A good crop output throughout the
wholo country is one of the most op
portune pieces of good fortune that
could possibly happen. With the
irrain fields turning out a bountiful
yield, there will be small trouble in
the furnishing of the other, necessary
things which will combine to help
win the war.

The authoress is tho daughter of
a presbytenan minister, who went
out to these regions as a missionary
in lDOd. The book is made up of ex
tracts from letters which he wrote
home. This makes it rather more like
n diary than a narrative, on this
nccount, more personal and intimate.
In fa,ct we sense better the condi

The book will disabuse anyone of

tho Gospel' of God's love for mankind
finds a sympathetic hearer who of-
to ndevolops into an eager inquirer.
The old idea that missionary aid
consists in furnishing flannel waist
coats and colored handkerchiefs to
negroes is refuted completely hy the
recodr of what the missions do in a
practical way, and tho total elimina
tion of eleemosynary aid excrpt in
ing to crowd things any longer on
the western front. In order to bol
ster up the civilian morale it has
been necessary fof the military lea
ders to resort to misrepresentation,
the chief of which is to make it ap
pear to the masses that this is a war
of defense of the Fatherland. This
speech of the Germa'n chancellor Is
on that same line. They daro not
come out in tho open and the only
recourse left is to make it appear
that a life and death atrugglo , li
on for tho preservation of the Ger
man people The peoplo are to a
very largo extent deluded by the
military lenders. The chancellor
wonts it to appear that they would
not fight at all if it wore not that
tlicy aro compelled to in order to
preserve "a place in tho sun," mean
ing that they must fight as n mat
ter of national defense This may
go with tho Gorman people. They
have been misled most cgregiously
on nil the important phases of the
conflict from the very beginning. A
few samples of the way the peoplo
have been kept in tho dark is the
way they have been deluded into
believing that London nnd Paris have
been prncticnlly demolished by nir
raids; that the submarine Is destroy
ing nil the British shipping nnd that
America can send no force of con
sequence to France.
Hut what consummate nsininity is
the declaration "Wo nre fighting for
our existence and long for peace."
In what way was their existence
threatened when they entered Bel
gium? iWhnt dark menace preced
ed the Kaiser's boast that they
wtuld be in Paris in three weeks?
There may he some bit . of truth
that the German militarists long for
peace, nnd they will get it when it is
made impossible for them to precipi
tate any more such trouble as they
started in 1014. That
