Building Morale
Of Jewish Troops

No more effective work toward
maintaining the highest morale
among the American troops has been
done by war organization than by
the Jewish Welfare board, which is
engaged in its task Of keeping up the
lines Of communication between the
Jewish men in the trenches and the
training camps and the folks back
home.
Believing that in the struggle of
morale against "kultur" the Ameri-
can army has every advantage that
will insure success, the Jewish organ
ization is making its chief issue the
stiffening Of mental and moral fibre
among the soldiers Of the Hebrew
faith. The call for workers is urgent
and rabbis, professional men, jour
nalists, social workers and others are
entering the service Of the Jewish
Welfare Board to make up the 400
workers needed to fill the ranks.

Draft Calls
Going Out Again

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.--Draft
calls, suspended three weeks ago be-
cause Of the influenza epidemic, now
are going out again IN certain zones
where the surgeon-general's office
has decided it is safe to send the men
to environments. The localities and
the exact number Of men will not be
announced for the present.
The October program is understood
to provide for the induction of about
100000 men, and the number not
called out during the remaining days
of the month will be added to sue
ceeding monthly quotas, all being
called as quickly as precautions for
safety will permit. The largest sim
gle call suspended was for 100000
men, who we're to have entrained on
October 14th.

Quaker City Has
Many Women
In War Work

More women are employed m war
work in and near Philadelphia than
in any other part Of the United
States, according to James F. Mccoy,
an official connected with the Phila-
delphia Office Of the United States
department Of labor,
"The Pennsylvania railroad now
has $500 girls in its service, and the
Frankfort arsenal 1900. There are
1900 at the schuylkill arsenal, and
the DUPONT powder plant, which has
now several hundred girls at work,
has been adding them at the rate of
about 100 week. There are many
smaller plants in the locality that
employ from 80 to 100 women EACH"
The demand for women, he reports,
is steadily increasing.

the police work under the proposed

Secretary Daniels explained today
that he had not abandoned his views
as to the limitation Of ornaments af-

process. He pointed out that the
league Of nations idea had not been
officially accepted by the allies.

AMERICA TURNS THE TIDE.
BY William P. Cantwell.


! wonder If the kaiser thinks we're
nutty
That we can not back up just what
we say?
| wonder if he thinks we're made Of
putty.
That he can mold and make us see
his way?
| wonder if he thinks he's really
wiser
Than he who we have made our
guiding star?
II SO, well, must holler: Mr.. Kaiser.
You may well drop your playthings
where you are"
America has turned the tide Of battle.
Her sons have shown the world
how she can fight;
They've caused the kaiser's wisdom
teeth to rattle,
And shown him how the devil dogs
can bite;
They're rolling up his hordes all N a
bundle.
They're sealing 'em and packing
'em up nice,
So Bill had better find his little
trundle,
For we can say "The game Ii now
on ice"
"Well leave our destnies to those
who lead usI
With Pershing's splitter working
all the time
The only thing you've got to do Is
feed US,
And well make Billy pay up FOR
his crimesp'
That seems to be tn eslogan Of our
ladies
It's waited to us here across the
main
They're fighting just as hard as did
theft daddies
So we may live in sunshine once
again.

JOHN D. YEARWooD.


The remains of private John D.
Yearwood were brought to Greene
vile Tuesday evening by Lieut.. Bart
ley, U. S. A., and were taken to the
reception rooms of the Mitchell Fur
inture Company over night. Private
Yearwood died at seas on October
10th, on board the U. S. S. Levithan,
after having been out only five days.
His body was placed in handsome
metallic casket, and returned 'on a
homeward bound transport to Ho-
boken, N. j., where they landed
Oct. 18th.
On Wednesday Col Mitchell placed
the body in his funeral car and, ac-
companied by Private Yearwood's
wife and other relatives, it was taken
to Meadow Greek church where a
large concourse Of neighbors and
friends were in waiting. The pastor,
Rev. w. T. Pearman, paid fitting
tribute to this young hero who had
given his life in the service Of his
country as truly as if he had fallen
slain by the bullet Of one of his
country's enemies. His casket was
then wrapped in the flag for which he
had died and borne by young sailors
and soldiers who were at home on
furlough, and then laid to rest under
blanket Of beautiful flowers.

GARBAGE Utilization.

Hogs can be made to utilize much
eatable material which would other
wise be wasted, according to a state
ment issued by the Connecticut Agii-
cultural college. The report calls at
tention to the saving accomplished in
Minneapolis, where between $4,000
and 100000 is saved annually by using
swine to consume the garbage Of the
city instead Of burning 1t. Whereas
Minneapolis formerly operated its
garbage disposal at a loss, the city
now receives s1.26 per ton for its gar
bage as hog feed.

Lloyd Georges
Tribute to Women
Premier's Recognition Of Aid In
War Work Gives Inspiration
To All Who Support the
Allies Cause.

Women in all the allied nations
have been stimulated to new endeav-
ors in patriotic work by the splendid
appreciation paid them by Premier
Lloyd George at the Interallied Wom-
ems Congress in Paris, which he
was unable to attend. He wrote,
however, as follows:
Il am anxious to bear testimony
to the tremendous part played by the
women Of England in this vital epoch
Of human history. They have not
only borne their burden Of sorrow
and separation with unfinching for
titude and patience, but they have
assumed an enormous share of the
burdens necessary to the practical
conduct of the war.
eff it had not been for the splendid
manner in which the women came
forward to work in the hospitals and
munition factories, in administrative
Offices of all kinds, and in war work
behind the lines, often in daily dan
ger Of their lives, Great Britain and,
| believe, all the Allies would have
been unable to withstand the enemy
attacks of the last few months. For
this service to our common cause
humanity owes them unbounded grst
itude.
"In the past have heard it said
that women were unfit to vote be-
cause they would be weak when it
came to understanding the issues of
bearing the strains of a great war.
My experience in South Wales has
confirmed me in the belief that the
women there understand perfectly
what is at stake in this war. | be-
lieve they recognize as clearly as any
that there can be no peace, progress
or happiness in the world 50 long as
the monster of militarism is able to
stalk unbridled and unashamed
among the weaker peoples.
"To them this war is a crusade for
righteousness and gentleness, and
they do not mean to make peace until
the Allies have made it impossible
for another carnival of violence to
befall mankind. am certain that
this resolution Of the women Of
South Wales is but typical Of the
spirit of the women of the rest of
Great, Britain.
"This war began in order that
force and brutality might crush out
freedom among them. It's authors
cannot have foreseen that one of its
effects would be to give women a
commanding position and influence in
the public affairs Of the world. To
their ennobling influence we look not
only for strength to win the war, but
for inspiration during the great work
If reconstruction weswill have to un-
iertake after victory is won.
"The women who have been flock
ing to France to work for the Allies
are among the foremost leaders in
This great movement of regeneration.
My message to their representatives
gathered in Paris is this: We'll done.
Carry on. You are helping to create
i new earth for yourselves and your
