Liked the War.

They told me down South about a
negro who was drafted, a big cornheld
darby who had drifted along through
life till then with nobody bothering
much about him. The draft took him,
rather frightened and protesting, and
he found himself in the army. After
the first daze of ii wore off, he discoy-
cred that he was being taken an inter-
est in for the first time in his life.
They took him over to one of the COM

The Tank Situation.

Frequent references appear IN dis
patches from the front, especially those
which have been subjected to the tender
ministrations of the Committee on PUBIC
Information, to the heroic and eifectlve
work of ''the American Tanks. Ana
these references are just as misleading
and designed to be-as were the constant
references of few months ago TO the
"American aeropIanes" on the western
front. The tanks referred to are Amerl-
can to the extent that they are manned
by American soldiers and under the COM
mand of American generals. but the
studied implication that they are Amerl-
can built tanks is false, for the tank pro-
gramme has collapsed as completely as
did the aeroplane programme
Months ago there was established an
American assembling plant tor tanks IN
France, and contracts were let TO Eng
lish, French and Americans for approx
mately 500 tanks each. When, snort
time ago, the 1000 tanks contracted 1or
in France and Great Britain had been de-
livered and assembled, the parts OF not
one complete American tank had arrived
The War Department programme call
ed for the construction of a, 4O0 tanks IN
this country. On September l, Just eight
tanks had been completed There was
prospect, it was officially stated to MEM
bers of the Senate Military Committee
that a total of forty tanks would be de-
livered during the month of September.
Months ago tank training camp was
established at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
On September 1, not one tank had been
delivered at the camp, and the men who
had enlisted for and been assigned to
tank service were being trained with
blue prints, paper representations OF the
machines they were supposed to master.
Whether or not the deficiency at Gettys-
burg has been remedied since by the de-
livery of at least one tank, in order that
the men may have the opportunity TO
study the form and substance: as well as
the paper designs, the Military Commit
tee is not informed. To learn thereasons
for the collapse of the tank program IL
will probably be necessary to ask Secre-
tary Baker-although members of Con-
gress have asked him, and he has replied
that that is military information not
proper to disclose.
But if MIR. Baker ever is called on TO
explain by anyone with sufficient author
ity to compel an answer, he will have as
much to explain regarding the failure OF
the tank program as he has in connection
with the collapse of the aeroplane plans.

FINISH THE JOB RIGHT.

"Finish the job right" That was the
reply of the American fighting men to
the Americans back home and to the
whole world in response to Teutonic
peace efforts. They have taken the peace
calls as signal for the Allies to continue
to fight harder than ever.
Lately we have heard much of what
the housewife did in the way of making
it possible to feed the Allies last year.
Before the war the United States had al
most ceased to be food exporting ma
ton In the past year, the diligent con-
servation of food by the American house,
wife, however, made it possible for
america to send more than eleven mill
lion tons of food to Europe.
This is a splendid victory for the house.
wife. But it should in no way serve to
relax her efforts in conserving food in
the coming year. 1t should rather be as
the peace offer is to our boys, spur to
greater determination to win the goal.
During the coming year we must send
seventeen and one-half million tons of
food across the Atlantic. To do this calls
for constant conservation of the staples,
wheat, meat, sugar, and fats-and un-
ceasing vigilance to see that no food
whatever is wasted.
But "Finsh the job right!'

His Civilian Record.

May I suggest to the government
that every man be treated according to
his civilian merits? These are dem

discharged men: "Were you an Off

should say: "Now you have finished
with war, we must deal with you on a

you joined up? What do you think
you are best suited for? With you

NOT IN.COLD BLOOD
Soldier Simply Could Not "TiIP'

But Though There Was an Impedi-

Found There Was Nothing

irony. His comrades had dubbed him
this because of his youth and an inn
pediment of speech He couldn't pro-
nounce his C's, KS and SIS, especially
when those consonants were the first
letter of the word. And consequently
his conversation had the sound of a
three-year-old. But those of his mates
who had poked fun at MIN one day
learned that though his speech and
manner might be childish, there was
stern stuff beneath.
During an allied attack the platoon
of which the "baby" was a member
was held up in an old trench by Boche
machine gun fire and snipers. The
''baby'' discovered an enemy sniper in
g shell hole and reported him to his
lieutenant.
$50 out and get him." ordered the
lieutenant.
Obeying orders, over the top the
"baby" crawled, and creeping up be-
hind the Hun, forced him to surrender.
Unable to bring him back, ne took
away all his ammunition and crawled
back to his own lines again.
"What thai I do with him?" the
"bahy,. asked the lieutenant.
Better kill him, he's probably got
hand grenades and gun hidden about
him and we're in too ticklish posi-
ton to be bothered with prisoners"
answered the harried officer.
Out again went the baby all
primed for the execution. The Boche
saw him coming, dropped to his knees,
clasped his hands in prayerful en-
treaty and begged for mercy--a habit
of the Boche after they have exhaust
wounding all the Americans they can.
Twice the "baby" raised his bayo-
net to run the Hun through. And
twice the renewed entreaties Of the
terrified German sniper made him hes
itate. Finally, with gesture of de-
spair, he ordered the Boche to crawl
ahead of him to the American line.
Reaching it, the "baby" put his pris-
cner in a dugout. Then he went in
search of his lieutenant and reported:
Lieutenant, I tan't till that d.
Boche, sir. Please get tomeone else
to till him."
The officer couldn't help laughing,
and sent the "baby" back to his post.
An hour later the 'baby" was wound
ed by another, sniper and ordered to
the dressing station in the rear.
"He's all broken up, sir, because he
couldn't carry out the lieutenant's or
ders," said his comrade to the Ameri-
can Red Cross worker in the dressing
station.-From Red Cross Scrap

Little Irony of War.

Great CONSERVATION was caused In
Vienna recently by the announcement
that the son of Karl Hermann Wolf
deputy of the Austrian reichsrat, is a
soldier in the British army. Nothing
could be more ironic, for the elder
Wolf has been leader In propagating
hatred of England and is one of the
most vigorous Of the an-Germanists.
The boys mother Frau Wolf, was
given a divorce from his father In 1904
because of the latter's extreme brutal
ity. To escape his prosecutions she
went to Switzerland and finally to
England, where she sent her son to
the English schools. Now VOLTS own
flesh and blood Is fighting on the Brit
ish side against his fathers compat-
riots.
Wolf has been one of the most strik-
tho figures in the Austrian refchsrat'
He is the creator and leader OF the
"Hang all Czechs" movement, which
caused so many stormy scenes In the
Austrian parliament.

Riches and money have been COM
