Photographers Play Part in Great War
Like the camera is the recorder OF
history, in this great world war, so
the photographer is called on to play
his part, too. The young American
owes it to mother and father to leave
with them portrait Of himself as he
was when his country called. The
photographs our boys leave behind
them will become invaluable with time,
and be the source of many joyous
minutes to mother and dad in the
evenings alone, to come.

encies in France is in the hands Of
the United States. We of this coun-
trv must help rehabilitate that coun-
try. We must help her orphans, her
widows, and we must put her IN al
position to produce ard to become
self-supporting.
"Yet, am glad to sa- that the feel
ing among our American people is
lax. They do not realize the depth
to the terribleness of this war.
"America's entering the war is the
deciding factor, and on the United
States is going to rest the brunt OF
it's burden"
Herbert G.. Hoover, who was IN.
troduced by Mr.. Taft is the "man OF
| the hour" spoke on the situation in
J France.
i "France faces an untold destruction
of property, a total displacement OF
population and enormous loss of hui
man life and Of man power animals
and Instruments" said Mr.. Hoover.
Il "Altogether there is total of 81
100000 people unable to get back or
their feet without help.
"To estimate the sums needed tt
J rehabilitate the devasted portions Of
France t get her necessary i'm
, plements to put her on basis where
She will be able to produce and tt
!, help herself would be to name ever
larger amounts than we are now do
ing but may say that in France wht
is sacrificing her manhood to thu
cause of liberty there is abundan
outlet to all of the generosity Of thu
American nation"
Pandemonium broke loose whe1
Mr.. Taft prophesied Germany's down
fall.
Germany has deliberately antag
onized this country when we can fur
nish more money, more resources
and more men than any other coun
try on the globe" said Mr.. Taft.
He deplored the fact that Americ;
did not think enough about the wa
before it came. He said the tim
must come when an American will
consider anything but the war Incl
dental instead Of now when the.
consider the war ''incidental".
