lie did not so speak, but he allowed
ms personal venom to override his
Judgment; his course was dictated by
hatred OF individuals and not by love
of country. His speeches, l have no
doubt, were reported in Germany, his
power here was greatly overrated
there, and the German nation was ami
mated to greater resistance because
they thought one of our great leaders
was their firm friend and supporter.
II Governor Blease should be elected
to the senate, it would inspire the SOL
dlers and people of Germany to great

lleVe that America was about to drop
out of the war. Thousands of Amer

ly believe that his election would so
strengthen the morale of the German
people and army that it would be
equivalent to a reinforcement of
quarter of million soldiers.

"There is tide in the affairs of men,

The stricken European countries

permitted to lag, but must be kept
rigidly before US, so that the recov-

A JOB FOR THE WHOLE WORLD.

Outstanding among the phenomena
Of the great war is the great truth
that this has been war of the people
and therefore it is the business of
the people to see it through to the
last act of restoration and reconstruc-
ton. A thought to be avoided is that
the war is over when an armistice is
reached and certified. Nothing could
be less practical.
We have preached, Individually and
nationally, that this has not been a
war of the military, but that it has
been struggle of all elements of
human economy. We have agreed
that food would win the war, that
coal would win the war, that ships
would win the warm short, that
the conservation Of all necessities
bore directly upon the issue of vic
tory. Thus far we have been in
thorough harmony in all these pro-
jects.

CHRISTMAS TREATING"

It seems almost irreligious to COM
pare Christmas giving with barroom
treating. But in one of its forms
the institution hardly reaches high
er plane. Smith treats Jones because
he has met him on the sidewalk and
wants to show that he feels friendly.
Neither of them wants drink. Jones
buys back to show that he isn't az
tightwad. Then Smith buys to show
that he didn't buy the first drink just
to get one in return. So Jones buys
to reciprocate. Brown wolks in, and
being a regular he has met Smith
there before So he buys for the
crowd; then each of the other two
buys. Reciprocity again. And then
it's Browns turn. This isn't lee
ture on prohibition, but on expen-
diture. The flood of chemical fluid
that Smith, Jones and Brown pour
into themselves may not hurt them,
but is wastes their money and gives
them no fun. They all know they
don't want it, but they spend to show
they aren't tightwads. Christmas
presents given for the same purpose
are a discretion of the Institution.
The motive is a selfish one to start

Two Trips to Hartford.

Dear Uncle Jed: I write you about my two trips to Hartford this winter.
 When we had our Thanksgiving va cation from Thursday to Monday. on Wednesday my father waited till l came home from school and we took saw and an ax and we sawed and split wood. Then we began to pack up the wagon and we got through about 12 o'clock. So we harnessed the double team and started through the night with a lantern on the wag- on and one under the blanket.
 During the night it was showing When we came to East Hartford l was still dreaming as if in bed till all |, of 8 sudden I saw a bear jump into my bed and I jumped ID and instead I was sitting in the seat and my fa- ther was driving the horses.
 When we came to Hartford 1t was still dark and about four o'clock sd we rode to the market where there were some peddlers' automobiles with the drivers asleep within.
 We had two turkeys and as we stopped they began to cry out So loudly they wakened everybody.
 So the hours passed slowly and it began to get light and people began to flock from all sides.
 About four o'clock D. m. we went to Windsor street and stayed there til Il at night. Friday my father rode home and there ended my Hartford trip.
 About weeks ago teacher was sick and went home Saturday. I thought : = -@-'-- = -.ii TnAsday and then said.

cared for so many wounded during the Civil war.
 Red Cross nurses never finch or hesitate, and they seldom think of themselves Hundreds of these brave women have gone to France to com fort the dying and wounded.
 Many hospitals are located near the firing line, and many a German shell falls around, even close to the nurses, but they know no such word as fear.
 Nurses most possess different quali- ties. They must be well educated, fearless and must know what to do in an emergency. Before a lady be- comes nurse she must pass a cer- tain examination.
 There are many rich ladies in France who. besides being nurses, have given their large houses to be used as hospitals. and they themselves care for the wounded.
 A certain rich French lady who is a Red Cross nurse trained several dogs to find wounded soldiers: She has taught them to bring back hats of the men and then, with the dog as her guide, she herself goes to the men.
 Don't you think this is fine thing for dog to do? He. too, it seems, is doing his bit for his country.
 The Red Cross nurses are a great service at the present time. I do not know what we would do without these brave and noble women. MINNIE MOPsIK, Age 14. Norwich.

T must go to Hartford tomorrow" So took an ax, went into the wood, and made pile of logs Then 1 went home, took the horse. brought it to the Woodshed, and worked till night. As I sat taking a rest I asked my fa ther if I could go to Hartford. but he said that I must chop wood.
 I began to laugh. and he got angry and went out, but when he saw all that wood he turned happy, came in to the house smiling. and said: For that surprise you may go." was as happy as I could me.
 We started out Wednesday morn ing, passing Wilmington, Holland and Rockville instead of Mansfield Depot, Coventry and Bolton Notch. We reached Hartford at night and went to the stable.
 Thursday we were in the street and sold nothing till my father went away and customers began to flock
 I sold seven dozen eggs and got three and one half dollars before my father returned.
 Friday no one bought anything till night.
 Saturday we rode home and saw many queer animals and accidents.
 In one of the accidents an automo bile tipped over, gasoline began to leak out, tires were falling off and two men were tumbling out. I have already read nearly all the books in school and would like to read yours, but I would rather help my country so if this letter wins prize 1 would rather have a thrift stamp than a book.

The Red Cross Society.

War would be even sadder if there were no one to see that the wounded were properly taken care of.
 Florence Nightingale, a wealthy English girl fully realized this, so established nursing as profession for women
 One winter she visited a London hospital; she was mortified at the un- sanitary conditions of it. so determined to devote her life to hospital work. Then she spent some time studying in Europe.
 When the Crimean war broke out she was called by the British govern ment as the first woman to enter a British military hospital She proved to be a real angel of mercy to the sick and dying.
 But her work did not end at the Crimean war. Her example inspired Henri Dunant, a Swiss gentleman, with the idea of an international or ganization to sarry on the work she had begun. Seeing that one nation could not do this work alone, he call- ed together a council of 14 nations at Geneva, Switzerland In 1864 an international treaty gave to the world the society of the Red Cross. The flag of the society is that Of Switzerland reversed, red cross on white field. Its motto is 'sHu- manity and neutrality" which means that its members care for all, regard less of race or creed. All this took place in Europe.
 Here in America it was Clara Bar. ton who introduced the Red Cross She saw what good 1t did in Europe during the war of 1870. Largel, through her efforts, the Geneva treaty was signed by the United States ant the American Red Cross was estab. | lished.
