ridiculous ; and by the gods I believe that Philip could not wish' our republic to take ' any other course than what ye now pursue, , Ycu miss your time, waste your money, iook Tor a person to manage your affairs, are discontented, accuse one another." And now let the men in this community who do not believe that the United States should have entered this war, and the men who believe in pacifism, read what Demosthenes told the traitors

i and. pacifists of his day:

"You partake of the idleness and ease, under the charm whereof you resent not your wrongs; while other persons get the reward. Into all these cases I could not enter now; but when any question about Philip arises, some one starts up directly and says: 'We must have no trifling, no , proposal of war,': and then goes on to say : 'What a blessing it is to be at peace !' And again: 'Certain persons wish to rob the treasury' and other arguments they urge, no doubt, in full conviction of their truth. But surely there is no such need of persuading you to observe peace, you that sit here persuaded already." And finally, you patriots, listen to the course of action he .proposes against the enemies within the city's gates: "These persons, who have openly sold themselves to Philip, you must execrate, you must beat their brains out; for it is impossible, I say impossible, to vanquish your foreign enemies, until you have punished your enemies within the city ; these are the stumbling-blocks that must cripple your efforts against the foreigner."

Demosthenes Again A perusal of the philippics delivered by Demosthenes to awaken the Athenians from their lethargy and arouse them to the danger that was threatening them because of the imperialistic ambitions of Philip of Macedonia, reveals a striking parallel between them and the people of the United States. The Athenians had become soft and flabby buth physically and intellectually. Like our own people, the Athenians had basked in the sunshine of prosperity and happiness so long that they could not see why it was necessary to brave the cold and tempest in order that the national existence might be safeguarded, and a foe, many miles distant, be impressed with the foolhardiness of trying to invade their country. And among them were pacifists, such as we have in the United States. Men who derided and denounced the great leaders that were trying to prepare their country for the war that was imminent. When one reads the pleas of Demosthenes for preparedness and his denunication of the politicians who said it was impossible for Philip to invade the country of the Athenians, verily it calls to mind the men of our own country, who a few years ago poked fun at the champions of preparedness. . Compare what Demosthenes told the Athenians with our own way of doing things and see how closely the parallel is: "When Philip is preparing, you, instead of doing likewise and making counter-preparations, remain listless, and, if any one speaks a word, clamor him down; when you rpceive word that any place is lost or beseiged, then you listen and prepare. But the time to have heard and consulted was then when you declined; the time to act and employ your preparations is now that you are hearing. Such being your habits, you are the only people who adopt this singular course; others deliberate usually before action, you deliberate after action."

The Appeal of France to the Red Cross

Andy Foster, a well-known character to hie native city, had recently shuffled off this mortal coil in destitute circumstances, although in hia earlier days he enjoyed financial prosperity. A prominent merchant, an old friend of the family, attended the funeral and was visibly affected as he gazed for the last time on his old friend and associate. The mourners were conspicuously few in number and some attention was attracted by the sorrowing merchant. "The old gentleman was very dear to you?" ventured one of the bearers after the funeral was over. . . "Indeed he was," answered the mourner. "Andy was one true friend. He never asked me to lend him a cent, though I knew that he was practically starving to death." A certain bishop was a very eloquent preacher, says Willie Collier, speaking of turkey cutlets the Sunday after Thanksgiving. As soon as the morning service was over many people went to him to express their appreciation of his sermon. One woman in particular was most outspoken in its praise. "Why bishop," she said, "you can never know what your sermon meant to me. It was just like water to a drowning man!"

Glowing Picture of Future Painted by Admiral Von Tirpitz AMSTERDAM, Dec. 24. A gloomy picture f Germany's future was painted by Grand Admiral Von Tirpitz in his recent speech in Essen, according to the Hamburg News. Regarding a successful economic war against Germany after the war he said: - "Imagine the position if we simultaneously have to bear the burden of taxation which must fall on every German and, despite the fallen value of German money, we still have to buy the most necessary food and raw materials from abroad. Can anyone in his heart of hearts really believe that in these circumstances, without demnity and without security, we could avoid Germany's ruin." Germany's plight at the hands of England he bemoaned as follows: "Not only has England taken our colonies and Mesopotamia, but everywhere she has made deeper and firmer bases for her maritime and colonial supremacy. " She ha3 tarnished and trodden down the prestige and honor

of Germany by unprecedented calumnies. In the whole transatlantic world we are considered as conquered and done for."

O a recent news cablegram sent by the American

Red Cross Commission in France to the War Council in Washington there was appended this

sentence: "If the American people could only get a picture of the misery among those daily driven out of their homes and dumped in poverty among other parts of the country oftentimes terribly sick or mutilated they

would clndlv tin all in their nnnor in ycln " '

This was not an appeal for aid; it was an involuntary expression aye, prayer of unselfish men, drawn from them by the picture on which they had gazed since the War Council sent them to France. A ghastlier picture wa3 never limned by the brush of Verestchagin. This picture a panorama of France and Belgium created by the insensate and insatiate savagery of the Hun is in a great measure dimmed by distance to most of us in America. The pictures of Serbia, Rumania, Armenia any spot where the super-Goth has wielded his weapons of destruction, torture, and death are equally shocking, albeit even dimmer to us than the canvas depicting the misery of France and Belgium. It has taken Prussianism

BOAKD OF MUNICIPAL RESEARCH. Isn't it strange that some people have an idea nothing can be done satisfactorily unless they have a hand in it? It is strange that these men do not offer themselves for the different offices. That would show whether the voters think as much of their wisdom and ability as they do themselves. Wouldn't it be wise to quit taking these knockout drops and instead take a few drops of oil of life, which cures most everything? It might cure this particular disease, so that everyone would boost and assist the men elected to office, and make it a real pleasure to live in Richmond. B. A. KENNEPOHL.
