sAMM1Es. BUDDIEs OR YANKs.

There is considerable discussion
going on in the newspapers as to the
most appropriate nickname to be
given the American soldiers who are
fighting the battle of democracy
against brutalized autocracy IN
Europe. The disputants are manly
divided in choice between 'Buddles
and "Sammies," while now and then
the boys in khaki are referred to IN
the war news dispatches as anks:
There has been great deal sad
pro and con each of the sobriquets,
and doubtless great deal more re-
mains to be said. "Sammies" is APP
propriate from at least two points OF
view. Our soldiers are Uncle Sam
BOYS, and they were hailed by the
gallant French Poilus as LES amis,
which term was easily transiatable
into "Sammies."
''Buddies," though objected to by
some critics as effeminate, bellttling
and lacking in dignity, is favored by
others as a typically American nick
name commonly applied in affection
and endearment to the big brothers
of the family circles and hence par

Editor Chief:
At the third quarterly conference
Of the Gonzales charge Of. the Metho-
list Church, South, embracing all the
Methodist churches in Ascension east
of the river, the following fesoiu-
tions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, it has been customary
for our churches, as others, TO give
socials, bazaars, and other gather
ings at which various foods are SOLD,
especially those containing relative
w large amount of sugar, such as ice
cream, cake, and soft drinks; and
Whereas, this food is usually IN eX-
cess Of tbs amount ordinarily con-
sumed; and
Whereas, many are led to believe
this is a charitable if not religious
duty to patronize these. soclais; ana
Whereas, we feel this to be a vlo-
lation of the spirit of the food ao-
ministration' request to conserve
foodstuffs; and
Whereas, we would avoid giving
the impression that we are not IN
harmony with the food administra-
ton. or encouraging the impression
that it is a commendable thing to
thus nullify the food administrator
efforts; therefore :. -,
Re it resolved, that for the period
of the war we recommend that our
people refrain from giving any So
cial,' bazaar, or other entertainments
at which such foodstuffs are sold.
