continue to purchase the required
amount of wheat substitute with their
wheat flour.
Coming in of the new wheat crop
has made it possible for the nation to
go back partially to it's old habits Of
eating. But the uncertainties of war
and the necessity for building up a
food reserve are incentives to eau
ton, ever in the face of a good crop.
AS the available supply Of wheat
diminshes or increases SO does the
United States food administration ac-
cordingly change it's rulings as to the
use of wheat flour.
So as to cover every possible rul-

especially prepared for the patriotic

THE DIRGE OF "GERMANISM" IN
AMERICA

The Cologne Gazette is still publish
ing the voluminous "reminiscences of
it's former Washington correspondent,
Herr George Barthelme. In his 18th
article Herr Barthelme pours out
abuse upon all the most prominent
Americans as traitors to the father
land. After numerous quotations, he
concludes lugubriously:
"All of these utterances are not the
voice Of Germanism in America. They
are the cries of fear of people in
trouble. of renegades who want their
origin to be forgotten. They are in
reality the crew without a country,
for ultimately the calculating Amer
lean will show them the door as being
untrustworthy.
"Meanwhile most Of the others, who
have remained good Germans, will
turn their backs in disappointment
upon the country of their betrayed
hope, and those who are not able to
follow them will, with broken hearts,
mourn their evening upon the ruins
Of a devastated dream. They thought
that they were entering a new coun-
try and building themselves a new
house. Instead of that they found
themselves suddenly on British-C Colo
nial soil and in the shadow of the
Union Jack. That was a terrible
awakening.
twill it still be possible to make
the United States into a really indie
pendent American state? l do not
know. Many of my German friends
thought it possible, and one of them
assured me that he will not emigrate,
painful though everything has be-
come to him, because he intends now
more than eve to take US the fight
for a free America and for a second
Declaration of Independence. Many
things have happened so differently

SOLDIERS CORNER

in the new world have shown that
we should have to fight Germany
later, if not now; and without help,
instead of with the help OF other
great free peoples. To fight Ger
many now is the only way to make
the world safe for democracy; to
make sure that the coming genera
ton, our little brothers and sons, shall
not have to do it, but shall grow up
free from the nightmare of militar-
ism, suspicion and fear. America is
a peaceful nation; if we wish to re-
main so, we must win the a
Teammates
The United States is in the war for
! good and sufficient reasons of its own.
It's aim is to lick Germany. To lick
Germany quickly and thoroughly it
must work in complete harmony with
it's allies. Therefore, any man who,
by word or thought or implication,
seeks to destroy that harmony is
doing his part in messing the job of
the United States and therefore pro-
longing the war.
England's purpose in this war is
sincere and honorable. So is Frances.
So is Italy's. So-God KNOWS Bel
GUMS. So it is with all our other
allies.
We know all this, but there will be
those who will come amongst us and
hint in an underhanded way that
such is not the case. They will tell
us that we are fighting England's bat.
tie, Frances battle, Liberals battle
any battle but their own. They will
ask us, for example, why we, who
fought two wars against England
!, are found on her side today. They
will ask US why we are over here i,

l The answer to all such questioner:

States, first, last and all the time
If, in fighting that battle, we hell

An interesting commentary on the
value of singing IN the camps mas
been made by Owen Wlster, author
and member Of the music commission
on training camp activities. "Musl
is as necessary to the soldiers heart
as bread is to his body" he says: IT
is often spoken Of as a luxury, but 1t
1T is probable that no battle was
ever won by soldiers who did not
sing" Mr.. Wister declares. "When
soldiers have been too exhausted to
sing. lust listening to music has put
new life into them. Just such a case
as / have in mind occurred during
the retreat of the British before
Mons in 1914.
"The heavy fighting they had been
through had proved too much for a
certain contingent of troops. The
men lay on the ground played out.
Indifferent and benumbed. The me
my was coming, but the men were
too tired to care. Their command
ing officer looked at them in despair,
and e~ntreaties to march on were of
no avail; the men refused to bulge.
"Near at hand was a toy shop
which had been abandoned by the
proprietor when the retreat began.
The officer made for the shop and a
moment later appeared with a toy
drum and a tin whistle. Then, while
he played the drum two soldiers took
turns playing the whistle. The music

ened the benumbed men, ~stiffenet
their legs and spirits to further eff
fort and they arose and marched II
miles to safety.
"That is what music did in on
case. In the medieval age the Ro
mans and Greeks had their battl'
songs, and even now our warrior
sing in battle. 1t has helped to viii
many a victory. Indeed, music ha'
played a brilliant part in the his
tory of all great wars"

KEEP WRITING TO BOYS
"OVER THERE AND WAIT

Don't stop writing to your mar in
service cover there" because Uncle
Sam is a little slow in delivering his
mail. That is the advice of Otto
Pracger, second assistant postmaster
general, who has issued a circular let
ter in regard to mail for soldiers in
Europe.
Few persons know how devious is
the route of a letter mailed in the
"home town" and directed to a man
overseas, Praeger states, and fewer
still stop to consider that mail for a
million and a half men is being deliv-
cred to several hundred camps.
Mail for American troops in the
English, Canadian or French armies
is dispatched as foreign mail to the
government with which the soldier is
identified and is delivered to him by
that government.
All mail for the American expedi-
tionary forces is handled by the
United States postal service, which
delivers it to the proper military
postal authorities In France. Mai
orderlies with every unit Of the army
keep the main office informed of the
transfer of individuals or regiments.
Complaints arise chiefly, Praeger
says. from the fact that persons COM
municating with our troops do not
take into consideration that approxi-
mately 80 days are required from the
time of mailing until a letter reaches
the addressee, owing to the disturbed
ocean traffic. Another cause of COM
plant is the insufficient manner in
which mail is addressed. Foreign
governments refuse to forward mail
which is improperly addressed.
Between 1,0O0.000 and 2,s5O,OOO let
tiers is part of the cargo of each fast
vessel, sailing ir~regularly, to which
the mail is intrusted.
"Don't write to any department in
Washington regarding the non-deliv.
cry of mail to members of the Amer
lean forces" Praeger advises. "The
war department is too busy delivering
mail to spend time following up com
plants. Address your letters prop
erly, then have patience"

ADDITIONAL NURSES
NEEDED IN FRANCE

The following letter from a nurse
in France, Just received at American
Red Cross headquarters from France,
shows wildly the need for the addi-
tional nurses called for by the sur
geon general:
"Nurses' Home, July 10.
"My Dear Miss -: We have
had great changes at the hospital
since l wrote you. Instead OF hay
ing 500 beds, we have 1000. At the
beginning of this big rush, started
about May %, we received the wound
ed from the battlefield about IL hours
after they were wounded-as many as
500 in one night, and all in need Of
an operation. This kept up for days.
"Thc first week we worked for IL

bed about three or four hours when
l would be called again. l never felt
tired nor did I want to 60 to bed, for
when l did go I just couldn't sleep,
the excitement was much too great.
1t was wonderful how the nurses kept
up. Every girl was on duty from 8

taking only five or ten minutes for
their meals, but in about a week most
of them had to take a day or two

STRAY THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

STRAY THOUGHTS BY THE WAY
An honest man cannot put lies into
his work.
Science consists simply of substi-
tuting knowing for guessing.
Remember that the same bee that
stings you can also give you honey.
A workman is known by his chips
and the poorest chips are poker
chips. ,
The man who would rise beyond
the time clock can't afford to keep
his eyes on it.
Workmen don't realize that waste
and mistakes are deducted from wages
in advance.
The man who is continually touch
ing his friends will some day discover
that they feel cold.
