The following very remarkable story, written

Quoted by The Tattler staff, and was published in
the Freshman number of the Tattler. The Journal
takes pleasure in publishing this short story on
it's editorial page, not only because of the pride
taken in The young writer herself but because
Of the striking way in which she handles her
subject. The subject and it's treatment would
have done credit to any newspaper in the
country:
"The kaiser of Germany was addressing
his military staff at Berlin. On his face, as well
as ON the face of each of his staff, cleaned a
wicked smile. And no wonder, for the kaiser
was outlining Gernany's Xmas for 1918. And
if we listen to the kaiser's Xmas plan for Ger
many, will SMILE too, yet it will be in a quite
different way. Yes, we'll smile, for the kaiser
planned to eat the biggest dinner in history in
Paris. And he going to give a Christmas
gift to each member of his staff. A gift?
Rather a portion of his conquered territory.
And Germany? What was Germany to get?
Germany was to be leader of the world. Germany
to rule France, England, and possibly
America. Germany's people were to be the
leading people, not only of Europe, but also of
the world. Germany was to have dominion
over the seas. So they smiled, for the kaiser
and his military staff were dreaming and
planning a world empire. So they smiled but
now
It's December 20, 1918. Christmas dawns

On Pigeon Island, off the coast of Holland in
one-room house, sits Bill Hohenzollern, for he
is kaiser no longer. Santa Claus has come to
him. and just Santa Claus leaves switches for
bad little boys so he has left for Bill something
to remind him that he has been wicked. The
world has cried out that he be punished, so
Santa Claus has left him a Lusitania-a Lusi-
tania, sinking, with women and children scream
ing for help. Santa Claus has left him millions
of little boys, handess, with mutiliated stubs
for arms, their lives ruined because of Bill and
his idea of warfare. Santa Claus has left him
millions of fatherless babies, who will actually
have to struggle for existence. And Santa Claus
has left him a despoed Belgium, desolated
France, a ruined Germany, the hatred of the
world and troubled conscience

NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS DAY
MUST BE MADE BIG SUCCESS.

The National War Savings Commit
tee, which is carrying on, through Its
state and local committees, a nation
wide campaign to get all the people
on or before June % to pledge them
selves to save to the utmost of their
ability and to buy War Savings
Stamps with their savings, has given
out the following statement:
"Those of us who remain at home
while others do the fighting have an
ever-increasing number of opportuni-
ties to do definite and highly import
ant work for our country. We wish to
do this work as an expression of the
gratitude which we feel in being priv
LEGGED to continue at our usual tasks.
to enjoy the loving companionship of
our families, to meet freely with cur
friends and neighbors, to enjoy all the
security Of life and most of the pleas
ures and the economic privileges of
peace times, while other men who
have had to put aside all these things
are fighting our battles for us on the
sacred soil of France and on the high
seas.
"0ur new opportunity to serve
comes as a result of designating Jure
% as National War Savings Day a
day on which all men and women and
all children of sufficient years to ap-
preciate the years significance are
called upon to pledge themselves 70

to conserve all possible labor and ma

The Huns have come to this side
now with their submarines, hoping
doubtless, to force US to the necessity
of withdrawing some of our ships
from the western zone. But in this
they wilr be mistaken. Our govern
ment will find a way to take care Of
this new menace while at the same
time doing her part over there. Per-
haps they also hope to put check on
our transportation of soldiers, but in
this also will they fail. About the
only thing which they can accomplish
will be the arousing of our people to
a still greater effort against Germany.
1t will help US to see our duty more
clearly. Ii will help us to realize more
fully and more quickly how essential
it is that every man, woman and child
go the limit in supporting our gov
eminent in this titanic struggle.

Huge stores Of supplies Of every con
eeivable description are being rushed
across the Atlantic; army after army
is being trained and dispatched, until
the American forces and equipment On
the other side are fast attracting the
attention of the world and sending
cold shivers up and down the German
spine.
The kaiser's boast to Mr.. Gerard
that he had 100000 German reservists
in this country, and ready to take up
arms at his word of command has the
ring of huge joke. If they are here
they at least know how to preserve
their whole skins.
We have hit our stride at last, and
now let's keep it up until complete
victory is ours. Kaiserism, with its
attendant train of evils, must perish
from the earth.
And let us not for one moment for
get that America is the deciding fac
tor in the war.

than 1OO,OOO,OOO people. If everyone
would do his share. it would be nee
essary for each person to subscribe to
only $50 worth of stamps.
''The duty of US at home is to see
to it that the entire amount is sub
scribed. We must work to that end.
We must add to our already great ar
my of war savers. We must make
more sacrifices ourselves and urge
sacrifices upon others. National War
Savings day must be made the great
success all of us hope for"

LENDING AND GIVING.

1t will be well for our people to get
a correct line on the various calls that
are being made, and will be made on
their purses before this titanic strug-
gle is fought to finish.
We must get the distinction between
giving and lending.
In the first place, we might state
that our government has not asked
and will not ask, for one cent of gift
money. The extent of its call is for
loans-and for loans on which it pro
poses to pay fair rates of interest.
The man or woman who buys govern
ment bonds does NOT sacrifice for
the cause, in the sense in which we US
ually employ the word. At the most
his action entails but temporary in
convenience, in diverting his means 70
different channels from those in which
he is accustomed to employ them. In
the end he has the full worth of his
money in the soundest securities on
earth-the promise of the U. S. gov
eminent to pay.
But there are calls being made that
entail direct giving. The activities Of
the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the
Knights of Columbus, ETC., are for
money from which there will be no
financial return. Yet these calls must
be met, and met fully and cheerfully.
Why should We support these great
causes? Because they constitute the
great humanizing agencies in the grim
machinery of war. Their work is to
remedy the physical hurt and undo
the moral hurt that must inevitably
result from war. An army without the
Red Cross would be unthinkable in |
this humanitarian twentieth century. |
The horrors of war, at It's best, are
great, but without the ministrations
of the Red Cross our armies could not
endure.
Likewise without the civilizing infu-
ences Of the religious and social or
CARNATIONS, the morals of our troops
would suffer deeply. Their minds
must be diverted from the grim duties
Of slaughter, and they be brought

MEXICO, THE UNCERTAIN.

Just now the world is wondering
what is behind the action of Mexico in
severing diplomatic relations with Gu
ba.
In the history of nations, severance
Of relations has always been regarded
as but a step from a declaration Of
war, and in rare instances has a ma
ton failed to take the second step.
Will Mexico take the usual second
step?
And should she do so, have we
thought what effect this will have up
on this country?
Cuba is nominally under the pro-
lection of the United States. Since
that island was freed from Spanish
rule, we have assumed the responsible
ity for permanent peace in the little
republic Can we evade our RESPONSE
bility from an outside foe as well?
If Mexico were any other country
than just Mexico, one might form
some plausible guess as to the out
come of the matter. But being Next
co, the Uncertain, all guesses are fu-
tile.

DANGERS OF ovER-coNFIDENcE

DANGERS OF OVER CONFIDENCE
No greater calamity could overtakI
this country than for our people t
become possessed of the erroneous be-
lief that the war is as good as won
and that further strenuous exerti0n
is unnecessary.
The war is not won, and unless al
indications are misleading, is not likely
to be won soon. The forces contend
ing for victory are far too evenly
matched for either to obtain any de-.
cided victory.
All the men, women and children IF
this country should nerve themselves
constantly remind themselves that
their utmost exertion and sacrifice is
imperatively demanded. Any other
attitude must result in weakening Of
the will to win, and a consequent
slackening of effort-and these at this
stage of affairs would be fatal to our
cause.
Of course it is barely possible thai
some fortunate circumstance may be-
fall to throw victory to our arms, but
this is extremely unlikely until we
have greatly increased our streng.h
on the fighting front.
So let us reach out otter four or
five millions of fighting men, put them
on the front, and SUSTAIN them. It
must not be said that America. ai5
zion mat has never Yet dshe trisilt.,,,s

war, the silver lining embodied IN the
ideal peace conditions for which they

1T doesn't necessarily require patriot

hearts of our people.
And thanks to a God of mercy, it is
