BY the United Press.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 27.-There is a
strong and growing feeling among on
cials and diplomats here that there
should be a clarilcation OF Allied war
purposes to answer the German cry OF
we must fight for self-preservatlon. '
The short, sharp rejection OF the Aus
trian peace maneuver not only by Pres
ident Wilson but by the Chance.lorles
OF France, England and Ital, has had
two results:
First, an appeal by the Allied labor
congress in England for a re-statement
OF war aims that the people Of the ma
tons fehting may see that the Allied
purposes are united and.
Second. the Teuton masters have
spread the poison that the rundown OF
their offer shows that the policy ~
an Allied economic boycott and the
destruction Of Germany IS the purpose
OF America and the Allies.
For sometime there has been a feel
ing that the same unity Of purpose did
not exist in the diplomatic councils "
America and the Allies as has wrought
such wonders and under unity OF mill
tary command.
President Wilson has spoken repeat

EARNS ia CENTS A DAY:
HAS WIFE AND BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his "unfailing"
sense of humor.
Take. for instance, the case of
man from Lille, soldier. Waeltele by
name and only twenty-three. He had
done pretty well, for the youngster had
already his own printing shop in that
northern French town, which is still In
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and
he was sent to hospital at Grenoble.
There he was considered incurable,
and after the usual three months of
treatment he was granted his IA cents
a day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor, "My son, you can perhaps cure
yourself If you will live In the noun
tains. If you will eat plenty Of nour-
ishing food and. above all, If you don't
worry"
WaeIteIe should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking Of his baby
and his wife-and his IA cents. "Don't
worry!" The humor Of 1t entirely es-
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped In. He
was found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for just such cases, and within a few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
He was sent to the mountains at La.
mure, In the French Alps, happy In
the knowledge that his family was be-
ing cared for by these amazingly kind
Americans. .t..
And now the army doctors words
are coming true. Waeltele's lung Is
healing fast, and he is dreaming OF
another printing shop and Of living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of tuberculosis In France since
the war started, and to care for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread is merely one of the big jobs
the American Red Cross has set out to
accomplish.

FATHER AT WAR,
TRAGEDY AT HOME
Just What Home ServiceMe
to a Soldier.

The father kisses his wife and kid
dies goodby, shoulders his gun ana
marches away to war.
For a time the current of life flows
smoothly for the soldiers little faml-
ly. Then comes the tragedy. Mother
is taken i'll. The little brood of broth
ers and sisters is helpless. No father
to turn to. A helpless mother!
To whom can the American soldiers
family look at this critical periodF
Must a brave mans loyalty to his
country mean desolation and suffering
to those nearest and dearest to him!
mol Emphatically mol The Ameri-
can people will not permit the fami-
lies of their soldiers and sailors to
suffer because their breadwinners are
fighting for their country. And so the
Red Cross Department of Civilian Re-
lief has created a nationwide organ
ization for home service for the fami-
lies of soldiers and sailors.
Under the banner of Home Serv-
Ice" patriotic men and women have
enrolled and are devoting themselves
to the noble task of helping soldiers
families to meet and adjust the prob
lens of everyday life and aiding them
to maintain the standards Of health,
education and industry.
Home Servlce-True Service.
Home service means keeping the SOL
dier's children well and in school. 1t
means tiding the family over financial
troubles, arranging the household
budget, meeting insurance premiums,
adjusting a mortgage, bringing med
ical aid and legal advice to bear at the
right moment. In short "Home Serv-
ice" is true service, in that it provides
the warm handclasp of friendship
rather than the humiliation of charity.
1t calls for sympathetic understanding
and intelligent consideration of the
most vital needs Of the soldiers family.
The Red Cross is pledged to "Home
Service" wherever needed In the Unit
ed States. In each chapter of the Red
Cross there will be e home service
section, under competent hands, whose
mission will be to protect the welfare
of the soldiers and sailors homes and
to safeguard the normal development
Of their families in employment and in
ideals Of self help and self reliance.
