A Sunday Thought

"Those who have been heroes of a just cause and martyrs to an ideal live forever in the memories of the centuries to come and will continue to exist through the unceasing resurrection which multiplies to infinity the virtue of their acts." Le Temps, Paris.

What an inspiring thought from a land whose sacrifices have saved the world from bestial tyranny! Martyrs to an ideal are immortal. The centuries never forget their deeds. Generation repeats them to generation. Posterity carries onward their glorious memories and enshrines them in thankful hearts. Poor, bleeding France, her territory ravaged, her sons buried by the millions, never lost faith in her ideal, never faltered in her hard task to accomplish in fact what she believed in spirit. She knew that even if the cruel materialism of Germany's war civilization temporarily crushed her to death, the day would dawn when the blood of her martyrs would be the seed of power to vindicate her faith in the principles of righteousness, justice and civilization. The world will never forget her heroism, never disparage her sacrifice, but "multiply to infinity the virtue of her acts." Her martyrs were the bulwark that held back the hordes of Huns until a sister republic could say, "Lafayette we are here." And well may we apply the lofty sentiment of the Parision editor to our boys who fall martyrs to the cause on foreign soil. They also are the "heroes of a just cause and martyrs to an ideal." They are sacrificing- their lives for France and her cause. Their memories .will never be forgotten. France in her travail today, with stunning evidences of her own grief and bereavement everywhere, is not so crushed in spirit and bowed down in despondency, that her generous heart has not accepted as brothers the boys who have come to her aid from overseas. If France in her darkest hour can rise buoyantly above the havoc and carnage of battle and destruction to the knowledge that her brave soldiers have not died in vain, why should we grieve unduly as those who have no hope? The mere trivialities of this life leave no enduring record. But unselfish deeds performed in an exalted spirit for the benefaction of the race never are forgotten. Our boys are performing deeds that will endure the tide of time. "Those who have been heroes of a just cause and martyrs to an ideal live forever in : the memories of the centuries to come and will continue to exist through the unceasing : ; resurrection which multiplies to infinity the ' : virtue of their acts." :

Ouch, It Hurts! Potsdam's opinion about the prowess of American soldiers has undergone a change. First, we were a set of busy shopkeepers who never could learn to fight. ' Now we're such bang-up, rattling good scrappers that the French are employing "American cannon fodder in comparatively large numbers" and "they paid for it in some tens of thousands of killed negroes and Americans," says the inspired correspondent of the Wolff Bureau, the semi-official German news agency. The Crown Prince is getting one of the most severe drubbings of his career in the Soissons and Rheims sector, impelling German correspondents to resort to every imaginable kind of subterfuge and mendacity to hide the extent of the disaster. The Crown Prince, you will recall, was elected to reach Paris via Verdun. What our brave French associates in arms did to his ambitions in that direction happened so recently that it is still fresh in our memories. Now he is forced to swallow another pill of defeat, which the Franco-

American troops have' coated With bayonets, bombs and bullets. , , . The old excuses of a strategic retreat no longer pacify the civilians at home, so the Great Command is trying to protect the Crown Prince's failure by trumping up alleged heavy casualties. Admittedly the Americans lost men in their sensational advance but the loss is iri no propor

tion to the gains and does not exceed the estimates of our own military leaders. Any references to American troops as cannon fodder is ridiculous in the extreme, merely illustrating the length to which the Great Command is driven to explain the total collapse of the much heralded "peace drive" of its fifth offensive this year. That the Crown Prince has received many black and blue spots since last Thursday is obvious to. even the most neutral and disinterested students of events ; that it hurts him cannot be gainsaid by his most intimate friends; that he has no tender spot in his heart for the Yankee Doodle boys cannot be denied. The truth is, the Most High's heir is sore all over. Stern joy swells in the hearts of Americans to know that our boys not only stood the supreme test of a German attack, but also filled the heart of the enemy with dismay at the thought of the things that are still to come. The victory on the Marne is only a forerunner of the battles that will forever curb the ambitions of the Berlin gang to run the world. We will not be deceived by the wild yards Berlin is spreading to weaken the morale at home. So long as our boys over there are driving their bayonets into the retreating Huns and the allied line is advancing eastward, we have no reason to weep and wail. Our's is the song of victory. We

know that our boys are garnering a rich harvest of German cannon fodder, our only regret being that the Crown Prince is not included.

DinnerStoms

Old Rubber for the Red Cross The Red Cross is collecting old rubber articles. The Elks' club has donated the front yard for the location of a pile of old rubber goods. Every citizen is asked to ransack his house from attic to cellar and his premises from the front gate to the barn or garage. The rubber will be sold and the money turned over to the Richmond branch of the Red Cross. If you have old rubber overshoes, hose, boots, coats, bicycle and automobile tires, and other discarded rubber articles, throw them into the Elks' yard. Don't forget it. This movement has been tried in other cities with great success. If the Richmond spirit asserts itself aggressively it will be a winner here. No article is too small. Wrap it up and the next time you are downtown, throw it across the fence. The height of the pile will indicate the amount of interest the city takes in Red Cross work. If you neglect to throw your contribution on the pile, you'll feel guilty when you see how the pile is growing.

A house-hunter saw an advertisement in the paper describing a charming house "within a stone's throw of the station." He made an appointment and in due course was escorted to the house in question, two miles away. When they reached the threshold he turned to the agent, suavely. "Would you mind introducing me," he whispered, "to the 'person who threw that stone?" At a political meeting the speaker made a jest, and finding that his audience had missed the point, he said playfully: "I had hoped that you would laugh at that." Then from a remote corner of the hall, a plaintiff voice broke the silence, "I laughed, mister." Then everybody did.

JEATON CHAUTAUQUA

CLOSES TONIGHT EATON", O., July 27. Saturday evening will mark the close of the local Chautauqua, which opened last Sunday. The last number of Saturday evening's program will be a lecture by Private Arthur K. Herman, thirteenth Canadian Black Watch. The Junior Red path Club, under direction of Miss Anne E. Mullin, story girl, will present a pageant, "Revue of the Nations." The other number on the program is the Lovat Concert company. The Lovat company appeared Saturday tfternoon also. Mora, the magician, appeared at the afternon session. Attractions Friday included thf- Great Lakes Entertainers and Sidney Landon, impersonator. Some doubt exists at this time as to whether a chautauqua will be held here next year. The required number of guarantors has not been se-

cured up to this time, but the local

committee is hopeful that matters will work out satisfactorily. The committee announces that it will break only a little more than even on the present meeting.

German Spy System From The Century. THE very elaborateness of the German spy system in this country, its extraordinary organization, proved its undoing in the hour of crisis. In a single office of a railway company or other large American business establishment employing 100 to 300 rien, there might have been three or four German spies working in the same room "for years and not one of them even suspecting that any of the others was a fellow spy. In the United States, at least, a German spy never knows who is just above him in rank or who is just below him. As a matter of fact, each one is ordered to report to just one man in the United States and to receive instructions only from that man. To understand the wrecking of the system on April 6, 1917, take the entirely supposable case of a German spy located in Omaha, who had not been discovered by the Department of Justice, and consequently was not seized during the round-up on April 6. He would have known just one other German spy in the United States, this being a man in Chicago, perhaps, to

whom he reported and from whom he received orders. But while the Omaha man escaped arrest, his superior in Chicago was seized. Of course, the Omaha spy had no means of knowing that the Chicago man had been seized; all he knew was that after April 6 he did not hear from the Chicago spy and could not' get into communication with him. The Chicago man had simply disappeared without leaving a trace of his whereabouts. Here, then, was the Omaha spy completely isolated, still at liberty, but marooned in a foreign land, not knowing or even suspecting the identity of a single other spy planted here by the German government. He had nobody to turn to, nobody whom he could trust, nobody from whom he could receive instructions. The German spy machine had been organized with such elaborate secrecy that when a uingle link was broken the chain fell to pieces.

THE PROGRESSIVE ARMY.' Statistics show that 2.300,000 babies were born in the United States during 1917. "The nation's greatest crop is its crop of babies." T. R. A million men, my own Columbia. And, after that, a million more. And then, if need be, ten more millions Will land on Europe's serried shore. For Freedom's message will "get over" The crop report brings splendid cheer. If man-power wins, we're right in clover. Two million babies every year. Summer politics is having a terrible time trying to develop enough of a punch to entitle it to a place on the first pase.

Now that paper trousers are being worn extensively in Germany, it seems that the Strike on the Box Match was invented just in time.

And it brings not only SUCCESS to you ,but ads prosperity to Richmond and the surrounding district as well.
