Smile, Smile, Smile.

What have we to smile about:
Shall we not rejoice that after 40 years
OF warning, that after 100 years Of sloth
and waste. Of selfshncss and contempt
iblc complacency, our country, the land
of the free and equal, has at last been
almost awakened?
Within year college professor has
been transformed into a warrior, a legion
of milk-andwater politicians have been for
the most part converted to active pa
triotism A million OF our pampered, over
fed and UNDETERMINED youth have been
made into the finest army of loyal man
hood ever seen.
And we as a nation come into the
full knowledge without being told that the
half billion dollars of German money
spent to prostitute the conscience Of this
country has been wasted.
And we know that before the war is
over politics and parties and caste and
classes among the American people will
be all ironed out, and that according to
their usefulness the best men and women
will come to the front and lead us to
victory.
Moreover, there is no spilled milk to cry
about If the war should cease now,
what we have spent to- prepare for 1t IN
money and effort. in pain and sacrifice,
is a small price for the lessons we have
already learned and the actual good it
has done
Let US hope and pray that we may
learn fast and act quickly 50 that the
price Of our learning and the penalty
for our ignorance and sloth may not be
too severe upou those who must bear the
brlnt of it.
And as we come to understand more and
! more what it means to awaken a nation
| conscience orr good and true emotions
will make rs smile and smile and smile

COMPEL BELGIAN YOUTHS

Germans Forcing Men, Women and
Children Into State Of Servitude
in Military Zone, Says Protest.

As part of the practice of COM
Wandering labor. the German military
authorities in Belgium have registered
all youths above thirteen in the region
of Mons and are employing many be-
tween IA and II in digging and grading
close to the trenches north of Verdun
and near St. Mihiel. the American sec
tor. said advices received today by the
Belgian legation.
A protest of Belgian senators received
at the legation says the Germans are
forcing men. women and children into a
state of servitude throughout the mill
tary zone, which comprises all Flanders
and a considerable part of Hainaut and
Luxembourg.
"At Erneghem. village of Flanders"
says the legations statement, the bod
les of ten children who had died near the
front were taken back to their parents.
In the region of Mons a census has been
taken of all youths over thirteen; good
many of them have already been taken
to the front under armed guard and I'M
der most pitiable conditions. Mons has
been obliged to supply $50 youths, half
of them not out of grammar school; st.

the habits of the enemy in that par

routine firing of the day or night dur
inRperiods Of normal activity. Certain
open spaces. cross roads. gulleys. etc.

hours of the day or night, and the SAM

these exposed places during these
periods.

order to be able to utilize them dur
ing the engagement.
"The battalion surgeon must often,
perhaps usually, extemporize the first
aid station within enemy lines. AS soon
as he has done this he must indicate
to his personnel the proper evacuation
routes for the wounded. When an ad-
vance is contemplated or severe at

Those accustomed to think of the
combatant unit will be astonished by
suggestions prepared for the conduct
of military surgeons newly arrived in
the war zone. A bulletin from the Of
flee of the surgeon general sums up
the technical military knowledge
which an Army surgeon to do his duty
competently must have. and incident
ally shows exposure to which he is
subject.

mental surgeon arrives in new sec
