DO YOUR BIT

For the sake of dear old Uncle Sam,
Do without whate'er you can,
Be more loyal, day by day,
And help the boys who are far away.
Feed the man behind the gun,
Help all you can in Red Cross Fund,
Buy Thrift Stamp, Oh! what joy
1t brings to every girl and boy.
Boys and girls are not too small,
To win the war it will take us all.
Eat corn bread and save the wheat,
That the Allies may have more to eat.
Save the waste, control the taste,
Eat corn bread and rye.
Meatless days, wheatless days.
Eat less cream and pie.
For our Allies sake, leave out the cake,
Save part of the food, win or die.
Keep fighters fit, do your bit,
That is the reason why.

IDnYAN'o ADDRESS
At the Chautauqua, Satur-
Gay, May llth, Will Be
Patriotic

The GUARDIAN has received
the following information from
the Ellison-White Chautauqua
System, in regard to William
Jennings Bryan's lecture, which
will appear as a special feature
on the Chautauqua program:
THE quickest way out of this
War is straight through. "
A terse statement full of good
common sense and pure un-
adulterated patriotism, isn't it?
1t is sentence out of an address
by Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan,
in Chicago, in September of 1917.
By special arrangement, which
by the way, is a elimination of
five years of endeavor, we are
able to present Mr.. Bryan on
your Chautauqua program, Sat
urday afternoon, May 18th. Mr..
Bryan is taking a very hurried
trip to the Coast for US, and
yours is one of the towns that he
will visit during this trip. We
regret that we cannot secure Mr..
Bryan's time for the entire sum-
mer, as there will be hundreds
of communities wherein we give
Chautauquas, that cannot have a
lecture from him.
Mr.. Bryan will be entirely ex-
ira on your program. You will
get every one of the other lee
lures and each of the splendid
big musical attractions. The lee
ture will be free to season ticket
holders, and the regular door ad-
mission will be charged to other
than season ticket holders. This
should be a wonderful stimulant
to the season ticket sale.
Mr.. Bryan's whole heart and
soul, and that which is equally
important, his splendid keen
brain, is now dedicated to the
War which he is aiding in his
every endeavor.
Remember, that in this year
we have over fifty musicians dur
ing the week and an instructive
force of twenty or more people;
there being seventy-three on the
talent force this summer.
It's a big worthwhile pro-
gram. Let's put it "over the
top. "t: s
Sincerely yours,
ELLISON WHITE CHAUTAUQUA
SYSTEM.

end is worth our all. !"

MUST DO OUR DUTY
Every Citizen Should Buy
a Bond and Help Our
Boys"

People used to dealing in small
sums-and that means the aver.
age citizen the world over-re.
gard three billion dollars as q
vast, almost incomprehensible
sum, yet in the expense account
OF the war it is merely a detail.
Never before has war been
waged on so expensive a basis;
never before have American
troops gone beyond the seas.
Optimists, who insist that the
government is over cautious and
merely wants to have extra funds
on hand for fear they might be
needed, can have no real con-
ception of what it costs to keep
men in the front line of trenches.
Every man who gives his life for
his country is a hero, whether
ne wears medal or not, but that
man is also a hero who works at
home and gives financial aid to
his country, denying himself
luxuries which he used to con-
slider necessities and using the
financial difference with which
to buy bonds.
Most readers know, at this
day, that behind each American
soldier in France, and back of
every American sailor on the
sea, there must be a worker and
a bond buyer at home. And for
each financial Stacker" the
fighting forces, of land and sea,
have to number one man short.
But a really definite idea of what
each stay-at-home, who invests
in even a single bond, can ac-
complish is only to be gained by
perusing the most recent Treas
ury Department tabulation of it's
purchasing power.
One $50 Bond will buy % hand
grenades, or IA rifle grenades, or
81 cases of surgical instruments
for enlisted mems belts-maybe
the proceeds from your invest
ment will be used to buy this last
named equipment and prove the
means of saving many lives.
A 500 Bond will feed a soldier
for eight months, or purchase 25
pounds of ether, for operating,
or 145 hotwater bags and any,
one who has been in the agony
of pain knows the exquisite COM
fort of a hotwater bag!- or 2, 900
needles leach of which
may be used but once for fear of
infection).

Four Weeks Of Slaughter.

Four weeks ago today the Germans
began their great Offensive in France.
Today they stand battling some milss TO
the west Of their former positions, with
the lines of the allies unbfoken. Their
own losses have been enormous, far az.
ceeding, according to all evidences, thoss
of the British and French. They have
not gained military objsetivss Of I'm.
portance and they are making ground
more slowly. Blocked In their reach
for Amiens, they are now smashing for
Ypres and Arras and seeking TO pune
ture the allied defense in the north. The
line continues to hold.
How long can this furious Offensive
continued There must be . limit to
the sacrifices Germany can afford to
make in the hope of breaking through.
Each day Of check. with ito terrible
slaughter Of the assaiiants, is menace
to eventual German security, for each
day adds heavily to the size of the
American Army in France.
French observers declare that this Of

has lost perhaps half Q million men, POS.

Make the Crossings Safe.

KS Too much emphasis cannot be put
snpon the warning to pedestrians to cross
the streets at intersections, rather than
In the middle of the block. Nor can too
much emphasis be put upon the warn
ing that drivers and motorists must re-
spcct the crossing rights of pedestrians
at the corners. There are more pedes-
trians than vehicles. The bulk Of the
transit Of the city is afoot. To impede
the foot movements of the people is to
cengest the streets, and if the corner
crossings are not made safe the people
who walk will be crowded and delayed.
Washington has reached the state of
growth at which it is necessary to treat
every crossing in the downtown section
as dangerous. A guard should be sta
toned at every point where there is a
conflict of currents, to give signals that
viii insure regular impulses of travel.
The police force is at present too small
70 permit this. As an emergency meas
ure, therefore, there should be an imme-
diate addition to, the force, to assure
public safety at the crossing points.
:. Personal instruction by policemen in
the safe way of crossing the streets will
help, as far as it goes, but it cannot pos
sibly reach far. 1t would be better to
station the policemen at the crossings
than to scatter them through the crowds
watching for violators of the rule that
confines the pedestrians to the sidewalks
and intersections.
Diagonal crossing by pedestrians at
the wide spaces. such as at Pennsylvania
avenue, d, 11th and 18th streets, and
thst ut New York avenue, 18th and H
strcefs. and at such places as 18th street
and New York avenue where the car
tracks converge is highly dangerous to
pedestrians and confusing to motorists
and motormen. Perpendicular crossing,
taking little more time and few more
Btsps. II the only course Of safety. The
approaching traffic can always be kept
IN view. It is unfair to drivers Of
wagons and autos to strike "catercorner"
oser he pave on long course. Many
effhe accidents occur at such places.
= Is always better to pause and be
Buse Of the way than to spend time in
. hospital. It is always better for the
mdtorist to slaeken speed and even to
ezHI through the street than to figure
before q coroner's jury. Between speed
ing and carelessness Washington is in
tA way of leading the country in street
essidents.

that the people, and particularly the

forco the issuc and settle the matter at

This insures very lively campaign.
The drink traffic Is very strong through
out the Empire state. It commands
great wealth, and is an old and firmly
established influence in politics. It has
nominated many . candidate for Office,

ers and eaucus-fxers. At such places
politics has been almost al openly dealt
in as "booze" itself
This time the traffic will probably ex-
ert itself as never before. It Is Asht-
ing in the last ditch. In New York
and elsewhere, 1t Is on desperate de-
fensive. The battle, for some years, has
been going against it; and now or never
is the traffic's appeal to Its heges.
Prohibition had been gaining before
the war began. Both the economic
phase and the moral phase Of the ques-
ton had been under warm and wide
discussion; and whole states had given
their approval to the movement for put
