War Work

John R. Mott, head of the United War Work board, Is convinced that the war work activities of the seven organizations comprising this board must continue to be pressed with full and increasing vigor, and even though Germany is talking peace, this can have no effect upon the board and its works, for they must continue undimin- ished for long period after peace comes Military authorities say, declared Mir. Mott in telegram this past week to Cochise county official of the United War Work, that it will take fifteen months to bring the Canadian army home and eigh teen months for the Australian army. All military authorities with whom have con- suited, insist 1t will require twelve months after peace is declared to bring the Ameri- can army home. This demobilization pc riod will present greater needs for our work, and by far our greatest opportun- ity, therefore there should be no hesitation or change in any of our campaign plans except that of enlarging them and redoub- ling our efforts to secure, if possible, fifty per cent over subscription.
 And, come to think of 1t, Mr. Mott most practical and far sighted view of the de- mands upon and opportunities for this war work during period of demobilization is most strikingly true With the strain of battle and tenseness of active service re- faxed, and corresponding relaxation of dis cipline and high devotion to duty yet un- accomplished, the soldier will need the aid, comfort and abetment of all these war or ganizations that are pledged to serve him, more than ever. And, no matter what they say, actual peace Is yet afar off. So the United War Work campaign, soon to be- gin, is of most vital importance as 1t al- fleets the welfare of our army at home and abroad. This work, the good results of which we have seen and have been attested from camp and field, must be kept up to .he end of the war and to the end of de- mobilization, which is to say, more than year after the war, at any sacrifice on the part of we who serve at home by works and rot at the front by force of arms.

Q gown. Payment will be made in money or yellow corn flour.
 Am willing to exchange a quan- tity of olive oil for some stock ings.
 Naturally nothing is said about the quantity of oil or flour offered. AnOth- CT advertisement says:
 To exchange, a tent. trimmings for clothes. and a waist of black silk for things to eat.
 Another advertisement offers some French novels for four pounds of food of any description. Another announces that @ person would be most happy to exchange stockings of the finest tex ture for sugar and fat.
 One person would be disposed to sacrifice his pet goldfish for a rabbit, and his Japanese flower vases for beans and lard. Another offers a small statue, almost new for some white flour.
 Notices which give an idea of the cost of food says:
 Would like to exchange bed of the finest quality for a kilo of coffee.
 A baptismal veil will be ex changed for kitchen oil
 A workman's blouse will be ex- changed for a pound of fat.

HOW q Yankee
 Truck DriUer
 Busted e Hun

This tale was relayed from the front to Camp Dix, N. J, and thence to the New York Sun. which repeats it thus:
 Alter depositing supplies and ammu- milton at the front, the big army trucks were filled with German prisoners who were to be taken to the rear. A German captain, member of a famous Prussian regiment, was among the de- tail of prisoners assigned to ride in the truck of which this particular driver had charge. The boches had filled the body of a car when the driver noticed that the captain had not joined them
 Climb in therei" he ordered.
 Look at my uniform! Don't you recognize that I'm a captain? You don't expect me to ride with them?' he said in perfect English, indicating his erstwhile soldiers, as if they were so many caged dogs. Then he de- manded a place on the drivers seat, where there were already two slightly wounded American soldiers waiting to get back to dressing stations.
 Nothing doingl I'm particular about my company Get in with your gang, and be quick about it!" said the Yankee.
 Throw off those American swine and make room for me on that front seati" ordered the Prussian. I'm a captain and"
 He got no further. The driver slid grimy fist into his pocket and whip ped out a big penbnife, while the oth- CT hand shot down, gripped the Prus- sian by the collar and a powerful arm jerked him from the ground as .1 he had been a child.
 Captain, eh? Well, we won't let that worry you longl See here!" And as he spoke, the hand with the knife deftly clipped the insignia from the officers shoulders.
 You're busted!' he said. You're a private nowl Get back in the ranks with the rest of themi" And he drop ped the sputtering Prussian into the back of the truck among the other prisoners.

wounds. In his delirium he raved about a land across the sea and a canary bird in the bay window of his mother room that used to sing golden notes from yellow throat These pitying French maids of old Lorraine were in despair as they bent above that pallid face on the pillow and felt the call of that brave heart for song. And, then, through the window came the sound of a child's laughter The soldier boy turned on his pillow and his eyes shone. Bring her to me, he whispered. And they brought the child, a little girl, enchant- ingly fair, and she patted his thin hand and cooed to him and murmured the words, mon pauvre homme" over and over again. The maids from Lorraine wept. The soldier smiled, and died with the laughter of child on his dulling ear and the light of a new dawn in his tired, pain dimmed eyes

FIRE LADDIES
 MOURN ALOST DOG

A husky fireman from Bisbee de- partment No. 1 walked up to the news paper mans desk and inquired for the writer of thfs column You like dogs, l know" he said, "and so l just wanted to tell you about our dog. She got killed the other day. Fellow driv- ing an automobile run over her. He was driving fast, too, and he didn't stop to see haw badly the dog he had struck was hurt. Of course the dog was out in the road and it was her fault, in a way, but us boys will always swear that fellow was driving too fast.
 .sShe was an airedale. that dog of ours. and We had had her in the de- partinent ever since she was puppy. I want to tell you we thought as much of that dog as we did of each other. The boys have been moping around ever since she was killed. She new CT missed a fire. that dog. and she was smarter than lots of folks. We think she ought to have special obituary, don't yOu?"
 The newspaper man surely did Any dog that can put a bunch of fire lad dies in mourning because of her de- parture from this earthly realm IS en- titled to more than passing mention A faithful, intelligent, affectionate dog is one of the finest things in the world. Such a dog makes human na- ture suffer in comparison, in many ways
 The average man is pretty cheap and selfish and ungrateful and impa- tient and disloyal and proud. with and without cause. But this fire depart ment dog with her fuzzy head and big brown eyes had not a single one or these failings. She was only a dog. but she was the queen of the Bisbee fire station and she ruled there for the span of her life without rival or nee. And after she had gone (this IS the acid tesD she was missed and mourned for more than a day.
 The husky fireman was serious and sad and very much in earnest He came to the newspaper mans den as extraordinary from the court of the firemen seeking for a word and a token to mark the passing of a dog that he and his pals were mighty strong for in life and mourned for in death. And the newspaper mans heart warmed towards him. The man who has not loved dog has missed something worth while along the way And the man who has not bent low 10 pat a shaggy, loyal head and has not felt cheap and small before the devo- tion and unwavering love of a dogs deep. dark eyes has also missed just that much of the few and rare associa- tions of this life that are unselfish and always true.

Ran His Last Race

On the day the Tanks went across the Ourcq and up the hill, Pvt. M. A. Treptow of Iowa, one of the dispatch bearers, ran his last race from the company to the battalion. lie nae almost reached his goal when ma chine gun dropped him.
 Later, in the pocket of his blouse, they found his precious diary. On its first page, he had written something that many a man in his company has since copied into his own diary. IL was this:
 America shall win the war;
 Therefore 1 will work,
 l will save,
 l will sacrifice,
 1 will endure,
 I will fight cheerfully and do my
 utmost, as if the whole issue of
 the struggle depended on me
 alone
 Treptow had called this "My Pledge" and thereto he had subscrib- ed his name.

Food Bdrtering
 M City Of Trieste

(From the Italian-American News
 BureauD
 The advertisements which have re- gently appeared in the Trieste newspa- pers prove conclusively the lack Of food in that locality and the extreme ends resorted to by the people who in their hunger are willing to barter ev- erything for enough food just to exist. Even those who. before the war, were considered in comfortable circum- stances, are now reduced to offering their clothing. jcwelry and household furnishings in return for the simplest food.
 Some of the advertisements which appeared in the paper with the largest circulation are as follows:

 Bcdstead uf iron. second hand. but in good condition. 8 pair or black trousers and girls top coat will be exchanged for a mod est quantity of eatables.

10 BUDDY

TO BUDDY It's a tough fight for you, Buddy, And it takes a heap of grit To stick and win
 And keep your grin When you're in the thick of it. It's no cinch for you, Buddy, When the dreams with which you
 came
 Melt into naUght
 AS you are taught The horrid, bitter game. It's hard pull for you, Buddy, And oft times it looks damned blue, But square your chin
 Aad VOW to win, And play the game clean through. For there's a great time coming,
 Buddy. A time worth waiting for When kultur's done
 And all is won, And the boys come home from war. Oh. she'll be waiting, Buddy, And the lovelight in her eye Will shine with joy
 As Her Big Boy Goes proudly marching by. It's a hard road for you, Buddy, But it's more than worth the game To buck all fears
 So mothers tears Will be for joy-not shame. Cpl. Howard J. Green, Inf, in Stars and Stripes.

Their Hero

There is story the French girls in far off Lorraine tell of their hero an American sol dier boy who lay, previously wounde ] in a base hospital back of the lines. He opened his eyes one day and looked at their fair, fresh faces around him and smiled a wan, faint smile, and then he whispered to ask for flowers They brought him an arm ful of blossoms and he smiled again and tried to thank them. The next day he asked if they would open his window so ne could hear lark's song. They threw wide the easement and the golden French sun- shine strearned in, but never birdsong came from field or garden The soldier boy tossed in pain and with frowning brow and set lips he fought the torture of his

BATTLING COLORS

The newspaper man and his family drcve down towards Osborne the other evening to see the sunset. When ev erything goes wrong; when the grim frown of the ugly mountains and the unearthly bray of the sad-faced burro, and the prOwling boldness of the COW with the crumpled horn. and the heavy hand of the influenza epidemic presses hard upon the printers, and tho prices Of paper and postage soar higher, and the alkaI dust and the red sand be- come unbearable, THEN. the news paper man points his trusty flivver for a point where he can view the glory of the sunset. A half hour spent be- fore this inspired canvas of ali-sur- passing beauty and splendor and mys- tery always cures him of most of his real and all of his fancied ills. It IS impossible Co view those gleamins gates ajar for any length Of time with out being lifted above the petty vani- ties and vacations of earth.
 We'll. the newspaper man gazed long at that sunset the other evening, and then he murmured. it is lavendar ana old ldter uiulhihcu ny thc tVAeN' ton of a flame"

 Are you blind?' sarcastically in quired the daughter; 'it Is the color of an American Beauty rose

Has any one heard from Wilhelm lohen- zoIIern lately? Wonder what the All High is doing now. Last direct word from him was when he stood on hill near Soissons to watch his sons army wipe all French resistance away. That hill is now some fif- teen miles within the allied battle line, so Wilhelm must have hastened hence. Plen- ty of Germans are doing lots of talking at this time, but there is no word from Will helm. The foreign dispatches teem with German names, but never the name of Wilhelm H. appears therein. Wonder what Gott's anointed is doing now.

The German
 Viewpoint ChGngeth

At this time the frame of the German mind, as expressed by German newspapers and public men, is remarkable. For in- stance, the Volks Zeitung declares that if we give up Belgium according to President Wilson S terms, then the allies should not advance into this territory, for it Is neces- sary to preserve Belgium's neutrality. Angels and ministers of grace defend us! Germany would now preserve Belgium s neutrality. Words fail Again; the Ger mans have for some time wished to dis continue the, use of poison gas. They are getting the worst of it now. Recently they emitted dreadful howl about the Ameri- can use of shotguns Berlin has also inti- mated that she would cease the lombard ment of allied open towns from the air if the allies would also cease this form of warfare. After killing hundreds of men and women and children in London and Paris and losing the mastery of the air, the German would stop bombing, now that his Rhine cities are suffering every day and night from allied air raids. He also wishes 1t understood that from now on there IS to be no more destruction of towns and cities by the armies of the belligerents Fiav- ing done his worst, and 1t now coming on for his turn, the Hun would cease this in- nocent little pastime The Hun IS preach ing peace now, and all the attendant graces of kindness. gentleness and honor in its train. And he will feel mistreated and badly used if the allies do not immediately accept all his proposals. He has ravished and destroyed many conquered sections ot country; the enemy is marching upon hls frontier; now let all wreck and ruin cease. The squarehead butcher Is now a cringlng, abiect specimen of the bully brought to judgment He, who never knew mercy, seeks mercy now. German sentiment IS in- deed veered square about in the past few weeks A sword thrust and gunshot, more or less, on the western front, have brought this monster to the mourner s bench ot re- pentance. What a miracle of grace. But the stern, sturdy long suffering and out raeed manhood of the allied nations de- mand retribution. Not such an orgy of bloodshed, plunder and destruction in Ger man lands as that visited upon Belgium and France. for the English, French and Ameri- can people simply could not commit such outrages upon defenseless cities and their inhabitants, but, nevertheless, a restitution of kind must be made by the Germans for their infamies They must feel stern and heavy hand, if not butchers hand, upon their lands if they are ever to know anything of what their soldiers visited upon France. Only force can change the Ger man viewpoint and frame of mind. This war has gone too far and cost too much for any cessation short of just and forceful object lesson brought home to the German citizen at home. His repentance comes too late.

Let us talk peace, said the German chancellor to the allied nations. Talk to Foch, " replied France. See Haig about it, was England's answer. Let Pershing de- eide, said the U s. A. And so the Ger man chancellor sent for von Fiindenburg, and the burly German field marshal is now writing peace note from Berlin, and they do say that crocodile tears blur the lines as they flow from the point of his pen.
