Of course we thought about You now and then,, Especially in any time of trouble, We knew that You were good in time of trouble, But we are very ordinary men. And there were always other things to think of; There's lots of things a man has got to think of - His work, his home, his pleasure, and his 'wife; And so we only thought of You on Sunday, Sometimes, perhaps, not even on a Sunday, Because there's always lots to fill one's life. And -all the while, in' street or lane or byway, In country lane, in city street or byway, You walked among us and we did not see. Your feet were bleeding as You walked our pavements. How did we miss Your footprints on our pavements? Can there be other folk as blind as 'we?. Now we remember over here in Flanders (It isn't strange to think of You In Flanders); This hideous warfare seems to make things clear. We never thought about You much in England, But now that we are far away from England We have no doubts, we know that Youare here. Yeti helped us p. es the jest along the trenches, Where in cold; blood we waited in the trenches You touched its ribaldry and made it Ane. You stood beside us in our pain and weakness, We're glad to think You understand our }weakness, Somehow it seems to help us not to whine. We think about You kneeling in, the garden, Ah, dodl the,egony of that dread garden; We know You prayed for us upon the cross; If anything could make us glad to bear it, 'Twould be the knowledge that You willed to bear it, Pain—death-the uttermost of human loss. Though we forgot You, You will not _forget us; We feel so sure that You will not forget us, But stay with us until this dream is past; And so we ask for courage, strength, and pardon, Especially, I think, we ask for pardon, And that You'll stand beside us to the last. —London Spectator. 1 GREAT BRITAIN' IS A VAST ARSENAL THERE ARE 4,000 CONTROLLED MUNITION PLANTS.

Much /depends upon the outcome of the "great drive" now in progress' on the various war fronts, not only as concerns the Gorman military force, but in the political' Affairs of Ger- many. It is difficult for any people at war to cope with politics and the ambi- tions of the diplomatic force; and we find that Grmany is now divided in her foreign; policies. If reports are true that escape the German censors, there le formed in that country an alliance between Lib- erals, Socialists and Catholics for the first time in history These are sup- porting Chenceiler hollweg hi his opposition to the submarine naval policy, formerly pursued by 'Admiral von Tirpitz, backed by Conservatives Agrarian , element which demands that aggressive submarine warfare to be Germany's only hope to win. Of course, .this policywould annul the Teuton promise to the. United States and would doubtless embroil the, re- public in the European conflict, "But what is that to a nation that can dis- regard treaties when they stand in the way of whist she considers her military necessities? As tineexcuse for this policy of pir- acy it is urged that Germany made the promise to the U. S. to cease this barbarous form of warfare only upon the condition that the U. S. should exact the recognition of in- ternational law and rights' of Great Britain on the seas, which it is claim- ed has not been done. The leader of the Conservative - Agrarian element is former Admiral von Tirpitz, who resigned his posi- tion when forced by Hollweg to sub- mit to the American demand. The strenuousness of the situation has forced Hollweg to organize a publicity campaign in which he is to go through the principal cities of Germany personally and explain his policy. It ie claimed that this has been made necessary especially since the defeat of the German navy in the North Sea battle—the truth of which is just becoming known to the people. The Chancellor's attitude towards peace and ,its essentials will be fully explained , o the people in this whirl- wind spedch-maki-ng campaign. Of course, he expects Germany to win, or at least he will pretend to believe it, for any other attitude would menace his office as Chancel- lor, 'tvhich'is the next highest official position to that of the Kaiser. • But he is opposed to any notion of territorial aggrandizement at the expense of either France, Belgium or Russia; and the strangest thing about his policy is that he is desirous of retaining British friendship after the war. He is antagonistic to any proposal that would interfere with such an understanding with Great Britain, for ho has in view a fraternal combina- tion or working agreement between Germany, Britain and the United States, and this is why he has work- ed so persistently to avoid •a break with Washington. We all recognize his position, of Chancellor as one of supreme im- portance, carrying with it responsi- bility for esponsi-bility"for imperial acts and policies to a large extent,' and it has been sur- mizbd that possibly the Kaiser him- self is back of the course he is pur suing, Ills prerogatives are so far reach- ing that a .change In the Chancellor at this time would be interpreted by the German people as .a rebuff to the Kaiser, and might involve radical changes' not only in the foreign office, but in every department of adminis- tration of internal affairs, so that any new incumbent of the office would mean opposition to the wishes of the Kaiser himself. If the allies should • continue to win, as they have since "the drive" began, the Chancellor may find it hard to make any impression favor able to his policies, upon the German people,. and a crisis is liable to be precipitated in Germany similar to that which France witnessed in 1871. The Entente powers are watching events with keen interest, and stand to gain in any event. Denver, July 31st, 1916. BY WAY OF ILLUSTRATION. Defendant Shows How He Pushed Complainant. It happened in the court room dur- ing the trial of a husky young man who was charged with assault and battery. Ttlronghout an especially severe cross-e::amination the defendant stoutly maintained that he• had mere- ly peelied the plaintiff "a little bit." "Well, about how hard?" queried the prosecutor. "Oh, 'just a little bit,'" responded the defendant' - "Now," said 'the attorney, "for the benefit of the Judge and the jury, you course of a speech recently delivered by Is. Kellaway, Parliamentary secre- tary to Dr. Addison (Parliamentary Secretary to the. Ministry of Muni. tions), Mr. Kellaway said the most prominent fact of the war was that the price of victory was unlimited muni- tions, unitions, says a London correspondent. "The British army in the early days," he said, "was so out+munitioned that the British soldier ought to have been beaten before the fighting began. But he proved' that he was a better fighting man than the German. What he lack- ed in munitions he made up In devil, in initiative, and in endurance. "I do not think anything that Ger- many has ever done equals the work this country has accomplished in the way of industrial organization during the last twelve months. Great Britain!, which has throughout been the treas. my of the Allies, has now become their armoris, There are now scattered up and down the country some 4,000 con- trolled firers producing munitions of war. "The vast majority of these previous to the war never produced a gun, a shell or a cartridge • yet in ten months the Ministry of Munitions has obtained from these firms a number of shells greater than the total produc- tion of all the Government arsenals and great armament shops in existence at the commencement of the war, Increase dF Arsenals. "Speakingan.,the house of Commons last year Mr. Lloyd George startled the country by saying that eleven new ar- senals had been provided, To -day, not eleven, but ninety arsenals have been built or adapted. Our weekly output of .303 cartridge is greater by millions than our annual output before the war. There is a certain machine gun being produced by the hundred every week in a factory ordered, planned and b It during the past twelve months. Th output of guns and howitzers has ih- creased by several hundred per cent. "We are not yet at the frill flood of our output of guns and shell. If the Germans cannot be driven home other- wise, our army will have such a sup- ply of guns that the limbers will touch each other ina continuous line from the Somme to the sea. France, Rus -1 � sin and Italy have been supplied by or through Great Britain with many of the most important munitions of war. Many thousands of tone of .steel have been and are being sent to France. "Our Contribution toward the equip- ment of the Belgian array has been continuous, and the Serbian army has been reequipped• and restored to a magnifieient fighting force very largely by the workshops and workers of the United Kingdomn. "The labor situation has been to a considerable extent saved by our wo- men. There were 184,000 women en gaged in war industries in 1914. To- day there are 643,000, The total num- ber of war workers in 1914 was 1,198,- 000. it has now increased to 8,500,000. There aro 471 different munition Mo- uses upon which women are now en- gaged. The women of Prance are do- ing wonders in munition making, batt our women•,ntunition workers beat the world," Work of the Scientists. Referring to glass Mr. Kellaway said : "The problem facing the Govern- went is, first, to discover the forn'lula of glasses, and having discovered it,"to establish the industry. It is fortunate that in this crisis we have available a few scientific men who have been - working for years `almost without re- -cognition, and we have also institu- tions suchas the ISnperial College at South Kensington and the Na:.ona1 Physical Laboratory at Toddington. The Government went to these men and asked them to discover the feaml- ula used by the Germans in their pro- duction of optical and ,chemical glass. "These British seientisis, after a few weeks' experiments, disco :eyed many of the formulae, and it '].sn became possible to , begin manufacture en. a commercial scale. The result was that within a year after the outbreak of the war the anima of optical glass in this country was multiplied icer and nt half tines, It has now increased to four'• teen times the output Previous to the war, and there is good ground for say • inn that by the end of the year it will ' have Multiplied twenty -told. "The Ministry of Munitions has, befit 03' is building, housing aeconamoda- tions for 60,000 persons, and canteens and Alcon rooms 1r1 munition- works! now provide decent accommodation, W1101.0 500,000 workers take their ideals every day, "For a long time our antiaircraft gunners have, been crying out for an. improved Ileiiiht finder for Zeppelins, the existing height finders being slow, clumsy and having a margin of error of huluh'6as of feet. Yoe will realize how that bansilaappecl our panniers in their attempt to bring down Zeppelins. "Throe men set to work on the piob ' SUEZ EXPEDITION A TURK DISASTER GERMANS DID NOTHING HELP TIIEIR ALLIES. TO Ottoman Troops. Mostly in Rags and Nearly Out of Medical 1 Stores, A neutral who saw . the prepara- tietis for the recent German -Turkish attack on the Suns Canal In .Egypt, which the British 'repulsed, describes them in the London Times as fol• lows l "The expedition was carefully planned and executed. It was a Movement on which the Turks placed great store. The preparations for it were made even more carefully than tot the expedition hist year, When the attack was' being planned the whole country was overrun with Germane and the Bagdad Railway wits Mated to Its uttermost. "One of the most striking features Was that the Germane never frater- nized in the slightest degree with the Turks, The German soldiers wake well clothed and well fed; their com- missariat was run along Prussian lines and the men wanted for noth- ing, The Germans had plenty of Medical stores and doctors; but with their unfortunate allies it Was differ- ent. In a Desperate Plight. "Their stores were always low, and they had almost entirely run out of drugs and medical necessities. In this respect they still are in a 'desperate plight. The Germans did nothing to help them, either with stores or with men." Their two systems of supplies are run on entirely separate lines. "The Turkish troops are in strange contrast with the Prussians. Many of them are in rags, without any semblance of uniform. They are pro- vided with a good aluminum water bottle covered with felt. Their rifles also are good, but many of the men are without boots and some without headgear. The majority, however, wore a cloth helmet, with string to tie it under the chin, said to have been designed by Enver Pasha and called Enver. "In camp the Germans and Turks might have been on the opposite side,' of the earth as far as any communi- cation between the two was concern- ed. The Germans strongly discoun- tenanced any attempts at familiarity. Conditions in Syria. The writer says the condition . of the people of Syria is past all be- lief. Many hangings ' have taken place. They are not exactly hangings, for the victim is suspended with his toes barely touching a stool, which he often kicks -from under him. It is estimated that 80,000 to 80,- 000 have died from starvation in this. country. The people who are deport- ed are made to give up their belong- ings. The Turkish Government then sells the land and promises them sim- ilar allotments in the north or in An- gora, They are then sent to Sivas or some similar town, where they find the Government has done with then. In some villayets there is no Arab spealcing Christian left. This neutral says that one of the good works of the American Red Cross was clearing Serbia of typhus as far as humanly possible. The Ger- mans did not help, he says, but wait- ed until the Americans had accom- plished things and then settled. REMARKABLE CONSCIENCE. Memory of Stealing an Apple Any. thing But Pleasant. A little knowledge, one recalls, is a dangerous thing. So, too, may be an apple which you may have inno- cently purloined in your earliest years. It may cause you to feel the prick of conscience for many decades. That, at least, has been the experi- ence of an Edinburgh denizen. Once, in the remote and shadowy past, he took that which was not his—to wit, one apple --from a stand in the Cow- gate. The fruit was enjoyed, but the memory of the furtive meal proved; to be anything but pleasant. The consumer left the Scottish capital and in time Fate carried him across the Atlantic. Fresh scenes and activities engaged him, but the thought of that apple clogged him everywhere. He might have been a second Eve. At last his overloaded conscience could bear the strain no longer. Nothing short of written confession to the Lord Provost of Edinburgh would appease the gnawing at his heart, So —40 years after the dark deed had been done—the letter was written and conscience money to the extent of one dollar paid. Russia Prosperous. Russia is said to be the only war- ring nation whose people are actually growing more prosperous during the conflict, prohibition answering for part of the change and the forced de- velopment .of new industries explain+' tag the rest of it.

TURKEY DESIRES SEP II '. ATE PEACE INFLUENTIAL OTTOMANS AND BULGARIANS HAVE SOUND - +D THE ALLIES. A -despatch from Rome says: Ro. parts are coming from east, wast, north and south concerning efforts b Turkey and Bulgaria to snake a se': Ontoteace with he allies, Ho p ever, the papers warn the public nets to put too much faith in such minors as, while there it a grain of truth in them, the Governments of theee court. tries Nave taken no steps to that end, The fact seems to be that certain in= fiuontial persons of both Turkey anti Bulgaria have bounded England and France and even Russia, for the puri pose of ascertaining on what tonne separate peace would be granted, but that the allies replied evasively, intim- Ming that they could, only treat with the responsible Governments and on the understanding that the countries desiring peace would fully acknow- ledge the victory of the allies. Real negotiations are still along' way off, but interested Bulgarians and Turks are working for this result. • BRITISH ZEPPELINS ATTAIN GREAT SPEED. New Airships Are Superior to the German Dirigible. A despatch from London says: The Daily' Express features an article by its naval expert on "our new Zeppe- lins," which says: "During the past week I have watched the great Brit ids airships at work, and, although' I am unable to make practical corny, parisons with the German Zeppelins,: our new airships certainly seem mar. vellously rigid and beautifully de- signed. Mariners who have made close observations of German dirig- ibles consider, our new airships cap- , able of being handled more readilyl of finer model and altogether less cumbersome than the German type, The British airships, moreover, ats tain an amazingly high speed. AUSTRIAN LOSSES ARE BECOMING COLOSSAL, Men Taken from Garrisons in Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. A despatch from Rome says: , Ac- cording to an Austrian source several battalions of Landsturm have been taken from the Austrian garrisons in Serbia, Montenegro and Albania, also from the cities of Prague, Budapest and Vienna and other towns, to be sent to the Italian front, where the Austrian losses are f,iuly colossal. Archduke Eugen has assumed direct command of the forces on the Isonzo - Carso line: TO FIX CENTRE SPAN OF, QUEBEC BRIDGE. A despatch from Ottawa says: It is expected that between Sept. 14 and 16 the great centre span of the Que- bec bridge will be floated into posi- tion. This will pave the way for the opening of the structure early next year. AUSTRALIA SEALED AGAINST ENEMY AGENTS.
