A DAILY DUTY.

Each day every American soldier in France is confronted by a great duty. Our army there has a great task to perform for our country, for the world, for civilization, and for humanity. Our soldiers are doing their duty with a courage and fidelity and efficiency that thrill every heart.

Each day every American citizen at home is confronted by a great duty, a duty as imperative upon him or her as the duty of our soldiers is upon them. The American people have a great task to perform. It is to support to the limit of their ability our army, our navy, our country at war.

To work with increased energy and efficiency so that our national production may be increased; to economize in consumption so that more material and labor and transportation may be left free for the uses of the government; and with the resultant savings to support the government financially is the daily duty of every American. It is a duty that will be met by every American whose heart is with our soldiers in France, who glorifies in their courage and fighting ability and their success.

Presbyterian.

H.C. Hartranft, pastor. Sunday morning bids fair to be one of the most interesting services that we have had for a long time. The eleventh chapter of Daniel, where many wars and much history are prophesied, will be under discussion. This Biblical lecture will be of special interest to students of history. The service will be at 11 a. m. “The Third Trumpet Woe,” as described in the Book of Revelation, will be the subject of the evening sermon. These prophetical lectures have been very well attended, and the interest has become intense. The pastor has had many office calls during the week from persons who have had questions to ask about these subjects. You may come with your questions also. This service will be at 8 p. m.

Christian Science.

Services in Sather’s hall, Sunday, 11 a.m. Subject, “Man.”

“LICK THE HUN” IS HIS CHANT

The commanding officer of a famous R. A. F. fighting squadron in France with their mascot, a parrot, which finds a very comfortable perch on a propeller blade, are show in this British official photograph. Besides having a smattering of the “polly-vous” language, the parrot is particularly vigorous in its denunciation of the Huns in virile English.

CONSTRUCTION OF A GREAT MATERIAL RESERVE NOW UNDER WAY TO PAVE WAY FOR LAST-ING PEACE BETWEEN NATIONS

_

By Robert J. Bender

(United Press Staff Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. — Construction of a great raw materials reserve by the allied nations is now under way to pave the way for a just and lasting peace.

Kaiser Wilhelm recently declared that the great crisis in the west depended upon which side mustered most quickly and adequately its reserves — but he didn’t figure on raw materials.

When the war is over, the side with the reserves — gold, food, coal, iron, steel, cotton, wool and clothing — will be the power to determine the peace and happiness of the world, officials here declare.

Plan International Board.

The United States government is now taking steps to acquire that reserve. Raw materials may be pooled after the war, as now, to insure against another outbreak of Hohenzollernism, if the great war fails to drive that blood monarch from the throne.

An international priorities board will determine what nations shall receive first benefits of these raw materials. It will take care that the weak and helpless country first is allowed to revive its strength, that it may not be suddenly overwhelmed while convalescent by a nation whose military strength has survived the war and whose greed for expansion has not been tempered.

The foundation for this board could be the international organization already developing to direct distribution of pooled allied war supplies for fighting forces. The outcome of the war will determine whether Germany is a party to the board.

Finance Board, Too.

There is a movement afoot to establish an international reserve board to maintain financial stability through the period of reaction that inevitably will follow the war. This organization would operate to maintain a balance of gold among nations after the war, even as the federal reserve board now maintains a balance of credit and currency in the United States.

Through these two great international instrumentalities as much as through an armed league of nations, trade treaties could be maintained openly, secret pacts could not well survive, and no nation could hoard war supplies and build up a predominating militarism without full knowledge and restraint of its sister nations. Many authorities believe peace would be rendered absolutely lasting through maintenance of this machinery.
