Theoretically, It Is work which the

work which has not been thorough

the freedom America grants there

allegiance to American principles and
devoted service to the Government

The school Is the place to propa-

results may be attained has already
been indicated in some of the East
Side schools. where for several
months a sort of intensive education
In Americanism has been carried out
by song and story and lecture. What
America represented, what American
democracy involved, was carefully
explained in elementary fashion, and
the instruction was pointed by the

teachers to put more spirit into their

CARRY YOUR LUNCH.
One way Out Of the High Cost OF the
Noon Meal.

To THE EDITION or TIE suN-sT. The
patrons Of a popular restaurant on Mas
sau street were made to realise the other
day that the cost of living II still going
up when they found that overnight the
pie had advanced from ave cents to ten
cents a cut, the sandwiches from 10 TO
Is cents each, the soup from 10 to Is
cents a bowl and the hot chocolate had
been dispensed with, presumably be-
cause no profit could be made by selling
II at i've cents n cup. Even cinnamon
buns had increased 100 per cent. in
price.
The writer was one of those who was
disagreeabiy affected by the increase in
price and IL set him thinking. He was
helped along in his thoughts by the
signs displayed In various parts OF the
restaurant requesting the patrons to
conserve What the writer thought was
this: The present time Ia period Of
conservation and high prices. The COM
bination seemed an insurmountable OBJ
stacle. but not for long. Then the
thought occurred, Why not bring ones
lunch? It was resolved then and there
that starting on the morrow the thought
would be put to a practical test. The
next morning the writer had his wife
put up a conservative but ample lunch.
1t was neatly tied up. brought down in
the subway and left to repose until
lunch time. At the proper time 1t was
consumed with more relish than the
writer has experienced in all the time
he has been partaking of restaurant
lunches. And moreover, 1t was more
economical.
Since he began the practice it has &C.
Cured 20 the writer that more persons
would bring their lunches IL they would
set aside their petty pride. This is no
time for pride, when the country Ii en-
gagged in a great war and VIC are re-
quested to conserve in everything. One
does not lower his dignity one iota by
carrying his lunch. but he does help hts
Government considerably. He also con-
serves his wealth. possibly his health.
besides eating with more relish.

The Calendar Of Patriotic Oppor'
tunity.

We invite special attention to Mr..
GEORGE W. PERKINs's prospectus of
the campaign in November to raise
$170, 100000 for war work by the
Young Mems Christian Association
and the six other organizations in
cluded in the comprehensive scheme.
Nothing yet written on the subject
has served to give 50 clear an idea Of
the scope and purpose of this stupen-
dous enterprise Of patriotism and Of
willing sacrifice that there may be
made easier the task of the Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors who are
winning the war for us.
1t is. we believe, at President VIII
soN'S suggestion that instead or
seve1 separate appeals to public gem
crosby there is to be one general
campaign for subscriptions. on the
war chest plan. with q predetermined
schedule Of distribution among the
several organizations participating.
This combination of effort Is not only
economically but also psycholOgically
advantageous. 1t reduces vastly the
machinery and the cost Of collection,
and therefore makes every dollar
count for more ut the front; and 1t
avoids the strain upon public pa
thence which is likely to result from
too frequently repeated calls even
for objects manifestly worthy and
undoubtedly urgent.
1t is the fashion to speak Of these
great outpourings Of the republics
heart and pocket as "drives." If
this is in fact to be drive" it is a
drive aimed ut the enemy's lines;
and the momentum Of the impulse Is
exerted straightway in the direction
of Berlin. We can add nothing to-
Mr.. PERKINs's luminous explanation
of the military value Of that high
morale among our troops which the
two Christian Associations. the Young
Mems and the Young Women's, the
Knights of Columbus and the Ma
tional Catholic War Council, the Jew
fish Welfare Board, the War Camp
Community Service. the American
Library Association and the Saliva
tion Army are independently and
unitedly doing so much to sustain.
1t IL for us over here TO 60 to our
bottom dollar IL need be to enable
them to keep up their splendid and
Indispensable work.
Next, therefore, after October.
when comes the united public re-
Spouse to the call of the Government
to make the subscription to the
fourth Liberty loan a record event.
comes the opportunity in November
to make life at the front more toler-
able and more comfortable and more
cheerful for the men who are there
fighting for us; anu it is not too early
now to begin TO get ready to fill the
great war chest to ovephowing.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
In No Mans Land black shadows spread
Across the still forms Of the dead

In Italy the American Red Cross
has had a mission materially differ
ent from that which It had under
taken in any other country. HENRY
+. DAWSON In his recent statement
expresses this when he says that the
labors of the commission and its as.
sistants had been twofold: to afford
aid and succor to those In distress
and to bear the advance message of
fraternal activities on the part OF
the United States to those upon
whom the stress of brulc was fall.
Ing. Upon the Red Cross rested the
first work Of offsetting the adroitly
managed German propaganda to
make the italian soldier and his de.
pendents feel that they were to re.
ceive no support from America. The
method which the organization chose
to counteract this propaganda was
the most effective possible. 1t offered
no promises; it accomplished the
things necessary to inspire conf
dence among the Italians.
In one month the Department of
Civil Affairs of the Red Cross under.
took the distribution of n special
gift of $1,2s6. 200 to the needy fami-
lies Of soldiers Mt the front. The
distribution was made rapidly and
reached all parts of the country at
once. In three weeks 1851 cities
and towns were reached by the rep
resentatives of the American Red
Cross and contact was established
with additional communes which the
representatives were unable to reach
on account Of difficulties of trans.
portation. 'The gift itself was of
less Importance" says the report,
than the opportunity afforded by
the distribution for carrying all over
the country, even to the remotest
villages, the message Of Americas
devotion to the common cause"
All the relief measures have been
designed to meet conditions directly
created by the war and have been ex-
tended to families of combatants and
refugees who were driven from their
homes in northern Italy by the Aus
trian invasion. The relief measures
have every regard for Italian tradi.
ton and customs. and they aim ut
supporting the responsibility of the
adult and at terrifying the physical
and moral well being of the child.
The Department of Civil Affairs of
the Red Cross has under its direct
care 21,03S children, 1t supports vari-
Gus institutions giving employment
to 3,021 women, girls and old men
in Its thirty-nine soup kitchens 1t
serves 1853 rations weekly, and
from its canteens it served in one
month 42,9S4 meals to refugees who
were In transit.
Besides this work the Red Cross
has located three refugee colonies
which are now practically self-sup-
porting. The most recent of these
is the village for Venetian refugees
Just outside the old walls of Pisa.
OF this village the report says:
THE village Is planned to house 1000
people. The houses. built OF a special

600. Last year was the first time that
the forest areas were 30 generally
thrown open to stock men. This WINS
considered a desirable measure In view
OF the present demand for increased
meat production. The land served this
purpose and at the same time, accord
ing to the report, the forestry officials
have been able to regulate the use of
the national domain carefully and "to

ate from central square. called the
Piazss San Marco. where are grouped

hospital. laundry, shops, kitchen and
workroom for women"
When IL Is remembered that the
organization was effected In italy
only last December, it can be well
understood with what energy the
work has been pressed. The London
Times referred to the activities as
"a whirlwind campaign throughout
the whole Of italy carried on with
characteristic American thorough
ness and vigor." The gratifying
thing was the reception given to the
American representatives Of the Red
Cross. From one end Of Italy to the
other, In the cities, towns and vii
lagos, It attained the proportions OF
a public fiesta, participate ted In by the
people, officials OF the state and mu-
nicipal governments, and the local
war relief associations. Again and
again 1t was apparent how fully the
Italians understood the spirit Of the
gift, how genuinely their demonstra-
lions were prompted by enthusiasm
over the assurance of Americans
great effort for the war" The Red
Cross is thus nobly performing Its
twofold work in Italy; 1t is fulfilling
Its mission Of mercy, It has knocked
the German propaganda into a
cooked hat.
