- - This paper has enlisted
with the government in the
cause of America for the
period of the war
-Little David slew the Giant Go
liath, and now an Italian motorboat,
manned by a crew of ten men,
sinks a large Austrian dreadnaught.
The day of miracles is not past.
The kaiser may appear to be
enpoying good health, as a cable
gram says, but it doesn't need much
of a doctor to diagnose the present
condition of his heart. All marble!
The kaiser now knows what
any hobo could have told him at the
start -that in trying to beat his way
to Paris he would be throAvn off the
freight at every station.
President Wilson is saying so
many nice things about woman suf
frage these days that the militants
no longer linger around to even
look at the White House sheep.
The Allies are now using a
more effective gas than the Ger
mans, and if the kaiser insists on
making reprisals necessary he will
soon learn that we can improve on
all other Hun inventions.
President Wilson's opposition
to the prohibition rider on the ag
ricultural appropriation bill has dis
posed of that matter, as every rid
er on an appropriation bill, no mat
ter what its character, deserves to
be disposed of.
The War Department has com
pleted the erection of four great
ordnance plants where shells are to
be filled with high explosives, and
announces that at the outset twen-ty-five
per cent, of the employes
will be women, this per centage to
be increased eventually to sixty per
cent.
In the endorsement of Henry
Ford for the United States. Senate
the Democrats of Michigan have
shown a fine aptitude for mechan
ics, even though their subtle gen
ius may be disconcerting to some
aspiring Jeffersonian disciples of
that State.
Chancellor Brown, of New
York University, spoke not softly
when he declared that American
colleges are too soft. "We have
been too soft in our college life,"
he said. "Let us make our uni
versity a place intolerable for men
who have in them the spirit of
slackers. I believe the severer our
requirements are made, so long as
they are real requirements, so much
more likely shall we be to give to
our country the men she expects of
us to meet her present needs."
KILL THE HUMOR.
"They Say."
"I Heard."
"Some one Said."
Those who repeat any rumor
which may lessen the confidence of
the American people in our Govern
ment, or in the certainty of absolute
victory, are working for the kaiser,
whether they realize it or. not.
Ask the "I Hear" and "They Say"
folks for facts and proofs never
pass it on.
Patriots will make enemy propa-
failure by refusing to re
Kill a Rumor.

The Weekly Ambon Of St. Stephen's Parish
WOURTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
In these days of trouble we are interested in special Days 0f
Prayer, and in Prayer itself. I quote from the Story of a Gr
of Wheat by William C. Edgar, Editor of Northwestern Mille-1
Page 23. The book is published in the Library of Valuable
Knowledge. "During an outbreak of grasshoppers in Minnesot
in 1877 the Governor the State appointed Apirl 26th as a Da
of Prayer, and urged the people "in the shadow of the locust r lV
gue, whose impending renewal threatens desolation of the land"
to "humbly invoke, for the efforts we make in our defence, the
guidance of that hand which alone is adequate to stay the pesti
. lence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth
at noon-day."
The proclamation caused much comment and some adverse
criticism, but the Day was generally observed in public and fer
vent prayer to God for help and succor against the threatened des
olation, of the State. - See next week's Ambon.
