THE HEART OF WOMAN.

In large letters across entire page
advertisements in the metropolitan
dailies have appeared the question:
Mothers, daughters and wives OF
men, have you no hearts Readily,
! 1t will be seen that the present war
situation causes the propaganda from
the Emergency Peace organization in
an effort to stop war with Germany.
The ends of their purpose serve our
enemy. regardless of the true Amer
ioanism which their citizenships might
reveal.
But the heart of woman is as war
like as the patriotism of man. She
does not want war, but if it must
come then she will enter the conflict
| - serve her husband, brother and
sweetheart at home and on the. field
t. insure victory and the freedom of
her land.
But, answering this page advertise
ment the Philadelphia Record. gives
vent to these noble sentiments at the
pro-Germans:
oh, yes; the mothers, wives
and daughters of American men
have hearts. and their hearts were

men and children, as well as of

men, when the Lusitania was sunk,
and for the many men lost on a
long list of vessels since that time,
many of which were under the
American flag, and they have
hearts for the American women
killed when the Laconia was
sunk. and for Americans who
have been obliged to take to small
boats in rough weather, 300 miles
from land. American women
have hearts, and they demand that
the war of submarines on non
combatants shall cease, and they
are eager as they always have
been to have their sons; husbands
and fathers do their duty to their
country, and suppress lawless-
ness and savagery. Incidentally,
the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs of the United States,
with a membership of 100000,
has pledged itself to the aid of the
Red Cross in the event of war"

THE WHATCHlMA COLUMN
By George Martin



Tipping is habit, necessity and a
damnable outrage engendered by a
germ. The germ is employed by hotels
mostly; and is known by various
names such as bellboy, hat checker
waiter, etc
This germ is bred and reared in
uniform. 1t attacks all ages and con-
ditions of men alike. 1t feeds on
small change; and it's appetite is con-
stantly improving.
Tipping is a nexample of something
for nothing. You give the tip germ
something. He gives you nothing. And
if you don't give him something, next
time you go there he gives you ess
than he gave you in the first place.
The tip germ is everywhere and in
everything in a hotel There is only
one thing around a hotel you mustn't
tip That's your soup plate. 1t ISM
polite to do that.

WASHINGTON, April approx
mately one in ten of all the babies
born in the United States dies before

today in connection with National Baby

adds:

gree of vigor in the survivors. Now
it is agreed that the conditions which

Two thousand, one hundred COM
munities have reported to the Chill

ed attention to the need of protecting
their babies. This bulletin may be
had by addressing the bureau, which
continues:
The United States includes l4,18e
Incorporated cities, towns and villages
and it is doubtful if among the thous-
ands which have never had Baby
Day or Baby Week theer is a single
town or village which would not profit
from such a campaign.

MORE ENEMIES SOON.

1t is not at all unlikely, and more
than probable that the allies of Ger
many will sever relations with the
United States within fortnight if our
government does not move first. 1t is
hardly possible for the United States
to be at war with Germany and not
with the entire legion of Teutons,
Turks and Bulgars. An example of
unofficial war now on is between Ger
many and Italy, who have only for
saken diplomatic relations. Still,
Italian soldiers are battling with Ger
mans on their front, while host of the
Italian fighters combat the Germans in

There is no such thing as looking

OF President Wilson are not surpris-

That displays their ignorance of our
government. The President has spok-
en- because the people desired. The
declaration of war by Congress is a
formality, for war is declared by the
people of the United States.
The matter of sinking American
ships and numbering American citi-
zens may be localized by some debat-
ers of the situation. But there is no
way to avoid the plots of Germany
which affect every citizen of the Unit
ed States. They send their spies to
plot against friendly nation" They
confess their duplicity by their con-
duct.
In this connection, too, there can be
no pro-Germans now who hold the cit

words of the Christ ring with a divine
resonance-"He that is not for Me is
against Me-" The same for the Unit

is strength--and there must be unity
When war comes the past is obliterat-

should be the purpose.
