ELLIS I • i It -is a peculiar and significant fact (that the highest friendship seldom Exists outside of religion. "We love because lie lirst loved us." The two friends worthy to be true friends must both be taught in the school of Christ, for anything lower than His Ideals makes the sublimest love im possible. And unless Christ be the common meeting ground and deep est bond of interest, there must be irritating and destructive limitations to a friendship. To become worthy r>f the best friend, make yourself a iriend of Jesus. • • "God is love." * * • They who live according to the pospel of Christ live always with re spect to their brother. Christ lays the welfare of the feeblest as a charge upon the hearts of His fol lowers. Ho bids us do naught that will give offense to a weaker brother. We are to bear one another's burdens if we would fulfill His law. What ever hurts the least of all saints hurts Christ. Therefore, we who are of His family must observe love's royal law of giving up that which may be rightfully ours for the sake t>f another. * * * The royal law of love gives a Chris Additional protection against substitutes—-"The * r "t !^ Bayer Cross" on every package and every tablet (t%|; IMff of genuine Aspirin.

Who loveth most is nearest kin to God. Who is all Love or nothing. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. • But now abldeth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these Is love. —I Corinthians 13:13. • The signs of goodness are many. If a man be gracious and courteous to strangers, it shows that he is a i citizen of the world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a continent that joins them; if he be compassionate to wards the afflictions of others, it shows that his heart is a noble tree that is wounded itself when it gives its balm.—Bacon. As we love men we love Christ. • ♦ A life is measured by its love. The life that loves little is a small life, even though it bo spent in a palace or in roaming the world over. And the life that loves much, though its sphere be limited by the four walls NEW INCOME TAXES PROPOSED AS NECESSARY WAR MEASURE PASSAGE by Congress of the recommended Trtar tax law will impose upon individuals much larger income taxes than at present, but far les3 than British subjects are now paying.

The extent of our love is the only true measure of our life. • • * We cannot lift men until we love them. Love is the root of creation; God's essence; worlds without number Lie in His bosom like children; He made them for this purpose only. Only to love and be loved again. He breathed forth His spirit Into the slumbering dust, and up right standing, it laid its Hand on its heart, and felt it was warm with a flame out of heaven. Quench, oh quench not that flame! It is the breath of your being. Love is life, but hatred is death. —Longfellow. Would you do more for Christ? Then love more. Would you be more to Christ? Then love more. Would you help men more? Then love more. Would you reach further in serving- men? Then love more. Love is the route to service and to power. As we grow in love we grow in all the other needed equipments for the Master's work. An increase of love is the Christian's first need. Whoever else my munificence profit, It does me no good until it is given from a loving heart.—James Cooper. A passion for humanity is the no blest sentiment that can animate the human breast. To love all mankind with a high, fervent and self-sacri ficing love is to show forth the spirit of Him who is the supreme Example of a world lover. Jesus was moved with compassion by the sight of multitudes, and His lament over Jerusalem is one of the tenderestpas sages in all language. Love of men was His underlying motive. This was the passion which brought Him to earth, and sent Him unresting through His ministry of service and sacrifice. When our hearts most yearn for the welfare of' mankind, time we most resemble the world's Saviour.

When its members left Washington yesterday for their tour of the West they had the satisfac tion of knowing that the American government will go the limit of its power in supporting France and the other entente allies in the war against Germany. The commission had virtual assur ance that a division of soldiers will at an early date be started for the battle front in France, that this gov ernment will send 3,000 ambulances and 7,700 doctors and drivers to that country; 1,000 medical men at once to England and that in all probability a force of nearly 10,000 American railway men will be sent to France to put the railways there on a strategic military footing for use by British, French and Ameri can forces. The fact that a railway expedition will be sent to France leaked out to day when Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio* who has charge of transportation under the Council of National Defense, in a speech before the National Defense conference of Governors said that there would be an early curtailment of passenger trains to enable this country to obtain railway men for use in the expedition to France. Mr. Willard said that the entire output of railway rolling stock and rails for some time would be shipped for the use of the allies in France and Rus sia. The plans for aiding France in solving her railroad problems, which have been drawn up in detail by the Council of National Defense, will be made public within a few days. The question was discussed here to-day by a group of railroad heads in con ference with members of the de fense council. The first step will be the dispatch of a commission of four railroad experts including John S. Stevens. Frigar Freed by Jury of Homicide Charge Philadelphia, May 4. Nineteen minutes of deliberation sufficed the jury in the case of Ellis D. Frigar, accused of murder in the first degree in the killing of Edward Boland on the Neill drive, Fairmount Park, on the night of August 22, to free the prisoner in the Court of Oyer and Terminer last night. The verdict of acquittal established a record for speed in capital cases for recent years in this county, and the oldest court attache could not remember when an issue was determined in a shorter period. Hardly had the words "Not Guilty" fell from the lipsof Foreman Frank Lenoir before a demonstra tion of approval as odd as it was re markable was repressed by the court officials. There was an instant's pause as the words that freed Frigar were spoken. Then the silence was broken by a distinct patter of hands that seemed to come from a little knot of spectators, of whom the cen tral figures were Mrs. Wessel and Miss Dorothy Wessel, the wife and daughter of the judge before whom the trial was conducted. Chile Breaks Relations With Kaiser's Government London, May 4. —Tlie Chilean Min ister to Germany has demanded his passports, according to a Central News dispatch from Amsterdam. The dispatch says: "A message received from Berlin says the Chilean Minister to Germany has demanded his passports and an nounced a rupture of relations be tween Chile and Germany. The news caused the greatest annoyance in po litical circles, where efforts were be ing made to avoid a break with both Chile und Argentina, in order to pre serve some friendships in South America. "Instructions have been given for Chilean citizens to be treated as en emy citizens.
