clean wound, no draining tubes OF
anything of that kind. Am .eatinp
regular meals now. The nurse told
me today that could sit up as soon
as the doctor takes the stitches out.
in day or two.
This is the first chance | have ha.
TO write, due to unsettled conditions
and not on account of my wound
Am. feeling fine. In few weeks

POSSIBLE PEACE IN RELATION
TO The UNITED
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

The undersigned committee of the
Colordao Joint State Committee of
the United War Work Campaign, was
appointed to study the relation OF
possible Peace to the Campaign, and
wish to give thefollowing reasons
why the money will be more urgently
needed, and even in a larger sum i'll
the case Peace comes:
l. Because the various organiz
ations representa- by the United Wa
Work Campaign have already ex-
pended far greater amount than
they had at first expected, this being
occasioned by the ever increasing
size of the Army sent abroad and to
the camps of this country. Whereas
tho Government had anticipated hav-
ing 100000 men in France by No
vember 1st, we noT have over twt
million men over seas, and are nov
sending over seas 100000 men per
month. BY January LIST, we shall
have an army Of over 100000 men
under atRls.
2. The money asked FOR in this
Campaign is not only for future
needs, but also to meet the obliga-
tions incurred in anticipation of thi.
campaign,
8. If the period of demobilizat-
ion shall not be a period Of demoral-
ization the money will be needles
even more thon ever should the wal
continue. An Italian general once
said that the danger of demoraliza-
tion lies chiefly with the side that il
victorious. The time to fear is whel
drill ceases, discipline relaxes and tn,
goal is won. Temptations multiply
when leisure increases.
4. The organizations interested
have planned a great educationa
program among our more than tive
million men in France during the
months of peace negotiations, an>

 We may be sure that President Wilson will take care Of the situation to the satisfaction of the nation and of our Allies. He is better informed than any of us in the present crisis He has sources of information of which we are ignorant He will re- fleet upon the stupendous proposition now confronting him with the care and attention it deserves and when, after due consideration Of the Allies ends, his reply to Berlin is penned. we may be sure it will be completely satisfactory. Trust in the President! That is all that is necessary. We must not h~rass, nor embarrass nor attempt to hurry him in any way whatsoever. We must rely upon him wholly and entirely. He is the great est man in the world today, he is OUR President, and he will protect our interests, as well as those of our co-belIigerents. as no one else is cap able of protecting them.

(Editor's Note: The following verses were written by Arthur V. Walker of Mt. Vernon after he wit messed the events described. He now has possession of the old trunk.) 1t was hoI.se cleaning day. and a fussy N3ung wife Was working and cleaning away for Tn the yard near the gate lay pile
 of refuse Articles gathered that were of no use4 In the dusty old attic she rummaged
 away, Bringing forth relics to hold for sur
 Vey From the depths of a trunk she did
 recl4Iessly drag What proved to be only a faded old
 flag. She gazed in disdain and her face
 wore a frown, With an armful of rubbish she car
 ried it down. T wonder, she muttered, "Why Bill
 ly does keep, Such old trash as this", then it drop
 ped on the heap. In a twinkling a match to the flag is
 applied, At the same time the young wife is
 pushed hastily aside, And a feeble old veteran is heard to
 exclaim, Shame on you ma'am" as he smoth :
 cred the flame. With her temper rising she reckless
 ly tries To push him away as in anger she
 cries How dare you address me, that rag
 is my own, Be gone you old beggar and leave it
 alone" But firm as a rock the old soldier
 does stand
 hand,
 if you must But you will not drag Old Glory
 around in the dust. That flag may be yours but 'tis mine
 just as we'll For often I've borne it through bull
 lets and shell. I have fought like a demon though
 weary and sore While comrades around me would
 drop by the score. An, many the comrades that fell by
 my side, As over our heads proud Old Glory
 would ride, Yes, ride on to victory, a victory well
 earned, And thousands went with her who
 never returned". Then out of the refuse he removed
 the old flag, And said with emotion T don't want
 to brag, But old Glory and I have received
 many scars, I have as many on me as it has the
 stars. Dear old flag how I love you, you're
 always to me The same starry emblen you always
 shall be- The emblem Of victory, of peace and
 of strife. For you dear old comrade I would lay down my life. This rag as you called it, protected your own, ] Now in it's old age you refuse it a home. am sure it doesn't take very much of your room l Conceaied in your attic as still as a tomb The Star spangled Banner oh long may it wave 1 Der the land of the free and the home of the brave ] Just think of these wOrds ah, there are tears in your eyes, l That say you were born beneath Lib erty's skies, i And now I'll be going, I hope you will give,
 This old flag home as long as you May heaven bless you and help you to try. To shield and to harbor Old Glory, l good bye" +Then slowly he tottered along on his way,
 The young woman gazed after him in dismay l Until she no longer could discern his 1 dim form, Then turned to the flag he had placed ! on her arm, Yes Old Glory, she said, You shall
 have a home, Not in the attic. neglected, alone, But draped on the wall where your | color so true Shall teach me to honor, the Red White and Blue. ! ARTHUR v. WALKER.
