IMMENSE WORK
AHEAD FOR WOMEN

Mr.. Henry P. Dawson, chairman of
the War Council of the Red Cross, has
said that if the government should
offer him a check for $500,000, 100000
or check for only 100000, 100000
and the work of the women of the
country. he would not even look at
the larger check! He knew what he
was saying, too, as the magnificent re-
sponse of the women of America has
shown. Never before did woman
shine as now; never before did she
SO show that but for her aid the worst
would have occurred. And the end Is
not yet.
The calls are endless. Refugees
have no underclothes, no stockings,
little to protect themselves against
the coming winter winds. The women
of America are going to furnish these
clothes, these stockings, are going to
see to it that no French, no Belgian,
no Italian child, or mother, shivers
into bitter grave before next spring.
The Surgeon General of the Unit
ed States is asking for thousands of
sweaters, for hundreds of thousands
of socks, and for hundreds Of thous
ands Of articles of all kinds! Eng
lish calls ring over the water-and the
American women remember what the
English feet did for us-they do not
forget! French women, whose souls
are bowed with grief, are listening for
those sweetest of all sounds, the click
of needles that mean warmth, and the
shipping of scissors that mean
clothes for the children.
No babies in the history of the
world have been better guarded than
the American. Now all the skill, all
the tenderness, all the love of Amer
ican mothers finds limitless oppor-
tunities to help babies who but for
them would have nothing at all!
New England alone has three mil.
lion dollars worth of material wait
ing to be made up and sent! Now is
the time for hearty pull together, to
show the world that we really under
stand!

Island Pond Victory Boys and Girls

The Victory Boys and Girls ofe
Island Pond found many ways to
earn their pledges on the United
War Savings Campaign. The above
pictures them carting brick away
from the Y. M. G. A., recently des-
troyed by fire. There were many
other jobs done to help earn their
pledges. Some of the boys shoveled
coal and others worked at odd jobs,
but all were eager to earn their
pledges. Island Pond Victory Boys
and Girls were second in United
War Work pledges in the state. The
spirit of the young people to "get in
to the game" and Ego over the top"
was commendable.

frightfully wounded and some are
dying by inches in the dreadful

to divert our attention from the

farmers that is needed at home,
to arouse discomfort among our

that the ambitions of consci-

SIM FEINERS ARE BUSY.

From the driblets Of news that
filter through Ireland, we gather
that conditions are causing some
worry TO the British government.
We read occasionally of the
establishment of martial law in
various districts, while the Eng
lish magazinists are quite united
in the view that the Sim Fciners
are becoming more revolutionary
in their practices. They have
appointed their own food con-
trollers and have refused to
recognize orders from the Brit
ish government for export of GER
tain foods. Recently they stopped
a drove of pigs on the way to a
steamer, bound for England, COM
Wandered them, and droye them
into neighboring lot where
butchers were waiting. The pigs
were killed and sold to Dublin
bacon dealers at the regulation
price, while the owners We're paid
the maximum. The Sim Fcincrs
argued that nobody suffered
while the bacon remained in Ire
land. The police did not interfere
when the owners did not COM
plain. The only complaint was
with the partisans of the Eng
fish government, who insisted
that the Sim Feiners were al
lowed too much freedom to do
what they liked. In other words,
when they cannot have liberty,
they take it. Ireland has been a
sore spot for centuries, but if
Great Britain can worry alOnS
through the war and keep Ire
land, we believe that an adjust
ment can be made without
the interference of the bcncyO-
lent Huns, who promised freedom
for Ireland if she would get into
the game.

THE FORUM.

Our young radical friends who
direct the affairs of the Forum
will do well to keep in mind the
purpose OF the movement. They
have seemingly forgotten that
anything like propaganda was to
be avoided. The value OF the
Forum is of course, destroyed,
when it becomes mere mutual
admiration society. The Non
Partisan league is a political
party and nothing else and is no
more entitled to place in the
Forums program than the Re
publican or Democratic party
or any secular religious organ
|ization. The prestige of the
Forum is not helped by inviting
la Non-partisan league agitator
who, as it turned out, was not
permitted to speak in two other
Montana towns. The people OF
Montana are in no mood to listen
to that sort Of stuff in these war
times.
We are referring now to the
Forum as it was planned. There
can be no rational objection to q
forum where only a few radicals
gather to hear one another talk
That sort of forum. however, will
not get very far as an influence
in the community.

When the U. S. Flag
Became "Old Glory

odd Glory" to the Stars and Stripes.

to set sail from Salem on the brig
Charles Doggctt. bound for the South
Sea Islands. he was presented by
friends with handsome flag. Then
the colors were hoistcd to the hal
yards. Captain Driver exclaimed:
There is Old Glory"
Those who heard the remark re-
pcated it. the newspapers took it DIP
and the name spread over the land.
After many wild adventures. including
clash with the Cannibal islanders of
the South Seas. Captain Driver re-
turned to America and decided to set
tie down.
He chose Nashville as his place of
residence and when the Civil war
broke out he was one of a very few
adhercnts of the Union cause in The
Tennessee capital The flag which
he had called odd Glory" he had care
fully preserved, and when he displayed
il from the window of his house it
was fired upon and riddled with bnl-
let's. The retired skipper decided
| that old Glory was not popular In
Nashville at that time and putit away
until the Fedorals had taken Nashville,
Captain Driver presented odd Glory
| to General Nelson, who raised 1t over
! the state capitol. After the war the
| flag was presented to the Essex Insti-
| tute in Boston. where ii ii is now care
| fully preserved.
