How Much Would You

The more we reflect upon the address
Of President Wilson i'm Buffalo 90 or

chief executive considers an adjust

The country stands endangered today
by a comparative FEW in the ranks Oh
capital who are overbearing, unreason-
able and unfair in their attitude toward
labor and who seek to make all work
ers suffer for the sins Of few in the
ranks of labor.
What the country needs, demands and
MUST HAVE is the complete and
whole-souled cooperation of both capital
and labor, and what President Wilson
very plainly intimates is that the gov
eminent intends 10 be so organized for
the war.
The achievement of his object can be
brought about in only one way, and that
way is to enlist the efforts of labor itself
TO eliminate its trouble-stirring radicals
and soreheads, never happy unless they
are engaged in disorganizing the plans Of
others, no matter If the plans are those
Of their government for winning war
that is being fought for them.
And looking further toward this
achievement, there must be eliminated
from among the employers of the coun-
try those who have always been a
stumbling block to sincere endeavor for
a full understanding with labor
In other woods, the undesirables in
both camps must be smoked out and driv-
en- to cover, and there isn't bit Of doubt
that this is what the president intends
shall be done.
And we know that he win take such
action because of his conviction that it
is necessary.
A school boy is able TO sense that the
war cannot be won until we are all pull

Whenever a woman deliberately
knits a gayly cOlOred sweater when
she might be giving that time and
service 20 the knitting auxiliary.
which, in turn, is supplying the des-
perate need overseas, she is, by her
negligence, exposing someone TO i'll
ness and possible death. Every ball
OF fancy yarn is one ball of yarn
taken from the possible supply OF
khaki or gray. II is practically i'm
possible 10 buy yarn today and the
reason IS that some women have
taken TO fancy knitting with a fury
which almost no other fad had ever
taken the country.
True, there should be a yarn com
mission which should prohibit the
sale Of these fancy yarns so that the
demand would cease and the people
would take 10 the working OF khaki
and gray yarns into the needed gar
ments.
There is a group Of women in this
town (their names are not mention
ed because they requested they
should not be)-a group that has
worked faithfully and untiringly for
/ the last six months They have
blazed the way. They stuck to the
ship when the Red Cross campaign
was on. They have supplied to the
immediate needs Of the auxiliaries.
These women for months past have
/ been buying their own yarn and
I knitting garment after garment.
They ask no praise; they ask no
/ compliment They merely ask that
! the women Of South Bend and the
! people OF South Bend will come 70
this time of difficulty with a good
will and double up forces so that the
necessary funds may be raised for
the yarn supplies.
! BY Nov. I. 400 garments are sup

1t isn't indifference. It isn't care

to say. Most likely, it is the fact
J before mentioned-the ever present
demand for this and for that.

This will be the worst winter that
northern France has known The
supply OF wood and other fuel which
was available last winter has been
materially decreased by the sum-
mer's warfare. And now there are
not only the French and English
armies and the thousands OF refu-
gees 10 be kept warm-but the
American expeditionary forces
your boy - your sisters boy-your
neighbours boy. Do you realize what
70 means. mothers, sisters OF South
Bend?
Keeping warm ia France this win
ter for the fghting armies will be
"a matter OF warm clothing rather
than one OF fuel. IF there is not
enough warm clothing, death will
reap n greater harvest this winter
than war.
This is not mere sentiment. il is
cold fact.
You have given your money TO the
Red Cross fund, you say? 4 es. South
Benders. but do not forget that that
money must be kept in the treasury
Tor the dependents and for such 9th
er demands as may arise which are
unforeseen at this time. South Bend
must answer TO this call for yarn.
There have been many touching
scenes in South Bend Of late. The
departure Of the various quotas OF
men has left many a heartachy one
behind There have been many
such scenes all over the country.
And il is for these men who have
gone that this money is being ask
ed. The local auxiliary heads are
helpless 20 20 ahead until they get
the money to buy more yarn. They
must have il and they must have the
support Of the women, too. who can
not AFFORD TO buy the yarn but who
can knit. One service is just as
valuable as the other. But there
must he yarn for the knitters.
Two visiting ladies from Evanston,
H., stopped a Red Cross worker on
the street the other day and asked
her what the Red Cross situation
was here The lady told them as
hest she could what had been done
and the ladies were astonished, FOR
even wealthy Evanston has not done
as we'll even though IL has done a
wonderful work. for the Red Cross
chapter there has supplied the
money with which TO buy the yarn
which is. Of course. the best solu-
zion OF the money difficulty if il were
possible in all places. but since il
isn't we should not sit back and
wait for further developments but
get onto the job and do the very
best we can.
Everybody knows that the winter
is going 20 be terrible one. Tn,
men need warm clothing. Their uni
forms are good but they'll have Il
do the hardest kind OF work I'm tn,

need scarfs. sweaters. wristlets and

DrArtigny stood silent, evidently in
thought, endeavoring to grasp the
threads Of my tale.
SLOW did you attain the summit Of
this bluff" he questioned at last.
"Yonder; there is a deer trail lead

"He will likely become suspicious

"And we must guard 1t from being

termination and leadership in his voice.
There are questions I must ask. so
that we may work together in har-
mony. but Cassion can never be al
lowed to suspect that we have COM
munication. Let us go forward to
the end of the trail where you came
up; from there we can keep watch
below"
He still grasped my hand, and I had
no thought Of withdrawing 1t. To me
he was a friend, loyal, trustworthy,
the one alone to whom l could con-
fde. Together we clambered over
the rough rocks to where the narrow
cleft led downward.

1t was not yet dawn when the stir
In the camp aroused me, and the sun
had not risen above the bluffs, or be-
gun to tinge the river, when our laden

chief seated beside him. / caught but
a glimpse of them as the canoe round

silently away through the lingering
shadows. yet 1t %gladdened me to know
his eyes were turned toward my tent
until they vanished.
A new distribution had been ar
ranged, Chevet accompanying the SER
geant, leaving the commissaire and
me alone, except for the pere, who had
position in the bow. l observed this

quietly taking the place assigned me.
and shading my face from the first
rays of the sun.
At noon we landed in a sheltered
cove, brilliant with wild flowers, and
p~artook of food, the rearward canoes
joining us. but D'Artigny was still
ahead, perhaps under orders to keep
away. To escape Cassion ! clambered
up the front of the cliff, and had view
from the summit, marking the sweep
of the river for many a league, a
scene of wild beauty never to be for
gotten. | fingered there at the edge
until the voice Of the commissaire re-
called me to my place in the canoe.
It is of no consequence now what
we ~conversed about during that long
afternoon, as we pushed steadily on
against the current. Cassion en-
deavored to be entertaining and l
made every effort to encourage him,
although my secret thoughts were not
pleasant ones. He had set out to over
ONE my scruples, to conquer my will,
and was merely biding his time, seek
ing to learn the best point of attack.
1t was with this end in view that he
kept me 10 himself. banishing Chevet,
and compelling D'Artigay to remain
well IN advance. He was testing me
now by his tales of Quebec, his boast
ing of friendship with the governor,
his stories of army adventure, and
the wealth he expected to amass
through his official connections. Yet
the very tone he assumed, the cOnceit
shown in his narratives, only served
to add to my dislike. This creature
was my husband, yet l shrank from
him, and once. when he dared to touch
my hand, l drew it away as though
it We're contamination. 1t was then

through theses madly churning waters
above. Cassion was issuing his orders
loudly, but exhibited no inclination to
accompany the party, and suddenly
the frail craft shot out from the
shore, with D'Artigny at the steering
paddle, and every Indian braced for
his task, and headed boldly into the
smother. They vanished as though
swallowed by the mist, CSssion and
a half dozen soldiers racing along the
shore line in an effort to keep abreast
Of the laboring craft.
1T was q wild, desolate spot in which
we were, a mere rift in the bluffs,
which seemed to overhang us, covered
with +. heavy growth Of forest. The
sun was still an hour high, although
1t was twilight already beside the
river, when Cassion and his men came
struggling back to report that the ca
noe had made safe passage, and, talk
ing advantage Of his good hurnor,
proposed a climb up an opening of
the bluff. down which led a deer trail
plainly discernible.
Not l." he said, casting a glance
upward. 'The run over the rocks will
dc me for exercise tonight"
Then will I assay it alone" I re-
piled, not displeased at his refusal. 81
am cramped from sitting in the canoe
so long"
"'Twill be a hard climb, and they
tell me the pere has strained a tendon
of his leg coming ashore"
"And what Of that" / burst forth,
giving vent to my Indignation. "Am 1
a ~ten-year-old to be guarded every step

and no danger. You can see yourself
the trail is not steep. Faith! / will
so now, just to show that I am at
liberty"
He laughed, an unpleasant sound to
1t, yet made no effort to halt me. The
rude path 1 followed was narrow, but
not steep enough to prove wearisome,
and, as it led up through a crevice
in the earth, finally emerged at the
top of the bluff at a considerable dis
lance above the camp ! had left. Thick
woods covered the crest, although there
were open plains beyond, and l was
obliged to advance to the very edge
in order to gain glimpse Of the river.
Once there, however. with footing
secure on a fat rock, the scene out.
spread was one Of wild and fascinat.
ing beauty. Directly below me were
the rapids, rock strewn, the white
spray leaping high In air, the swift
green water swirling past in tremend'
