SHALL WE HAVE ANOTHER WAR?

"An idea prevails among many OF
our citizens that the peace with Eng
land will, not be Of long duration-that
her jealousy of and hostility towards
this country will 1mpen her once more
and not at very distant day to huri
the gauntlet in our teeth and to open
wide again the temple of Janus.
fondly hope these anticipations are
unfounded, I fondly hope that Eng
land will understand her true inter-
ests better-that she will allow US to
spread the mantle of oblivion over the
injuries we have received; and that
she will cultivate our friendship by
kindness and a reciprocation OF the
good offices and charities Of the libe-
raj intercourse, distacted by a sound
policy, and her vital interests. The
hideous wounds that; our national
pride, our honor, our independence
and dearest rights have received, deep
and fostering as they are, may be
made cicatrize in them. We may
and will, forget that we once were
foes but this depends on herself en-
tirely."

NUNS WASH FOR U. s. SAILORS

Base American Flotillas, British Waters, l- (Mail Correspondence)- Cloister nuns, in a home for Sisters of the Good Shepherd near the base from which the American flotillas are operating against German sub marines, have been doinga thriving laundry business among the blue jackets. Through the intercession of two of their devoted women friends with the American consul and Vice-Admiral Sims, the nuns obtai.led permission to receive any work the American naval men were willing to turn over to them. When the jack tars learned that this was virtually the only means of support the secluded women had, they at once showed an eagerneSs to aid. As a result, there has been a grow ing laundry list each week.
 Although the nuns have been de- voting many hours daily to this work, they never see the young Am ericans who have been so gener- ous in their patronage. The laun- dry is sent to the convent in motor launches from the American de- stroyers as they return from pa trol duty. The blueiackets de- clare the work is such as to make the modern American laundryman envious and prices are considerably lower than on the other side of the Atlantic. .l,

WORLD WAR REVIEWED
 BY GERMAN DEPUTY

Amsterdam, Aug. - During the patriotic celebration in the Ger man reichstag, Deputy Loringhoven, reviewing the three years of the war, is quoted by Yorwaerts as saying:
 If, nevertheless, these unexam- pied German successes. which in earlier time would long ago have brought peace, have not carried us any further, it is because the gen. eral world political and economical situation operates only in favor of our enemies who have been able to enlist help from their eVer-growing number of allies. This aid has en- abled them to carry on the war un- til the present day and so it has come about that our soldiers have been cheated out of the fruits of their victories"

ASKS RED CROSS
 FUR DRESSINGS

Washington, Aug. 12. - Cor respondence)-At the request CT William C. Braisted, Surgeon Gen eral or the United States Navy, the American Red Gross has called upon ten of the larger chapters or the society nearest New York to supply at the earliest possible mo- ment surgical dressings for each or 1SS battleships and destroyers. Each ship will require thousands or compresses and bandages, the en- tire consignment making a total of more than six hundred thousand surgical dressings.
 The surgical dressings are to be prepared by the women workers 1n the Red Cross Chapters of Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York; Atlanta, Boston and the Northeast ern Division, these chapters being chosen because their proximity to New York will expedite delivery. It is expected to fill the order within the next ten days.
 Women qualified in the various chapters to make surgical dressings are working night and day for the rapid completion of the work. Only women who have taken the Red Cross course in the making of these bandages are eligible to en- gage in the work.
 With the declaration of war there has been B rapid increase in the number of women taking the ked Cross surgical dressing courses. In June 4,144 certificates were issued to women who had taken the course of eight lessons of three hours each, and in the first ten days of July, 1279 certificates were issued.
 Each chapter will supply the bat tleship named after that particular state and others in which they knight have a geographical interest Thus Chicago will supply the lChicago and the Illinois. New York will supply the New York ant 1 the Albany. These boxes as com lpleted will be shipped by chapters direct to the Bush Terminal at New York for distribution to the ships.
