ALL ENERGIES DEVOTED
To WINNING THE WAR.

eff I have overlooked anything
that ought 10 be done for the more
effective conduct of the war, your
own counsels will supply the omis-
sion. What I am perfectly clear
about is that in the present session
Of the congress our whole attention
ard energy should he concentrated
on the vigorous. rapid, and success
full prosecution of the great task Of
winning the war.
I'VE can do this with ali the
greater zeal and enthusiasm because
We know that, for us this is a war
Of high principle. debased by no
selfish ambition OF conquest or
spoliatiOn; because we know. and
all the world knows. that we have
been forced into it 10 save the very
institutions we live under from cor
rUption and destruction. The pur-
poses of the central powers strike
straight at the heart Of everything
We believe in: their methods Of war
fare outrage every principle of hui
Tlanity and of knightly honor: their
intrigue has corrupted the very
thought and spirit Of many OF our
people, their sinister and secret
diplomacy has sought TO take our
very territory away from us and
disrupt the Union OF the states. Our
safety would be at an end, our honor
forever sullied and brought into
contempt were we 10 permit their
triumph They are striking at the
very existence OF democracy and
liberty.

The advisory board members are optimistic over the device expected soon to be entered in comtat against the submarines.

 Correction of errors of the magnetic compass had become so cumbersome that even scientifically trained ma riners and pilots often would be off course thirty miles at the end of a voyage. The gyroscopic compass is in- dependent of magnetism, and indeed, is said to require the strength of two strong ta if cii fixing the direction

 The story of Sperrys achievements is a romance in the history of American inventors.

THE MUNICIPAL TICKET

In another column is published the

purpose of naming candidates for the
municipal offices to be filled at the
election on the oath inst

HOW, WHAT AND WHY

We find nowhere a broader, better,
stronger summing up of the present
position of the United States on the
world war-of our cause, our duty and
our purpose-than the following from
the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) "Republi-
cam"
1t had to come-and it has come at
last. America, too, Will draw the
sword, become a part of the confla-
grafton that has been consuming the
world. 1t is not by our will, but by
our destiny. 1t has from no hatred of
nation or race, but from our love of
the enernal principles in which our
government was founded, to which
Lincoln dedicated our nation and
which remain the living principles of
the American people until this day.

DECEIVED INTO THINKING
HE HAD THE VICTORIAN CROSS

London, April William Richard
Campbell, a driver in the Australian
Army suffered the deep humiliation of
trial by court martial as a fake hero,
because of a forged letter from the
Decorations Department naming him
for the coveted Victoria Cross, for
bravery.
Sergeant Leake. a real V. C. hero,
helped in obtaining Campbelrs acquit-
tai with an impassioned plea on Camp
bells mOdesty while he believed him
self to be the legitimate recipient of
the honor.
Campbell was feted by the town of
Wareham and presented with an ad-
dress by the mayor before rumors cir
culated casting doubt on his right to
the honor. In surrendering the rib
bon he said he suspected his enemies
in the corps of playing a trick on him.
Soldiers attending the hearing
cheered several minutes over Camp
bells acquittal.

The things at stake are greater anG
holier than the technical and palpabl,
violations of our rights at sea, these
( indeed have provoked us and tsirre(
us and they are the ostensible bases
of our present attitude and action
but back of these are super-motives
and super-objects and super-aims and
suger-hopes. The greater truth is
that the world has reached one of the
great turning points in human his
tory. Men are the puppets and nations
the participants and armies the instru-
ments of a struggle that is like that
of Armageddon, engulfing the whole
world.
The die is cast. Let us be of one
mind. of one purpose and of one pa
triotism. Whatever difference may
have existed among us, whether ra-
cial or political, let them be forgiven
and forgotten. The call is now to
Americans of all bloods, of all faiths
and of all sections. And in the end,
we believe that the sacrifices we may
be called upon to make, the blood we
may shed and the wealth we may sac
rifice, will bless us all. We have been
prosperous, we have grown fat and
proud and Indifferent to the high
er ideals-this war may arouse us
and this war may give us the new
birth of patriotism, and not only of
patriotism service to our country, but
service to ourselves and to our fell
be born in America and we may
strive for newer ends and for the
things that are the greater glory
whether of men or of nations.
And finally, and always. let us hope
if we may not pray that our en-
trance will be the means of bringing
the world war to a speedier conclu-
sion and that in the councils of peace
we may use our influence for the
more equitable adjustment Of the diff !
ferences between the nations, without
our own direct participation in the |
territorial and racial questions of Eur
OPo- A"@l Jul emu alCS, lldl our par
ticipation may glorify our nation by
a world-duty nobly met and bravely
done and that it may help those who
are distressed night unto death to
come into peace quickly-these are
our hopes and these are also among
the ends that we have in view as a
nation in the action that destiny has
forced upon us.

which they have formed sometimes
number as many as n million women.
They take great delight in the perfec-

comes from the stimulus and the edu-
cation they get from their %organiza-

But these organizations, IL should be
noted, are voluntary, writes Ida M.

are directed TO some purpose which
appeals particularly to the group.

There Is considerable advantage In

cold weather makes expenses some
what heavier unless the farmstead is
well arranged for comfort, both for

Farmers readily recognize that after
hard freezes the soil is in better con

GAY HUES PREVAIL
Some Petticoats Match Trimming
of the Millinery or Gown.
Many Women Refuse to Discard Gar
ment Despite Coming Of Narrow
Skirt Into Fashion Again.

Petticoats are said to be going out of
fashion because narrow skirts are com
Ing into fashion again. Nevertheless,
there are many women who will never
be prevailed upon. style or 10 style, to
discard the most feminine garment of
the wardrobe.
For them have been provided many
charming models Of soft silks and of
chiffon taffetas. These materials dc
not q any perceptible bulk TO the
silhouette, while they give just enough
backing or foundation to the dress to
preserve the original lines.
The black petticoat is a rarity. One
no longer considers the extremely prac-
fical phase of dress, but regards Ii
more or less of n duty to wear cheerful
clothes. If purple and scarlet, green
and yellow are too pronounced for out
er habiliments, then they may be mere
~ glimpsed beneath the tailored skirt
or the trotteur of serge or satin.
L is n pretty idea to have the petit
coat match the trimming of the MILL
merry or of the gown, If the latter shows
g8rniture of n contrasting color.
Some women have the petticoat of n
color corresponding with the hosiery
questionable taste TO extend its jubi-
liant note TO the ankles and thereby
practically destroy the charming effect
OF the color suggestion in the under
garment.
