London, Sept. 1.-THE Christian
Science welfare house, for the use of
the allied forces, has been opened at
112 Eaton Square, London S. w. /.
Week after week fresh contingents are
being added to the vast American
army already transported across the
Atlantic; consequently thousands Sof
soldiers and sailors now find a tenn
porary home in the little island from
which their forefathers set sail in
quest of liberty three centuries ago.
The welfare house is primarily in
tended for the convenience of those
officers and men of the United States
army and navy who are interested in
Christian Science, but a welcome will
also be extended to any sailor or SOL
der who desires to>come.
The Christian Science welfare
house is situated in a convenient CEN
ter. close to the American embassy and
the busy thorofafe around Victoria
station. Various bus routes pass close
by. and tube and underground rail-
way are easily and quickly reached,
but the creeper-clad house itself stands
in wide, sunny square, where
spreading plane trees cast a cool shade
in the long, hot summer days
The house is designed to help and
befriend in every way the men of the
allied forces.

science or the capacity for honor,
which has revealed itself as the Ger
man power.
"In concrete terms, the force
which the President has pledged
consists of soldiers, sailors, ships,
arms, service, ammunition, and sup
plies-all directed in an unending,
relentless stream against the enemy.
"And only the money and savings
of the Americans at home can Gre
ate the final force that will send the
Kaiser's legions rolling back to the
Rhine, that will make the German
autocracy pay dearly for the
fearful crimes it has committed
against mankind.
"It is the mission Of the War
Savings movement to provide for the
government the very force it needs.
Through investing in War Savings
and Thrift Stamps you r adding
to that great force. 1t is the duty
of everyone to swell that great
force. Not until you have loaned
the government every cent you can
spare, even if you must sacrifice
luxuries, will you have done your
duty.
"Invest in the interest bearing
War Savings Stamps. They repre-
sent patriotism plus profit. Buy them
often. Every time you buy n you

that will bring a peace that is hon.

The reduction of the bread ration
in Germany is arousing grave pro-
tests from the working classes. The
Socialist organ, Vowaerts, Of Berlin,
exhorting the working men to re-
main calm, said, "The measure trou-
bles profoundly millions of Germans
for bread and potatoes are our staff
of life in wartime. Up to now they
have been distributed in meager
supply and it seems too dangerous
to try to reduce the rations. The
danger is greater now in the fourth
year of the war than in the second
or third when it was easier to pro-
cure other foods and the general
health of the people was better.
The moral and physical forces aid
ing US to withstand the privations
in the fourth year are much dimin-
ished."
