"COME ON, BOYS"

AMERICAS first offensive small affair compared
"A with the latest German drive, is hearenng because Of
the dash with which it carried through to success The
dispatches tell Us that there no hesitation when the
troops went over the top their officers calling, Come on
bows In that brief command is fine illustration Of the
American system our men are driven into battle but
20 gladly and gaanty led by officers selected for such
leadership The taking of Cantgny should prove to any
skcptca one that the Huns supermen with whom
our soldiers cannot cope On the contrary troops not
only won their objective but gained it 50 handy and with
such sporting spirit suggest football game to an
officer who participated in the advance And that officer
pointed the way when he said I'VE have got the Huns
the run All VIC need is Americans and We shall
lick them"
And so they shall More Americans going over
there as fast as ships carry them and in this country
more Americans streaming the cantonments to take
the places of those gone And and shall
come trailing from all of this widespread country
until the total is sufficient decide this with victory
on the side OF humanity. Two million under arms and
the third million coming up and that is only fair start
in the mobilization OF power.
Those who going and will go later will be of the
same fine type as those who deed the German machine
guns at Cantgny. Americans peaceful people but
they fight the better because they fight for ideal and
our soldiers are tn, sort to finish what they start If we
home do well those who represent the fighting
field there will be quitting until Germany beaten into
submission

EDUCATION IN THRIFT.

AN INVESTMENT OF $4,000 in war savings stamps by
n the school children Of Oklahoma City is evidence that
new and important branch has been added to the studies
Of the students They learning thrift which is some
thing TO which most American children have long been
strangers The fine incentive Of patriotism, which runs
high among children makes the lessons easy, but in time
ney will grasp the financial significance of their effort and
know more about the value and possibilities Of dollar than
their parents did such early They will see how
is possible to without great hardship and learn how
money saved can work for them.
This is particularly true OF those children who have
been earning the money they put savings, and it is
encouraging to note that than half OF the formidable
investment was acquired in that way. Those children will
be more resourceiu and better prepared to earn living
and other uxuries when the time arrives than they would
have been without this campaign And even those who
aided the government through the donations OF ndulgcnt
and generous parents will learn that there may be more
satisfaction in saving their money than investing in
loypops and other pcrshabe products The rising genera
ton should be less progae in its expenditures and there
fore more prosperous result OF the thrift stamps and
baby bonds
And what may be said Of the children holds true to some
extent OF older folk great number OF Americans both
in school and out have taken their first lessons in thrift
in the past year and found rather helpful themselves
as well as to their country and easily possible than
many of them had ever dreamed before if they had
done any dreaming on that important subject With the
Red Cross fund of the way the thrift stamp campaign
to become more intensive and those who haven't tried
it, should get in. It is great game and Uncle Sam needs
the money

NEW REGISTRANTS.

YOUNG men usually attain their majority with large
hopes A youth looks forward to his tweny-iirst
birthday as the most important milestone OF his Young lie
When that is reached shall freedom out the
large career he has planned for himself and so he ap
proaches mans estate the youth visions Often enough
Of course the pleasing prospect fails to ze and the
larger freedom he expected with his right vote is not
there Still that vision OF youth has been worth much to
humanity; has given much that is best in and cra
urc and science and furnished with its enthusiasm the
motive power Of progress.
But the youngsters who have reached the age Of cit-
zcnshp within the past year must inevitably have diff
feen outlook than of their predecessors and bet
in that it is unseliish Rough work ahead
of them and greater pers and responsibilities than most
know at such early &c but theirs is also the priv
lege OF having large part in shaping the world for bet
ter times ahead Some may to glorious death thus sud
denly the flood tide OF life but even dying theirs is
the privilege of dying wel' and they shall live on
forever enshrined in the hearts of free everywhere.
The other day read a letter from youngster at
the fighting front, a novice in the art Of little while
ago but a veteran in which he said q" wouldn't have
missed this for anything. Don't worry about me" And
thus in the blunt language OF doughboy is voiced the
sentiment and high spirit Of young America today A
million will be registering soon OF whom three
ourts likely to be in khaki within year and they
will take to young army great Of enthusiasm aud
the American will to win And we who are older who
too old at this time when youth with its great conf
