the dialogue that follows has been told
often. But it bears re-telling.
what are YOU doing in this
ward?" asked the chaplain.
The soldier did not answer for a
moment. Then he replied, Another
minister was in here yesterday, and
he asked me the same question. When
] told him of my hopeless state, he
said, You better get yourself shipped
OF to France and leave your body
over thereP Today the surgeon told
me could not go overseas. I am not
even good enough to die for my
country"
Just now there is a more pressing
responsibility than dying. There Is
the responsibility to LIVE.
In these days of rehabilitation and
of weary waiting the soldier must take
as good care of their bodies as they
did when they wanted to be good
enough to DIE.
How about it, soldier. When you
are greeted by your mothers search
glances are you going to turn away,
ashamed?
Go back as you have been given,
clean and fit.

YOU

Help me give him back to you just
as you gave him TO me-"
These are the words put into the
mouth of Uncle Sam, standing beside
an American soldier, by the sIilfuI
writer of advertisements for the re-
cent United War Work Campaign.
Uncle Sam was referring to all the
soldiers in the Army. He was asking
that funds be literally subscribed for
the continuation of welfare work
among the soldiers at home as well
as over there.
His words were addressed to the
civilian population. But they are di-
rected to the soldiers just as peril
nently.
The responsibility, after all, rests
upon the men themselves. The re-
sponsibility is personal with them.
How about it, soldier? Are you GO
ing to give yourself back to those who
gave you as they gave you?

The war thus comes to an and; for
having accepted these terms of arms
tice, it viii be impossible for the Ger
man command to renew il"
These are the solemn words Of the
President Of the United States. They
were spoken to the Congress % he
announced the ar1nistice provisions.
They were intended to hearten the ma
ton, to point the thoughts of the peo-
pie towards those happy days Of re-
unions, towards a resumption Of the
productive industries of peace.
To the soldiers in the field they pro-
claim the promise Of return to Amer
lea at day not too far of to glimpse.
But to the soldiers the words are
nothing more than q promise, yet-for
it is an armistice that has been signed
not treaty of peace.
To the soldiers il means that they
must MARK TIME" until the treaty
is an accomplished fact.
The soldiers will not cease to be
soldiers, even though the war has
come to an end, to other intents and
purposes.
The army of occupation follows the
retreat of the Germans. The Amer
lean army is to do arduous police duty
for some time to come. The Amer
lean army must stand vigilant to en-
force the terms Of the armistice if
necessary. In the first days following
the announcement of the signing Of
the armistice, Marshal Foch found it
necessary, in no uncertain terms, to
warn the German High Command that
it their troops did not cease their
terrorism and wanton destruction, the
Allied troops would take the situation
in hand.

tuberculosis Is Not
Wholly Getty Disease"

Chicago, Dec. l1--Doubt that tuber-
culosis is q "city disease" was pre-
scented to the American Public Health
Association convention here today by
DR.. Burton r. Rogers of New York.
He said the secretary Of the Indiana
state Board of Health had written
him that out Of n total population of
$4,000 in Crawford county, Indiana,
1000 died of tuberculosis within
ten years.
Can such a record be even paral-
leled in the worst lung block in the
worst city in America asked the
speaker Investigation in other
states might reveal even worse con-
ditions."
Dr.. Rogers explained that Crawford
county has 304 square miles and that
the 10000 residents are scattered on
1851 farms and in II towns and VIII
la<-es, the largest urban center con-
tanning less than 12C0 inhabitants. He
added:
1T is doubtful if there is n three
story tenement in the county, and If
every house is not at least ten feet
from every other house and if every
living and sleeping room has rot ona
or more outside windows. These are
certainly not city conditions"
