WELFARE HOUSE
OPENED FOR men
Intended for Convenience Of Officers
and Men of Allied Forces Inter.
ested in Christian Science
WELCOME IS EXTENDED TO ALL
Affords Quiet Retreat for Those
Seeking Rest-Information Bureau
Will !Bea Maintained

LONDON, England-On August 1st,
as already announced in a cable dis
patch to The Christian Science Moni-
tor, the Christian Science Welfare
House, for the use of the allied forces,
was opened at liz Eaton Square, Lon
don S. w. I. Week after week fresh
contingents are being added to the
vast American army already transport
ed across the Atlantic; consequently
thousands of soldiers and sailors now
find a temporary home in the little ISL
and from which their forefathers set
sail in quest of liberty three centuries
ago. The Welfare House is primarily
intended for the convenience of those
officers and men of the United States
army and navy who are interested in
Christian Science, but welcome will
also be extended to any sailor or SOL
dier who desires to come.
The Christian Science Welfare
House is situated in convenient CEN
ter close to the American embassy
and the busy thoroughfare around Vic
toria station. Various. bus routes pass
close by, and the tube and underground
railway are easily and quickly
reached, but the creeper.clad house
itself stands in a wide, sunny square,
where spreading plane trees cast a
cool shade in the long, hot summer
days.
The house is designed to help and
befriend in every way the men of the
allied forces. 1t is actuated by the
desire to do everything to make the
men feel as much at home as possible
The reception rooms, it is hoped, will
provide an accessible place where
friends can meet, while for the con-
venience of the men an information
bureau will be open from 10 a. m. till
6 p. M, and register will be kept
of the addresses of those who let
rooms or take in bOarders. The bureau
will also be prepared to make ar
rangements for those officers or men
on leave who wish to spend a quiet
time in the country. while for those
anxious to see something of the sights
of London expeditions to interesting
parts of the city, including picture gal
leries and museums, will be planned,
and the bureau will always be ready
with the names of hosts and hostessel
willing to invite officers and men, sim
gly or in small parties, to their houses,
so that all who desire may share the
social intercourse that can only be
enjoyed in the midst of home life.
The Christian Science Welfare
House, too, has reading and writing
rooms, in the quiet of which the men
can make themselves at home with
their books and papers. or can sit and
write their letters undisturbed. A GER
tain number of bedrooms will also be
available at the welfare house, to pro-
vide sleeping accommodation, at rea-
sonable price, for men staying in Lon.
don, and breakfast will be provided at
a moderate charge.-The christian

PIDGIN ENGLISH IS POPULAR
In China the Lingo Is Used by Both
Servants and Employers in
Speaking to Each Other.

In China servants speak pidgin, or
business, English to their employers
and servants from different parts OF
China will use this weird language in
-pcakng to each other. The formation
Of the sentence is The same as in Chi
nose; the language itself is an extra
ordinary mixture of English, POrtu-
gueSe. French and Chinese. Some Of
the phrases. says Mrs. De Burgh DAILY
in An lrishwoman in China, are very
quaint and amusing.
4 bishop is called "NO. 1. top side
joss pidgin man." "TCp side means
heaven, "joss," god, "pidgin," busi-
ness.

rour.Rrc Rainbow.

A fOur-arc rainbow was seen by
vessel at sea recently, one pair inter-
sccting the other pair. Two arcs are
often seen on land, and three are some
times seen; but the invariable rule is
that these arcs all have a common
center lying below the horizon. The
explanation of the two pairs Of arcs
was, however, quite simple. The sea
at the time was exceptionally calm,
and acted as a gigantic mirror. Two
of the arcs, which had a common CEN
ter below the horizon, were due to the
sun itself; the other two arcs, which
had a common center above the hori-
zon, were due to the reflection Of the
sun in the sea.

THE JUNEAU UNCONDITIONAL
 SURRENDER CLUB

JUNEAU, Sept. 13-To the Edi- tor-Like a great many other peo- pie in this town, the other day, I signed up with the Juneau Uncondi- tional Surrender Club The idea is all right; and I am further in favor of hanging the Kaiser and sinking U-boats on Sundays as we'll as week days. But does an Unconditional Surrender Club really help? Frank ly, don't see that it does. It is only the expression of a wish, and wishing is the easiest thing on earth when the other fellow does the work. An Unconditional Surrender Club does nothing towards assisting our boys or our Allies across the sea to gain situation where an "uncon- ditional surrender" demand can be made. Now if the Juneau Uncondi- tional Surrender Club-it is a brave title-would adopt a little statement like this, for instance, "The Juneau Unconditional Surrender Club Takes No Sugar in It's Coffee" some real good might result. The Club would then be evincing a real desire to help the Government in it's present campaign to save sugar and so even- tually to achieve the unconditional surrender of the Hun. Such club would have right to exist because 1t would be in the fighting-and none of the Club members likely to be ,ery badly hurt at that
 The Flint, Michigan. Uncondition- al Surrender Club should reform its platform by offering practical assis- tance in some way or other to the boys in France who have to do the fighting. It takes real fighting to bring about an unconditional surren- der. People who propose a thing of this kind should be prepared to do little unconditional surrendering themselves - and the Government needs the sugar
 This is merely a suggestion Drop your sugar in the sugar bowl instead of in your coffee. Further, I would suggest that the idea be limited to coffee. The humor and good sense of the idea, limited in this way might appeal.

Joe Acklen, recently appointed to West Point Military Academy by Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, is pleased with the life of a cadet in training 70 become an officer in the United States Army-though, he says, it is real work
 Whiting to his mother in this city, Joe says:
 We have been on the march for bout five days, and are now camp ng at Cedar Lake, near Monroe.
 q certainly am having good ime on this march. We have a sham battle every morning and then march about twelve miles. We re- urn to West Point next Thursday and our studies begin on Septem- Der first. This is the first chance have had to write to you sinAe leaving West Point and you can't imagine how busy I am. I never knew what working was until I came to West Point Military Acad- emy-that is. working fast and eff ficiently.

"WICK" MAKES SAME OLD SPEECH ALONG
 THE YUKON VALLEY

A letter from the Interior tells about the Wickersham speech at Tanana which, aside from an effort to prove that he had not tried to secure the removal of the Army post from that place in the face Of docu- mentary evidence to the contrary, he made practically the same speech that he had made elsewhere.
 He accused Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr. of being Republican, and as proof cited the circumstance that he had been connected with Government technical work in Alaska for twelve years during Republican administra- tions. He attacked Attorney General George B. Grigsby, accusing him of being a former Republican. because he had held office under Republi- can administration.
 The former Delegate tried to ere ate the impression that Delegate Charles A. Sulzer was pro-Gernlan because his paternal ancestry was German. (Wickersham said both of his parents were born in Germany
 Tried to convince the people of the Interior that great injustice had been done Alaska because of the passing of the shipping bill per mitting foreign ships to engage in traffic between American ports un- der certain circumstances without extending that provision to Alaska.
 He attacked Judge Charles E. Bun nell because the latter held the Al aska eight hour law to be unconsti- tutional, though he was very guard ed in his reference to that matter He did not refer to the fact that Solicitor General John w. Davis, af ter an investigation, said that Judge Bunnell's decision was so clearly in accordance with the law that he ordered that no appeal should be taken from the decision.
 The letter adds that Wick" has shot his wad and it was the same old Wick speech without many new angles And, further, the letter says Delegate Sulzer will carry the Panama section and the Fourth Di vision.

HOLDING THE LINE

We have the task of main taining the men in that liv- ing line made up of soldiers and the people living back of the line. We must not run any risk. There must be no narrow margins. We must see that there is plen- ty of food over there, so that no matter what hap pens to the shipping in any one month, they are safe. Then we have a chance to win the war and make good.
 The food program is a fighting program. We here in this country have the education, we have the brains, we have the loyal ty, we must live up to our privilege of backing up our splendid men who repre- sent us in the Army and Navy. Let each of us live so each day that when our boys come back from France we cah look them in the eye and say: 'I did my share and all that I could at home"

blows the best American punch.
 Gen. March referred to the publi- cation of articles which intimated that the Americans were not going through with the war, despite it's enlarged military program. He said such suggestions were preposterous, in their falsity, and that the Amer- cans would finish whatever they un- dertook to do.
 He said the elimination Of St. Mi hiel salient was of great importance, aside from the military victory se- cured, in that it gives the Allies a much better base from which to launch future operations against the German forces on their own terri tory.
