For Self Preservation.

That this is not a commercial
war and that the United States is
not in it to s'make the world safe
tor democracy" is declared by
Lord Northclife, head of the
British war mission, in plain
spoken article, entitled "What
America is Fighting For" to
appear in the October issue OF
Current Opinion magazine. Lord
Northcliffe takes issue with Presi-
dent Wilson and refutes stock
argument of tie yelled pro-
German press in stating that "it
this country had meant to take up
arms in defense of British or
French interests, or in the interest
of Belgium, or in order to spread
democracy, it would not have
waited until April, 1917. If its
aims had been commercial, it
would have been in the war long
ago.
1.-The motive which brought the
United States in was not sympathy
with any other nation, was not de-
sire for gain, was not an abstract
fondness for democratic as opposed
to autocratic government; it was
self interest, self-preservatlon, self
respect. The American people are
not fighting to make the world
safe for democracy, but to make
the world safe for themselves.
The only way to do this, Lore
Northcliffe asserts, is TO make
Prussia admit that her theory oil
state which has no conscience,
state which can do no wrong, il
out of date.
"Even among the allies Their
exist misconceptions as to th'
causes and aims of the struggle. I
number of English people still
, fancy that Britain could have KEEP
out of the conflict if Belgium ha'
not been invaded. These peopl
are still unable to understand tina

Appointment of a special committee
TO be known as the emergency serv-

to form a state unit under each state

nointee of the state federation board:

~ units, and may recommend sucn aa-
ditional units as will facilitate the
work in any particular state.

General federation comes from its all

Two Great Objects.
The federation has two great OBJ
jects: First, to be of the utmost serv-
ice in the time of need; second, and
quite as important, to keep alive in
every community the sense OF law and
elements, that must rebuild society
when the tumult of war is past.
Two of the things for which the edu-
cation department is advised to work
for are school breakfasts, and super.
vised physical training.
The conservation department has to
do with
The preservation and intelligent use
of raw materials
The natural resources of the land.
Food conservation necessarily en-
braces the problem of food production,
transportation, distribution, sale and
use. It is not alone that more food
must be produced, but the supply must
be conserved by proper handling and
the elimination of waste.
Production is not merely an agricul-
problem. 1t involves the question of
soil, water supply, preservation of for
estS and of irrigation and of drainage
Its transportation and distribution has
to do with roads, not only the main
highways of the country, but the by
ways in every little rural community
as well.
Reaching the point Of distribution, it
becomes civic concern and here Leg
islation enters. Here there is need OF
against new legislation
that may be introduced, which seeks
to control prices or to increase profits
at the expense of the consumer.

Members of the woman's Christian
Temperance union throughout the
country are responding loyalty to the
call for Christian patriotism, report
the general officers of the national w.
G. T. u. Each one is eagerly asking,
pacific seem to feel this impulse to de-
voted service. Beseeching letters have
poured into national headquarters with
the query. What is the w. c. 7. U. go
| ing to DO in this crisis?'
The hrst effort OF the national or
ganization, comprising nearly 100000
women. will be to use its powerful in
fiuence and superb machinery as one
of the allied temperance forces of the
country to secure from the extraordi-
nary session of the Sixty-ffth congress
the enactment OF nationwide prohibi-
ton as a war measure. Just what form
this legislation will take will later be
determined. 1t is felt that the boys of
the army and navy must be safeguard
ed from evil influences, that saloons
and dens of vice near training camps
away with. The material resources OF
the nation must also be carefully con-
served.
Red Cross Rules Govern.
For many years the national w. G.
T. u. has had a department of work
among soldiers and sailors through
which much effective total abstinence
and relief work has been accomplish
ed. This work for soldiers, sailors and
marines and for general relief is now
to be standardized by Red Cross rules.
Mrs. Ella Hoover Thatcher, of Wash
ington, d. c., national superintendent,
already has through her state asso-
ciates. her special plan of work we'll in
hand. This includes renting electric
fans, furnishing fruit and delicacies for
army base hospitals, social welfare
work at army training camps and mo-
biliZation centers, serving coffee and
doughnuts or cake and lemonade to
soldiers and sailors as they entrain,
and giving to each a copy OF the SOL
diers' Temperance Songster and a total
abstinence pledge card.
