God With Us and Loot The Emperor of Austria in a speech to his troops before they began their offensive against Italy said: "Before you is the enemy. There glory awaits you, and also honor, good food, abundant spoils, final peace. With the help of God, make the supreme sacrifice for your king, for liberty and for your beautiful fatherland." And not so long ago, his boss, the German kaiser, said: "Either the German principles of right, freedom, honor and morality must be upheld or Anglo-Saxon principles, with their idolatry of mammon, must be victorious." The two teutonic monarchs mix their piety and lust for plunder in amusing abandon. Emperor Charles is an apt pupil of Emperor William. And so, when he implored his god to help the Austrian soldiers to rob and plunder Italy, he remembered the fine example of ruthless robbery which his schoolmaster had set for him in Belgium and Russia. Emperor William believes in the spoils system. That was the motive which prompted him to precipitate the world war. "Der Tag," for which he had prayed to his god, and which his officers had toasted with beer mugs time and again, meant the day on which he could begin looting and robbing to his heart's desire. When the German Emperor prates about "principles of right, freedom, honor and morality," he is indulging in terms that are meaningless to him, for the truth is not in him. Principles of right and freedom did not exist for him when he invaded helpless Belgium and declared the sacred treaty binding the two nations a "scrap of paper." Principles of honor and morality were forgotten when he seized Belgium's industrial wealth, deported its men and women to work in German munition plants, shelled Red Cross ambulances, sank hospital ships, and more recently robbed Russia of its best provinces after a farcical peace conference at Brest-Litovsk. The piety and plunder prayers of William and Charles make the world wonder from whence come their religious conceptions and ideals. A barbarian ruler might be pardoned for holding out the prospect of plunder and loot to his followers as an incentive to hard fighting, but when monarchs who profess in public statement to be Christians project the reward of "abundant plunder" before the minds of their soldiers and in the next breath urge them forward "in the name of god," they voice a discrepancy that is palpably apparent to both a follower of Christ and an enlightened pagan. Emperor William's fear that Anglo-Saxon idolatry of mammon will ruin the world is amusing. Of all the money-mad nations four years ago, none surpassed the German empire. The Kaiser and his leaders boasted with loud declamation of the gold which the Germans had accumu-

lated, and of their growing wealth by virture of the industrial and scientific prowess of the people. What caused the present war? Nothing but the Kaiser's insane desire to annex more territory so that the consequent establishment of new markets might bring more gold to his country. And now in the midst of the gigantic struggle, the kaiser believes the world must be saved from the mammon idolatry of the Anglo-Saxons and be made safe for German principles of right, freedom, honor and morality. What nonsense !

Self made Exiles

"Selfmade exiles" is the term of reproach which the Saturday Evening Post plasters on men and women who failed to subscribe for Liberty Loan bonds and War Savings Stamps and

refused or gave niggardly sums to the Red Cross. The expression fits them exactly. Every community has its quota of men of means who love money more than they love their country and civilization. Richmond has its share, and so has Muncie, Indianapolis, Chicago and New York. The treatment which a patriotic community should accord these exiles is set out in the last paragraph of the appended editorial from the Saturday Evening Post : . Liberty Loan and Red Cross drives disclose in nearly every community certain obstinate slackers. They are so few nowadays that they at once become notorious and are pointed out like the man with the rubber ear and the armless boydismal freaks standing in sharp contract to normal humanity. Very rarely are they pro-German. Pro-Germanism does not advertise itself now in that conspicuous way. Mostly they are grouches and sponges. Their simple psychology is that of a pig in a clover patch. While the feeding is good, nothing less than the impact of a rock against the ribs or of a scantling in the spinal column will inspire them to move on. So long as somebody else will keep the boat going they will neither bail nor row. They are the cross-grained, bilious sort which nurses all real or fancied grievances against the community in general. Small as their number is, they raise an irritating problem. The community's feeling toward them is like the feeling of men who have been volunteering to put out a fire toward the ablebodied citizen who refused to lend a hand but perched on a horse block at a safe distance and watched their efforts with amused interest. The inclination to throw a brick in his direction is strong and natural. But it must be resisted. There is nothing to be done with these obstinate slackers except to let them extensively

alone. No man can thrive on the contempt of the community in which he lives. They must find that out. The man who is well able to lend a hand now and refuses to do it voluntarily exiles himself from the sympathy and respect of his neighbors. Let his own judgment upon himself as an exiie stand in the future.

For a Patriotic Fourth You cannot be 100 percent patriotic July 4th if You dispense with fire works, alone! That is not enough. You must also Refrain from an extravagant picnic dinner, which will serve to waste food or permit-of its unnecessary consumption. Refrain from indulgence in candy, iced tea or lemonade which, require excessive quantities of sugar. So declares Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana. Dr. Barnard says the wheat and beef and sugar situations are entirely too serious and have too much bearing on the prospects of victory or defeat in France to allow anyone hon.estly patriotic to ignore the strict regulations, and especially on a day dedicated wholly to patriotic devotion, as July 4th.

A Song of the Flag SING we the song of the flag. Of the banner that billows and beats

J As it rips through the wind on the roofs of

the towns " And whips at the top of the fleets.

It tears through the rage of the blast, In a fury it tugs to be free, As it swings in the teeth of the storms of the land And swings in the gales of the sea. It runs in the winds of the plains, It steadies and stiffens and thrills, It streams in the smoke of the scattering clouds And gleams on the bayonet hills. O, sing we the song of the flag. As it bellies and flutters and flings, As it leaps to a home in the arms of the air And laughs at the lusts of the kings. It flames with the red of the dawn And the white of the breakers that race, It burns with a beacon of wonderful stars On a banner of infinite space. It lifts where the battles are blown, Where the thunders are hurtled and hurled, It lightens the loads of the weak of the earth , And guards at the gates of the world! Perrin Holmes Lowney.

DINNER 5TORIEi

Douglas Fairbanks was talking

about the striking new fashion in

evening gown the gown cut out under the arms like a swimmer's

jersey.

"A girl." he said, "asked me the

other night how I liked her gown. It was. of coursse, cut in the new way. and I said I liked it fine.

" 'Don't you think, said the girl,

that there is more Individuality to

be observed in woman's dress than

formerly?

" 'Yes,' I said. 'Ever so much less dress and ever so much more indi

viduality'." Sir Douglas Haig, the Scottish commander-in-chief of the British arm

ies, once said at a London dinner

party: "A Scot bored his English friends by boasting about what a fine country Scotland was. " 'Why did you leave Scotland.' a Londoner asked, 'since you like the place so much?' "It was like this, he said. 'In Scotland everybody was as clever a3 myself, and I could make no progress; but here' and he chuckled again 'here I'm setting along vera weel.",

Moment

In Pennsylvania, where they are still allowed to sell the stuff that

warms the cockles of the heart, a

farmer walked into a saloon and, handing the bartender a two-gallon jug, ordered him to fill it with the very best whisky. This the barkeeper did, but when the customer asked to have the amount charged, he immediately began to hit the ceiling. "Your credit is no good here, he yelled, whereat he poured the liquor back Into the barrel, handed the farmer his demijohn and told him to beat it. The farmer went out back of the saloon, broke the neck off the jug, and there, reposing in the bottom of it was an enormous sponge which still held enough of the precious fluid for two or three celebrations. It is more blessed to give than to receive especially if it is a sour tip on the stock market. It has been a long time since the palpitating world has had a picture postcard from Mrs. Pankhurst in the Hallowell jail saying: "Having a Inej time. Wish you were here.

Here is a man who has paid out his good money in ADVANCE for a suit of clothes he never saw. If he had only been wise in the FIRST place, he would have bought that suit of clothes in Richmond. Then he would have been assured of a good fit, the same quality of goods and at a lower price. Yes, the Richmond Merchant can beat the catalogue man on prices every time. That has been proved time and again. But people are only very slowly beginning to know it. The catalogue business is so huge, its arguments are so impudent and overbearing that many a man is persuaded AGAINST his own judgment. He is carried off his feet and literally STAMPEDED into doing things he would not dream of doing if left alone to think it out by himself. Neighbor don't be stampeded by that picture. Tear it out and bring it to a Richmond dealer. Figure it out with the Richmond Merchant. Get together with HIM. He WANTS to give you a square deal. Keep your money in your pocket until you are

sure.
