citizens. some fthem babes in arms
lost their lives.
On September 1, 1915, the German
GGyernnent gave assurance to the
United States that liners would not lie
sunk without warming or without pro-
vision for the safety of the lives Of
nonconbatants. Six weeks later the
British steamer Arabic was sunk and
three Americans lost their lives The
German Government promptly disa
vowed the act, but scarcely had the dis

Bulletin No. 20,

More ardent than any other patriot,
more loyal and downright than any
srown-up can be. are the children of ii
community. To schoolloys and school
girls thing either is, or it isn't. They
don't split hairs like their elders; they
neither pussyfoot nor bubble nor have
conscientious scruples.
1t Is SO when school children talk
about the war-as they all do. They
raise no futile question of whether it
was right for America to get into the
war; they know we are right, because
we are in. They know that because we
are in we are going to win.

things eight months ago and done
them the present position of Russia.
would have been diffrent"
