The very thought of | | building up the institution of Ameri- anism without including the woman he mother of the home—is itself an un-American idea. S0 also is the practice of leaving her continuously to think foreign thoughts and to ex- | . press them in a foreign tongue, or of allowing her to be the object of our social and ecivic neglect, if perchance | she is of foreign descent, almost equally hostile to the American ideal; and yet not more so than is our tra- | ditional and accepted tolerance of ; having numbers of the native born | women continue trifling and irrespon- ble members of the social group.

The statement will ap- { ply, however, impartially to those of | native birth and to those of foreign birth. The Women of ive Birth. Let us first regard the statement in reference to the former. It is well that already a veritable host of the women of this country | are giving expression of the spirit and | the practice of Americanism. But un- | less and until the American women | are as a matter of policy permitted | to assume large civic responsibilities and to participate in wider activities | of public and industrial kinds, accord- | ing to their capabilities, they will not | be rightly prepared for their full | share as joint partners in the living | of Americanism. It is the necessity | of the war situation that has done { much to promote the interest and | participation of women in public and | business enterprises, while in the | fields of social and humanitarian service the womanhood of the country | has risen to the highest glory. Re- | sponsibility, purposeful labor and co- | operation for a weighty and worthy cause, are the things that bring to | expression the best that nature has | given us. These experiences also get | us accustomed to the harness of team | work and to sharing in a common en- | terprise for the common good. | Yet the contrast is indeed made | manifest by the many American girls | in our numerous cities, who, unmind- | ful of the needs on the blood-soaked fields of France, uniformiy prefer the its recognized Stomach Misery Rid of That Sourness, Gas and Indigestion.

Happily such reminders can be for only a mi- of women, to be sure, but that minority is very real and at times rather too prominent. They are not true to the American type. The Greater Need. 3ut why and Americanizing women of foreign birth? At the very start it must be almost self-evident that if we succeed in educating the men only, we tend | promote a cleavage in the family, which is itself un-American. If the mother continues to wear old-country clothes, speak a foreign tongue and to remain unchanged in manner, sho will be left at home by the othe in the family who are adapting them- selves to our ways; and that home will not cease to lack the cleanliness, the neatness, and the sanitation that mark our standards of living. Still further, we must consider those men of their own kin who later coming home from the army and the camps, | Americanized, will perhaps feel little attracted to these women who have neither learned English, nor the bet- ter ways of living and of keeping tho homes, as well as themselves, attrac- tive. All this will make for a negation of Americanism. Our duty is certainly too clear for any divsion of counsel in this matter. We simply must reach the women of foreign' birth in a s pathetic and helpful way. These wo- men must be helped to understand America and the factors immediately touching their own lives in this coun- They must be instructed in the use of our language. Let it be clearly understood that the language of the home will not be English unless the mother also uses it. These same wo- men who have previously been shun- ned and slighted must be made to like America and to feel at home here. This will surely signify that they are entitled to courtesy, to the necessary forms of information, to help and sympathy in their troubles, and to the opportunity for friendly hospitali- ty in the Land of their choice. There is the implication here that the aloof- ness of the highbrow, the barriers of prejudice, and the snobbishness of the pseudo- cultured, are all as averse to good Americanism as is the clannish- ne: the segregation, and 'the facHl" colonizing of those who happen to differ from us in the geography of their birth. Nativism and its Errors. It is entirely unfair for us to con- demn a whole group of diverse people, as though lacking in intellec- tual traits or in reasonable standards of living, when we ourselves have judged everything according to our own nativism, when we have made | money out of the crowded, unsanitary ill-housing conditions that the new- comer was forced to accept and was led to believe were American, when our provision for the learning of our Janguage and our ways has often heen spasmodic and half-hearted and when we have with impunity called them names and hurt their feeling We certainly do not know what would ble, had we used more ystem in our attitude. But we do know that to secure the splen- did development of the vast resources of the great Northwest such treatment was not employed.

NOT END EXPENSES ' McAdoo Says Billions Will Still Be Needed Aiter War hington, Oct. 18.—A ous financing program faces the na | tion and the American people wheth- | cr peace comes this week year. Ior this reason Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo declared yes- terday the Fourth Liberty Loan must and will be fully subscribed by American people, though with two days to go it is $2,000,000,000 shy of the total asked. Secretary McAdoo frankly admit- ted that peace talk at this time had had serious effect upon the loan be- cause of a lack of full realization by many people that the war expendi- tures could not be stopped abruptly. “If peace comes,” the Secretary said, “it will take billions to bring peace to the shores of America army fighting upon the other side cannot be stopped because these boys have won victory for us. There are 2,000,000 men on the other side now, and at best they cannot be brought back faster than 300,000 a month “This means that we would be con- siderably more than half a year get- ing the boys home again if peace came tomorrow, and in the mean- clothe and supply them. And even so we have no right to talk of peace now. No matter how gratefully we might welcome it, peace is not in sight. “Including the deficiency measure already passed by the House, gress has appropriated $37,000,000,- 000 for the present year alone. We have contracted for huge bills. Sam has always paid his bills and he will pay them now. Our expendiiures cannot be abruptly stopped and the people must know thi ]L\d realize it fully. We are already spending at the rate of $24,000,000,000 for the year. This is $2,000,000,000 a month of expenditures that Uncle Sam must meet. “With respect to the $37.000,000, 000 appropriated by Congr it might be said that the country cannot spend so much, that production can- not be brought up to this point. There is no guarantee of this, however, as production is still increasing. But even so the present loan not only must be subscribed, but future loans. The floatation of bonds will be neces- or next sary even after peace comes to meet | the war bills contracted and to meet the reconstruction program that will be necessary. In this connection the Secretary pointed out that with another year of war this nation probably will spend $75,000,000,000 or more. Such an ex- penditure will make an extensive pro- gram of readjustment and reconstruc- tion one of the first essential The expenditures authorized by Congress | for the present year alone are equal to those of Great Britain for the war up-to date. Loan Must Be Subscribed. The secretary, -emphasizing that the loan must be subscribed, declared that he was perfectly willing to guar- antee personally that it would be tak- en. He made it plain that the of the campaign would not be extend- ed. The loan drive will end Saturday night and the United States will face the world with success or failure in backing up its army and the war program outlined. Failure, it is pointed out, would mean the spreading of information among the German people to the ef- fect that 'the American people were on the verge of revolution, that they were not supporting the government and were divided in the war, some- thing that would tremendously strengthen the morale of Germany. Another featuré of the loan that has escaped the casual observation of many Americans the secretary brought out is the fact that the treas- ury has found it necessary to meet its daily bills, to borrow on short term treasury certificates in advanc of this and other loans. half billion dollars of the §6,000,000,- in the present loan has been spent already.

The Americans took the town pri- | marily by outwitting the enemy—by attacking without artillery prepara- tion, which the Germans had expected, by wading the River Aire at four points instead of building bridges, by struggling through almost impassable mud step by step until suddenly on top of the amazed Germans and by driv- ing them into a retreat after_hand to hanad fighting . The Americans had moved to a point within a short distance of Grand Pre and the Germans had de- stroyed the bridges over the shallow Aire as they retreated. The enemy obviously expected an artillery fire to preface any further attack, for his surprise was unfeigned when the Americans smashed into his positions. The American attack began at 6 o’clock in the morning. The men forward in the shelter of the forest, reaching the Aire at four points agreed upon where the stream could be forded. Without attracting the attention of the Germans the Americans then cold water, which reached to their waists and higher, and pushed across the stream.
