A Boarding School Experiment

ooh, mother, you ought to see
how they are saving food down at
school,
Eleanor was home from Rriar-
wood on her first vacation. Every
table in the dining room has boz"
she went on, "and every girl is fined
a cent each time she breaks a piece
of bread and doesn't finish it or
leaves any food on her plate or any
scraps OF butter. We have a lot Of
fun over it and the teacher at the
head of the table issues paper tick
cts to each girl who trespasses these
rulings and then at the end OF the
week these are checked up and the
pennies are charged against her.
The servants say it has made an aw-
full lot of difference, too; especially
in the amount Of butter and bread"
she continued.
But why that far away look, lit
tie mother? You haven't heard a
word I've been saying Eleanor
pouted as she broke open a steam
ing corn muffin.
YES, dear" Mrs. Brainerd re-
piled, | have heard every word. but
it took me back about twenty years
and | was suddenly sitting at my
own pensionnat table in Berlin.
But | thought the Germans were
proyerbially heavy eaters said
Eleanor.
That is true, but with them the
gospel of the clean plate is no mere
wartime measure laughed Mrs.
Brainerd. 81 well remember my
feelings when Fraulein Schmidt
would scowl at me and insist that |
eat everything on my plate before I
could have another serving of some
dish | particularly liked. For, like
all Americans, | had been accuS-
toned to the etiquette of just leave
what YOU don't like on your plate
and say nothing about it. But it
was not so with the Germans.
No wonder, then, that they know
how to make their present supply
OF food stretch to the farthest linn
it, put in Eleanor with a tone of
new understanding.
Exactly pursued her mother
efficiency in eating is no stranger
to Germany, while we are only just
beginning to learn it.
Il shall go back and tell the
girls interrupted Eleanor, that we
are fighting the enemy with their
own weapon. Only they have han
died this weapon for years and we
are Just learning how"
"Yes, and tell them their zeal and
determination to win in this fight
must offset the long years of train
ing on the part of the enemy" con-
cluded Mrs. Brainerd. "For the side
which holds out with food the long
er will decide whether the world is
going to be ruled by autocracy OF
democracy"

Kaiser and War Party
Warned BY Home Paper

Hague, Netherlands, Feb. 10
Pan-Germans who did what they
could to make the war inevitable"
are denounced by the Frankfurter
Zeitung and are warned that their
hour Of reckoning is coming, in an
article published in that newspaper.
The article is reply to a criti-
cism by the Pan-German writer,
Herr Eigenbrodt, who accused the
newspaper OF entertaining an anti
militarist spirit Rerorting to the
critic, the Frankfurter Zeitung ask
ed what has happened in this
war" and answered the question
by saying:
"The army which enlisted at the
beginning OF the war has failed by
a long way in numbers. Masses Of
men have had to be added to it and
trained within a time far shorter
than that which even we contem-
plated.
"The conception that England de-
sired to seek a decision by arms in
any circumstances was the basis of
the Pan-German policy. They cher
ished the idea OF the imminence Of
this world war because they longed
for it. In the first number of the
Pan-German News, at that time the
chief organ OF Pan-Germans, these
words were written, the hour we
have longed for at last has struck;
the holy war;
1T is impossible to say that the
war was desired abroad, but it is
not difficult to see what one is
straining every nerve to bring about.
Anybody who did not go about with
his eyes shut knew that Germany,
except for a small group, did not
wish for war, but what that small
group, just these, Pan-Germans,
could contribute towards making it
inevitable, that they did,

IF we along with others have any
reproach to make to ourselves, it
is that we did not more carefully
watch the doings OF such people.
They were takers whom one
thought a nuisance, but did not
take as seriously as the damage
which they subsequently did proves
that one ought to have done.
The effect OF Pan-German out
bursts upon foreign public opinion
was not considered at the time, but
they alone can account for the food
OF hate towards Germany which
showed itself at the beginning OF
the war and which found the Ger
man public comparatively unpre-
pared. We could not understand
it and we asked ourselves how it
was possible. Now we have found
out. From the writing of Baum
garten and other publications we
have seen that not the good Ger
man people, but the Pan-Germans
earned a bad name for Germans in
the world. We are not so foolish
as to look upon the enemy as an
gels. The consciousness OF the in
nocencc felt in Germany at the be-
ginning OF the war, though under
standable, was not justified, for now
we see that agitation on the part Of
Pant Germans which they carried
even beyond our frontiers created a
false impression upon foreign pub
lie opinion, an impression that the
German people and their govern
ment were animated by plans for
conquest and deeds of violence, and
this opinion was encouraged by
chauvinists in those countries
abroad.
German people do not yet know
the extent of the damage done to
them by the Pan Germans, but the
hour OF reckoning for them is COM
ing"

nized the boy who delivered meat
at your house, whose irrepressiblc
spirits could never be dampcned,
the boy who kept the newsstand at
the corner and never brought your
paper on time, but who never by
any chance was at fault and so on.
Until at length all the other faces
faded from the ranks and you saw
only your own son, the finest and
biggest of them all.
You had sent away to camp the
young men you had known from
babyhood and watched grow up.
And you were proud of them
Four months later you visited
your son in camp. You saw again
practically every one of the 800
young men who marched in that
parade late in the fall.
1t seemed inconceivable to you
that four months could make such
a difference They were no longer
boys, they are no longer young men.
they were most unmistakably Uncle
Sans soldiers. Their shoulders
were erect and broader, they had lit
orally grown, thei Races and eyes
were clear and strong, and the very
swing OF their bodies bespoke per-
fect health and fine spirits. Within
four months Uncle Sam had remadc
nice young men into a wonderful
army.
This was no miracle; he had but
followed out simple recipe for
good health, using work as the basis
OF the recipe, adding plenty OF sim
pie food, sufficient and regular
sleep, seasoned with generous
amount of recreation.
Perfect health is as essential to
the army behind the lines as to the
soldiers. We, too, have a fight to
fight and a victory to win.
1t is a fight in which every patri-
otto citizen will need every ounce
OF good health and strength that he
can muster together, for in this
emergency America requires every
atom OF the productive power OF
her people.
Let us who are fighting behind
the lines try out the same recipe
that worked so wonderfully for the
boys in camp.

Fatherless Children of France

The Fatherless Children of France, an association founded to assist in car ing for the young children made or phans by this terrible war, was organ ized in October, 1915, and already more than 30 committees in all parts of the country are working for the support of those destitute children.
 It is the policy of the society to main tain the children in their own homes under their mothers care; to educate them in their own country, and to pro- vide for each a suitable trade or ca recr.
 1t is desired to establish such a per- soual relation between the Donor and the child that the Donor will not only be assured that his money reaches it's proper destination, but also may cor respond with the child or it's mother. Through this personal touch is being built up between the two peoples a last ing and unDreakablc friendship.
 II is the unbrOIen and unbreakable rule of the society that not one cent of the money subscribed shall be spent for expenses, but the full amount shall be paid to the child. All expenses of the committees are paid from voluntary do- nations for that purpose.
 Any French child living in it's own home, who is under 16 years of age l whose father has lost his life in this
 war. and who is certified to be in need | is eligible for support. The names arc | listed, catalogued and sent to the eX- | ecujive committee in New York. which

 T recognize the unfortunate conse- Guences in both of these cases where some people will be deprived of sending d parcel to their relative or friend, but this is war and in all probability the war department did not see it's way clear to handle the matter in any diff ferent way. l am extremely anxious i that you will give personal attention 1 to this matter, using all the influence l you can to see that the public is prop l erly informed, and the position of the i Red Cross is only that Of a servant to ! the war and postoffice departments.
