Russians who remained behind to make sure that the "scorched earth" policy was effectively carried out blew up the oil wells at Krasnodar, even after the Germans had moved In. This photo, which reached here via London, came from an enemy source. What Some Real Christians Did After World War I This is from Ehe American Friends Committee, Quakers: We took large bands of youth to France in 1917 and re-built the villages in the MarneValley which had been destroy-ed in the Battle of the Marne, and there we rehabilitated the wrecked families.- We stayed after the war was over and re-built the villages of the Verdun District. We brought cows into Vienna to get milk for the children. We brought in coal for the hospitals and helped life to start afresh in that desol-ated city of two millions people. We fed the German children whom the blockade had starved, more than a million of them, and we carried the feeding on for four years. We" helped the Serbians rebuild their destroyed homes. We helped the Polish peasants plow their abandoned fields, and we stayed with them and fought the typhus epidemic. We carried food to Russia in their great famine, and we remained after the famine was over to organize clinics for their children. Poetry that Lifts and Saves Just as we had read and clipped a poem, two lines of which are, Where are our poets, keepers of our glory. Where are the prophets who can tell our story? we went to the radio and heard actor Muni read Edna St. Vin-- . ent Milay s great poem, "The Murder of Lidicie," and then we fully realized that the nation has the poet and the lay pro- -' f phet, who has spoken most beautifuly and eloquently and pow-erfully against the crime of the ages, which should shame the cowards who dard not speak. And then we read another great poem, which ehould appeal to those who wonder where God is and why He does not act. We gi 7e but a few selected lines. "What is thy will for the people, God? When wilt thou come to save the earth?" And the Lord God whispered and snid to me: ' No help shall come from the scarlet skies Till the people rise! Till the people rise My arm arm is weak; I cannot speak till the people speak; WThen men are dumb My voice is dumb I cannot come till my people come, r When I dreamed the dream of Liberty '" I planned a people to utter Me. f Tip they, not I, who have forgot, i And war is drinking the living lot. If the people rise, if the people rise, 3 I will answer them from the swarming skies, They are my mouth, my breath, my soul, I wait their summons to make me whole. When they dare to rise, , Yes, all my people, everywhere. Not till their spirit break the curse rij Can I claim my own in the universe." m m First DSM for Heroic Merchant Marine - r . . - ft 'I ' v y , - I Ll'lk - ......IA-j-- , j The first award of a Merchant Marine Distinguished Service medal was made to Edwin F.

And u millions upon millions going without. Some system. Insanity. READERS OPINIONS (Good to have some one show up that man Pegler Sok-olsk- y should also be shown up, and the papers that nse them.) The news articles written by ourgreat commentator, West-broo- k Pegler, are interesting and reveal facts which, if true, should be corrected. The question is, should our government step in and rid organized labor of its racketeers, as Mr. Pegler suggests. If so, wh? not dothesame thing with our great corporations and holding companies. If such were dene I am sure Mr. Pegler would be the first one to cry out that the government is meddling with private industry and individual initiative and should keep its hands off. It is evident from his articles that he is partizanly preju-diced against-everythin- g "New Deal", accusing it of-- being re group of inefficient communists and little short of a gang of racketeers, in collaboral iou with those he claims are ruling the labor unions. It is unfortunate for the common man in the United States that we bavn't a Westbrook Pegler to reveal the activities of some of our great industialists. In connect-ion with their "labor spy rackets" and the activities of some of our o 1 companies in getting posaession of some of our oil lands in Mexico. Why not look into the activities of these ' economic roy-alists" and give the labor unions and the New Deal a rest? I am sure if Mr. Pegler were to go to the records and learn that our corporations are, many of ttiem at least, as bad if not worse gangsters than any labor leader in existence today-- Yes or anyone going unchanged he would not be so critical of those better. Boyd Dennett. St George "The love of money is the root of all evil" is just as true today as it ever was. Capitalism and poveity came in on the same train, one riding in the palace car, the other on the break-bea- Thpy stock the earth hand-in-han- d; one cannot exist without the other; destroy one and the other is dead. Capi-talism, the "love of money" is the root cause of all wars, pov-erty, and all the evils that, go with them. Sylvester Earl .. s- ...

The guards learn not only how to repel the invader, but also how to attack. They are shown scaling walls on "French Street" by means of the toggle rope, a stout piece of rope fixed with a loop on one end and a short stick on the other. No!

While I am for all the positive good to be found in every well-mea- nt effoit and organization, I cannot go the whole way with that part which I believe is not just rfght and does not square with truth as I understand it. Editor Francis L. Lund, brother, of Boise, Idaho, called at the of-fice the other day, looking well' and feeling fine. He is one of the top salesman for a national drug concern and doing well. He had with him his son Fran-cis Jr. student at the Univer-"sit- y, wiro-i- s likely-t- o be called' to war soon. He underwent an examination for the air ser-vice and may get in. He would study law if he continue at school. Mr. Lund reports that! his married daughter,Mrs. Lot-tie McKay and husband are very well and very happy in Washington, D. C. Mrs. 0. car (Mary) Christen-se- n of Ephraim has just conclu-ded a visit with her son who teaches school in Logan. She also visited sisters in Sandy and Salt Lake and had what was near to a family reunion at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L Lund. Earl Jackman of the Gaddis nvestment Co., is doing a very geod job in the State Defense Setup He is appraising Real-ty values and searching the hotels, rooming houses, etc., in the st te to find out how many rooms and living quarters are available. Friend and Neighbor Mrs Maud Fullmer is a very devout reader of the paper. She had about a hundred copies lai away and when she clipped the articl s the liked best she had a big scrop book full. The pap er to her as it is to many. But where the images of gold are its light is a little dim. Mrs Fullmer once attended the U.of U and has taught school. I.

The issue is not saving the "Old Order1' but rather of determining what the "New Order" shall be. l Worlds leaders everywhere are zealously striving to make r- the world over, and all of them are either totally ignorant of, ft or else completely ignore, the only program which can save H mankind from a return to the ' Dark Ages, ' namely, "THE ' ORDER OF THE LORD." The complete plans and specifications for this "New Or der" are found in the Holy Scriptures; and with world leaders and statesmen bankrupt of idtas, except a return to the old Assyrian syrtem of dictatorship and regimentation, it is high time that we turn to the "sure word of prophecy" for light to and guidance. Interpreter, if Merits of Cooperation Cooperation stands for drawing all men into a Cooperative Commenwealth by uniting all who care to join it in a volun-tary common effort and leaving everyone else to go his own way. H stands over aginst the laissez-fair- e Capitalism by competing successfully with it. It stands over against all pressure groups itself. It asks no special laws to protect it; it is not, interested in politics, it has no blocks :n legislatures anywhere. It will deal with anyone an d asks no odds in so doing. It is democratic in theory and in practice and knows how to use the expert something that political democracy has yet to learn. When the present war broke it was in every civilized country in the world and .numbered a hundred mil-lions of adherents. It is he democracy of which we are all talking, of course it is crushed out in all the conquered countries Gen. Mac Arthur Addresses U. S.

HANSEN, PROVO, Professor McKinney, of Hunter College, New York, has given some very interesting figures pertaining to the present church affiliations of our congressmen. In the Senate 11 per cent are Catholic 77 per cent Protestants. In the lower House 20 per cent are Catholic, 7o per cent Protestants. There are twice as many Methodists as Catholicsenators. In the House the Methodists are out numbered by Catholics, 86 to 72. Tak-ing the house and Sonate together there are 380 Protestants and 97 Catholics. The religion of 30 members was not secured by the compiler. Seven Jews, four Mormons, two Christian Scientist and eight of no religious affiliation complete the tally. |
