ADDITIONAL BREEFLETS

The true philosophy of life lies in
doing good for the sake of the deed
and not for the desire to be honored
or memoralized writes an editor The
man who leaves the world better for
his life has but done his duty. To
have done less is to have lived in vain.
BenevoIence that seeks immediate
publicity, public spirit that demands
advertising, creditable deeds that are
attended with Boosting, and useful
lives that hope for perpetual memoir
ials are not the true ideals Of right
living. Truly an unselfish man is
"the noblest work of God"
Instead of the usual mourning garb
American women who have lost mem
bers of their family in the service Of
the country are asked to wear three
inch black band on the left arm with
gold star for every bereavefent says
an exchange. The recommendation
comes from the Woman's Committee,
Council of National Defense, and is
endorsed by the Wisconsin Woman's
Committee, which commends the
spirit that at this time prompts
American women to avoid the usual
mourning dress. The wearing of such
insignia as this simple black band,
will, it is thought, express far better
than the usual form of mourning
dress the feeling of the American
people that such losses are a matter
of glory rather than prostratnng grief,
and depression. These bands can be
fashioned Of any kind of material the
wearer may desire.

THE hope Of the world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope Of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force of
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit Of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dan
gerous hour of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one san and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers Of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in hat unmistaka-
BILE language of universal mercy and
brotherhood. In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, Of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar Of exploding mines,

THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
OF tortured humanity, the voice of
the Red Gross carries clear and strong
the n message of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
It is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to the world, through
the Red Gross, our message of mercy
and BROTHERHOOD, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. It is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
GROSS WORK tnat Is 1elt Dy every cltl-
zen in the land, that inspires us with
courage and hope.
Out Of this hell of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to a heaven Of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
Of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense of which we r giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field Of death it is proclaim
ing its message of ~life-because it
keeps ever before US and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope of the world.

WHAT The VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE, author and globe-trotter,
to the National Security Leagues
campaign Of Patriotism Through Edu-
cati0n.)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
ton, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, 1t would mean infinitely more.
It would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash u per-
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains it's
old form-even as a beaten ring cham
pion sinks at m into desuetude-so
our nation tits traditions Of victory
gomez would suffer far wor deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
inflict.
It would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umpb. Thus, the moral tone of the in
dividual, as well as Of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has neve embarked in
a war Of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle Of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high u~nselfishness
of u war aims has given us the vic
tory. We have e the decay or de-
struction Of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany is
now battling. Should we fail in this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man mast lose forever the
simple Faith which has led u dear
country from Sothingness to its pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice is a
hundredfold justified.

The Huns Abroad and
The Pacifists at Home

Contributed by CASPAR WHIT
NEY, now at the front for the IN. Y.
Tribune" to the National Security
Leagues campaign Of Patriotism
Through Education.)
Although Germany, while yet a
FRIEND" intrigued against u peace
and order, urged Japan and Mexico to
make war on us, and murdered u
| men, women and children, there are
those among us protesting l,yalty and
| intelligence who practically say this is
not our war and appear unable to real
lie that the defeat Of the boche is as
| vital to us Americans as was the VIC
tory of 1776.
Then we declared for independence;
now we fight to maintain it.
1t is not merely that we fight in
answer to i%ndignity and material in
jury lone us through attack on u
| rights as a nation and on the lives
| of our citizens-not merely to uphold
our place among self-respecting peo-
| ples-that we are at war; but literally
for our self preservation as a republic.
To muzzle this war-mad wild beast
we have taken up .arms-that the
world shall be safe for the freemen of
the world.
The world cannot rest In peace while
| Germany holds the destiny Of other
peoples in her blood-dripping hands.
The world cannot live in peace with
a people that commits, or permits her
| sponsors to commit in her name, the
foul acts of treachery, of vandalism,
Of %bestiality, of murder, that have
marked the trail of the German army
over Europe. +,
One doctrine or the other must pre-
vail either the German brutal right Of
might or the civilized might Of right,
one or the other-must succumb in this
| conflict to the death. And should 1t
be the German doctrine-then shall we
| fall under the domination Of 9 people
| that have robbed and raped and looted
and burned and killed, that the
"kultur' Of a military oligarchy shall
live.
Prussianism is devoid Of honor,
truth, justice or mercy, as its WI acts
have proved, and it's defeat is a neces-
sary first step for the peace Of the
world and the freedom Of civilization.
For the safety Of American institu-
lions it must be destroyed; for the
safety Of American freedom, yours and
mine and Of all Of us.
We are in the midst of war, our war,
| the wal Of every freeman, Of every
man and woman who does not indorse
cowardly murderous assault upon the
weak and innocent, brutal injustice,
and atrocious acts; and If we would
preserve the Stars and Stripes and all
they stand for we must fight the Huns
abroad and the pacifsts at home with
al our strength.

SM|LEAGE CAMPAIGN STARTS
ON MONDAY, JANUARY %

Plans for the $1,OOO,OOO Smileage
campaign throughout the nation have
been completed The campaign will
start Monday, January % and con-
tinue throughout the week. The object
of this drive is to furnish each SOL
der book containing coupons en-
titling the holder to admission at
Liberty theatres, Liberty tents and
auditoriums under the management of
the Commission on Training Camp
Activities in national army canton
ments and national guard camps.
Erwin II. Bittner has been named
campaign director Of activities in Wa
tertown. He is now busy securing as
sistants to help in the work Every
one having soldier friends in camps
throughout the country can help them
by purchasing these books at a cost
of 81 to SIS. 1t is to be essentially a
girls campaign, for the soldier boys
rely on their girl friends for many
comforts. Schools and business houses
to help in drive.
An army recruited by draft includes
the best young men of the nation. The
Off hours of these young men are the
loniest hours of their camp life. If
those hours are to be pleasantly filled
there must be provided not only places
to write and read, but performances
of the grade to which the men are &C
customed at home and opportunities
for them to develop and exhibit their
own skill
Accordingly the Council will present
at the camp theatres, Broadway COM
panies in the best theatrical successes
of the season; the best musical and
vaudeville programs obtainable; lee
lures of the highest excellence; anna
teur performances by the men them
selves.
Ordinarily the cost of booking such
attractions would be prohibitive But
as the government built the theatres
and supplies the light, heat, and man
ager, the overhead expenses have been
reduced to a minimum AS a result,
the cost Of these performances will
range from ten cents to twenty-five
cents a seat
The Smileage Books, 20 coupons for
81 and 100 coupons for SIS, are your
means of making this possible for
your men in camps.
