THRIFT STAMP ARMY

Out of the poor mans strain and
stress,
Out of the rich mans fruitfulness,
Millions and millions of little me
Assert the might of democracy.
We come in squads, pIatoons and
files;
Our ranks stretch out for many
miles;
Proclaimed by neither fife nor drum,
But sure as Loyalty we come!
We come. We come!
Our silent army plods ahead,
Our bugles never blow retreat:
Our ranks defy the whizzing lead,
We fear mot frost, we fear not
heat,
But grim as Death and like him
dumb
We march ahead. We GOMEZ We
comet
The rich mans feast. the poor mans
crumb
Alike give life to us. We comet
We come! We come!

"THUNDERS OF SILENCE"

" HE Saturday Evening Post a
week or two ago published a
- story by Irwin Cobb, entitled
The Thunders of Silence" in which
thinly veiled picture was presented
of a notoriously disloyal United
to him after the newspapers of the
United States had refused to publish
his name. The final paragraph left
him a nerve-wrecked suicide in the
waters of Lake Michigan. He had
lived by publicity; when it was de-
MED him he died.
1t is so with many of his kind.
Newspaper and magazine advertis-
ing, whether published in praise or
censure, is the very breath of life
to them. They cannot ply their ne
farious trade without it. The traitor
to his country loves to masquerade
in the garb of the martyr. It gives
him the ear of shallow thinkers and
the sympathy of those whose mental
eyesight is too dim to see the horns
and the hoofs beneath the cloak of
injured virtue.
The Telegraph, with other right
thinking newspapers, believes that
there is no room outside of a deten-
ton camp for men of this stripe in
these critical times. 1t is helping to
fight a powerful, unscrupulous foe
from without; it has no time to
waste with parasites within. 1t has
closed its columns, first page to last
page, to publicity for men of this
type.

favor the adoption of prohibition
nationally, remaining away from the
polls in May.
Be sure that the wet" cam
paigner will see that the wet"
vote. so far as he knows 1t, is fully
enrolled. He will take no chances
on his side and it is necessary that
the prohibition forces be equally
vigilant.
If you want to help nominate a
dry" candidate for the Legislature
in your district be sure to see that
you are properly enrolled with this
or that party and then go out and
vote at the primaries. 1t is very
likely that the prohibition issue may
be decided for the next session of
the Legislature at the nominating
elections in May.

GET OUT THE VOTE

CEVDRAL weeks ago the Penn
y sylvania Anti-Saloon League
launched campaign of agita-
tion for a more complete enroll
ment of voters for the May pri-
maries, pointing out that the man
who fails to name his party ref
erence in the spring enrolment will
have no voice in the primaries.
Every organization working for
prohibition or other forms of good
government throughout the State
should be interested in this good
work. If the dry" amendment is
in danger it is not from those who
drink or who have pronounced
wet" inclinations, but because OF
men who do not drink and who

SCIENCE CUTS DEATH RATE
Now Only One Soldier Dies From Disease to
Twenty in Battle-Lowest Record in History

there were about twice as many
deaths from disease as there were
killed in action or died from wounds
received in action. The following
are the official figures:
Killed IN action, .......... 67,05S
Died from wounds received
IN action, .............. 4S,Ol2
Total, ..............1 11O,070
Died from disease, ....... 4,5S6
In the Madagascar war
there were fifteen deaths from dis
ease to one in battle. The Japa-
nese in the Japanese-Russian war
first taught the world how a pre-
pared country by the aid of modern
science and medicine could reduce
mortality from disease. They did
it so successfully that the disease
mortality of the Japanese Army was
reduced from fifteen from disease
to one in battle to two and half
from disease to one in battle.
'In the present war among the
British and French troops there
have been twenty deaths in battle
to one from disease. DR.. Woods
Hutchinson has said the doctors
control over wound infections in the
present war is so mastery that of
the wounded who survive six hours,
80 per cent. recover; of those who
reach the field or base hospitals, 95
per cent. get well. Anaesthetics and
antiseptics have not only enormous
ly diminished pain and agony, but
made amputations rarer and grave
cripplings fewer than ever before in
war history. Barely per cent. of
the wounded are crippled or disabl-
ed. We have, therefore, reversed
the mortality from disease. chang
ing it from fifteen from disease to
one in battle, to one from disease
to twenty in battle"
