(Established 1878) Ce LOYALTY OF WOMEN} A French soldier killed his. wife when she served his coffee in a cup on which was the kaiser’s picture. What really incited him to murder was her intimacy with German officers while he was at the front. More awful, than HUN frightfulness, more dreaded than Teuton barbarity are incidents like these, for their deliberateness blasts forever the sufferer’s faith in humankind, like a breath of flame from hell. The men in trenchesgwallowing in filth, endur- ing privation and facihg death are really, in the final analysis, fighting for WOMAN. What soldier doesn’t treasure a picture, letter or other token of someone who bade him God- speed with trembling tones, quivering lips and mist-clouded smiling eyes, : What boy doesn’t charge ’cross No Man’s Land with the grim determination that his mother, his wife, his sweetheart will never hear the dread tread of the bestial HUN hordes? What Italian, Frenchman, Belgian, British and Yank hasn’t promised someonesto acquit himself valorously for HER? 7 4 ; The fidelity, constance, loyalty and devotion of WOMAN is no less vital to the allied MORALE than supreme generalship, munitions, food and equipment. “The kaiser has changed his tune to that of “successful defense.” TROPHIES OF WAR. Like a primal passion, it runs through our race —the curio-collecting mania. No one is missed. In tourists, the trait pre- dominates; though the endlessanique and \curi- osity shops attest it an obsession with countless others too. With some, the streak tends toward weapons and ‘armor; others favor massive, uncomfortable furniture from ages past and points wide- spread apart. Again, it has, form as “choice” china, rare jewels, floor coverings and barbarous touches, to costume. Interior decorators prostitute their talent to it and artists forsake their art for it— provided the price paid is commensurate. But soon there’ll be relics “en surfeit.” Troph- ies of war, dearly bought battlefield “bric-a-brac” to adorn the place that father parks his feet and the shelf from which Willie eats directly after con- vention in the woodshed. Bits of shell and grenade, bomb and bullet, each with his history to be proudly prated upon when _ callers populate the parlor—will find their way back with the boys when Berlin gives in and takes the count. So, pick out special spots to be made ornate and prepare now to decorate! * Some U. S. senators have found a new way to help the kaiser—by trying to shield slackers from round-ups. OBSTACLES. Progress is made because of: obstacles or in spite of them; lisually, in spite of them. Resistance increases persistence; the urge in man is to surge ahead.- \ Obstacles are not a hindrance but a further- ance; they rout intertia, awaken energy and spur determination. Every obstacle. surmounted and opposition over- come builds character, increases power and ad- vances evolution. . .There are three ways in which to deal with obstacles—batter through and thrust aside by sheer force of will, detour or ingeniously convert to the end aspired. The combative nature, the physical, smashes against; the mental transforms obstacles to step- ping stones. Obstacles regulate the apparent worth of things. The more formidable the obstacle the more value we place upon that which is fust beyond it. ~ Just as distance lends charm and mystery at- tracts, obstacles excite a covetous desire for the Something between which and us they stand. Poverty is one great obstacle that has made _ many-strong men. In‘fighting the wolf from the Marquette STON, 3 Winter St.; DETROIT, Kresege hange. threshold, they discovered: the* principles upon which fortunes are founded. ~ -, Fs Rah. There are many other universal obstacles that have been equally instrumental in the world prog- ress so far attained. Isolation caused man to breathe steam into cylinders and lay the rails that annihilate dis- ttance; it ’roused him to the possibilities of air- flight to eliminate time. Oppression is an obstacle to expression ; by com- parison with tyranny, freedom reaches its proper are burst asunder and liberty is born. Learn to regard obstacles as assets and give to each its share of care in consideration of its pos- sibilities for your personal outfit. Remember the TWELFTH—and register! The sort of “war bit” to do is to do your war work a bit better today than you did it yesterday. The typewriter will not be subject to tax. How about typists—will blondes be taxed LIGHTER than brunets? ’ When the shoe of war pinches you a little take comfort in knowing that it squeezes the German hoof a lot more. | WITH THE EDITORS THE SALVAGE PLAN. The work of conserving the waste materials in American homes is now being nationally organized by the Red Cross. Striking success had already been achieved by local organizations. The sal- vage plan originated with Mrs. Otheman Stevens, in Los Angeles, who made it a source of steady income for that Red Cross chapter. From Los Angeles, the movement first extended to Kansas City, where the work“was organized by Mrs. John Allan Dougherty and quickly produced. $1,200 a month for war work. Many other communities Dougherty’s urgings at Washington, the Govern- ment has now made the movement official and na- tional. Army, for the Army. expectations, the salvage will be one billion dol- lars a year. The American people have been in- credibly wasteful. But the saving of this waste can be accomplished without parsimony and with surprisingly little effort. Here are some of the things that housewives and householders can lay aside for the waste collector: Tin and lead foil, folded flat, collapsible paste and paint tubes; lead, brass, copper and alum- inum waste; old gold, silver, and broken bits of jewelry; typewriter, ribbon boxes. and ribbon spools; old motor licenses; motor car and bicycle tires; rubber of all kinds; books, magazines, and newspapers, which must be folded once and tied securely both ways; Burlap sacks, clean cotton and wool rags, tailor clippings and remnants; glass fruit jars, cold cream jars, bottles of all kinds rinsed clean; tin cans with fitted lids. and tin boxes (no tin cans that are opened with an combings ; buttons; old window shades; old knives and forks and spoons; clothing, furs; furniture, bric-a-brac; pictures, etc.; paste-board boxes in good condition, and innumerable other articles. World’s Work. A NEW RUGGIERO. Major Gabriele D’Annunzio, the intrepid Ital- ian airman-poet, eclipsed his brilliant record last miles being over enem yterritory—crossed the Alps twice, dropped thousands of. leaflets on Vienna, and returned with the loss of only one machine that developed engine trouble. We have come to regard airmanship as.essentially the privilege of youth. Yet Major D’Annunzio is well past fifty. He has repeatedly flown fighting planes over Cat- taro and Pola, and has bombed Austrian troops from low altitudes during Italian offensives. Despite several wounds—one of which cost him the sight of an eye—his ardor is undiminished and his nerve unshaken. But the true savour of his latest exploit lies in his message to the as- tonished Viennese:—“We could drop tons of bombs, but-* * * we Italians do not make war on women, children, and ‘old men.’ ” That, the Germans may think, is not war; but even they cannot deny that, it is magnanimous and mag- nificent. It is certainly propaganda of the best kind. As for those Viennese who feel unhappy in “Prussian uniform,” they may well have ex- claimed. in their own untranslatable idiom, ‘‘Fes- che Kerls!” The Allies of Italy will wish Major D’Annunzio long life, and strength in future years to record in his inimitable verse achievements that outshine in their poetic reality the legendary flights of Ruggiero and Astolfo on the Ippogrifo. What Ariosto sang, D’Annunzio has accomplished. London Times. DO NOT SEPARATE THEM. Forcibly separating a pastor from his flock is @ cruel process. Those members of the congregation of the New Salem church, who voted to retain their pastor after he had been convicted of vidlating the es- pionage act, should. not be separated from him. They should be permitted to continue worship- ping under his guidance at the place to which the reverend gentleman is going.—Fargo Forum. perspective and appeal, the shackles of monarchy |" successfully tried the plan.

McHugh of this city. Neil is with the 126 Mch. Infantry. \ Somewhere in France, August 18, 1918. Dearest Mother :— . Forgive me for being so slow in writing, but things have happened in the past month, which scarcely gave me time to think—let alone writing. + Have been in on the big drive, and can say with pride that. my division was on a large part of the American front. We drove the Hun back so far in a week that our kitchens did not catch up to us for ten days after. _We went over after them (Huns). Wish I could tell you all;.but it can’t be done. Had the misfortune to lose our captain and -a_ lieutenant along with several of my pals, but some one must pay the price, and they died, as every American wishes to die—fight- ing a good fight—with the Hun:retreating. .. .. ; Words :cannot describe the feelings of one: in. hig -first battle, so I-wilf not even try, but thank the good-God that'so many of us‘are still alive. Our one fault was; we went too fast for our artillery, and it was. infantry against machine guhs and Hunjartillery. But that didn’t stop the American soldier once he was started. . Read in the papers where the name Bismarck is to be changed. I have often wondered why they did not' change it long ago as that name makes my stomach sour every time I have to address a letter there. : -.. Well, mother, dear, I went, to church and received Holy communion this morning. Mass was read in the wood—not far from where our captain and Quentin Rooseyelt. met their deaths. Our chaplain is one of the finest men one could meet. Just like a father to the boys, and many a hardened sinner has changed his mode of living, having been face to face. with death for ten terrible days. i Don’t know when we will be ordered back in the lines, but think it will be soon, so cheer up and don’t worry. Maybe we will spend Christmas together. Lovingly, NEIL. Co. H, 126 Infantry, American Ex.,Forces, Via New York. COL. QUAIN IS_. |Head of Bismarck Base Hospital O.
