THE AMERICAN SPIRIT
(By Gideon Hoe Of The vigflantes

(By Gideon Hoe Of The vlgilantesl
Chester W. Wright, Of the Amer
can Alliance for Labor and Democya-
cy, has written fine ringing article
on War vs.. This War" which Ia a
vigorous attack on pacifsm and an
excellent sample Of the American
spirit at the present time A pacf,st
paper In New York In one OF its edi-
torials attempted to make capital out
Of the fact that number OF towns
In the West, particularly I'm wIscon.
sin, went forth and held premature
iubilations on the false news that
peace had been secured
The people Of these cities were
elatsf and retoiced at the report of
victory, az the whole country VIII be
when victory really does come. But
this pacifst paper proceeded to find
perfectly false meaning in the In
cident- "The people really want
peace. What keeps them from show
ing their longing for peace 10 the
press. II Ia only In the newspapers
that war is wanted. IL the people
could express themselves they would
get busy at once to end the war"
In opposition to this deliberately
false and misleading pacifsm-faise
and misleading as pacifsm always is
MFR. Wright truly remarks:
"The people who fubflated out In
the middle west thought America
had won peace with victory over au.
tocracy. They thought democracy
had triumphed. They thought Hun.
dom had gone to smash and smither
Gems They thought the kaiser was
done for The bulletins gave them
that understanding.

America will do some day when q

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Next to the imperative duty of Am

real burden of financing the war. I'm

Holding onto ones bonds means
that one has not only lent so much

that he is not spending that money

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, June THAT
the fire menace is definitely hindering
American war efficiency, that the United
States must be awakened to that fact
and that the editors can do it, was as
serted by Wilbur L. Mallalieu, of New
York, general manager of the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters, in an ad-
dress to the National Editorial Associa-
Jlon, which closes its thirty-third annual
convention to-day. He said final figures
for 1917 fire losses in the United States,
not yet completed, will not fall below
$25O,O0 900, and that the wealth thus
totally and inexcusably destroyed would
have been sufficient to have paid the in
terest on almost S6,000,0 100000 worth Of
Liberty bonds. Fifteen hundred fires

at is right for you to realize and feel

yard you are doing service for the
United States of America. Despite the
terrible conditions, some good has come

Children's Year will begin in New

On that day house-to- house canvass
VIII be started under the direction of
Dr. Josephine S. Baker, chairman of
the Health Committee of the Mayors
Committee, for the enrolment of every
city child under five wears. At a
meeting yesterday, at which more
then one hundred womens organiza-
tions were represented, DIR. Baker cx-
planned the method by which her COM
mlttee would first reach the mothers
of the city.
Workers will ask each mother to
have her child examined, weighed and
measured. In case there is no family
physician, or the child is not enrolled
in day nursery or at a milk station,
each mother will be directed to an
examination centre, where trained
workers will take charge of the chill
dren.
Score cards also will be issued in
the houseto toulouse canvass, to be
filled out and returned to the COM
mittee. There will be sent to the Fed
eral Child Bureau in Washington.
Rich and poor alike are asked to fill
out these cards.
Mondays canvass will be one of the
first steps in the campaign started by
the Federal Child Bureau and indorsed
by President Wilson to reduce infant
mortality during the war.

Day Offers $1,000
To Prove OdeIl WRONG
Market Commissioner Ridi-
cules Ice Figures Quoted
bv Controller

Jonathan c. Day, Commissioner of
Public Markets., issued a statement last
night ridiculing the figures quoted by
Benjamin B. Odell, Ice Controller, and
offering to give $1,000 to the Red Cross
If the Day figures are wrong.
~ have studied all figures available" !"
said Mr.. Day, taking a long breath,
land all statements available by people
who have frst-hand knowledge, and
desire to say regarding the wholesale
price of ice that the actual market
price on the average per ton was So;
that there was an attempt to fix the
price at 50 in Manhattan and Brooklyn
in the early part of the season, but
that it failed; that a ton of natural ice
remained SO through the season, and
many dealers got it at a reduction of
10 per cent below this; that the arti-
fetal ice was SO through the season
after the early furry, and in some
cases so cents cake was paid, which
would mean $3.50 ton.
In order to prove to the Controller
my willingness to stand by this, offer
him now deposit of $1,000 as a for
felt if / am wrong, this $1,000 to go to
the Rcd Cross. l will require no for
felt from him. The only requirement l
will make is that a public accountant,
duly sworn and responsible, take the
matter in hand, and that there work
with him a representative OF the Con-
troler and an accountant representing
the Department of Public Markets."
