WAR OBSERVATIONS.
Given by Mrs. w. c. Speakman Before
Washington Heights Century Club.

Members of the Washington Heights
Century Club listened last evening with
much interest to an address by Mrs.
William c.. Speakman in the assembly
hall of Public School No 80. The address
was based on the personal observations
and experiences of the speaker in France
during the second nd third years of the
war
OF England's part in the struggle she
said "Only during the recent weeks, since
hostiities have been suspended, has been
revealed the extent of England's sacrifice.
"NTore than three million of the flowers OF
her manhood have been slain, her un
daunted womanhood has worked hard
tilIing the soil, making munitions, and
then, although cut down to the bone, as
Lloyd George has put it, when America
asked for ships in order to transport her
soldiers to France, she responded whole
heartedly.

after a tribute to the hospitality of
the city. he said that on their entire
trip through the South they had heard
again and again of the beautiful wo-
men of the South, but that never,
until they came to Pensacola were
they permitted association with the
beautiful creatures, and that every
man who went on the bay party en-
joyed this feature as much as any
other.
Mr.. Bower explained the purpose of
the trip taken each year, and said
that this year IL had as one of its
purposes a visit to the southern train
ing camps where Ohio men were sta
toned, so the home boys" would know
that they had not been forgotten.
Its main object, however, he said
was the cementing of closer personal
relations between the buyer and sell
Ter, and that businesh men of Ohio re-
allied the advantage of knowing the
men of the south with whom they do
business.
After Mr.. Bowers speech the meet
ing adjourned, and realizing that the
visitors had been entertained every
minute of their stay in other cites
they had visited, 1t was decided u
leave the afternoon and evening open
for them to do as they pleased.

Is Passive Loyalty Enough?

+, by agents of Germany that Herbert
Hoover, Federal Fuel Administrator,
received a salary of $4,000 a year
and lived in luxury. The truth is he
gives his services to the Government
and lives very modestly. Then 1t has
been said that sides of beef and great
quaint q IS of food were wasted at
our army environments. Or that this
is erich mans war" and the food
prices were made only to help the big
fellow. DO not be tempted to repeat
such beastly lies even if you feel that
they have some foundation Surely
in a great undertaking, such as has
been thrown on our statesmen, there
finder and complainer.
Of you believe in our cause, say so
as often and as forcibly as the oppor-
tunity permits. Do not radiate pessi-
mism and gloom. We are in this
figt to win and our country is
sweeping aside all obstacles and over
coming all handicaps and marching
with great strides towards victory.
Do not utter a word, orr perform an
act hiatt might possibly delay success
Watch your step and speak only the
loyal word.
Every small mistake or unfortunate
condition is magnified in the mind of
the pesssimist and it is here that the
German agent starts his treacherous
work, There have been slight cpl
dcmic in our training camps and
some lack of proper equipment for
the men, but we are going to consider
such things as unfortunate but, after
all, inevitable in such a gigantic
undertaking, or are we going about
bowling calamity and predicting
failure? do not believe the trouble
mongers and the SANDER serpents,
even if you can not prove what they
say is a gross exageration or black
lie.
Although censorship is absolutely
necessary to guard our military
secrets we have been assured by the
president that the people would be in
formed of any calamity. So when
you hear that a dozen American
transports have been sunk and the
government is trying to keep the news
back, go after that rumor as you
would a mad dog and run it down.
Here then, is something that ell
we Stay t-Homes can do to help
Uncle Sam and the boys who have
gone forth to fight for us. Every
man and women can help render
great service by combating these
lies: explaining to the person that
tells them why they should not be
believed, and, and refusing to repeat
them.
The truth of the matter is that
these means are those of an auto
cracy that is doomed. They are crop
ing at straws to save themselves from
the wrath of the civilized world and
the accusing anger of their own
people. Swear to yourself today
that you are the class that is with
us heart body and soul. 1t will help
nightly to It'd the war and crush
the nest of verrnin that started it.

II No, a thousand times no. Youl
how little it may be. Unfortunately
many of US do not realize this. We
are proud to be Americans;we think
we are loyal; yet we are Sinking our
duty if we do not help i'll some active
way, Many will argue, that they
would Like to but what isPossible for
them, would be so little # would be
! useless. This is not co for. t is by the
little efforts in the right direction,
when multiplied by the millions, that
go to make up our population, that we
| shall win this struggle. Consider, for
an instance, the saving OF food or the
purchase of war saving stamps. The
result will be a gigantic total made
selves seem infinitesimal.
Many of US are only beginning to
realize that this war is our war. And
mean by "our war" not NEARLY
Ameica's war, but your war and my
war. Now is the time we should rec
ognlze but two classes of citizens
those who are for us and those who
are against us. This is no time for
passive loyalty. For many of us
who are sincerely loyal at heart
are unconsciously a great drawback
to the cause. They are tricked by the
crafty German agents, that swarm
over the country, and unwittingly
play into their hands by repeating
malicious gossip. The Germans az
spreading this poison to break our
loyalty and unity and so loosen our
hold on the throat of the barbarous

must be exposed and their originators
punished. We should consider our
selves as detectives for the Govern
ment and when those treacherous
stories come to our ears trace them
to their source and report the name
of the culprit to the authorities.
These lies are many and varied
You may have heard perhaps, that
the Liberty engine has been a collos-
sal failure, multiplying the efforts OF
our government to turn out a stupen-
dous air fleet. Or that mutiny has
broken out in our army and navy and
the men are not willing to fight.
Then it has been said that the English
and American troops are hostile to
each other and will not cooperate.
The Germans realize the power of
these seditious stories and are con-
stantly starting new ones to go their
rounds and help to dim the loyalty
of every man who harbors them. We
must guard against credulity when we
heard slanderous remarks or terrify-
ing gossip. Even when we have on
direct proof it is far to refuse
to repeat rumors that can not posi-
bly, be of help and will surely be of
harm.

PATRIOTIC BALL
ON FRIDAY NIGHT

A novel event as we'll as a patri
Otto celebration is promised on Fri
day night at the Keyser auditorium
when a George Washington ball will
be given. The feature of this eel
ebration of Washington's birthday,
will be the Inauguration of The
Country Store the same as has
been in vogue in many of the larger
cities. "The Country Store" has
been the feature with numerous thea
tres and public dances throughout the
country, and it gives an opportunity
to the many amusement lovers to
participate in the fun of this fea-
ture. All the goods" at the store
will be for many of those who at
tend.
Possibly the most telling feature
of this event will be the distribution
of appropriate souvenirs of Wash
ington's birthday, which means that
all who attend this ball will be pre-
scented with an attractive souvenir.
Of all the events scheduled to occur
on Washington's birthday, probably
none will have the most super tang
of enjoyment than will this original
celebration which will doubtless draw
large crowds.

The Welfare Board was Organized to

! both on this side and abroad, ifnmed-
iately after the outbreak Of the war.
The local work was initiated almost
simultaneously with the founding Of
the National office. Augusta was one
OF the first town communities or
/ branches to be organized, and Camp
Hancock was one of the earliest can
tonments to receive the attention of
the national office.
The Jewish Welfare Board aimed tn
serve all men in the service indiscrim
inately. However, in the early stages
Of the game the officials realized their
special fitness and the urgent neces-
sity Of serving the Jewish men, and
paid greater attention to those camps
which had large masses of men from
large Eastern communities. Camp Han
cock, in the early part of the draft did
not have the enormous New York pop
ulation that 1t harbors at the present
time, and to tell the truth Camp Han
cock was bit neglected by the Ma
tional Board. For many months we
had one sole representative who had
his hands fun with work, attending to
purely administrative tasks at his lit
tie office in the rs, and who was pre-
occupied with community organiza-
ton. The pioneer representatives who
enjoyed the kind hospitality of Y 7G
were Mr.. Kurtz Mr.. Landman and Mr.
Lucks. Their camp activities we're of
necessity narrowed down and circum-
scribed.
Within the past few months Camp
Hancock has become what might be
