ARMENIANS "SAVED"
Russia, under the terms of a so-called peace treaty with Ger
many, has asked the latter country to rescue the Armenians from
Turkish massacres. Such a demand on the part of Russia might elicit
a smHcfrom thinking people if the whole affair were not so ghastly
and terrible. Of course, Germany will insist that the Turks cease
their massacre of Christians! t is equally probable that Germany
will take all her troops from the western front in order to punish the
' A WISH ' DECISION.
Secretary McAdoo has withdrawn
an appropriation of 14,300,000 for
extensions and Improvements of fed
eral buildings, on the ground that
the expenditure is not essential and
that the country needs the money for
other purposes. Three cheers for
KcAdoo's decision In this Instance.
It s a mighty good idea to invest that
money in khaki and guns Instead of
lumber and cement better to safe
guard those federal buildings as they
stand than to jeopardlzo their safety
by depriving the army and navy of
necessary equipment.
PRICKS ONE

It Is an Interesting fact that all

Turks for their brutality! Germany simply hates butchery and es- lUy rUeD. The Yale economit.
Irving Fisher, says prices are now
five to ten times as high as 1000
years' ago In France and. from four
to six times as high as S00 years ago.
And sd'we are not the only genera
yon to complain of the h'gb cost of
living. In the sixteenth century we
find the complaint that wheat cost
from three to ten times Its average
price during the three preceding cec
turies, and "all things .else, what
ever, sustenance for man, was like
wise raised without all conscience or
reason." This great upward move
ment of prices In the sixteenth cen

pecially does she hate warfare against innocent women and children
and noncombatants!
The Statistician gives the number of men killed in battle in the
Union armies in the Civil war a 61,362; died of wounds, 34,727;
died of diseases, 183,287. And the number deserted, -WOa.
More than twice as many deserted as were killed in battle and died of
wounds, and nearly twice as many died of diseases as were killed in
battle and died of wounds. A partial ttatement, according to the
same authority, cave 104.428 desertions on the Confederate side. In
the item of killed in battle, the Civil war was a mere skirmish, as
compared with the great war now being waged. But the item of
desertions shows up the present United States soldiers in a white light
by comparison. There are practically so desertions, even among the
conscripted men. What makes the difference f Where is the man
who has longed for the "good old days" of patriotism! In this re
imcct. as in most others the khaki boys now under the Stars and
Stripes will compare' more than favorably with any similar body of
men the world has ever seen under arms.

THE VALVK OF FAITH.
One of the most shocking disas
ters that ever happened In the Unit
ed States was the burning of the Ok
lahoma state hospital for the insane.
In which thirty-six patlenta lost their
lives many of them running directly
into 'the flames, not realizing what
they were doing. The very thought
of suoh caUstrophes is likely to caat
a shadow over the minds of the san
est, strongest of us, unless we keep
our mental feet firmly upon the rock
ot faith, lnsitlng on the belief that,
in spite of all seeming discord and
Inharmony, there is a great good
nlan back of It all. "For now we see
as through a glass, darkly."
"Everr angel In- his chainless free
dom looks upon a slave; .
Every star that ahlnes in heaven still
must shine upon a grave;
On the drift my feet are sliding, and
my earthly eyes are dust-
But to God a voice I lift in some such
words as these: I trust"

sets the stagnant blood In our veins

There are. of course, some who strug
