The Japanese do not sleep on Eu-

puffs piled one on top Of each other
upon the floor. For bed covering they
use more of the same kinds of puts.
It is said that the Japanese emperor

cover him is made in the shape of a

The penarius.

The denarius, translated penny, was
a Roman silver coin in the time of
Jesus and his apostles. 1t was the
principal silver coin Of the Roman
commonwealth. From the parable Of
the laborers in the vineyard, in the
twentieth chapter of Matthew,it would
appear that a denarius was then the
ordinary pay for days labor,

Both gave up positions in civil life
paying more than captains salary
for the pay of a private.
Neither felt that they were making
a sacrifice but that they were accord
ed a privilege by being permitted to
serve their country and the cause OF
humanity in time of stress.
Their dads, in common with other
American dads, would rather, aye a
thousand times rather, have gone in
their boys places, had not stern mil.
itary regulations demanded efficiency
rather than experience.
It is the has-beeners that make the
real sacrifices and it is the mowers
that are accorded the glorious privil.
eye of service.
The wife who buckles on her hus'
bands sword and bids him fare forth
to battle and anxiously waits for news
from the front has harder task thar
facing hostil cannon. She is the one
that makes the real sacrifice.
The mother that kisses her boy
goodbye and sends him forth to fight
for the flag and on her knees waits
long deferred news from him, suffers
far more than that same boy dying by
inches in a foreign military prison
from lack of proper food and insanita-
ton, for his is physical suffering only
while hers is the stern agony Of the
soul. Hers is the real sacrifice.
The missile of death that strikes
down the soldier lover on the battles
crimson field does not end it's work
there but speeds on and on across the
miles of intervening space until it
reaches the heart of some maiden and
inflicts there a wound that time will
never heal. She makes the real sac
rifice.
We should view the war through
two eyes-The eye of service and the
eye of suffering.
Red-blooded militant fighters Ike
Sam and Bob see the conflict only
through the eye of service.
All real sacrifice is based on suffer-
ing.
Those that serve suffer far less than
those that send.
When these astute pencil pushers
assert that the men that enlist make
the real sacrifice they are so far off
their trolley that it would take a
wrecking train to get them back on
the track.

FIRE CREEL!

In the wisdom of the wise ones at
Washington Bureau of Informa-
ton" was established to furnish the
American people with official news
concerning the war.
1t was sad misomer; it should
have been termed the Bureau of
Misinformation."
AT its head, as chief news operator,
was placed George Creel. Where the
president found him few people know
and where he goes to still fewer peo-
pie care so long as he goes somewhere
so the public will know him no more
forever.
The first contingent of American
troops recently landed safely in
France. In order to "arouse the pa
triotism of American people," and to
"add zest to Independence Day cele-
brations," this man Creel, to use his
own words, elaborated" on Admiral
Gleaves' report of the voyage; faxed
battle between the destroyers con-
voying the squadron and mythical
German fleet of submarines in which
one U-boat was sunk and the rest ig-
ANONYMOUSLY driven away in panic
of dismayed retreat. /
1t turns out that on the voyage the
American squadron did not even sight
the periscope of a submarine.
The account was Pigment of
Creel's imagination.
He treats the staid American citi-
zenry as a pack of Chinesers who
think they can win battles by beating
tom toms and shaking stink pots. Be-
cause the papers did not play up to his
flap-doodle and pat him on the back
for his sensational fake, he character
ICES them as "nasty" and declares he
will advise his chief, Secretary DAN
iels to pay no attention to the mean
old things.
The expedition has landed in France.
There is now no reason why Admiral
Gleaves' report of the voyage should
not be given to the public unexpurgat-
ed and un-Creeled. The American
people are not asking for any advance
information in regard to military or
naval movements. They do not ask
for news the premature publication of
which might aid the enemy or hamper
American success, but when events
have actually transpired, when battles
have been fought on land or sea, they
want to know the results, whatever
they are.
They demand all the accurate, legit-
innate news of their boys on land or
sea in any part of the world they may
may happen to be, as soon as isae

dom. When all other methods of cap.
ture failed, by jings, they ensnareo
him in Cupid's chains and married
them. Southern women have not, even
yet, forgone fighting the battle of the
Confederacy, and many a Southern
woman treasures as her most sacred
relic bullet-rent rebel banner.
Once again the citizens of the Re-
public are called to arms in a worlo
war for humanity and once again Am
erican women are blazing out the
pathway of loyalty, patriotism and
sacrifice for their brothers.
The country called for men and ten
millions of Americas finest signified
their willingness to serve, but had the
same spirit of loyalty pervaded Amer
lean masculinity that possesses Amer
lean femininity, twenty millions woulc
have demanded the opportunity to
serve.
Uncle Sam called for dollars. Two
billion was the amount asked. The
response were splendid. The amount
was over subscribed one half. Four
million subscribers took the loan. One
million of these were unmarried wo-
men. Had the men of the country
subscribed as we'll according to their
resources, the amount would have been
over-subscribed twenty times instead
of once and a half.
A hundred million dollars is asked
for the Red Cross fund to carry on
the Christ side of the war. 1t vii
be raised, and more if. necessary, but
if the same sacrificial spirit ruled
mankind as governs womankind, three
times that amount would be in the
Red Cross treasury inside of sixty
days.
History repeats. In all the days
of need that have beset this nation
since it's organization, men have do
mated gloriously and women have CIV
. en- divinely and please bear in m,no
that the difference between giving and
donating is wide as the seven seas.
Rockefeller, for example, donated
million dollars to the Red Cross
fund. He has made princely dona
tons to other worthy objects anC
should be given due credit therefor,
but he and his ilk never gave a cent
to anything or anybody because then
beneficiences never cost them any per-
sonal sacrifices. A gift is not gift,
unless it costs the donor something
besides the largeness bestowed.
The overworked, underpaid school
ma am, who made over her last sea-
sons hat, in order that she might be-
stow the price of the new creation,
her artistic spirit craved, to the Red
Cross fund, has given more than all
the millionaires and multimillionaires
whose munificient donations have
been so ostenstatiously heralded to
and paraded before an adpiring pop
ulace.
God gave his son to save the world; ;
he did not donate him. A gift must
come from the altar of sacrifice or it
is not a gift; it must contain within
itself the spirit of surrender; this
spirit is woefully lacking in mans do
nations but it permeates women's
gifts life heavenly incense.
Women can even be credited with
the good deeds of men for were women
to pass out of things terrestrial, men
would soon become an extinct species.

MEN, WOMEN
and THINGS
She Likes Him Better
By F. M. E.


She Likes Him Better
A woman thinks a lot more Of a
man who will make her jump through
hoop once in a while than she does
of the boob who will jump through a
hoop for her every time she points
her finger at him.
A Hard Task
It is hard task for a man who
makes his check book his text book
to be Christian.
Only Two
Shakespeare says that every man
has seven ages. This may be true but
a woman has only two, the age she is
and the one she says she is.
Lack Nerve
Some men possess so little nerve
that they would get stage fright at
their own funeral if they were not
dead.
More Valuable
1t is worth more to the average man
to be able to mend a chair than it is
to be able to read Greek.
Husbands as They Run.
An average husband is a jewel; a
bad husband is a handicap and an
extra good one is an awful bore.
What Hurts
A small boy does not mind being
stitched if none of his little chums
are near enough to hear him squeal.
UnquestiOnably
Seek trouble and you will find it;
knock and you will get knocked.
A Crying Need
What the country really needs at
the present time is less progressing
and more arriving.
Never Witnessed
No one ever saw mother blush
for shame because her son was fight
ling for the flag. a~sl ~
