COMFORTING WORDS FROM

The mothers who have lost their
sons in the war, and others who may,
should read these words from Presi-
dent Lincoln written to stricken
mother during the late war:
81 have been shown the files Of
the War Department statement OF
the adjutant general of Massachu-
sets that you are the mother of five
sons who died gloriously ON the field
of battle. / feel how weak and fruit
less may be any words of mine which
should attempt to beguilc you from
the grief of loss so overwhelming.
But cannot refrain from rendering
to you the consolation that they died
to save. | pray our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish of your
bereavement and leave you only the
cherished memory of the loved and
the lost and the solemn pride that,
must be yours to have laid so costly
q sacrifice upon the altar of free

JOINS RED CROSS.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, one o,
Americas foremost writer's, repsond-
ing to the nations call for $4,000
nurses, has enrolled with the Depart
ment of nursing of the American Red
Cross and soon will take her place
with the valiant army of women, who
are minstering to the sick and the
wounded in France.
Mrs. Rinchart is expecting n sum-
mons TO overseas service momentari-
ly. She has closed her home in New
York, has packed the nursing equip
mcnt provided by the Red Cross and
has put her personal affairs in order
in preparation for a protracted stay
in France.
Mrs. Rinehart, II graduate nurse,
received her training in Pittsburg
hospital, retiring after her marriage
to the chief surgeon of the hospital.
81 am perfectly willing to scrub
floors," she said at the headquarters
of the Nursing Department. 9Th
time has come for American women
to work with their hands. / cannot

"No longer can u woman who is
not self supporting, and who has
neither duties nor dependenast. sit
back with folded hands. She is need
ed in the hospitals, in the factories. If
she does not answer that need she
is not doing her full duty by her
country and humanity"
"The time has come for me to work
with my hands. Since the very be-
! ginning of the war l have been
watching and fighting the battles OF
the enlisted man, letting his mother
and his sister, and his wife and sweet
heart know what he is doing anc
how he is being cared for.
"But the time for the onlooker has
gone by. Nationally we must recog.
nize this. There is no use deluding
ourselves by the occasional small sue
cesses which begin to mark the turf
of the scale. We are still merely
in our period of preparation. There
is long pull ahead, and to win will
require the collective individual eff
fort of every man and child with two
strong hands and brain to use
them.

DESPERATE AUSTRIAN ATTACK
EXPLAINED.
Washington Timcs).

A representative of the French ma
Wy says that two-thirds of the Ger
man submarines already launched are
destroyed and that the destruction
goes on twice as fast as the building.
The world takes n statement from
such source with perfect confidence.
This destruction helps to explain
the desperate Prussian and Austrian
attacks. They are in Il hurry, cannot
wait. Their people are tired of liv-
ing on promises and lies
Remember, that as you read n re-
ported attempt to assassinate the
Austrian Emperor.
Neither Emperor will be n good
risk for life insurance after the peo-
pie in Austria and Prussia know The
truth concerning the war.
The gigantic failure of all the ages
will be the Kaiser's failure to make
good his boast to succeed where AL
exander and Napoleon failed. There
are nearly two billion human beings
nthe earth. No single one is going
to rule the others.

all their lives to narrow circles. The
loss will be heavy before we get

how they are impressed by The new
and strange surroundings in which
they find themselves. Nothing coulo
be more inspiring and enlightening
than that letter from Kone Brugh,
of Botetourt county, written to his

few days ago. He tells of the mag
nificent devotion and accomplishing
sacrifices of the French, of the old
women rolling heavy wheel barrows
and carrying heavy loads along the
roads, which should make the best
of us here at home feel like slackers
by comparison. Then he says this
