Call to the Ladies for Help

A call for help has come from the
battle front in France on behalf of
American soldiers, the soldiers of their
Allies, and of the destitute civilians
of devasted Belgium and Northern
France. Six million warm, knitted
wooden articles are needed to help
them get thru the winter. The appeal
has come to the American Red Cross
at Washington, and it specifies 1,5OO,-
900 each of sweaters, muff1ers, wrist
lets and socks.
The call is official. Major Grayson
M. P. Murphy of General Pershing's
staff, the Red Cross Commissioner
for Europe, who knows better perhaps
than any other man just how badly
things are needed, has cabled for them.
Here is part of his message:
Last winter broke the record for
cold and misery among the people
here, We inexpressibly dread the
coming winter finding US without sup
plies to meet the situation. We urge
you, on behalf of our soldiers and
those of our allies, who will suffer in
their frozen trenches, and also thou
sands of French and Belgian refugees,
to begin shipping at once 100000
each Of the warm, knitted, wooden ar
ticles named. They must come before
cold weather"
The entire people of the land are
called upon to render this service to
the men in khakie, and those strug-
Cling with them. The hearts of the
people will be in the task because their
own are among those who need the
the service. Every county, every vii
lage, every voting precinct, is sending
of it's best to fight for the country, and
the woman who knits one of these
garments feels, with every stitch, that
it may be her own son, her own broth
er, or one of her dearest friends, who
may be kept more comfortable by he1
work.

Ambassador Gerard's Articles.


The readers of the Wood County Re-
porter, and the people of the state of
Wisconsin, who are familiar with the
newspapers of the state, are acquaint-
ed with the fact that the Milwaukee
Journal, published in the city of Mil
waukee, is one of the most progressive
and enjoyable family newspapers pub
lished in this state. They publish over
100000 copies each day that circulates
all over the western states. This Juor-
nal has contracted for and has the ex-
elusive publication rights in Wiscon-
sin for the startling series of articles
written by Ambassador Gerard on his
return from Germany. You have un-
doubtedly heard about his story and
know something of the amazing tale of
underhanded diplomacy and intrigue
that Mr.. Gerard has unfolded. They
are absolutely the most vital, most
important papers that the great world
war has yet unfolded. The Journal
feels that it is doing the greatest pos
sible service to the loyal citizens of
Wisconsin in putting these articles
before them. Everybody will want to
read these articles. To do so you will
be obliged to subscribe for the Mill
waukee Journal to read these articles.

will add TO the comfort of the soldier
during cold weather. We know that
many soldiers use tobacco and they
also use liquor. We consider the use
injurious. If you are going to urge
the raising of funds for one you may
just as we'll urge the raising Of funds
for the other. The drinking of liquor
by soldiers, is prhibited by the Army
Regulations, because it depreciates
the soldier for the service he must
render his country. The tobacco he
uses is not considered so injurious but
the soldier is better off if he doesn't
use tobacco in any form. His physi-
cal condition is much better off with
out tobacco than with.
Perhaps the great interest mani
tested in raising of funds for the
purchase of tobacco, is to increase the
sale by larger use of tobacco. If this
is the motive it is a good one for the
producer and the salesman. Supply
ing the soldiers with large quantities
of tobacco may have the tendency of
encouraging the use Of it by young
men entering the service who have
never used it before. Is it advisable
to urge the raising of funds for this
purpose? We don't think it is.

President Wilson Right

Eevry American has read President
Wilson's answer to the Pope's peace
note with q great deal of interest and
they are of one opinion and that is,
that he is perfectly right n his de-
cision. The American people went
into this war because they could not
help themselves. Having decided to
go into it, they have gone in with a
full knowledge of the great undertak-
ing that is before them in favoring
q universal democracy for the world
and for universal and lasting peace.
The U. S. government does not want
more territory, neither is she grasp
ing for larger trade, or revenue. She
favors universal democracy, and bet
ter condition for all mankind. Her
desires and demands are for higher
ideals" and conditions for all the
people without any reference to coun-
try, creed or conditions. Now that the
u. s. is in the war, peace can only be
brought about by the consent of all
warning countries to these conditions.
When Germany and her allies decide
to meet these conditions then univer-
sal peace will reign.

The man with competency for
life, with enough to educate his chill

enough to burden him with cares, is
richer than all of the boodleaires on

years spent in the companionship of

You can imagine what man can be
thinking of who will purposely and
willfully buy bucket of beer and give
it to another who is on the blacklist,
because he cannot control his appe-
tite? Albert Hoffman a painter plead
guilty to such an offense before just
ice E. N. Pomainville and was fined
So and costs amounting to $50. A
fine is really no punishment for such
an ffense, Imprisonment is what should
be delt out for such offences.

productive Of results. CAS- the result
