The windows of our homes are eloquent these 8. Our human eyes we call the “windows of the soul” re- vealing to the world the ilght or darkness of the heart within. And today the windows of our houses have changed from common frames of wood and glass to soul-windows which ‘reveal the heart of the home behind the panes. Whether we walk down stately city avenues, or pass before the white-faced cottages in the house windows call out their messages to us. Once, with their discreet curtains, they hid from the world all the sweet secrets of the life within—but now—hear them whisper—or shout their greeting to the human brothers passing by. ’ This window gives a single solemn, triumphant cry— “We have a son in France!” s its service flag. This Window's flag-voice says proudly—‘We have a boy in train- ing camp.” And the house next door has a window which declares—“We have no son to give, but see!—we honor the flag, and we have sent a daughter to the Red Cross.” The ‘window of the cottage on the corner announces that father has a war-garden, and that mother would scorn to waste serap of wheat or fat or sugar. And the window of y Brown's house “My little boy has bought ee Savings Stamps with his own money. The window in the factory-hand’s cottage says, “I can Ip—I’'ve bought a Liberty Bond.” The big plate glass ww at the banker’s house whispers, “Through me a war-bride watches for those letters from France.” Sometimes the windows join in a perfect chorus— “We've sent a son to war; we save money; we conserve ; we've planted a war-garden; we've bought a bond; ‘we belong to the Red Cross; we buy Thrift Stamps; we've ped the Y. M. C. A.—and ‘we pledge our lives, our for- ines, and our sacred honor’ to this flag.” And sometimes from the window of a very quiet house re comes a voice that is neither shout nor whisper—but a note of deep and solemn music—a window whose arred flag speaks out—‘My son has paid the last full A ure of devotion!” si x . Windows! The speaking windows of millions of homes no longer curtained to conceal the hearts within, but bright with flags that tell of love and loyalty—gay with , rs that pledge service and aid, and brave with stars declare the eternal glory of our democracy—the spirit sends the sons of every home, great and small, to tht as brothers of the world—for “Freedom, For ALL, ever!” : One of our war reporters cables that the heavy rains © are giving the Germans time to bury their dead.

Won’t Catch Uncle Stripped * Before the war, says a New York editor, the European tions were, annually, spending two billion dollars on pre- dness as a preventive of war, all for nothing. _ This is hardly true and it isn’t full argument against sparedness, even if true. The only nation, save Germany, at all prepared for lat came was Great Britain, and her preparation consisted ly in her command of the seas. None of the allied na- ns had prepared for a food and fuel crisis, and we can where France, Italy, Belgium, the Balkans and sia would now be, had Great Britain stayed out and many controlled the seas. Anti-preparedness, supine pacificism, is never again going to be a policy at all popular in this country. We ‘turned from peace to the bloody war business with light- Ming-like rapidity and thoroness. It will be our problem return to peace with similar dispatch and thoroness, and we will do it, but never again will Uncle Sam be caught Wholly unprepared to do his part, anywhere, in a dis- Z ce that jeopardizes his personal rights and interests. performing a very big part in this war, if not, indeed, civilization, he is going to be able, at the peace to demand and secure much limiting the possibility 9 future wars, but he can never again perform as a mere ' home guard, and he'll be foolish if he does not insist on : sing full preparedness for whatever may come, as cheap possible. He has but to see to it that there be no Ger- im army or navy of consequence. We predict that he’ll as considerably assistance in putting thru that part of ‘his world policy.
