the sacrifice of virtue is a matter of patriotism.

By Chalmers 7 -Passenger Sets All Motorists Talking Motorists everywhere are talking of the startling feat performed by a Chalmers 7-passenger touring car in Chicago. Something new has been discovered in motor-car achievements. Something never before attempted, never before done by an automobile. To set a mark of 586.8 miles through Chicago's busy streets was a feat in itself. But to do it all on high gear. To make it a non-stop motor run. To carry four passengers. And to show 14 miles to the gallon of fuel. Adds the cap sheaf of surprise.
When Chalmers started out to attempt the feat they said: "Let us make this complete. Let us omit nothing that can add to the difficulty of performance. Let us leave nothing for -the future." The Contest Boarcl of the American Automobile Association certifies that these statements are true.
It has set its seal upon the facts. You can have this flexibility, this economy, this consistent, solid satisfaction in your car. We have on our show-room floor the twin brother of the car that did this. It was a standard, stock 7-passenger Chalmers in all details.
Come and ee the car. Come and learn WHY this unheard of feat was possible. Come and drive the car yourself. Feel the charm of a Chalmers.
