Before the break, thousands had poured across via Canada—for humanity’s sake. Columbia’s women will not be outdone by Uncle Sam’s men. For humanity’s sake they will come forward un- der that sacred insignia—The Red Cross! Of what avail is stretcher-bearer’s bravery or ambulance driver’s heroic risk if there be not ready hands, soft hands, tender, touch,. deft fin- gers and swift, to minister and staunch, bandage and soothe, comfort and egress! “They, are DYING over there because YOU are over here, sweethearts and sisters of Uncle Sam’s your hearts that everyone of us workers, savers, worriers need in the hour of trial... foak When we saw you turn homeward from your boy ,who was marching away in. the ranks, we knew you had-the ‘courage to go through. with-it all.

Your song goes to the office with us, trembles about us as a comforting rhelody through: the day’s drive, and the happiness of it lingers with us as we make our way homeward at night.

This is the plan: Pe ia “Twice a day the league’s optimists shall, at.a designated hour, concentrate intellectually, grit their teeth, stamp their feet and ‘simultaneously wish dire things for the Germans.” The league proposes to “mentally electrocute” the enemy. fs We wish this could be done. It would be ever so much cheaper in men and money. But wishes are not horses and waves of hate can’t eompete with waves of poison gas and Krupp cannon, ~~ ‘ If that “Optimistic League” really wants to help win the war it can do more by hoeing corn, digging potatoes, buying Thrift Stamps, and mak- ing munitions than by gritting teeth and stamp- ing feet. Instead of using up perfectly good time in concocting waves of) hate, it were better’ to dedicate those minutes to work. We can’t win this war with “waves of hate”, nor by telling what we’d do to the kaiser if. we caught him. The only things which will win this war are— WORK, SAVE, FIGHT!” Insurmountable difficulties make impractical the execution of a recent plan to mount guns on clouds. But if we could mount HUNS on clouds and: then evaporate the clouds—that’s an idea STEER CLEAR In their journey from the body of one victim to. the body of a prospective victim’ the germs which cause typhoid fever travel over certain .well known, well defined paths or routes, |” These routes are five in number—contact, water, milk, food and flies.
