cadea. beyond all terrors of civ 11 war, there already shlnea for us the maimirieent, beautiful form of man without a God, without a master and free of authority. "We hate religion because It lulls tne spirit with lying tales, takes away the courage and faith in the power of man. faith in the triumph of Justice" here on the real earth and nt in a chimerical heaven. Religion covers everything with fog, real evil becomes visionary and visionary good a reality. It has always sanclfied slavery, grief and tears. And we declare war on all rods and religious fables. Wo are atheists. When It Is considered that the doctrines thus advoeted are those held by the dorolnent element In Bolshevist Russia It may be realized what a prot?em civilisation ha before it. That these disciples of ruin have the daring to attempt to spread ther vicious doctrines in America shows the necessity for relentless action on the part of our govornmen There ca be no eomvronila with, no toleration of, suoh toachinss. To root out utterly their advocates ia the only possible oour-. Bolshevism and Americanization are two opposite extremes and the lattw will not tolerate the survival o! the former ia his free land.

The announcement from the White House thai

President Wilson during-, his unfortunate illness has never keen xnntally incapacitated is good news for the American 3?eople. However, many people may differ from Mr. Wilson in politics and policy the man ia aa ecaxce as a hen's toith who would tse him suffer and while the White 2i0U34 is just as apt as the lowliest cottage to have illness therein, everyon who loves his country and that takes in almost everybody we hoe. will f urvently pray thnt Mr. Wilson may eoon recover hia pristine vigor. As to the cauee of Mr. Wilson's illness, its history and diagnosis, much water will pass over the wheel before the truth about it ia known. The corses of some of our presidents have V. cc.iie ashes before the country has been finally nlleihtened a to those last illness details, guarded eo . -uously and sealously, from that all-consuming cur"h which we surround those who we put and keep L'; ... cfice. - find Bore who are happy in Mr. Wilson's af'Ve all want a healthful president and cone of . to speculate as to how eeriously he ia ill or what "eat affects him.

Make Tlia Jews Safe. Relief will follow the reading by the Jews of the United States soul thofr friends of the telegram of reply from Secretary of State Iansing, to Col. Harry Cutler,

chairman of the Jewish welfare board, in respect to the Jmurders of Jews in Burope. We rejoice that "the situa

tion of the Jews ia receiving the careful and sys

tematic attention of this government," for we believe that

the practical relief of oppressed Je s of Russia. Poland and Ukrainla derends upon the influence of the United States as a world power and u;on the Bjftematlc help of the American people ns a whole. We fail to see how Poland. Russia and Ukralnia can be reconstructed, how tney can become full participants In world affairs unless they provide guarantees of religious and race freedom and equality before the law which shall be cnforcvble by their military authority- The United States can direct its Influence toward such consummation- says the South Bend Tribune. The essential sentences of Mr. Lansing's telegram follow: "Information la the possession of the department of state indicate that, while there Is much lawlessness among certala regions in southwestern Russia, arising from the civil war there in progress, and that Jews are massacred at times by Irresponsible bands, there ia nevertheless a systematic effort on the part of responsible leaders to restrain their people from excesses. It is believed that there has recently been a considerable Improvement In the general situation. The situation of the Jews and others in the regions in question Is receiving the careful

and systematc attention of the government and every po

sible means will be adopted to relieve their distress. An Amricaa consul general, accompanied by an sdequate staff is being sent to Odessa, and It 5s hoped that through his

efforts further information will be obtained concerning

the general conditions and the situation of particular per

sons. The department of state of fere Its assistance to any organisaion desiring to send the people in the regions in question relief furnished by their relatives in the United

States- It is suggested that for the sake of efficiency any

hlng of this nature which may be undertaken be coacen-

Itrated so far as possible in the hands of a single organi

zation. It Is to be hoped that the affairs of the United States 5n Poland, Russia and Ukrainia will be prosecuted with euch vigor that pogroms which have been reported to this country In the last year will be ended. The first duty Is to see that the Jews are made safe in person, property and conduct. Without that the protestationa of regard for European peoples made by our government during various peace overtures will have been in vain.
