But work will beat them all. The mechanism turn

War brings out the best in some people, and the

People persist in speaking of giving for Liberty
bonds It isn't giving, but investing. One takes ex

bond as he would take in becoming possessor of a

1T is said that the war depart
ment has decided to compel enemy
prisoners in America to earn their
keep. A very good decision, but
it's likely to prove rather hard on
the Hun chappies after having
waxed fat on good American grub
and no work during the last sew
eraI months that they have spent
in their paradise-like internment
camps.

ACCORDING to a report just
made public insanity is greatly on
the decline. In England and Wales
there are more than three thou
sand fewer persons being cared for,
and the experts making the report
conclude with evidently a great

tai steadiness." It's our opinion
the war has driven everybody so
batty that there is none fit enough
to judge who is or is not, sane.
Therefore the decrease.

NOW the women come forward

the comforting of military rank upon

as long to act as it did on suffrage,

haven't got them yet. Some Of those
bo.s Of ours have been cited at least
twice for bravery to my knowledge.
Say. never again will ever laugh at
a Salvation Army lassie. The Saliva
ton Army, with its small but efficient
corps. has EN- all beat at the front.
The X. of G. also Is great. Why, just
today, X. Of G. man was up here to
the very front ana gave-not sold
out chocolate, cigarettes and chew
ing gum. 1 know, for l got some.
That's nearer than I've seen some
others to the front.
You really know more about this
war than do; for when we are way
up ,ere, where we can't get the Paris
edition Of the New York Herald, Chi
cage Tribune and London Mail, the
stun Is old when 1t does arrive. MY
opinion Is this:
Foch Is master Of the whole situa-
ton and with the amount Of power
he now has behind him, do not think
he will let up much this winter, as
has been the practice, only So far as
the weather conditions compel. In
past years that has meant an almost
cessation of hostilities, but this year
Foch has got the men, tanks, all and
everything to his advantage, while
the mud. always an ally Of Germany,
will not be such a handicap as in the
past, for the Yanks won't let it. They
overcome the obstacles the others lie
down under. Fact! Here's a story
that illustrates It. can't vouch for
1t, but It IL current here now:
A German colonel was captured
with his entire retinue. It's 50; I
saw him. He spoke English and
when asked why he surrendered, SO
easily, said:
Il sat out at my post Of command
and saw through my field glasses aft
! er the barrage had lifted, a crowd of
men walking, not sneaking. through
our machine gun fire, in rain that
only duck would venture out in and
mud te their knees, smoking cigar
cites and once in a while would stoop
to pick a souvenir from the ground.
And then to see them attack a ma
chine gun position, capture it, yell
like fiends and start. on their way
again-it was different warfare than
am used to and l had to give in"
With that feeling on the part Of
the Boches. and for the fact that the
British quit cold on their JOHN 9TH
err words, mot game; wet grounds
I think that WE will fight the winter
through, If the war doesn't end before
then. Germany Is all done now-but
we have got to put the fresco on to
make it complete Job.
