HONORED BY ALL I Praise Accorded American Soldiers !s Universal. To Their Bravery and Chivalry on the Field of Battle Has Been Added Fine Generosity to an Unscrupulous Enemy. -Let another man praise thee and not thine own mouth; a stranger and not thine own lips." says an ancient proverb; which is easier to obey than it has beeiu sometimes, for the air is resonant wi?h adulation for this country and its people?praises t'or its benevolence, energy, idealism, army and j navy. j we nave exuirea tn rn^ prui.M? ??*-- : stowed upon the boys in khaki for their j chivalry toward women, .their grentle- ! ness to little children, their high mo- ! rale amid great temptations, and : their courage in battle. But these vlr- j tues were all exhibited to friends and silies. Now comes, however, a testimony to their behavior toward their enemies, which ought, we think, to give us even a' deeper joy. "Especial praise." says a dispatch Tfrom Amsterdam, "was given the -Anericau troops of occupation by a renresentative of the Berlin foreign J ministry on his return from Treves. j "The judgment of all Germans, such j as shopkeepers, hotel keepers and men J on the street, is that the behavior of the Americans is blameless." "Blameless !H "Sans peur et sans re- ! proche!" j We pity the man or womah who can ' read that testimony without .choking , "up a little bit. One ought not to for- j *et that these young Americans are among a people whom they have I learned to hate. If there has been one , thing above all others upon which the.v | wjiversally agreed, it was loathing and horror for German frightfulness. In all ! their letters home they wrote of their Irrepressible dread that the war might | "be stopped in some way before they j liad taken vengeance opon the Huns for I heir bestial conduct toward wounded men and helpless women and ^ children. | And now they are moving across the country of their hated foes as conqueA ors! On every highway and at every street corner tney see me men wuu have perpetrated these nameless horrors. Those men are at their mercy. And yet, upon the testimony of these brutes themselves, "their behavior is Wameless." * ' # I We read that they march through these German cities grim and silent: their faces white and their jaws set; looking neither to the right hand nor * " ** * - ' * -? to the lert; seir-coma mru au<i wicontrolled.

What a miracle is such young man-' hood! How strange^ its contemplation moves the hearts. What pride we take in thinking that these blameless youths belong to us! They are our oys?yours and mine!

The world war has brought 1?? the fore striking illustrations of the truth of Iiible doctrines as usually interpreted by what is called the old theology. Glance for a moment at some of the I old Iiible truths that the war has illus! trated and vindicated. Take, for example, the fall of man as recounted in Genesis. Some have had difficulty with this fundamental doctrine of the Bible. I was talking a short time ago with a brilliant young college man, steeped in the scientific ! skepticism of the age, and he said: ! "I>ut, doctor, think how irrational is the theory that man fell in a garden, just created by an all-wise and allpowerful Cod!" I replied by pointing out the very intflpntfHnir that mr?rh?rn Oprrriiinv also fell in a garden. There was not a country upon the earth more blest and prosperous than Germany. Her progress in all lines, except morals and spirituality, had been marvelous. If she had remained true to right ideals she would have gone on undoubtedly into the leadership of the whole earth. But even in that garden of prosperity and peace the devil of selfishness, untruth and false ambition entered, and the ruling classes fell. and. like the fall in Eden, carried others down with them.?Dr. John Roach Straton in Christian Herald.

The idea was ridiculous, but let those laugh who have never thought of something that seemed sensible in the evening and absurd next morning. i " | Measuring Earth's Temperature. ! A nove) but simple method of raeas: uring earth temperature has been successfully tried at a depth of 5,302 feet, I that of the bottom of the bore-hole of St. Jean d'Herans, the deepest in | France. Two exactly similar centigrade thermometers were cut off at 40 decrees, and comnared with a third thermometer to show that the indications were not affected. The shortened i instruments were fixed in opposite positions?one inverted aod the other erect?In a simple sheath. Lowered into the hole; they were then kept one hour at the bottom to acquire the rock temperature, and as this was above 40 degrees, some of the mercury was forced from the tubes. Oa being withdrawn, the tubes were gradually heated in a water-bath until the mercury just filled them, which the standard thermometer showed was at 62.5 degrees in each. The surface tempera ture being 12.5 degrees, the earth increase was one degree for each 106 feet of depth. 1 i i i i Aluminum Coins. Africa has adopted the aluminum I coin. Nearly 32,000,000 coins of that metal have been struck from the British mint for circulation in Uganda and J the Nigerian protectorates. Each coin j bears the value either of 1 cent or of 2 mills. They are perforated in the center like Chinese coins, in order that the j natives may string them together. Bronze coins are in wide circulation on the west coast of Africa. In the interior small shells known as cowries are used as fractional currency. It is to replace the cowries fVia now* nrti no hflVO hppn Stfriir'k. I mat Liiv aiv wii.1^ * v w??.

Mme. d'Evry attended the general meeting of the mayors of the army zone held in Paris recently. She had a moving tale to tell of a village completely destroyed by the Germans, and of a population, or what is left of it, living in the cellars or in the ruins capable of affording some kind of shelter. Mme. d'Evry, in simple, eloquent language, did full Justice to her theme. Thoughtless Reconstruction. Senator Watson, the head of the committee on reconstruction, said in an interview: "Hasty reconstruction is apt to be thoughtless and bad. It is like the young drug salesman. "A lady approached this young salesman, reddened and said: "'My hair is falling out. Can you give me anything for it?' "'You bet! Sure!' said the salesman, heartily.
