HELPING WIN THE WAR
Advice to Americans Between the
Ages of 16 and Fl.

Advice to Americans Between the
Ages of 16 and Fl.
This is letter to the fortunate
ones who, 10 years from now, will be
enjoying the Denents of what all fu
ture histories will call the Great War
You (the girls of sweet sixteen and
slightly upward and the boys who are
getting ready to vote) will know
more about this war when you are
plump and middle-aged than any one
can possibly know this year.
When the dust has cleared away
and the large events OF the war can
be seen from distance then you
will understand that the issues in
volved had to be fought out, that the
United States had to take part, that
the task we are now undertaking had
to be accomplished.
Let us hope that each of you can
say, 20 years from now, Il was young
at the time but | knew what the war
meant, and helped
Not all of the heroes are in the
trenches.

George Danss.

George Dauss, the Detroit Tiger
pitcher, would be one of the leading
hurlers of the American league if he
had more confidence. Dauss is the
sort of player who is never sure of
his skill and is usually inclined to
underrate himself. AS it is he won
eighteen games for the Tigers last
season and with more confidence and
perhaps a dash of the swell-head he
might have won twenty-five.
If someone could inoculate Dauss
over night with the sort of germs
that throw out the chest and swell
the head he would startle the base
ball public with his brilliance.
George is no longer a green kid at
the game and he has been around big
league parks long enough to know
that the lad with the self is
the one who usually reaches the top.
