WE'RE JUST ON LEAVE.

The fields yellow for the harvest and the
sounds heard are the voices of the workers and
the hum of the machinery cutting shock after
shock of tawny grain. Afar in the woods ber-
ry pickers may be heard and their laughter in
harmony with the song of the birds. Little
children play by the roadside happy in their
hour uncaring and unaware of life's stern trag-
edy. The newborn kline evidence the same joy
of the season and frisk in the fields. All is hap
py-all is bright. Who could think the world
was not continual summer-not happiness of
the purest kind?
So it is in France my friends. There back of
the lines our boys train daily but they have some
time for recreation too. Harvests come and go
in France and as America is beautiful so is
France beautiful. Birds sing and little chill
dren play there just as they do here. Our boys,
being healthy young men of keen interest in
life, enjoy pastoral loneliness just as we enjoy
it.
But in France the Menace is nearer. The sum-
mons come and those boys Ozone of our bone
and flesh of our fesh) spring to galvanized life.
Down the long metalled roads troop trains move
and soldiers go swiftly on the march. Caissons
and sweating horses work ceaselessly. Tanks
roar ponderously but surely toward the goal
where the Menace lies. The officers, the war an
imals and the machines, all become part of a
mighty being co-ordinated for the purpose of
War!
The trumpet has sounded and Uncle Sans
men are on the march So will the trumpet
sound for us soon. We have basked in this most
pleasant of seasons but work is ahead. Soon
will the trumpet sound for us Soon will the
call come for the civilian population to again OPP
en- their purse strings. Workers Chow loyal and
devoted they have been) will again enroll to do
their part. Soon Uncle Sam will call to us for the
Fourth Liberty Loan
To you, those workers, and to you, those in
v~estors, we say be ready. Our boys have ans
wered that call and many of them have left
their blood among the daisies of Picardy and
Champagne. Some (ah, too many are sleep
ing the last quiet sleep. The bugle has called
it's last note to them.
So when it comes to us let us be ready too.
We are not privileged to die but we can give.
This pleasant interim has been the leave between
the battle calls. Let us be ready when the bugle
sounds.

interests. To be against me is to be

all about this. political ~comou1age.
AS a political trick this old chestnut
is overworked in war time. Wait for

good faith requires that you hear your
own agent before you listen to your
enemies against whom he has tried to
protect you. An ounce of faithful
performance is worth more than a

MUCH WORK AHEAD.

The astounding success Of our arms on the
western front has justly given rise to rejoicing
among the American people. This is as it should
be. That our soldiers were we'll trained and
equipped we knew. We hardly guessed the sup
er qualities of their morale.
But let us not too readily assume that Ger
many is beaten or even rocked in her tracks.
True a success is far better than a well carried
cut defensive but we must not take too much for
granted,
We must not, for instance, look for a revolu-
ton inside the empire. In fact part Of the Ger
man propaganda has been to make us hope for
such a pass thus slackening our efforts toward
a military success.
We must not assume that the Germans car. be
beaten by a mere ~puncture of their lines. Mil
itary history proves that a line can be broken
and successfully patched even under great odds.

To defeat Germany will take an enormous
army. Perhaps double the number of men en-
gagged in the west must be there before a serious
attempt comes. When the blow falls it will come
as a mighty onslaught at every point of the 500
mile line. General Foch and his armies will
strike at every point with the force of a thun-
derbolt. The German army will roll back and
reform. Again the charge will come. Again
the rolling and reforming. Finally the opposi-
ton will collapse through united effort against
it at every point instead of lesser blows at the
or the center. AS the Germans have sew
eral hundred miles of foreign soil to retire upon
before they reach home this attack may be of
long duration. But it must be made.

WHEN TOWN PARALYSIS SETS IN

Why are some towns dead or getting
ready to die? There is a reason. It
is not wealth that some of these towns
need; it is not opportunity that they
lack; it is not material advantage
that is found wanting; but there are
towns a-plenty that are beginning to
show signs of senility, and you can
tell it the moment you get off the
train.
What is the trouble? It is very sim
pie. When any town shows symptoms
of going on the bum, with dirty
streets, foul breeding places for flies,
and disease germs, pavements that
looked as if they had the smallpox:
when any town cannot Support 4
chamber of commerce or business
mems organization a chautauqua, "
ceum course, and keep stores, church
es, schools, hospitals, libraries up to
snuff, it is conclusive evidence of the
most dangerous diseases that a~fflicts
communities, namely: The paralysis
OF the cooperation nerve cells which
connect a citizens conscience with his
conduct.
There is a tiny microscopic germ
called "-Se1fshness" which bores its
way through the tough, dry skin of 4
citizen until it reaches his heart. or
the place where the heart is always
found i'll a citizen who is normal. and
this germ has 2 strange control over
its victim. It makes him hang back
and let the other fellow do it when
something important comes up for
the towns welfare.

In assuming that every person rich or poor
should buy a 500 thrift stamp for each member
of his household some men, some solicitors, are
in grave error.
AS we understand the thrift stamp movement
the government does not desire that the total of
two billions be exactly proportional among the
people. The government obviously means that
the well-to-do should take the maximum of
$4,000 if they have the means or as much in
proportion as they can stand. The government
also wants the poor man to take what he can
stand. This war is not a rich mans war nor is
it a poor mans war. 1t is the war of every 10y
al citizen of the country. One of the ways of
help is through sacrifices. 1t holds therefore
that the man or woman in humble circumstance
should subscribe according to their ability and
this is exactly what the government wants and
no more. But to make quotas the wealthy should
take far more than would be the pro rata amount
and if there has been trouble in the way of the
community solicitors it has been through fail
ing to understand this point.

Patriotic men of all parties are not worrying

In other words pettiness has been put aside for
patriotism. Politicians endeavoring to trade up
