ANOTHER USE FOR THE AIR
PLANE.

Getting the truth to the German
soIdiers and the German people, has
besn one of the big problems in the
political offensive Of the Allies.
II is known that the press censor
ship In Germany is very strict, and
that the people read what the gov
srnment DEGREES they shall read, and
nothing more.
II they are to be informed that the
EAllies do not seek the dismember-
nsnt of Germany. but solely the right
Eof every nation on the globe to de-
aermine its own form Of government,
Aaoma other means must be sought.
Over since the war began, sugges-
Mons have been made that pamphlets
should be dropped behind the Ger
man lines by aviators.
The American government now has
such a service definitely organized.
In the recently published report Of
Rhe Department Of Public Informa-
zion, there is the following very
significant and very important para
gTaphi
An increasingly important part
Of the work in foreign countries
is concerned with the distribution
OF our printed matter by aircraft.
Bombardmsnt planes, loaded with
leaflets and pamphlets that car
~ the truth TO deluded peoples,
go regularly over the firing lines
and far into the lands both on
the eastern and western fronts.
The success Of the campaign de-
ponds, as q matter Of course, up
on the number Of planes that we
are able to employ. and / have
made a request upon the war de-
partment for such number of ma
chimes as will permit us to CO.
operate with the French in the
formation Of an escadrille.
That is but one more step toward
the 100 per cent war that America
must wage. The Bolshevili have
made the mistake Of thinking that
propaganda alone will win the war. It
won't, but IL is a powerful weapon,
nnd the American government is not
overlooking it nor overegtimating its
value. Perhaps it il still somewhat
undsrestimating it.

LET WORK ExTlNGUISH GRIEF
Sorrow Over Parting From Those
Who Go Forth to Fight.

Grief is an attitude of mind. With
some people it is habit.
In sense we owe it, as sort of
deferential token of our love and es-
TEEN, to manifest reasonable amount
of grief for those whom duty has
called to danger and suffering.
Everybody knows, however, that the
intensity and duration of the visible
manifestation of grief are seldom in
direct proportion to the sincerity of
our love and esteem.
1t is hard to be obliged to yield man
or boy we love to become cannon fod-
der for the Hun. 1t is cause for
intense sorrow, but it is no cause or
excuse for insensibility to our own
immediate duty toward that man or
boy.
1t is our battle they are fighting,
and they cannot shoot nor eat our
tears.
They say it is the anguish of wait
ing that makes it SO hard on the wom-
en-. If that is the cause of our grief,
we have an easy solutiOn-just stop
waiting and get busy. There is plenty
| to do.
To have something before you, clear
| ly seen, which you know you must do,
and can do, and will spend your ut
most strength and perhaps life in do
| ing, that is one form at least of very
high happiness, and one that appeals
| the facts prove it-not only to saints
and heroes, but to average men.
And those who can love enough and
are strong enough in heart, will find
opportunity for the same happiness,
that same exhilaration in doing their
part, here at home.
This is the real triumph, the great
victory which must be won over
there, If any permanent good is to
come of this great tragedy.-The Moth.
