Conscientous Objector's Creed
I believe in peace and in the determin-
ed obliteration of all feelings of wrath and
indignation for cringes against humanity
and civilization. I believe in a sublime
endurance of all insults, and in a cringing
compliance with the forces of bestality,
destruction and lust. I believe in opening
our gates to madmen and leaving our
homes defenceless. I believe if a war is
to be fought, it should be fought by some-
one else I believe in milk and water, in
narnbyparnbyism and flapdoodle, in gush
and bunkum, in veiled eyes and soft
hands, in mealy mouths and fat stomachs,
in the encouragement of cowardice in and
in slavery everlasting, for the forgiveness
of everything rotten for the Kaiser's sake.
Amen—"Life,"

..-WILLED TWl':NTY MEN.
Terrible Havoc Caused by a Single
Chance Shot.
"There is no romance loft in war;
it is a dirty business, and every one
of us who is in it is determined that
when we finish the,; war, it shall be
so thoroughly finished that nobody
will ever start another,"
Thus writes a 'British transport
eaptain in a letter to an English
newspaper ,deserihing how 'ie lease
fust lost twenty of hes mon, gal •
though thay nrr' nearly a dozen
miles behind the front. thrnnalr a
shell fro:n a German long-rrn•,e
naval gun fifteen miles away. '1'ha
shell was a chance shot. Here is tl.e
'aptain's story:
"We have descended nn a wer of
stink -pots, of spectt.eled �h it•istt:
leering horribly in obscur' laborator-
ies while they concoct tin torturcT ;'f
the damned, of medit'val poison':'
or
Eying death from the elends. It i;
less Iike war than some elpaa flOLl
devilishness which mon is a;, poor- i --
less to control as he was the. vol,
canoes which overwhelmed Pompeii
or St. Pierre. It is not alone in the
forefront of the battle where mon
stand face-to-face, but in quiel
places far back, when death A:lr a
himself with outrageous violen`e stn i
suddenness. The dead men Ira,
never seen their foe; there 11r•; b'::i
no contest, no combat.
"1 witnessed an incident to -clay the
like of which I have seen befor.', th
lilte of which is happening °vela day
along these hundreds of miles 01
battle line. Itis as well you should
hear of it who have a quiet roof over
your heads, who wait plaeidly lender
your umbrellas at the street corner
for your tram ear.
"It was at a cross roads, and a
vast amount of traffic was shoving by
it, guns and wagons and pantie;;
motor lorries and officers on hr,r;•
hack and ambulances. Far in frrnt
hung motionless in the air the inn^,
row of balloons that marked the
circle of the front.
"It endured perhaps but two ae-
e.onds before it prerin,tated that
frightful tragedy towards whish it
'vas moving, but every second was
an age. Every man who heard it
held his breath, "Now the whittle
changed to a suttnen plunging roar.
A quarter of a ton was falling head-
long through space and yet invisible.
A rocking crash, and up from the
road leaped a volcano of black earth
and smoke and stones. The whole
air filled itself with shrieking hits of
metal, whirling swathes of dust, unci
choking fumes. Horses were plung-
ing, men cursing. Above all rang
the screams of mortal agony,
"I gazed with horror Towards the
'pot and saw a wagon lying with its
wheels up in the ditch, it:, horses
:hying motionless nearby. In the
grass by the roadside lay some inert
ggures of men whose absolute mo-
tionlessness told its own tale.
"One thought of the homes snti-
denly emptied far away, of mothers
and wives and children that would
wait in vain. And it has all been
done by the unkeen hand that had
lust pulled a string fifteen, miles
away."

It is' perfectly RIGHT and GOOD to
wish our friends
"A HAPPY NEW YEAR"
n s11.ii iii in. � i,,i 1 11
But the fact remains never -the -less that our happiness depends ALMOST
T
ENTIRELY upon ourselves, and that wonderful statement made many years
ago and is just as much a TRUISM to -day as it was on the day it was spoken
namely:
"As a man thinketh in his heart ---
so is he."
We may be wished A Happy New Year a thousand times, but unless it is
put into operation those things which promote happiness all the good wishes
will go for naught.
Confidence (in ones self) and determination are two of the necessary
comodities required to promote happinesss and both of these can be obtained
by everyone — in other words the poor man can be just as happy as the mil-
lionaire, and the writer ventures to state that the negro in his humble hut
down south is (as a rule) just as happy as t hat ofthe millionaire on 5th Ave.,
New York.
We therefore wish our customers and friends the WILL POWER to give
them sufficient CONFIDENCE and DETERMINATION to make the year
of 1018
A Bright and Happy New Year
