SALVATlONISTS AND THE WAR

Everyone is familiar with the salvation army. ana
everyone is familiar with the War Cry, the ohacial paper
of that organization. Here is what the War Cry says
about the second Liberty Loan:
This Is sure to be called for in tho near
future. We expect that anywhere from $1.oo0,-
100000 to 5000. ooo. 900 Of bonds will be issued
and the subscriptions for the full sum, even
though the loan reach the larger figure, should w.
be forthcoming. Now is the time to save. Sal
vationists and their friends are usually poor but
when it comes to a pinch it is surpristns what a
respectable lot Of cash can be brought to light,
and Uncle Sam is in q pinch tight pfnch-but
his pockets arc long and We folks OF The Saliva
ton Army must do our share in helping him to
dig up the gold needed to pay the cost Of this
fracas for freedon1. One thing is certain, that
If 1t takes our last dollar, the work must be done
tho world must be made safe against the DOM
nance of a military autocracy, and multitudes
feel sorry that the Offering cannot be something
more than dollars. The cause is SO noble that 1t
seems unworthy to offer less sthan ones best.
Given that our hearts are in this matter. we
shall surely save our dollars, and happily every
where we see the evidence Of heart devotion.
81 Got ready for the second. Liberty Losx!
With = very few exceptions the members Of the sal
walton army are persons Of small property or none at
all. They have little money to spare. They tax them
selves about to the limit to prosecute the great work
in which they are engaged. More than the members of
any other religious group they have had occasion to
know, through hard experience, something of whatever
injustice exists in the relations between the great and
the small, the rich and the poor. Contrast their att
ouuo q eApIesSeU m LHe1T CHlClal organ With tn0t OF
the I. w. w. and other organizations Of more or less
similar character, whose attitude varies from that of
downright hostility to the nation and its government
to the sort of patriotism which says, 1--WE will be loyal
II we can have everything our own way"
The War Cry declares a loyalty that is unconditional.
1t knows that there are evils to be remedied. It knows
that there are wrongs to be redressed. But the thought
that 1t urges upon its readers now fs that the nation ID
in need, and that its children must come to its aid.
Therefore, leaving all things else aside, 1t urged that its
people, out Of their poverty, save a little in order that
they may help as they can. fs
Let the man who attaches conditions to his loyalty
read that paragraph and then hide himself in shame
until he has learned something Of what the word pat
riotism'' means.

may be used as collatsrsl TOR loans. But most az the
small purchasers, there y every reason TO believe, buy
Liberty bonds chiefly for the purpose Of hefpins the
government. Having bought they do not wish to soil.
They have made sacrifices to raise the price o. the
bond. They have economised in some way. the bond
10 concrete evidence Of What they have done. And, while
they do not flaunt their bonds In the faoes Of their neigh
born. they do experience a feeling Of satisfactisn in their
possession. The tendency will be to hold onto them.
And It is mo4e than likely that tho purchase of the first
bond will launch many a man upon a course Of sensible
and systematic thrift which will before long change hs
entire standing and outlook. The purchase Of q Liberty
bond Is q good beginning.

Urgent Call for Surgical Dressings.

Urgent Call for Surgical Dressings.
To Organizations IN the GuG Division
Under date of October 10, Mr.. Har-
vev d. Gibson, general manager. makes
an urgent call for an output of surgi-
cal dressings at the front. In his let
ter he quotes the following cable from
Major Murphy, dated Oct. IA, to the
following effect:
The Red Cross has direct response
bility of supplying US with surgical
dressings, and nothing in the whole
situation here is equally important.
Red Cross standard dressings in mil
lions must be sent over with all possi-
bic speed. If this is not done and done
Immediately a serious calamity and ma
tional disgrace is inevitable. The Amer
lean women who compose the Red Cross
chapters should prepare with all the
enthusiasm and speed possible the
dressings which are going to mean life
or death to our own men. This whole
question deals with the most vital things
that the women of America can do for
the soldiers in this war
Mr. Gibson writes: Representa-
tives of the Women's Bureau have just
arrived this week from abroad, and
they inform Us that it is hard for US to
appreciate the great quantities of dress
ings which are necessary. To best en-
able US 10 visualize this they have in
formed US that cases are numerous
where an entire box of dressing is used
on one patient T"
The call to service is clear. 1t is for
MORE and MORE surgical dressings
The summer season is ended; your
members have returned strengthened
and refreshed, ready for work. Do not
discontinue other work: but urge your
members to increased efforts in this de-
par.ment. The need is immediate;
your response should be prompt.
