THE PART THAT CIVILIANS PLAY
IN THE WAR.


Separated by 5000 miles of ocean
and protected by our Navy, our civil
ian population can during this war
continue to live in the same security
as in peace tinle8. The Hun invaders
are not in our midst We are spared
the agony thai came 10 the women
and children and old men of Belgium
and France and Serbia and the other
oyerrun countries While thus secure
from harm we must not forget that
the civilian populations of these DESC
lated countries are as much our allies
as are their fighting men, Let us
realize more deeply their tragedies.
Read this testimony of Brand Whit
lock. who as our minister to Belgium
knows what it means for a land to
be occupied by German troops:
s.Tamines is a little mining town
ON the Sambre. The little churcn
stands on the village green overlook
ing the river, its facade all splotched
where the bullets and grapeshot spat-
tered against it. And in the little

rows Of them, each with its small
wooden cross and its bit of flowers.
The crosses stand in serried rows, SO
closely that they make a veritable
thicket, with scarcely room to walk
between them They were all new, of
painted wood, alike except for the
names and the ages-thirteen TO eigf-
ty-four. But they all bore the same
sinister date-August %. 1914.

burn the houses, 676 of them: then
they turned all the inhabitants into
the street, promiscuously marching
them about II went on for long
hours; they were given no food or
drink During halt they forced them
to lie beneath the machine guns, then
they lined them up against the church
wall and performed a mock execution.
About 500 men were ma5sed in St.
Martins Square, on the river bank,
and their wives, mothers, daughters
were assembled by the soldiers to wit
ness the scene.
'sThey lined up their victims in
three rows along the Sambre and
tumbled $50 of them head over heels
into the river, showing back with their
bayonets those who attempted to
cling to the bank Only four or five
escaped by swimming. During this
first execution the machine guns were
trained on the remaining lines. When
che firing had ceased that night, there
were more than 40 dead; their bodies
lying there. women. too, and children.
And the graves are there near by, in
the cemetery. and the ages given are
from Is to ga"
The part that These civilians played
in the war was to bring to the civil
lied world the realization of what it
would mean for German arms to con-
.Quer. In playing their part they gave

DON'T EXPECT THE CHILDREN
TO DO IT ALL.

Owing no doubt to the good work
of those hustling, keen young boys
and girls who have so generously
given of their time and their pennies
to the thrift campaign, the impress
sion has been created in the minds of
many that War Savings Stamps are
for children only.
Let us stop to consider the matter
for a moment.
The Congress authorized an issue
of $4,000 100000 w. S. S. to be sold
in 1918. The purpose of the Stamps
was twofold: % To get money for
the Government for war needs; ~
to instill the habit of thrift in the
American people and by the practice
of thrift save labor and materials for
the Government.
Can we expect the children, splen-
did workers that they are, to account
for $2,000,00O,000 of stamps?
Do we consider that the children
alone of all our population need to be
inculcated with the thrift idea? Are
they the only spendthrifts?
Certainty not.
War Savings Stamps are for every
one. No one, be he millionaire or
be he the humblest laborer, can say
truthfully that he is not inrested in
w. S. S. and the saving program that
they stand for.

TRIBUTE Is PAID
HENRY F. AUTEN

The Lions Club adopted the follow
ing resolutions of respect drafted by
Eetor R. Johnson and Grover T. Ow-
ems:
Death has invaded the ranks of our
/ club. AT st. Joseph's Hospital, Hot
Springs, Ark, on the 23d day of May,
1918, surrounded by his family. Hon.
H. F. Auten departed this life.
HE had been a resident of Pulaski
county for number of years, and
had been one of our greatest boosters
in the development of our resources
and commercial interests. He was
ever ready to extend helping hand
to the poor and unfortunate, and was
unusually kind to those who deserved
assistance His splendid work as a
citizen and lawyer will ever be re-
membered by the citizens of this
county.
For several years he had been an
enthusiastic member of the Lions Club
and attended every meeting possible.
The splendid messages that he always
brought to the meetings were welcom-
ed by the club.
AS a man and citizen he was
honest, upright, and of an indomitable
will and tireless energy. He was abb
solutely unselfish, infiexible, faithful
to his friends, and of an earnest and
careful nature. But pre-eminent
amongst his other traits was his 10y
atty to duty and his faithful devotion
to his wife and family.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That in
the death of Hon. H. F. Auten his fam
lily has lost devoted, loving husband
and father; that this club has lost
devoted member of high rank, and the
community an active and useful citi-
zen.
BE it further Resolved, That copy
of these resolutions be presented to
the family of the late Hon. H. F. Au-
ten, one each to the Little Rock daily
papers, and one be spread upon the
minutes of this club, and that the
secretary of the Lions Club be request
ed to set aside memorial page in its
permanent records in commemoration
of the usefulness and character OF the
deceased.

ANGLERS WANT FISH
PUT IN PARK STREAMS

4 movement is on foot to amaigamate
all the small fishing clubs around this
city into one large organization. On
April IS a special meeting will be held
at the Philadelphia County Fish, Game
and Forestry Association, Germantown
avenue and Diamond street, for this pur-
pose II Is virtually assured that such
a project will go through.
NJ. Butler, member of the Pennsyl-
vania Fish Commission, will address
the anglers on their favorite topic. Local
anglers want TO have the Wissahickon
and Pennypack streams stocked with
trout. These creeks should afford splen-
did fishing. According 10 reports a pc
tition is 60 be sent to Harrisburg asking
the fish commissioners to plant sew.
eral varieties of trout In these creeks.
The Wissahickon at some places affords
trout fishing. but the general sentiment
is that very few can be hooked owing
to the small number
Thomas S. Martin, of the Paramount
Park Commission, says there are both
bass and trout in the Wissahickon. Ac-
cording to his version the reason for
few FISH being in the Park creek is be-
cause of the onrushing floods at certain
periods of the year. which makes Il
highly impossible for the fish to fight
the strong currents and they are swept
into the Schuylkill. This applies TO small
fish. The larger species can fight the
currents
The last time the Wissahickon was
planted with fish was in 1914.
