A LITTLE SLICE O. LIFE
Ny wife is saving soul
Poor woman, she knows no better.
For a long time she saved cork and
rubber
And old bottles and meat tins and
rags and old iron
She was saving them for Uncle Sam,
but Uncle never called for them,
And finally we unloaded about four
vanloads of the stuff
On the junkman and got thirty-seveu
cents for it.
Saving junk was no use, and my wife
had to save something,
So she began saving food. This was
the finest
Little job of saving she ever did.
Women are peculiar.
They either serve too much or too
little.
They don't strike happy medium
anywhere
Outside the spiyitualistic seances.
She saved UP scraps and made hash.
We always have plenty of scraps.
She made up enough hash to last a
week, and I said:
Now that We are saving, let US do it
right. ..--...-
Let US also save the hash And we
did so. -

We are not eating at home at all.

Red Cross Christmas Seals

How many Red Cross Christmas Seals did
you buy last year? Will you buy three times as
many this year?
Unless every purchaser of Red Cross Seals
triples his or her purchase this year. the creation
of 100000 War tuberculosis Campaign Fund
will not be possible.
The American Red Cross and The National
Association for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis are making drive for the creation of
this fund because Americas entry into the war
has revealed thousands of hitherto unsuspected
cases Of tuberculosis that must be cared for, and
because every precaution must be taken to safe
guard our troops abroad against the great white
plague.
Last year S1,O5O,0OO was made for the anti
tuberculosis campaign by the sale of Red Cross
Seals. This means that 1O5, 100000 holiday tok-

Why We Are at War

prepared the Indiana State Council of Defense by
Father Cavanaugh President OF the University OF
Notre Dame)
The Militaristic spirit in Germany must per-
ish, or America can not survive. When the lion
and the lamb lie down together, the lamb is al
ways inside the lion, and a peace-loving CONNER
cal nation can never be safe so long as militar-
istic powerful, and aggressive nation lies within
striking distance and eager to strike.
Let not the gentle-mannered think that we
can have no proper concern about the thoughts
and the internal organization of neighboring ma
TONS Where these things are merely matters Of
taste, we have indeed no right to interfere; but
when any strong nation avows policy that in
wolves the destruction of our country, we should
be less than reasonable, we should be insane, if
we permitted that nation to build up monstrous
machine for carrying out its purpose, while we
bartered and played. 1t does not promote the
happiness of kindly fat man to know that a
burglar or murderer is lying in wait for him
with a club, he goes his peaceful way on a
dark night. That was precisely the situation Of
our people before the war began.
We rhapsodize over the men of Washington s
time and the stalwarts of Lincoln's day, but let
not forget to acclaim the heroes of this critical
hour. Of what avail was it that the Revolution
airy partiots created America, and the Civil War
patriots unified America if patriots of today do
not conserve America?
This is as sacred as either of the other
great American wars, and every and every
dollar within the bounds of our country must
help to win the fight.
Whoever shirks or shrinks is constructively
traitor.
This is against war; and pacifists them
selves, if they were wise, would see in American
victory the only hope of the triumph of their
cause. 800 ~
This war is to purchase permanent peace and
it must not end till the spirit of militaristic ag
gresson perishes from the earth.
1t will require the exertion of all our peoples
gigantic might to see this conflict through, and
any American who, for any reason whatsoever,
is cold or backward in this war is unworthy of his
sacred inheritance.

The President S Message

President Wilson's message to Congress is a
powerful re-statement of our aims and motives In
this war.
Two reasons evidently prompted his utter
ance. First, to re-affrm positively that we are
not seeking personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT as an ans
wer to carping critics at home and abroad; sec
ondy, to offset the false views regarding our mo-
tives which the Kaiser's agents have been spread
ing in Italy, Russia and In Germany itself.
The President minces no words in denouncing
the accusation that America is seeking territorial
gains and that is engaged in the task OF crushing
Germany in order that we may grasp commercial
supremacy from the ruins. He emphasizes the
truth that Germany is not fighting mighty de-
fensive war against the aggression of hostile ma
tons but that she is engaged in an offensive war
for the purpose of assuring her commercial con-
quests by force of arms, principle, so the Presi-
dent declares, that is obsolete and cannot stand
the test of the enlightened public opinion of the
twentieth century.
1t is to be hoped that the German people will
be able to read an uncensored and complete text
of this message, SO that they may understand our
motives. The crafty masters of Germany have
deluded them into believing that they are fight
ing for their very existence and that they have
been offended against.
If the German masses could understand the
real fundamental issues of the great conflict, it is
safe to believe that they would lose the confidence
they have in their rulers and would be amenable
to reason, but this can hardly be hoped for.
The same appeal is made to the peoples of
other nations that are being misled by the agents
of the Kaiser. Italy's people have learned their
lesson by the expenditure of blood. Russia is in
a chaotic state, and German intrigue is quickly
bringing about her doom.
Those of our own citizens who have been luke
warm in their patriotism or have had their doubts
about our stand will find the Presidents message
a clear text book. Let them ponder it seriously
and their doubts will>vanish. The.full Importance
of the message will grow on the American people
as they re-read and study it. It challenges our
study
