They are weary of the war, and they have been weary all along.
Tired of fighting for their further enslavement, and for prin
ciples in which they do not believe, they are becoming bold so that
repressive measures are taken to curb them, by their masters.
; The history, of Central Europe has been that of long and constant
conflict between Teutonic and Slavic peoples. From the first con
tact of the two races to the present day the Teutons have been the
aggressors, seeking to rule their Slavic neighbors, and the Slavs have
been overcome by the superior solidarity and leadership of the Ger
manic people. Yet, though the Slavs have been subjugated and en
slaved until the word "slave' is traced back to the Slavs captured
liv the Teutons, the Slav stunt has
' 9 K " - "
inal meaning for their own name was "glory" or "free." Always
they have demanded individual freedom, personal liberty to such
an extent that they would not submit to the authority of their own
. leaders they would not stand together. ' The Germans, on the other
hand, have been submissive by nature; they have stood as one man,
sacrificing their personal rights for the community or their rulers.
, Germany has conquered Slavic nations ; but she has never assimi
lated them; she. has never become a melting pot for the many ele
ments that have gone to make up her empire. The Prussian remains
. a Prussian ; the Bavarian retains his characteristics. Poland, though
ruled by ueraany and, Austria, kept her own tongue and her old
customs and traditions. Before she was blood-drenched and drained
of life by the onslaught of the German army in 1914-15 Poland had
entered upon a remarkable era of prosperity and a great revival of
her. national spirit.
Bohemia, also a Slavic country, ruled by Prussianized Austria
for the past half-century, has made great advance in renationalizing
itself. She has made rapid strides in agriculture, trade and manu
facturing also. Prague, with all its antiquity and romantic history,
has become a prosperous modern city. But it is entirely Bohemian
the Czech language and eustoms are retained : everything German is
taboo. W. B. Bailey, in "The Slavs of the War Zone," says : "One
"must try to grasp the fact that, within the memory of those still
living, these people the Czechs or Bohemians were almost as ruth
lessly oppressed as are the Croats, the Bosnians, the Poles, the Slovaks
and the Slovenes. Almost, but not quite, for they have shown al
ways a greater power, of resistance than have their kindred of the
other branches of the Slavonic races. The task which they have ac
complished during the last score of years has been little short of mir
aculous. They have now practically banished their racial enemies
from their midst. What, has become of the Teutonic historic and
traditional bureaucracy so carefully planted and protected by Maria
Thereseat It is gone. VThe Stuff' as the Germans designate the
Czechs has swept it all away, just as they have banished all that
is Teutonic from their factories, banks, business and even from1 politi
cal power within their borders.'
Serbia, the brave little country which. unwittingly furnished the
pretext for which Germany sought to begin her world-devouring
campaign, has always maintained her independence, although she
has done it at frightful cost of blood and suffering. And in 1915 she
paid a penalty which makes the world wonder and shiver, even under
the ever-recurring tragedies of today. Serbia has been always the
gate to the East which the Teutons coveted she has time and again
stood between Europe and the hordes of the Far East. She is still
ready to fight for her national freedom.
' We of the West have not known and appreciated the strength
of the Slav spirit which by its very nature is opposed to Teutonism.
and which Germany, through many years of oppression and cruelty,
has never been able to change. In fact, it has grown and developed
until it has created an ever-increasing racial feeling which is culmi
nating in the'raovement, known as the Ju go-Slav or South-Slav union.
This is now becoming an important factor in the complicated ques
tions of the present situation. More and more it threatens Austria
since more than half of the population of that country is Slavic in
origin and in spirit

A LADY PATRIOT.
Maybe some folks might not think
it ladylike, but a very good idea of a
lady patriot Is represented by the
Pennsylvania woman who trapped
200 skunks in the wilds of the Alle-

tion of the Anti-Saloon League or
America was given birth. On Friday
of this week the pioneers of the
movement, with other prominent
workers of the organization, are to
gather at Oberlln for a celebraUon
of the silver jubilee of the league.
Numerous temperance and prohi
bition societies had existed In Amer
ica previous to the' organization of
the Anti-Saloon league. While the
most of them had accomplished good
results in arousing public sentiment
against the liquor evil. ' none of
them had set out to accomplish Its
purpose along the exact lines adopt
ed by the Anti-Saloon League and
carried out by that organization
with great success. ,
Civic reform was made the basis
of the movement inaugurated by the
Anti-Saloon League. Its first efforts
were directed toward the election of
men who would enforce the laws
already on the statute books.. And
through Its work along these lines
many communities began the enforce
ment for tbe first time of the Sunday-closing
law and the laws pro
hibiting the sale of liquors to minors
and habitual drunkards.,
When this was accomplished the
league set about to do .Its best to
abolish the saloons altogether. The
methods pursued in the new cam
paign were the same as before. Ev
ery effort was directed toward se
curing the election of men to the
state and municipal law-making
bodies who were In favor; of anil
saloon, legislation. As a result of Its
work county and local option laws
were enacted in many o the states.
Under these laws county after coun
ty and town, after town voted "dry,
until in some of the states the num
ber of saloons was reduced by more
than one-half within a period of a
few years. ;, ,
The .success -of the local option
campaign encouraged tbe league to
seek a higher goal the enactment
of laws . which would bring about
statewide prohibition. Again the ef
forts of the organization were re
warded with marked success. In c-
operation with other temperance
forces.-but itself taking the lead in
the actual fighting, the Anti-Saloon
League has brought one state after
another Into tho "dry column.,
Then was launched tho great move
ment of an amendment to the feder.
al constitution which should abso
lutely prohibit the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors through
out the United States, la the prose
cution of this movement the Anti
Saloon League again took a leading
part. In the national political cam
paign of 1914 and again In 1916 the
league bent Its efforts toward secur
ing the election to congress of can
didates pledged Mo the prohibition
cause.
A celebration; of. the passage of
the federal amendment by congress
Is to be combined with the silver
Jubilee celebration of the league at
Oberlln this week. . After a survey
of the country showing the relative
position of the wet and dry forces
with reference to the ultimate action
on the national amendment, tho
league leaders declare that the evi
dence of prohibition sentiment Is n
widespread and pronounced as to af
ford good ground for believing that
the nation will be nominally dry lorn

TWEXTY-THIRD PSALM.

1. Tho Lord is my own particular

I will keep forever after.
3. He restore tb my soul, but says
nothing about restoring' the devas

and, Serbia, so I can't be expected to
do it. He leadeth me In the paths
of righteousness for His name's sake,
thus showing that those who con
sider my glorious deeds to be wrong
are hopeless Idiots. If He. leadeth
me In- the paths of righteousness,
there can be nothing wrong in kill

aging mys brave troop to act of
frlghtfulness In order to make my
enemies respect me.
i. Yea. though I walk through th
