Number Three

Hello, Uncle Dan, Jimmie and l have been waiting for you.''
 Sorry If have kept you long," said Uncle Dan. Your mother has been telling me how bashful l used to be. She said if a girl spoke to me l would blush to my hair roots. Well. re- minded her of the time your father first came to see her and the joke we played on them. so I guess that will hold her for a while.r
 Continuing, Uncle Dan said: "You want to talk more about the war, do you? Well, war methods have under gone many changes and they are still changing. No two wars are fought alike. In early times, the weapons were stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows, swords, etc. In this kind of warfare, victory was with the strong right arln Men of enormous size and strength were the great warriors. The inven- ton of gunpowder, however, has changed all this. It has enabled men to kill one another at considerable distance, and do it wholesale. The war, as we know it now, is a combina- ton of chemicals, machinery, mathe- matical calculations and highly trained men. Just think of it Airplanes, submarines, armored tanks, or cater pillars, poison gases. and curtains of fire are all used for the first time in this war; and they are destructive be- yond anything heretofore known.
 "The methods followed by the kali ser and his allies are simply devilish. He must answer in history to the kill ing of thousands of innocent women and children. He has broken every international law and every rule of warfare; he has bombarded hospitals and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross ships oB errands of mercy; he has de- stroyed cathedrals and priceless treas tres of art that can never be replaced; :; he has made slaves of his prisoners {; he has tried to get us into war with Japan; his emmissaries have blown up our ships, burned our factories and fired our forests. He knows no mercy or honor. The most charitable view to take of this od-thirsty tyrant is that he is crazy.
 "One thing is certain" continued Un- cle Dan, with great emphasis, "Our liberty, the safety of our homes and our country, and the security of the world demand the speedy and abso- lute overthrow of sae kaiser and crushing out once and forever the reign of Prussian brutality"
 "How about the German people" :" said Billie.
 Uncle Dan replied: "The splendid German people were happy thrifty, prosperous and contented. They have been tricked into war and made to suffer the tortures of the damned i; they have been cruelty and systematic ally deceived. God grant that the real facts may get 10 them, and if they do, Lord help the kaiser -
 "Of course the allies will win" said Mrs. Graham,
 Probably SO" said Uncle Dan. ''But l if we are to win, we must go the limit. We must check the awful destruction to shipping by the German submarines, or we may not be able to get food and supplies to our own mensand to our al- | lies; we must also put hundreds of thousands. and perhaps millions, of first-elass soldiers in the battle line. Food is the first consideration. Un- cle Dan continued No army ean hold
 . that food will win the war, and thi. is
