is absolutely helpless and must surrender

Austria will shortly follow her and that

WOMEN'S SMILES ARE
WINNING BATTLES
Cheerful Salvation ''Lassies" Keep
Home Sickness Far From
War Zones.

A practical demonstra tIon OF he TACT
that the presence of cheerful and capable
American women in the Ere nch camps II
not onlv valuable, but = real necessity,
constitutes the greatest contribution of
the Salvation Army In war work. accord
ing TO Col William : Barker, who loT the
past l5 months has been dIrector-general
of the Salvation Army with the American
Expeditionarv Force in France Colonel
Barker has returned to the United States
for q brief period, IN which he viii under
take the recruiting OF about ! 900 new
workers, half OF whom will be women At
present there are about 900 Salvationists
abroad, only about 100 OF whom are
Americans. There IS great need for more
workers OF the right kind. Colonel Barker
emphasized the fact that only those who
had the proper moral qualifications would
be accepted.
La explaining the conditions n which
the Salvation Army found itself last year,
Colonel Barker said that one OF the big
gest problems was that of overcoming the
longing for home which attacked almost
every soldier at some time General Per-
shing invited the Salvationists 10 help
meet this situation. To Colonel Barker
came the thought of furnishing the boys
with old-fashioned American applie-pic
made by American women. When they
arrived the plan became feasible, and at
once the homely offering won ITS way into
the hearts of the soldiers When it was
not possible To make the pies doughnIts
were substituted with equal success, The
Salvation lassie' everywhere cheered
the boys with her friendly smile and vii
lingness to help III various ways
Another problem Of last year was that
the soldiers had considerable money at
their disposal and no means Of sending it
home. They spent it on trif1es thus raising
price, everywhere Colonel Barker worked
out the money order system of transferring
funds TO the United States which Is now
in use This system Immediately formed 4
link between the families and the boys
al the front which was highly beneficial
The cantcen workers are exposed to
constant danger from long-range guns, but
they have suffered no casualties. They
try to supply the soldiers with whatever
they want, and have regular system Of
bringing requested articles to the hos
pitals daily Through the Salvation Army
many little services are rendered to the
boys which they cannot perform for
themselves when they arc on active duty,
yet which are Of real Importance to their
happiness. ss.-Chrlstian Science Monitor,

PENFTEIID AND PAGE.

This is the birthday of two eminent American diplomats who have played an important role in war-ridden Europe-Frederic Courtland Penfeld, who represented Uncle Sam at the Austrian court, and Thomas Nelson Page, who is American ambassador to Rome. MT. Penfield was born in Con- necticut 63 years ago today, and MT. Page in Virginia just two years earlier.
 As United States Ambassador at Vienna, MT. Penfield up to the time of our entry into the war also repre- sented Great Britain, France, Russia Japan, Belgium, Serbia and Monte negro. MT. Penfield began his career as a newspaper man, and for many years was on the staff of the Hartford Courant. Thirty years ago he was appointed United States vice consul general at London, and later became | diplomatic agent in Egypt. He has been decorated by the Pope with the Grand Cross of St. Gregory the Great and has also received decoration! | from the French. Egyptian and Turk l iSh governments.
 MT. Penfeld has written severa books, but his fame as an author i. eclipsed by that of Thomas Nelson Page, the eminent Virginian who rep resents the United States at the cour of Victor Emmanuel. MT. Page wa: a. lawyer before he turned to litera ture, publishing his first book, ''I1 Ole Virginia" in 1887. His many sub sequent volumes of fiction, essays anC poetry have won for him a plac, among the foremost literary men il America
