INDIVIDUAL PREPAREDNESS.

Anent all of this preparedness talk,
1t is hoped will be of more than pass
ing note and influence. Preparedness
means more than pertaining to the ar
my and navy. To be prepared is an
essential to success in every walk of
life, and in every duty that confronts
u.s. The unprepared man or woman
in the varied activities of human en-
deavor is at very great disadvant-
age as compared to those who are pre-
pared.
1t is to be hoped that the expert
ence and observation that has been
ours for the past few months as re-
lates to our military unpreparedness
will teach us lesson that will never
be forgotten, but will bring us to a
more real appreciation of what pre-
paredness, which is only another
name for fitness, means.
Preparedness means more than a
knowledge of how to shoot or how to
march, or how to pitch a tent. 1t
means a personal and individual re-
sponsibility for health, a realization of
the meaning of obedience. of system,
and Of service for every individual
with whom we come in contact, man,
woman and child.

The war has taken turn. The
long expected and much talked OF
gigantic British offensive has begun,
and that the thing was we'll planned
is evidenced by the manner in which
they have been sweeping theiI enc
mics bfore them.
Every day reports from the front
tell of fresh victories won by the al
lies, and of more thousands of pris-
oners being taken. On the south the
Italians are making great progress
against the Austrians, and in the east
the Russians are sweeping all before
them, apparently. Official reports
from both sides differ in the amount
of the victory. but the Germans do
not deny that they are losing ground
fast.
Unless the advances from three
sides are checked, 1t will not be many
months before the central powers
will be forced back on their own soil
according to opinions OF war experts.

New York, May 17.-The club
women of the country, two and a
half million of whom are represent
ed in the General Federation of
Women's Clubs, have pefected a plan
for the greatest convention in the
history of the Federation In New
York this month. The dates are MAY
22 to June 8. During those seven
teen days it is expected that fully
10000 women representing clubs In
every State in the union, as we'll as
some from Alaska, Japan, England,
Hawaii and South America, will at
tend many of the innumeable meet
ings and social functions that have
been arranged.
New York city this year is said
to have more than 500 different con-
ventions on its calendar but from all
indications none will equal in at
tendance the gathering Of women
Special sentiment is attached to the
women's convention by the fact that
although the Federation was founded
here twenty-six years ago, it is the
arst time since then that the women
have met In New York. 1t was "JeE-
ME June" Croley, one OF the found
ers Of the Sorosis, the pioneer wom-
ans club in this country. who ini-
tiated the idea OF a general con1 en-
tion Of women's clubs in 1889, and
the outcome of this was the holding
Of the first convention of the General
Federation in New York in the fol.
lowing year when So clubs were rep
sented by 126 delegates and the Soro-
sis was hostess.
