Let the federal government take
the wires OF the nation as is now be-
ing asked of congress by the admin
istration seeking such as war meas
ure asked in advance of a coming
pressing need. They have broken
down ia sense and have failed the
country ia the hour of war something
like the ralroads-maybe not quite
as bad-but those who use the wires
any considerable time know how the
service degenerated and those long
anxious delays which the public has
suffered, SO let the federal govern
ment get hold of them and reorgan-
ize the system so that messages will
no longer hang up for hours in relays
and more economy be secured bv
federatlng the whole into one coop
Grating sv item which eliminates UNI
necessary doubles on help and finds
the best trained talent for the
Jobs.

Out Of No Man S Land
By
HARRY IRVING GREENE

Father:
This wonderful letter that l am writ
ing you-a miracle letter. / was hurt,
badly, but am going to get well. It
happened like this-you know / am
not allowed to name place or date.
No Mans Land We were raiding
1t by night, three of us-scouting,
prowling. 1t was as dark as the dun
geons of inferno, but often they sent
up signal shells--roseate, bursting
things that bathed all that evil land
in blood-red light. When their glare
flared over us we had to stand as we
were caught, hand or foot appraised
moveless objects In the red glow until
the light snuffed out and all was dark
once more.
We reached the German entangle-
ments and began cutting them with
our oiled clippers. We were careful,
very careful but we were not careful
enough. They heard us. Over came
two bombs.
The three Of us went down In a row.
Jack and Tom never knew what hit
them. ! was hurt too badly to be able
to get up.
/ lay there-all night-groaning-
calling for help. Twenty feet away /
could hear the boches in their trench
laughing at me, cursing me.
Morningl My last. could endure
It no more. was dying-bleeding. !
said my last prayer
And then
Since the dawn of time do not be-
lieve the world has seen a more glori-
GUS thing. From the hill tops our ar,
tillery laid down a box barrage fire
and under 1t, heads raised like EN-
perors and shoulders squared, came
ak men, stretcher bearers. AS though
they had been on parade they came
forth ip broad daylight into the very
teeth of the enemy and picked up
what was left of Jack, Tom and me,
As though we had been their own
brothers they bore US back, swiftly,
gently. Then do you know what those
Huns did?
Opened FIRE on us--the dead, the
bearers Of the dead and man who lay
Quivering at the threshold of death.
Two Of the six bearers went down,
The other four brought them back
along with what was left of Jack, Tom
and me.
And when / awoke In the hospital
after the operation, deathly sick but
back from the nightmare-land and
with the sunlight upon me, whom do
you think ! saw bending over me, the
red cross upon her sleeve, babbling,
laughing. crying, kissing me7

There has been a good deal of talk
about big busi"e S being responsible

honest people thought so, and they
NAV have had cause for so thinking
evidently the moneyed folks have

let no opportunity pass to fill up
their money chests, but verify their
day of reckoning is coming. When

and no telling how many other taxes,
they will pull their hair and wish
that they were poor like the rest of

that he was glad to see it on account
of the profits he hoped to reap. but

What have we In common to cause
us to rise at the call of common Inn
pulse and prepare TO die for common
the Characteristic dreams of the Rus
sian, the Italian, the Belgian, the
Scotch, the Irish or the Portuguese It
would be possible to catch the CLEAN of
idealism which has given to the French
the glorious title of the Hero Nation"
But none of these would suffice. We
must take a cross section of all Of
them, and a dozen more, to formulate
the ideals which course In common
through them all after they have been
united into what we call America For
II is common ideals which have trans
formed the men and women of all these
races and kindreds and tongues into
our nation, which stands today facing
the grim fact of war, war to which
no man dare call them In the name of
race, or language, or previous allegi-
ance.
World Citizenship.
The President has placed our inter
vention in this war upon a plane Of
idealism to which ever. citizen, of
whatever race. may rally without los
ing hold upon the best traditions of
the land from 'hich his forefathers
have come. 1t is not the call of mar
row nationalism, but the call Of world
citizenship.
Our entrance into this war is no con-
cession to the accursed gospel OF force
and fraud. We wish nothing for our
selves, but have resolved Ito quote the
oft quoted words of our Presidency
that "the world must be made safe for
democracy-and its peace-planned
upon the trusted basis of political lib
erty." We scorn the idea that might
is right" but we are willing to take
our part in policing the world against
the madmen who act upon that Joe
trine.
"How High Your ldeaIs?"
History will not ask us or any other
nation, "How big was your armyr but
"How high were your ideals?" Not
"How vast your navy?" but What was
your devotion to duty?" Not How
quickly could you mobilize?" but
"What thought have you contributed
toward the betterment Of mankind"
To those questions Germany can an
swer, II cor ributed to the world the
idea of repre- entation," for, as Monies
quieu tells US, the representative idea
was "born In the forests of Germany"
She will have to confess, however, that
she cast it out naked infant, in or
der to make room for the throne Of
the great, black idol, military power,
and today America and her allies are
marching in resistless columns, carry
ing that founding back to its home.

This is all fine, constructive and
promising. But the thing about
the program which seems new, and
deserving OF special mention, is this:
The men held up as models for emu
iation are taken, not from the past,
but from the present, To illustrate
success along various lines the boys
are told about such heroes as Thorn
as Edison, Andrew Carnegie. Charles
N. Schwab. John Wauamaker, Hen

probably face an entire change In
their business
At the present time this falls most
heavily on the confectionery and soft
drink industries, because of the lack
OF vessels to transport the raw sugar
from abroad. The less essentials ars
eiassed as soda water, coca-cola, cam
dies and such things as use large
quantities of sugar, and are not con-
Eidered a food.
The housewife who has to can her
fruit fares much more literally. and
may be allowed to use as much SUI
gar as the requirements demand for
the preserving OF fruits and ~egeta-
bles. This also applies to the manu-
facturer of ice cream, as he is con-
sidered to be serving a food.
1t Is well for US to look at these
conditions with due consideration to
the need of our army and allies. and
compare our abundant allotment with
that of France and England, where
at present they are allowed but a Lit.
tie more than one pound Of sugar
per person per month, whils we are
allowed three pounds
In the use. of sugar keep in mind
the need OF our army and allies, and
encourage yourself to be more care

sure that it will give you satisfaction

practice is not self-denial, but an op-
portunity for you to assist in hum
