of nent-up patriotism. Her battleshlp
fund grows with an ever increasing rapid
ity, spreading its appeal from one newspa-
per constituency to another. igniting new
sources of emotion. swelling IN volume into

That is its function, Of course-to give
tangible proof of great popular desire
that Uncle Sam have an adequate navy

chink of dimes those who greet the sparks

peace and brotherly love.
The accumulation is d children's fund,
but no one in his senses is minimizing It's
significance on that score. Every dime mas
behind it the urge of parental sentiment.
Grown-up Americans are little AFRAID OF
their deepest feelings, and so they grasp
every opportunity of this sort to express
