Christian civilization isappalted and stunned by the awful
carnage on European battlefields. The ultimate outcome predicates
tremendious possibilities. The only salutary feature of the chaos
of nations is that the Turkish empire may be destroyed at the close.
That far eastern land is a seething volcano of religous fanaticism
bigotry race hatred cruel and vicious wrongs the ancient and
historic contention of the crescent against the cross.

While contending armies of be
nighted and vaunted Christians are at
each others throats at the behest of
imnerial .imbition the crafty and mys-
tic oriental is embracing the opoor-
tunity to abrogate time-honored
treaties. But it is honed that the
time will never come when the rulers
of Islam may invoke a holy war in-
stigatin- a life and death struggle be-
tween Mohammedan and Christian.
The efforts to involve Turkey in tho
European war have been noted with
interest by this writer and especially
the arrival of the East Indian rein-
forcements to assist the allies. It re-
calls the great uprising and Sepoy re?
bellion in the East Indian portion of
the British empire manv years ago.
A relative of the writer was a partici-
pant in many v historic and stirring
scenes in that far off time and distant
land. '
An uncle of the Enquirer man Peter
OHanlon a brother of our mother
was an officer of the British army in
the Eighty-seventh Royal Irish and
he fought and bled on many a bloody
battlefield on Indias burning sands.
The writer was a babe when our va-
liant and honored uncle returned wi)H
his regiment from East India service
but in later years of our esrly youth
we often heard from the lips of our
dear mother many stories he told of
fearful encounters and experience
with Mohammedan fanatics the long
weary marches and relentless slaugh-
ter of British soldiery in mountain
passes veritable death traps. It is
the remembrance of such incidents
which ca tse us to realize to the fullest
extent the awful scenes being enacted
in Belgium Austria France andGer-
many and also of the terrible conse-
quences that would follow should the
banner of Islam be unfurled to the
breeze for an unholy war from the
Bosphorus to the Ganges and also
along the Nile where once sailed An-
tony and Cleopatra.
It may not be out of nlacr to state
here that our beloved uncle whose
mother was a McMahon a family that
gave a marshal to France after he
returned from India was stationed at
Windsor Castle as an officer of the Christian city remains desecrated.
guard. During his term of duty at
the royal palace the writers "srents
had occasion to travel from Dublin to
London. Our mother was authority
for the statement that when a babe
this writer slumbered Upon a royal
couch amidst rega surroundings dur-
ing their visit at Windsor. That story
did not influence this writer nor deter
us from Ucomiflg a rebel patriot and
trusted in rebel councils in Dublin and
an international delegate and fund
trustee at New York while in our
teens.
Our uncle made a splendid reputa
tipn and lecord while serving in the
army of Victoria. After he retired
from military service he returned to
Dublin birthplace of this writer and
by tfie.way it was in the same build-
ing note as the birthplace of Tom
Moore the poet that this writer first
saw the light of day. Our uncle even
after his retirement to private life
w$3 further honored by representa-
tives of his royal mistress. The ink
on the papers relieving him ffom mili-
tary service had scarcely dried when
he was appointed suner nteiulent of
the East India docks and stores one
of the most responsible and impor-
tant positions under the crown in
London which office he held for many
years until death ended his useful and
splendid career.
Our mother and uncle had a brother
nmed Frank wno was at one time
professor of Greek in Oxford univer-
sity and when last we heard of him
he was a minister of the Episcopal
faith in charge of a pastorate some-
where in Cornwall. Of our father we
have little to sav but that he was a
fine Christian gentleman a jeweler by
profession and a cousin of Englands
famous general Sir Garnet Woolsey.
M We had no thought nor intention
when we started to write this
of giving a family sketch but well let
it go at that and hope nagan Turkey
will make some misstep and get wiped
off the map. For a while the Balkan
allies had the unspeakable Turk
pinned to the wall but unforeseen
manipulations robbed them of the
fruits of victory and the ancient
BEN FRANKLIN
who used to run a newspaper down .East
years ago also edited an almanac which
contained some wise sayings. Here is
one of them:
The way to wealth if you desire It
is as plain as the way to market It dc-
pends chiefly on two words industry and
frugality. He that gets all he can honestly
and saves all he gets (necessary expenses
excepted) will certainly become rich
What Ben said was not only true at
that time but it still holds good at the
present day. There is no better way to
save than to have a bank account you
are not tempted to spend it. We will be
glad to have you start an account at this

PATRIOTISM.
THE PRINTERS STANDPOINT.
Some merchant tet the printer he
should make war on the mail order
houses and keep trade at home for the
good of the community. Thats exact-
ly what we believe in keeping trade
end money at home says the Guern-
Fcy (Neb.) Gazette. But the person
who sends to a mail order house for
an order of goods is no more guilty
of treason than is the person who
sends away for his printing snd espe-
cially when he could get what he
wants right at home and at a price
which is just as low in the end as the
price of the mail order or outsid"
printing houses. If a man buys his
printing at home the printer ap re-
ciates hs trade; if he buys it in some
large city by mail the printer there
and home has no thanks to bestow
upon the purchaser for the business
he has given out. If he had bought
the printing from the home printer
that safe printer would have a thank
you to hand to the customer. The
money paid for the home printing
would be spent by the home printer
to support his family and improve his
business and the man who bought the
printing would probably get his share
of it. There is certainly a moral of
trading. at home even for buyers of
printed goods.
Our nation will be either a sover-
eign republic or a vassal dependency
as sure as the sun rises and sets. . But
it wiY take men of the spirit of 1774
to preserve the national integrity. If
only a few rally to the flag the na-
tion will suffer as Goldsmith said :
III fares the land to many ills a prey
Where wealth accumulate and men
Some 1o'ks appear to think a nation
can be prcseived by wind and hot air.
They do rot appear to appreciate the
spirit of 1776 or 1861.

A she stood before the desk in the
Red Cross room I felt the gladness of
youth run through my veins. Her
whole being radiated gladn- and joy-
ful life.
Yet a tiny glint of sadness uiv
ered about her mouth as she spoke.
She was from the country one of
Cooke countys girls. She wanted to
join the Red Cross; wanted to sub-
scribe fo. the 'd Cross Magazine and
to give $3 on the war fund.
When we asked if thi was not too
much she told us her story.
When' father and mother had died
they left a good farm but she and
John must care for the children. John
was but 16 but he had managed
evsrythfag and they were comfortable.
Now John Was a man and he was j
going to fight for his country. He had
joined the arm.
No she did not think it wrong for
him to go for he had trained Thomas
and James to run the farm and they
were glad for John to go.
And we are so proud of John she

Question Aked of German News-
paper by Security League.
Seme narrow-minded gimlet-heads
so one-sided that if an editor
preacher or politician offers or sug
gests a contrary opinion
undying Vnmity.
It is plain enough how we were
forced into the war . The extraordi-
nary insults and aggressions of the
imperial German government left ms
no self-respecting choice but to tabs
up arms in defense of our rights as a
free people and of our honor as a
sovereign government. The military
masters of Germany denivd us the
right to be neutral. They filled ojr
unsuspecting communities with vicious
spies and conspirators and sought to
corrupt the opinion of our people in
their own behalf. . . . Mttch as
we had desired peace it was denied
us and not of our own choice. This
flag under which we serve would have
been dishonored had we withheld our
hapd. Voodrow Wilson.

The Security league ha sent a let-
ter to the editors of the some 450 German-American
newspapers of the
country suggesting a statement of
their position.
The ed;tors of the Cerman-Ameri-can
newspapers are asked to subscribe
to the following confession of faith:
First I believe that the objects of
America in thi war are noble unself-
ish and that they square with the
highest aims of morality and religion.
Second I believe that the aims of
Germany in this war are sordid self-
ish and opposed to the principles of
human liberty.
Third I believe that the state-
ments of the German monarch and of
hi prime ministers as to German aims
and purposes- la . the .war hnv jtteen
false and hypocrtical.
Fourth I believe that the method
sanctioned by the German govern-
ment and rulers in this war are bru-
tal barbarous and revolting to civi-
lized thought.
Fifth I believe that the preserva-
tion of human liberties and the Ideal
of civilisation and morality depend
upon our victory in this war. -Sixth
I believe w cannot win this
war alone and that our own future
and all that' we strive for are insep-
arably bound up with the success of'
our allies.
Seventh I believe that the peace of
the world cannot rest on any contract
made wih perjurors and that our own
preservation and the accomplishment
of our objects in the war require the
permanent effacement of tho present
German dynasty and radical chan geo
in the present system of German gov-
ernment. '
Eighth I believe that the war must
continue mtil this result is achieved
by military victory for oursolvoo and
allies or by revolution within the Ger-
man natkn.
Ninth I believe that there can be
no qualified allegiance to the United
States and the principles for which it
is struggling. Those who do not sup-
port the war whoe-heartodly cannot
claim to he wholly loyaL
