MUST HELP CARRY TIE LOAD"
 |SSL0CAN bYELLA FLACG YOUNG
(speciaI to The Reoublican)

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20.--Ella Flagg Young, former superintendent of the Chicago public schools, and one Of Americas foremost thinkers and writers, has prepared the following ar ticle, For My CounJry's Service" In il she points out clearly the paramount duty of every person to do his or her bit in aiding to win the war, particu- larly in assisting in floating the sec ond Liberty loan bond issue, for which a drive is now being made throughout the country.
 T must help carry the load" is the sentiment she suggests all should voice. The sirens song so often hummad in the American ear-Cncle' Sam has money; enough and to spare shall not lull me into a state of in- dolence.'
 Mrs. Young has a real, vital mes sage for you, your family, and your neighbors.

filled far beyond it's normal capacity Neither the crowded accommodations nor their extremely high cost give rise to complainings. The women folk of the men enrolled in the military branch of the army are as calm and gentle as the wives of the men belonging to the industrial branch, men who are not going to the trenches or the battle field There is an expression of quiet determination common to all; occa asion- ally a faraway look steals over the face of the soldier, the wife, the father, or the mother. but the indication of sadness is momentary only.
 Not only in Washington and vicin- ity are people saying the final word cheerfu-ly to those who nave answered the call to arms, but wherever camps have been established the American home is extending the hand and say inS "GOdspeed.' Who does not know that at least two motives influence him to an act that is not habitual? And so the onlooker notes two desires in- fiuenclng home folks and comrades: Pre- eminent, the desire to have the last impression on the soldiers mind that of love Cor friendship and confi- dence in his integrity on the mission taking him abroad; subordinate, the

 Visitors return home with a we'll defined idea of the tremendous task of suppiying food and equipment which confronts the government They have better conception of the possibilities of hunger and weakness in their sol dler boys, and of defeat for the army AmeTica sends to France and Belgium unless the government proves equal to meeting this extraordinary demand on the resources of the country.
 The supreme effort of patriotism that with a 'Godspeed" bade sons and husbands go forth to battle; :he clearer comprehensions of the problems of ; food and equipment that confront the government, both will be worse than worthless if fathers. mothers, children and friends do not make strenuous en- deavor to help bear the material. the financial burden. We must each and all say, T must help carry the load. The sirens song so often hummed in the American ear-Uncle Sam has money; enough and to spare-shall not lull me into a state of indolence." The effort and the comprehension failing to make one put the shoulder to the wheel are worse than worthless. be- cause the moral fiber is weakened when a deep emotion is combined with an intellectual insight and the combination results in nothing
 Sometimes we hear it said thai money is the root of all evil The speaker quotes incorrectly.

DORT |S GIVEN
 ECONOMY MARK

A final checking of the records of the observers and the final report of c. F. Stephens, technical representa- tive on the contest board of the Ameri- can Automobile association, has been made by the association officials in New York, and the Dort is credited with the American economy mark, not only for gasoline but for lubricating oil as we'll.
 In covering 4,65S.4 miles the Dort averaged 2393 miles to a gallon of gasoline and the remarkable average of 17T4.6 miles to a gallon of lubricat- ing oil. Never before in history has such economy been demonstrated. Cars on unofficial runs have made greater mileage on a single gallon of gaso- line than the Dort averaged, but never in a run which included regular tour ing route has any car averaged of ficially the economy mark of the Dort.
 The American Automobile associa- tion has control only over the estab- fishing of American records, but a search of foreign records does not dis close any event in which a car has made an average equal to the Dort's.

Special Dispatch from

This question I put up to Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle. long. n OF the

armored cape for the shoulders and

II expect American inventive
brains will soon find a way of equip
ping the new American armies with
the necessary armor. just rs I believe
they will improve all our methods"
The recent capture on the front in
France Of German soldiers clad in
armor has given special point to the
l~ife-saving spirit in which the allies
have conducted their latest otfensives.
II armor is to be worn. some OBJ
American army would be the logical
one to use it. It is a fresh army. as
yet neither drilled MOI equipped. The
allied armies r already trained and
equipped for fighting in the old way.
I asked Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to
summarize for the EIerald the results
Of his armor Investigations.
There are two sides to it which
make it difficult he said. "On the
one hand it is good for the men to
get over the ground quickly. That
means taking weight OFF. Also, by the
development Of barrages and smoke
protection the infantry advance has
already been made less dangerous.
THE other side. body protection
would unquestionably reduce cas-.
ualties in a still greater degree. Al
least SO per cent of the wounds are
preventable by armor.
"Such armor. however. could not
weigh less than 35 to 40 pounds
Therefore. you must reduce weight II
other ways. You can do n of two
things.
First. let each fighting man have
a squire who carries for him. and
comes up from the ear as occasion
serves. This ma would also be in
armor. but the rest of the fighting
mans normal burden would thus bs
divided between two men. Or YOU
might have special munition carrying
tanks carry the fighters spare thfngs
now hung upon the men themselves
and keep the men supplied while un.
der heavy fire.
Second. you might try to take of
weight in other ways by the elimina'
ton Of certain equipment, Yor
might, for example. discard rifles anG
hayonets with the 100 rounds usual,
carried. and substitute for them auto
matte pistols with rife stocks. These
will shoot true up to 500 yards"
