WAR TIME CITIZENSHIP Editor Star: We frequently notice in the newspapers where » “John Doe,” or some other rich man, has given $1,000 or $5,000 to the Red Cross, or bought a similar amount of Liberty bonds, Why shouldn't be? He is giving nothing. Ile is simply pay- ing out « smal! portion of his wealth to enable him to rewin and enjoy the balance I know an old lady who ekes out an existence of constant pri- vation by such day work as she can obtain, and notwithstanding this, she had managed to save $100. When the first Liberty bond Grive came, she immediately bought a $100 bend. She had managed to save up $10 more when the present Red @rive was announced. Without solicitation this $10 was contributed. ‘ This old lady spends many a wheatleas, meatiess and sugariess day, not solely because Hoovér recommends it, but to enable her to buy a Liberty bond and contribute her mite to the Red Cross. Who deserves the “monument,” this old lady or “John Doe"? « Another example of giving wi! it hope of public commenda- tion is that of a man who has at present no “earning capacity,” He did not have enough money to buy a Liberty bond, but by borrowing from his friends he managed to get together enough te do so. When the Red Cross drive solicitors came to him, he gaid: “I haven't a cent; but I have a Liberty bond which I was in hopes to keep; this I give to you very cheerfully, and my only Fegret is that it ls not more.” ‘This man and this old lady have nothing to “protect,” gonally, but their love for humanity and sense of justice, for which ewe are fighting, are such that they willingly give their all to the cause. c.
