American Women, Stop
Boosting The Kaiser!


Are the American women going to
continue to help the Kaiser or will
they help his opponents?
This is the question thoughtful peo-
pie are anxiously asking And well
they may, for on the side that the
American women throw their energies
On that side will the scales in all
probability tip. toward victory.
But" you exclaim, "of course the
American women will help the Allies.
II is preposterous to think that they
would send husbands. sons, and broth
ers to fight against the Germans. and
then they. themselves. turn around
and help the enemy"
Yes, we admit. this does sound pre-
posterous. Nevertheless. it is the
grim truth. The American women are
helping the Germans very materially.
Last August, for instance, about 21,-
600 900 of our supposedly good Amer
lean women-the very women who
we're sending their loved ones bravely
out to face the German guns. sub
marined and sank four cargoes of food
needed by France
What, you don't believe us?
Listen, then. to the facts.
The approximate total garbage col
lection last August from twenty-one
million people living in our largest
cities was 19s.S57 tons. Now, of
course. part of this garbage was legiti-
mate waste. But, say one-tenth land
food experts tell US this Is very con-
sentative estimate) was good food
thrown away.
This. means that American food
handlers and chiefly American house
wives. threw away 1885 tons APP
proximately of good food. or about
four shiploads In other words. last
August they Summarized and sank
four ship loads of food. For what do
the Germans care whether the food
goes into our garbage cans or is sunk
TO the bottom of the ocean so long as
it does not help feed our own soldiers
in France and those lighting alongside
them.
So. il we continue TO throw away
good food at this rate. we might as
well admit we are helping to boost
the kaiser uber Allies.
Shall we continue to do thisg

The National Surgical Dressings
Committee most emphatically endorses
the following statement made by the
National Committee of Patriotic
Societies.
I'VE figure that the money normally
spent in this country at the Christ
mas season amounts to many millions
of dollars and in the way in which it
is spent the spirit of Christmas and
of its Founder is sometimes forgot
ten We are fighting for the princi-
pie of human freedom enunciated by
Christ. Ii therefore seems most pro-
per to devote the vast amount Of
Christmas money to the relief of sick
and wounded soldiers; the rehabilita-
ton of ruined villages; and the sup
port of war orphans and cripples.
Through this type of giving the men.
women and children of America will
learn the true meaning of the pharse:

ceive'.''

dent McLarin, in a statement issued
last night.
The statement says. in part:
Postmaster General Burleson is one
who. until the other day, had not been
quoted on the subject. He has now
made his position clear by stating that
the organized postal employees are max
ing many selfish demands and insist
ing that they shall not be required or
permitted to work in excess of the
usual number of hours. that their sal
aries be permanently increased. al
though they are justly compensated

the only official who takes this posi-
ton, and there are several hundred
congressman who view the subject In
