THE BLOODY COST.
The preat loss of life In the current, big battle is the terrible fact concerning it. And to think that life !; all lost because of tie vanity and ambition of tke kaiser makes him the greatest murderer of all time. He has killed a million men to Lave the curse of Hohenzollornism. That is all there is to this conflict all there is to the bloodshed, the ruined homes, and the fatal cost. He is trying to Germanize the world. He is setting up kultur as the ruling influence while, as everybody knows, there is not a spark of spirituality In it. It simply represents the selfishness and materialism of the age, which gives no place to freedom, democracy or humanity. If the hateful personality of the kaiser would step out of the way and give free play to the human spirit, the war would soon end and there would not be another one.

morale of our boys Is of vast concern to us. Our boys overseas are about the most important thins in the world now. Of that there i3 no question. In your letters to him, and 30U must write and write often, don't put him in a state of mind that will make him unhappy. He wants to be brave, he will be if he knows you are facing the situation as philosophically .as he is. If he had his own way in the matter he would prefer to be at home with you; don't make it harder for him to do his duty by arousing feelings that he is making a supreme effort to conquer and control. Tearful letters, tears at parting, are harder to bear than a charge of'the enemy. A fine young "hoy took his departure for a training camp one night this week. It was almost train time and his parents were at the depot to bid him good-bye. "I'll be all right," said he. "if Mom dont cry; that will get my goat." Mom didn't cry when the crucial moment came, she had steeled herself against it because she understood. Very likely she weEt home and sobbed her heart out upon her hot pillow, but she sent her boy away with a higher opinion of her and his courage unmarred for the tasks that confront him. It l3 the same with the letters you write to your eoldied and sailor boys; make them helpful rather thnn hurtful. The training which the young men are receiving is beneficial, they are storing up health and taking on weight and broadening their outlook on life. Of a certainty some of them will never come back, but the percentage of these is small, and there is the consolation that your boy will probably be among those who return. At all events your lamentations will not insure his safety or Increase his chances of coming safely home again; rather will they decrease them.
is an interesting recoenition of this fact in an article in i
the London Evening News, which says: The Germans are now squealing about the effectiveness of .the American fighting. They have good reason to squeal. The Americans are fmhtimr in the Indian fashion, whore the t rt nches are abandoned. The American arm." 'caches men to fight in tho open, to advance in short, rushes, take cover, and advance again. Tni- calls fur discipline of the highest degree, but no les- for individual courage and skill. The lesson was first learned from the Indians, and was adapted to modern military needs. North of Chateau Thierry where the marines hunted the Germans, out of their machine gun pits it was shown how effectively this system can be employed azain.st a foe who is schooled differently. As new battle lines are created through forests and hills we may expect to hear more of the American style of fighting.

When Stanley Wyckoff, state food administrator, petulently asked the other day, what is the use of saving food here if other state3 are going to waste n? he was answered very pertinently by an exchange in this fashion: A great deal of use, sir! One might a3 well ask what is the use of being honest when there are so many dishonest people in the world. We shall not only do our duty, but shall be glad and proud to do it. The slackers in food conservation as well as the military slackers wi'd he caught up with sooner or later, and they will fufiyr from the effects of public opinion a wel as the penalties of the law. The man who goes into the army does not ask what is the use of going into the army when so

according to a statement of Joeephus Dan'els. secretary of the navy,
I experienced a curious feelinfr of seifforbiddance. of arrest of speech, almost of ele.ar thinking, when, on the behest of our Vigilantes editors, I was asked to write something concerning the "Reeducation of the Crippled Soldier." For me to do so, sound of limb not -even a cut finger to my account, none of the terrible diaorganization brought about by physical mutilation and its shock this seemed to me to be of the nature cf an impertinence on my part. I picked up a newspaper, to read these words by a distinguished city missionary (of Chicago): "Those men (men who die on the battlefield) are, m my opinion, as truly dying for mankind as did Jesus Christ." The instant .sequel to this reading, strangely enough, was the , .rase from the service of the Sacramcn,, "Tnis is my body broken for thee." Then, on the moment. I said. "That is it! We maylook upon every crippled body of a soldier as a 'body broken' for us a sacrifice offered for our salvation and that of the world." Then I found it easier "1 think of this matter, practically, in the light of en obligation to make some return, however humble, in the direction of helping the soldier to overcome the difficulties of his situation to find the "job" that could f.t him in his maimed condition. But what do I know of jobs"? A woman and a scribble :, howcould I suggest, where trade, mechanics, the counting house and ledger were concerned? Evidently, others conversant with these matters and their detail must do the thinking and the providing of the "job." Then it came to my mind like a beam of sunshine ir.to a dark room, that amonf those returning crippled young men, there were sure to be some with a latent gift, of which they had themselves been unaware, or perhaps an unsatisfied instinct for an art even ability e mounting to a "touch of genius" which it might now be possible to cultivate. If the hands remained, a surprising rew manual dexterity might be developed. Some others might find a "singing voice" worth while to train. Still others might find their metier in writing (their own true experiences stranger than ill fiction!). In any case, it seemed tp me that a confidential drawing-out regarding the soldier's tastes would be a very essential preliminary. And how could one better get him to reveal these and himself than by inducing him to talk about what he did and wished to do when he "was ' a boy" alas, not so very long ego, for he is stiK so very young and with so much time still before him! That lifetime it should be made not merely time but life for him, in finding him as many of the pleasures of life as possible, among which are "employments." which a poet has called those "perennial time-proof enjoyments."
