Stop Crying About the War!

Many mothers are making matters much
worse by weeping day in and day out about their
sons. War is bad enough without adding any ex-
ira sorrow before anything has actually hap
pened. Anna Steese Richardson quotes in the
October Woman's Home Companion from let
ter written to her. The writer of the letter says
Like most mothers who have given sons to
their country, 60 out when can to divert my

Patriotic Enthusiasm a National Asset

The frequent expression of patriotic senti-
ment at this time heartens and encourages those
in authority, and is of the greatest value to the
man behind the gun.
Our country needs more than loyalty from its
citizens. It needs patriotic enthusiasm:
They have demonstrated their loyalty and
support of the government in this war in most
practical way. They have oversubscribed the
great war loan. They have approved the most
extraordinary appropriations ever asked by any
government They have filled the ranks of the
Volunteer army. They have accepted and are
obeying the selective draft law.
They have accepted food regulation meas
ure and other drastic laws demanded by the war
situation with all the inequalities and unfair dis
ordinations that result from such hurried legis-
ation
They stand ready to furnish anything further
that may be needed to conduct the war to a sue
cessful conclusion.
But individually many of them still refuse to
take the war seriously, and are utterly lacking in
patriotic fervor and enthusiasm.
Their attitude seems to be that we are so rich,
and SO strong, that, with the allies, are sure
to win, and hence there is no need to show more
than passive interest in the war and it's prob
lens.
This is unfortunate for in withholding active
patriotic enthusiasm, they are denying their
country most valuable asset in time of war.
The soldier to do his best must know that the
hearts of his countrymen are beating for him and
with him. not coldly or indifferently but warmly,
ardently.
He needs to know that he is not merely a
hired man, that he stands for noble sentiment
among his people back home, that he has not only
their approval but their enthusiastic and patriot
ic moral support.-The Public Bulletin.

The already intensive programme

The already intensive programme for the citizen 8 training school at Fort Logan H. Roots has been further frightened with the close of the school less than one month away and extra effort is being crowded on to show good results from the 90-day training period. Students of the artillery branches are getting first-hand in struction from members of the crack First Iowa Battalion. while the men of cavalry and infantry branches are putting fin the scheduled hours under the regular post instructors. The present month is regarded as the fore the school is closed on Auguat II.
 Close observers of military affairs expect excellent results from the Fort Roots Camp The physical ht ness of the officers trained here will be proved beyond doubt by their sticking through" the 90-day ordeal, while the thoroughness of the instruc- tion will account for the technical side of it. The magnitude of the task undertaken by Maj. Gowen and his stan is shown by the fact that the school has undertaken to complete in 90 days time work ordinarily ae- complished at West Point in four years. The success so far attained attests to the care exercised by the War Department in planning .hc camps.
