Does this mean that we fl ia a spasm, of uncontrollable and a 'or war?s Not by any means. The ;JS'; ; nnV. entered into any contest selfish ends. We are seeking nei iherVmaHcst nor revenge, nor power. r,e onlv impulse governing our -con-euion With the war are those of hn-S-anity, and democracy and peace. The l purpose of tne present, struggle, s presented by the allied forces, is to b-ing about peace and democracy, and ymplness. "Blessed are the peacemakers-' has a real application to the pres ent situation, although the scene is "p of carnage. iluiNt is Our Peace, The age-long .ir between the wrong and the right; between the world and the church'; be- ieen the lav and'the gospel; between .,? flsii and the spirit this wax is mediated only by the presence ?and power of.

For centuries " the only spirit of mediation In the.con jest between individuals or groups, or -';asef. or nations, has been this .ideal presented through the teachers of Je In inward struggles with sin, Christ is our Fence. In outward strug gles with the larger enemies of the 'ieht, Christ is our Peace. We can with positiveness assert that in the outcome of the present war, Christ is our Peace. When the whble world shall apply the teachings of Jesus, and shall love Him. and live for Him, then, and then only, will permanent peace come. As the Christian believer is the teacher of the unbeliever, jso Christian America may be used of God to dem onstrate, the power of Christ in the whole world. The present responsibil ity of the nation is large in this direc tion. We dare not swerve from our course of following Christ. "We can do no less than declare Him to the world. As our country unselfishly pushes- for ward the war, the church must unsel fishly push forward the program of peace through Christ. "There can be no lasting peace until nations put Christian motive behind their political' acts. . - 1MMEASE AVAR. PLANT IS C03IPLETED RECORD TIME Dodge Brothers. at Detroit Give. .Gov ernment Plenty of Action. Detroit. Dec. -la-3hrels no. doubt in the minds of Detroit residents a'oout t he government's determination to respond promptly and energetically to Premier Lloyd-George's pleas for a "million but. and a mountain of arms." Although rnanv industries have munitions since the war began, the new rush started only recently.1 Gigantfc new structures are bein gput together with amazing speed to handle immense new contracts for the government. No shortage of materials handicaps these undertakings. Everything comes un der government priority order. - Probably the most prominent exam pie, both in magnitude and dispatch, is the immense new plant "which will hous the Dodge Brothers munitions industry. The day after a contract for millions of dollars worth of special re coil mechanism had been allotted to Dodge Brothers by the government, a force of hundreds of men, teams and nachinea was on the ground excavat ing and assembling 'materials. The ' ork since then has been pushed with Treat rapidity, the force of workmen f ing enlarged as fas;, as laborers and mechanics are available. '- Overnight acres of ground are transformed into broad level floors of concrete. Great masses of material are piling up on 3li sides in readiness for a Tmlldlng which will measure 578x818 feet. It is intended to' have the plant in operation next spring-, with thousands of wprk aea employed. The entire work is in charge of Dodge Brothers own con struction superintendents. Dodge Brothers' willingness to ac cept this contract was induced-by their realizatfon of the necessity for prompt and complete co-operation .with the government and not through any de side to engage in a business other than the manufacture of motor cars. As in the rase of their motor car industry, he Dodgo Brothers are their own ex ecutives and theirown directors. There -where no prolonged meetings, no de bate?. When the government asked them to take over the contracts, the work was ordered, and it is being done. Dodge Brothers are building the Plant entirely apart from their motor car factory. Neither will Interfere with the other. Kot only are Dodge Brothers now DON'T BE MISLED " 'imington Citizens Should Read and Heed This Advice. Kidney trouble is dangerous and of ten fatal.

The .latter is similar in almost ajl details to the Dodge Brothers commercial car on which deliveries began a few weeks ago. As a whole the automobile industry is eo-dperating with the government on a vaster scale than the public gen erally imagines, this' being but one ex ample of the energetic spirit which is enabling the country to' get to the front promptly with men and supplies. TAR HEEL S OLD JER. WRITES A LETTER FROM THE FRONT Sam Parker of Union Country Gives a Glimpse of Trench Experience. (Monroe Journal.) Mr. J. J. Parker received the follow ing letter from his brother, -Lieutenant Parker, who is with the American forces in France. "Yes, I am actually in the trenches not way back where one never hears a shot: but right on the front line. I jook over the parapet any time and see the Boche trenches: and I have seen several of the scoundrels themselves. Last night I actually set foot out in No Man's Land. ' "My period at the school is over. I will be here for a few days, then I will report to headquarters of a U. S. division. Then I don't know, where I will be sent. "It might interest you to know that I received one of the best reports from the school. I was recommended by the colonel at the school as an instruc tor for our army. I am the only one that ,1 know of that received such a report from the school which I attend ed. What effect the report will have with our army authorities I do not know. "You must pardon spelling, writing and' general errors in this letter, as I am writing under rather strenuous conditions. I am in a dugout, have just waked up. It is rather dark in here and I do not want to light a candle, for my friend, the officer with whom I am staying, has not awoke yet and I do not wish to disturb him. . We both were up all night last night, prepared to meet 'Fritz should he start any of his dirty work- No one can realize in America what life on the front really means no one can realize it until he has had actual experience. The horrors of the weather are as much to be dreaded as the big shells which come over singing 'Nearer My God to Thee.V I spent a while in ope of the reserve lines, some distance from the front, and back there we had very comfortable quarters, way down under the ground. On the front, of course, we live where we can get to a fire step easily. My gas respirator and my steel helmet are a fixed artlcla of my dress, and I . must say that I don't object one bit to carrying them with rae all the time. I did not know man was so much like an ostrich- hide hi3 head and he feels perfectly safe. Of course we do not attempt to change clothes In the trenches we never take them off even when we lie down to take a nap. In three days my shoes have not been off but three times, and then for only' long' enough for a good rubbing and a change of sox: Tomorrow I am due to leave the tranches and start on my journey, to headquarters of the ' American ; army. The brigadier general, of the brigade in "which I am now connected, has In vited me to lunch with him on my way back. I have met the general and he is . a very agreeable gentleman. 'I have recently seen several air fights. Last night one of our machines dropped bombs right across in front of my. post on- an enemy , strong point." ELECTRICITY IN THE- ANDES Highest TransniiMtion Line in The World Is Located at Peru. On the top of the Andes Mountains In -Peru the General Electric Company of Schenectady, N. Y., is building the highest electric power' line in jthe world.. Starting at Bella-Vista, at an elevation of 12,500 ft. it crosses the continental divide at an elevationqf 16,000 ft, near Ticilo, which is the highest railroad station in the world, On the west coast of Peru there are several rapid .streams, among them the Rio Rimac, which has its source near the top of the continental di vide, about 100 miles inland from Cal lao, where it empties into the Paci fic On its way to the ocean the Rio Rimac passes . through Casapalca, where the Backus & Johnston Com pany have a large copper smelter. Some years ago this company con structed a small hydro-electric plant of S00 kw. at a point a short distance above Cassapalca; and when, four years later, they decided to double the capacity of the smelter ana install copper converters ' (which of course meant more power, It was decided to develop water power at Bella-vista. five miles below Casapalca. In the wet season, or for nine months of the year, sufficient water is available to develop 2250 kw- but during the dry season (June to September) there is bnJy one-third of this amount. The dam was built of concrete and the intake made of two compartments so arranged that one of them, at a time can be shut off and cleaned without interfering with the operation of the system. This feature is very impor tant because of the fact that between 400 and 500 tons of slag is dumped into the river from the blast furnaces at Casapalco every -24 hours. The canal, which is about one mile in length, is cut In solid rock and is entirely open except for one tunnel 500 feet long at the intake end. The power house is located at Bella-Vista (meaning beautiful view), on the. Cen tral Railroad of Peru. Its dimensions are 100 ft. by 35 ft., and the equipment consists of three three-phase 60-cycle horizontal alternators, each rated 750 kw. The generators are airect-con-neoted to impulse waterwheels work ing under a head of 250 feet, and are fitted with direct connected exciters. The switchboard consists of two gen erators and two transformer panels. The transformers are of the thTee phase. water-cooled type, and are of the same capacity as the generators. They are operated in multiple and transform the voltage from 2000 to iO.000. , - ' The transmission line Is supported by 25,000-volt porcelain insulators mounted on iron pipe poles spaced 150 ft. apart. Most of the material for these lines, as well as that for the dam and canal, was carried by llama and rattles. The equipment of the substation at Casapalca consists of two 45-kw.. to 440-volt, are-cooled transformers, ana two 500-kw., 10.900- to 2000-volt water-cooled transformers. Adjoining the substation is the old power house, the equipment of which consist of two 150-kw., 440-volt. three-phase alterna tors belted to Pelton waterwheels working under a head of 150 ft. and arranged for parallel operation with the Bella-Vista plant. When sugar is craved, buy fruits in stead of candy, cream and soft drinks. It will be better for the body as well as being a patriotic act. v Give children fruit, fruit Juices, fruit breads and, fruit cookies, instead of candies and rich cakes.

The following criticism of "The Beauty Shop" which will be seen at the Academy of Music, matinee and night, was clipped from the Jackson ville Times-Union of November 3: "Last night at the Duval theater a good many Jacksonville-people ' made their first acquaintance with the war tax and it made a slight delay in ringing up the curtain for the Beauty Shnn but nobodv -made anv fuss about it, for we all must do our bit in the great war, and Uncle Sam needs money. When the curtain did ring up for the merry musical story which is called The Beauty Shop all minor inconveniences were forgotten, for it mas plain to be seen that the produc ers had given the entertainment a brand new setting of scenery -and cos tumes and had engaged a clever, and competent bunch of actors, dancers and singers to Interpret the tale.
