We heard his call when *F sh homes were destroyed, churches burned, women pnged, babies butchered, when all France lay bleeding ‘and starving, when the Hun was but a step from final and rushing victory over the bravest of peoples. The voice that came out of the roar of bursting shell, that was not to be hushed by American pacifist nor Ger- man propaganda, came clear and strong to our ears. It touched our hearts and strengthened our souls. It was an- _ @wered. _ America went to war. The whole great force of American resources, men, | ney, shops, fields, homes, went into the war, It wasn't long thereafter before a little group stood ore the statue of Lafayette in Paris, There were Presi- tt Poincare of France, Gen. Petain, French warri Pershing, American hero, to whom was intrusted ca’s answer to Lafayette. Then it that Gen. , and was hing thrilled the hearts of the French people and with these words: “Lafayette, we've come.” That was all. But it was enough.

Old Hindenburg may be laying out his line Unter den Linden in another year. ‘erent Now In the other days when railroads were run by private tions for the benefit of stock gamblers and large ckholders, they used to start increasing wages high up. gamblers took their profits by watering the stock. The irman of the board, president and big executives added their salaries every now and then. Well organized labor fions were able to get a bit of increase after fighting hard more. Those at the bottom, the poorly paid clerk and , never received increases of wages. After the government took over the roads, all employes, ‘excepting the presidents, chairmen, etc., got fatter pay en- - » * 01 __ And now the government proposes to add still more to wages of the lowliest of railroad workers, clerks and '._ That will leave less for the presidents and chairmen. Naturally they are convinced that government operation of lines doesn’t pay. It doesn’t pay them. fn Maybe the Huns are trying to reach Paris by run- ning round the globe. | The Salvation Army “Say a good word for the Salvation Army.” This is the word sent to a Seattle mother from her} son in France | He told how the Salvation Army workers start cheer- fully on duty where the Hun shells are falling “and give ranges to the boys while the Y. M. C. A. sells them.” New glory is crowning Salvation Army workers. Modestly and quietly this organization has taken up war responsibilities, and fulfilled them in generous measure. Calls upon the public for support have not been frequent. Yet, when the next call does come, civilians who under- stand what the Salvation Army is doing, will respond gladly. Tis true, Bill Hohenzollern never raised his six sons to be soldiers. Why Senator Penrose interferes with the nation’s war busi- ness long enough to tell the senate that he knows “a couple of physicians who are pretty good sports,” explaining that from them he can get prescriptions for liquor if the nation goes “dry.” Now, isn’t that a cute thing to say?
