TENDING OWN KNITTlNG~ 4
is RED CROSS MOTTO

Under the new allotment system of
production adopted by the American
Red Cross it frequently hapens that
workers in one territory will be assign.
ed the task Of making certain garments
or dressings, the manufacture Of which
has not been aportioned to workers in
an adjoining district.
Sometimes workers, travelling from
one section to another, have caused
some confusion in the workrooms by
comment on this situation. "Why. we
aren't doing work like that down at
Jonesburg," is a typical remark, made
oy the visitor resulting sometime in
the Keeling among some workers that
the work they are doing is of minor
or that some mistake has
been made inn their assignment.
Such is not the case. Allotments for
lted CROSS work are apportioned on
broad scale. Certain results must be
obtained and the work is assigned to
the districts. where it is felt it can hest
be produced. Workers should nav M
attention to outside comment but rest
assured that SO long as they are pro-
duclng the quotas assigned them thew
are working to the best possible adyan-
taSe for the Red Cross,

what is needle more than anything
else is the conservation of our children.
We were thrilled when we heard from
T. s. Settle. field secretary Of the Play-
ground Association, at the Child Fed
Grafton Week in West Chester, tell Of
the greater need for Fairgrounds than
ever, in order that healthy children
might be had to fill the places of their
Olders who would be called to war,
many Of whom might never return.
We were still more thrilled when last
Friday Lady Aberdeen. who had come
from the war country, spoke of this
need SO strongly that her voice trembled
and the slight hesitation in her speech
was entirely forgotten. England had
in her first moments of intense patrio-
tism forgotten her children. The re-
suit in death rate during the first year
Of the war was twelve children per
hour to nine soldiers per hour. Eng
land has now come tO see her mistakes
and larger sums than ever are being
used for Fairgrounds and for child
welfare. 1t was great thing to hear
Lady Aberdeen say frankly in her large
hearted way that England is trying to
initiate America in her child welfare
work." Wahpeton Fairgrounds are
open every afternoon from two to five.

Patterson, Playground instructor.

"OFFFENSIyE.

The word Offensive" does not txclu-
stvely link itself to German aggressive
military movements.
Offensiveness characterizes almost
every Tueton act.
Even in pre-war days. to be offensive
was the prided privilege of u prrssian
army officer.
He made the uniform curse to civ
ilians and a terror to women whose es-
corts were not bedecked in military re-
gala.
The lh'Or Of the brier garden was the
bOche who attled a sword. He brawled.
lnsulted, annoyed women and IL any
particularly pleased his bestial lust,
took them from their male cor,pan-
ions with vile remark or beastly sneer
and no one dared to interfer-unless a
Superior" felt himself outdone by
some enterprising unter.Hun.
Every German of masculine gender
J who attains his majority sees compuls-
ory military service.
He emerges from his course In kais.
erisrh meniless menace to civilized
mankind and womankind.
II he evidences scientic genius or
business acumen, he becomes u tool in
HOhenzollern hands for Teunn az
grandizement and Hun supremacy.
The clutch Of kultur is ever on the
trained brute regardless of how long
he may have been mustered out of
military service.
No power is left to him except that of
persecution. He vents his spleen OH
those helpless to retaliate. TO he Of.
fensive is his sole remaining individual
right. AS it is popular with those in pow
er next above him, it seems to him his
one redeeming quality in the eyes of
his fellows.
Bilhelm kicks the crown price, who
boots Ludendroff, which worthy "umb-
cr-mines' colonel Spitzeneffer, who
lambasts Major Aackenphizzle-and
the caress continues down the line TO-
the private who slams the women.
So German offemsiveness is q per-
fectly natural Teuton trait.
