give away free meals, but, at the same
time, we hope to supply our meals at
such prices as will be real help"
Expressing her confidence that this
East End example would be followed
throughout the country, the wife of
the premier welcomed over 200 first

HERE'S A NOBLE EXAMPLE
FOR AMERICAN FATHERS

PARIS, May 5.-If the world war
drags on until American youths have
fought and fallen in France, American
fathers can listen to the example set
for them by Sergeant Jean Gaglio, the
62-year-old poilu of the Third Zou-
ayes.
His grey hair showing under the tas-
sled red fez of the famous African
regiment, which has fought from the
campaign of Tunis to Verdun, Sergeant
Gagiio is today somewhere in France"
still getting vengeance from the enemy
for the death of his 21-year-old son.
When the war commenced the son
marched away with his fathers old
regiment, the Third Zouaves. Before a
rlonth had passed the son occupied a
soldiers grave in Belgium.
The news soon reached the father.
Without hesitation the red pants and
the red fez of the Zouaves were donned
by the aged Gaglia, and he hurried di-
rect to the old regiment to fill the very
place left vacant by the German bull
let which took his only boy.
Five war medals today hang on the
old mans breast. Defying the enemy
and death hundreds of times, Gaglo has
taken toll for his loss and his medals
! are evidence. He never takes them off.
Seriously wounded in the French as
sault at Tracy le-val, he was carried to
hospital. Surgeons shook their heads
and ordered his immediate discharge
from the army. But the old poilu
mastered his wounds and demanded the
privilege of retaking his place in the
line.
Gagio rejoined his regiment when
the German hordes of the crown prince
we're throwing their full force toward
Verdun. He is one of those men
whose names will live immortal in
France for having stemmed the Ger
man tide.
After Fort Vauz had fallen the old
soldiers regiment was transferred to
/ the defense of the works of Thiaumont
and the village of Fleury. The furious
struggle here for days was the talk
of the world Gaglio was in it all. 1t
won him the rank of sergeant. 1t also
gave him the Medaille Militaire, the
fifth evidence of bravery to grace his
tunic. Here is how the army order
spoke of Gaglio:
Engaged in the regiment to replace
his son who has been killed by the
enemy. Has never ceased to give the
greatest example of courage and alb
lnegation and to show his white hair in
the first ranks. Wounded, he has
gained the rank of corporal in Feb
ruary at Louvemont and that of ser
geant in the heavy fighting at F1eury."
I Gaglio is still at the Germans get
ting more revenge for the death OF
that son.

THE DUTY OF AMERICA.

No one can deny that the situation
in Russia is serious. 1t may mean a
breakdown of the new government
with the fearful consequence OF inter-
mai bloodshed and rioting. Under
these conditions the great nation would
be only a babe for severe attack at
tie hands of the Central Empires. This
would increase the task of the Entente
Allies, besides involving immeasur-
able tasks for the United States. The
provisional government of Russia is
anti-German. This can safely be said
in view of the developments which led
IIp to the overthrow of Nicholas Rom
anoff, and the later edicts to the En-
tente, whereby they pledged undying
faith to their comrades in arms.
The maneuvering of the Teuton in
Russia is a serious menace to the
present government. 1t was a power
full factor in the years of the dynasty
OF Nicholas. 1t was the scheming and
intriguing of the Germans which caus-
ed the calamity and end of General
Brusiloff's drive into Austria Hungary.
With Russia maintaining the pact
with the Entente, the task remains for
gigantic undertakings. The United
States is moving fast, and the selection
OF Elihu Root to head the commission
from this nation was greeted with gen
eral pleasure.
Hundreds and thousands of skilled
railroad men and scientific geniuses in
Industry will soon embark for Russia,
il they are not already on their way.
Should the provisional government con-
tinue in power, the commission from
America will be greeted with out
stretched arms. On the other hand
the weakening of the present official
staff will seriously deter the maximum
and highly efficient work of the Amer
leans.
1t is because of these conditions, the
future of which no one can foresee,
that America faces a problem-the
most stupendous in the history of the
nation.
With Russia perfecting a separate
peace with Germany, it opens up her
unlimited natural resources to the ex-
pioitations of the Teutons. The gran
aries of the Great Bear will furnish
foodstuffs for the Teutons, and the
mines will be utilized to bring the
railway system of Germany back to
normal The United States sees this,
and these are the main reasons which
are prompting supreme appeal to all
America for unity and super-human
strength to quickly prepare this ma
ton for the great war.
America cannot fully prepare to do
her best while her citizenship is halt
ine and hesitating in speculation on
what Russia will do; what will hap
pen in Germany, and the separation of
Bulgaria, or Turkey from the Triple
Alliance.
The task of the United States is stu
pendous, and every citizen is expected
to do his duty. There should be de-
cision by every citizen-and unified
nation will mean a glorious victory.
