Our Full Duty

1t is needless to repeat the trite saying that
America has not begun to give and sacrifice.
We have heard it dinned in our ears with
monotonous regularity for many weeks We
accept the observation as a truth.
If the implied criticism means that the Amer
lean people as a whole are shirkers or slackers
in patriotic enterprises, recent developments
prove the contrary. Wayne county, at least is
awake to the situation. 1t has responded nobly
to every appeal. 1t is willing to do still more.
The fact is that every appeal made in the last
six months has met with more willing and greater
response. Look at our War Savings Stamp rec
ord and our third Liberty Loan subscriptions.
The Red Cross campaign, which begins next
week, will demonstrate again that Wayne county
knows the art of supporting meritorious enter
prises The work Of the Red Cross, it's func-
lions and scope are well understood. The neces-
sity of financially supporting the society is also
a matter of common knowledge.
The response next week will prove that our
knowledge will be translated into Deeds The
allotment will be raised in town and countryside
Then Wayne will take another hitch in it's belt
and prepare for the next drive. The county has
the right spirit

finally Of winning lies in dividing foes sham peace
that left in full Germanys military
would play into its hands.
But the alliance against Prussian militarsm ought
to be given a more permanent and comprehensive
form That part of the world which aspres to freedom
should by formal action accept the fact that fighting
the Prussian until is overhrown however long
that take and safeguarding against the
Of like menace in the future. is its chief business.
Although the Allies have not formally an
nounced their determination to fight the Prus-
sian menace until it is completely crushed, the
repeated rejection of peace overtures made by
Germany is conclusive proof that the Allies have
made up their minds fully not to quit until the
job is completed to their entire satisfaction.
President Wilson's reply to the Pope and his
utterances since, indicate very plainly that the
Allies are not seeking an opportunity for an un-
satisfactory peace, but intend to gain peace by
force of arms.
When the Kaiser announced that he would
obtain peace by force, his challenge was quickly
taken up by the Allies. They gave him an an
swer that he could not misunderstood. His
feverish sacrifice of thousands of Germans tc
win the channel ports and defeat the Allies be-
fore America can throw her full force into the
conflict is conclusive proof that he fears the ulti
mate end of the war.
In the meantime, our war preparations must
speed up to make effective militarily our prom
Use of aid. The last six weeks have been heart
ening ones for us and the Allies. Our war
machinery has been working in good order, and
the results that have been attained have evoked
not only satisfaction from the American citizens,
but also praise from our allies. If this progress
can be maintained we can rest assured that the
Kaiser will spend many a sleepless night before
he attains his object.

ADDITION to it's regular business the transporta'
ton department of the Red Cross has recently taken

"Who gave you that job, anyhow" someone asked
the transportation chief young who never knows

And it is good job to take Briefly it consists in

month. and thus far the Americans have first

spoken high praise of their valor and speed.
Certainly it is not pleasant to streakng through

In the apartment next door
Lives an efficiency expert,
And he is a wonderful guy.
He admits it very readily,
With or without provocation.
When his typewriter breaks down
He comes in and has me fix it.
When his clock needed oiling
He sent it to clockmaker
And paid SO for the job.
The cook quit him suddenly,
And he sat down and had a good cry
He had his income tax report
Made out by the janitor,
Who is also notary public;
And when he eats spaghetti
He cuts it up and eats it
