And they are, the young in the full strength of manhood, for whom, in other times, we might augur long days of health and life.

There have been many in recent years, who, finding, not without some ground, signs. of decadence in the British Empire, have thought that, perhaps, the day was approach- ing when, as in the case of every other Empire that the world hay known, decay and, ultimately, dissolution would bring to ruin the work of centuries.

According to the Krenzeitung, Field-Mar- shal von Hindenburg is not as satisfied with the operations in the eastern war area as his supporters would have it appear. He is said to have given utterance to the feeling that the German people are neglecting prayer and are losing the strength which comes from prayer
