T'iiey carry us back to the pHthorinjL of patiict? who failed to frume their new republic until , they had knelt in prayer find asked ; the blessing and aid of Divine Trvvi- j denei ! Christms,- thought remind us that our republic never drew the sword nave in a righteous caue and for the promotion of the n.csMife from Beth lehem. America entered the WorM war in the belief that it was the last that the. dawn of permanent peace was near. Four years of doubt and almost de npair, and there is r.o peace. The quarrels and strifes of the Old World are poisoning the universe like some plague. After an unparalleled sacrif.ee of men and treasure. America is not credited with the spirit of the Nazar ene, but is charged with selfishness and aloofness. Tin ref'ex n ct" Furore's endless strife an-i tunnoil is a perilous disregard for law and order, for the sanctity of established social customs and for human life itself all amid an environment of apparent peace. It is useless to talk about world peace until there is a rebirth of the spirit of Christmas in the human heart It is admitted that the Christ ian church has failed in a measure, because the doctrines of the Xaiarene have not been tried. True, the church is a powerful agency for good, yet the fact remains that it has been un able to establish the Prince of Peace on the throne. Yet the world would have been lost long sWce had it not been for the church. No institution is better or stronger than its con stituent parts. Whatever may have been or now may be, our human aspirations, some how there is lacking in our national life, that uplifting spirit of Christ ian loyalty and patriotism, that in definable love of country so dear to our forefathers and foremothers. It may be due to the by-product of a world war known as internationalism, or to the effect of too much alien immigration; yet it is here. The solution of the viul problems confronting us as a nation, lies in les dependence on a nebulous and material search after world regener ation and more dependence upon the tenet and principles of the fathers and mothers who Jeft us a priceless heritage; le?s reliance on human agency and more reliance upon the help of Providence and prayer. No mere human machinery, no mere act of Congress, can keep this republic great and secure, and able to set an example to and uplift the world. We must get in touch once more with the emotions, with the sentiments, with the moral and spir itual forces which surround us, and which in a mysterious way are wait ing to be utilized by a groping na tion. As a people, we are in danger of losing our national character, be cause we are crowding out the moral and spiritual forces of life. National character is as important as indi vidual character; the first cannot be without the second, and both are A rrvivM of tVU n-cml and spirtt :.'! . 1 t-re a reus! of our i'1 r I'mrp lt u-Vrve. a ressur r. i f C vi-tv.:i- thoughts and i.i.-h - in hs-r - :.v nh lliin laws, vn!l re-cue An: erica, and rescue the wor.d.

Uniericn Irfgion Weekly) It is trade that makes nations phy sically great. Trade means not only the selling of poods, but the trans portation of goods from source to market, whether is be the kitehen jrarderer carrying a basket of celery to the county seat or a steamer bear ing a load of beef from the Argentine to Italy. One positive good that was to come out of the war, we all believed at the time, was a real American merchant marine. "The growth, maintenance and prosperity of American shipping must be close to the heart of every patriotic American citizen," declared the late National Commander F. W. Galbraith, Jr. "The American Le gion subscribes heartily to the motto, 'Keep the Stars and Stripes on the seven seas.' " Six years' service aboard commerce carriers in all seven of those seas had given the Lpion's leader more than an aca demic interest in America's mari time supremacy. Just as land warfare is conditioned largely by the position of strategic railways (the armistice could not have come when it did had Germany held j anohter lateral line of communica tions beyond Sedan just as the pa cirie routes of land tragic become in wartime vttal instruments for the prosecution of hostilities, so at sea do the trade routes of the world be come the key to failure or defeat, and the peaceful cargo carriers ply ing those routes indispensable aux iliaries of the navy itself. Admiral Jellicoe has ranked the British navy and the British mer chant marine as units of equal strength in the defense of Britain. If Jellicoe is right, then the 5:5:3 ratio agreed on at the Washington conference becomes, giving the mer chant marines of Great Britain, America and Japan equal proportion ate value as defense units. 10 : 10 : 8. Suppose our own merchant marine disappears and Great Britain and Japan maintain theirs at strength; the ratio declines to 10 : 6 : 8, and America reverts to the status of a second-class naval power. Is there any danger of such a sit uation becoming a fact? It rapidly is becoming a fact The United States owns more than fourteen hundred ships, but it is able to operate only some three hundred of them, and most of the three hundred are in the hands of ' insolvent companies. Some authorities assert that no ship of American registry engaged in for eign trade today is returning a profit. The Government itself is dropping $100,000,000 a year in its shipping venture. The Fourth National Convention of the American Legion at New Orleans ent on record in favor of the ship subsidy bill because "it will auto matically increase the available per sonnel of the Navy, add materially to the efficiency and strength of the Navy, and at the same time be a great aid to all business throughout the United States." Our foreign trade affects the whole country vitally, the great agricultur al interior no less than the indus trialized seaboard. And the amount of our foreign trade is directly de pendent on the amount of our ship ping carried under the American flag. ocai fappamm Miss Odele Groshen, daughter of Mrs. Jack McCullough, returned on Saturday from Coquille, Oregon, where she has been spending the past few months visiting at the home of her sister, Mrs. E.
