W0MEN'S PART IN THE WAR.
Are Answering Ready" to Governments
Call for Their Assistance

Doing ones bit is no longer an express
'ion, half sentimental. half serious, that
means doing something usually the
most convenient something the
war" Now every one has his, and i'll this
ease her, definite bit to do. Fer the first
time in the history of wars the govern
ment has called upon the appointed
women to undertake part of its work.
The women's committee of the Liberty
Loan campaign is not an amateur effort
depending upon the mems committee. 1t
is an organization with its own definite
work to do, its chairman appointed by
Secretary McAdoo. The loan could be
raised by the mems committee, but the
challenge in this call is that the govern
| ment needs the woman's cooperation
| 1t this is a war "for the people, it must
be ''by the people" as well, and people"
has come to have a wider significance
| than it used to have The government
is beginning to. realize that whole is
| equal only to the sum of its parts and
that women are a large part of that
whole and it wants to help them to be a
productive part.
| The New York Times in an editorial
concerning the September II registration
says: IF one could visualize what will
be happening all over the country today
it would afford one the most thrilling
and impressive sights that the war has
lgiven- thirteen millions of American:
stepped forward to answer Ready at tn,
nations call" Perhaps more impressiv,
because it is the first of its kind would
be the sight of our women stepping for
ward at our nations call. Never befor'
has it come in just this way and tn
women are answering Ready"

Suppose

ETS suppose you have room for rent,
There are several ways in which you
can let people know about it.
First, you can tell all Of your friends.
And you can ask them to tell all of their
friends. Maybe, if the telling keeps up
long enough and reaches far enough,
somebody will eventually be found who
will come and take look at the room.
Or you can put little cardboard signs
in your downstairs windows, reading:
Groom For Rent" Hundreds of peo-
pie pass your house every day. Possibly
one out of every hundred will see the
sign, and one out of every thousand
will be looking for room. ,
Both of these ways are inexpensive.
They're all right, too-that is, if you
don't care whether you rent that room
next week, or Christmas after next
Christmas.
But most people who have rooms for
rent want to rent them as quickly as
possible. How can you reach the peo-
pie who are looking for rooms? Listen,
and I'll tell you: Through the Classi-
fled columns of the East OregOnian-a
little Want Ad. will hunt out and reach
the very people you want to reach. And
that method is inexpensive, also.
Just try it. Next time you want to
rent room, write little Want Ad and
put it in this newspaper. People who
want room will see that ad because
they'll be looking for it, and-weH, then
it's up to you to take care of them when
they write or call.

CHAPTER TX.
Laid Up for Repairs.

-o'o Up Tor REPAIRS.
one night, after had been at Dix
mude for about three weeks, we made
q charge in the face of yerv heavy
hre. Our captain always stood at the
parapet when we were going over, and
made the sign of the cross and shouted
For God and France" Then we wonld
go over. Our officers always led US.
OUT nave never seen German officer
lead a charge. They always were be-
nlnd their men, driving instead of lead
Ing. l do not believe they are as brave
as they are said to be.
Well, we went over this time. and
the machine guns were certainly going
1t strong. We were pretty sore about
the chaplain and the Swiss and all
that, and we put up an awful fight. but
we could not make it and had to come
pack. Only one company reached the
boche trenches and not a man of it
came back who had not been wounded
on the way and did not reach the
trench. They were just wiped out.
Inc captain was missing, too. We
tnought he was done for, but about
TWO O'Clock in the morning, he came
back. He simply fell over into the
trench, all in. He had been wounded
four times, and had lain in a shell
crater full of water for several hours.
lie would not 90 back for treatment
then, and when daylight came, it was
TOO late, because We were practically
cut OF by artillery fire behind the front
line trenches.
When daylight came, the artillery
hre opened up right on us, and the
Germans had advanced their lines into
some trenches formerly held by us and
hardly forty-fve yards away. We re-
celved bombs and shells right in our
races. A Tunisian in our company got
crazy, and ran back over the parados.
he ran few yards, then stopped and
looked back at us. I think he was
coming to his senses, and would have
started back to us. Then the SPOT
where he had been was empty. and q
second later his body from the chest
down fell not three yards from the
parados. l do not know where the
top part went. That same shell cut a
groove in the low hilltop before it ex-
ploded. He had been hit by q bic
shell. and absolutely cut in two. l
have seen this happen to four men, but
this was the only one in France.
About seven o'clock, we received re-
endorsements, and poured fresh troops
over and retook the trench. No sooner
had we entered it, however, than the
Germans turned their artillery on us,
not even waiting for their own troops
to retire safely. They killed numbers
OK their own men in this way. But the
