JULY FOURTH in WAR TIME.
Now is Time for Old Time Rouse
ments That Shall Stir up
American Spirit.

For the first time since the Civil
war, the United States must celebrate
it's birthday in war period threat
|ening the very life of the nation.
The Spanish war covered the July
Fourth period but it was compare
lively but toy conflict.
From all over the country there
Icome reports of different July
Fourth plans. 1t is manifestly in
|opportune to burn up perfectly good
powder that later will be needed to
discharge at the Germans. Also in
time of high cost food and war taxes,
it is not wise to burn up any build
lings in July Fourth fires.
The fact that the owners of these
buildings are insured is immaterial
Some one has to pay for insurance
We all settle the bill in the costs OF
our policies, and if we rent houses
we pay il the landlords bill. Furth.
Iermore, a general free for all for
bonfres would give opportunity to
the spies and plotters who are look
ing for a chance to destroy some
thing. Give the firemen a rest for
|once They have worried over the
July Fourth risks ever since they
were on the job.
With SO much real sorrow coming,
lit is not necessary to play war by
killing off or manning any of our
children with toy pistols or giant
fire crackers. Our patriotism can be
equally well displayed by working
lin the garden, buying Liberty bonds
letc
1t is just the time for old time
Irousements that shall stir up Amer

heroes of the old wars who gave
their lives for the Liberty we are
now trying to defend. These exercises
should depend on volunteer effort so
far as possible, which is amply avail
able for a demonstration of patrio-
ltic feeling.

THE RE- CORSS AS AN INVEST
MENT.
Human Losses of the War Doubled
II by Lack of Adequate Medical
b Facilities.

The big drive for Red Cross funds
has been promoted largely on the
basis. of humanitarian motives. 1t
has been entitled on these consider
atoms to every dollar 1t can raise
and far more. But that does not COW
er the whole story. The proper care
of our wounded and sick is BUSH
ness investment for the country.
The human losses of war are dou-
bled by the lack Of adequate medical
facilities. The fatalities Of the Civil
war AID the Spanish war were enor-
mously increased by disease and lack
of modern treatment of wounds. 1t
was in the Russo-Japanese war that
the armies first began to gain a new
reinforcement by correct treatment
of their wounded.
The fighting powers Of Europe
look at their wounded not merely
from the viewpoint Of humanitarian
ism. They recognize in these dis
abled men a potential fighting force
of great strength. The. vast major
ity Of them are saved through good
medicine and surgery.
A big proportion find their way
back to- the trenches as good as ever.
Even though all this is fully realiz-
ed, yet the exigencies of war leave
many gaps to be filed. More nurses,
more doctors, more supplies, more
hospitals, are always needed. Thou
sands are constantly dying who with
better attention could be saved.
The families who are sending
their own boys to the trenches keen
ly realize this. There will be no
stint of Red Cross contributions
from these circles. The business
world should also see it. If we lose
twice as many men from wounds as
need be, the productive force of our
country is needlessly crippled for
a generation. The Red Cross is a
business proposition, and it Is a
military proposition, as we'll as one
of humanitarian sentiment.
