LADY POLICE OF MILITARY
CAMPS ARE DOING THEIR
BIT TO HELP WIN WAR.
(Bv insssr.siensI News Ssrvies.)
Nv Edn. Huber Church.

By Edn. Huber Church.
Washington, May i7.-Lsdy po-
lice have become an old story. Lady
police for military camps are not so
widely known, however. But there
are lady police for the military camps
and their work Is TO look after the
young girls who live near the camps,
Miss Maude Z. Miner Is the chief OF
these lady police. Upon her shoulder
as head Of the committee on uprotec-
tion work for young girls Of the
Woman's Council of National Defense
falls the work Of shielding the young
girls Of the country from too much
lure Of uniforms and brass buttons
OF course, IL Is n very diplomatic
sort Of work that Miss Miner has
20 do. II isn't at all her duty 10 at
tempt 10 make the life Of the soldier
colorless and without the company
OF the opposite sex. Miss Miner has
not as part Of her work any attempt
TO cast a pail over the enthusiasm
and exuberance Of military men and
the admiration they arouse In the fe-
minnie hearts. Rather II Is her work
to just keep a watch to see that girls
do not lose their heads in the whiri
OF military lustre and that war does
not affect the standard Of morals u
American womanhood.
There are some eighty camps in
the United States containing about
a million and a half Of soldier boys.
In about seventy-fve Of these camps
there are lady police. Perhaps that
isn't very pretty name to call them,
for they are more in the nature Of
chaperons. They wear no uniforms
and they carry no sticks. They mere
iy mingle in the places Of amuse-
ment and see that propriety rules
and that intimacies do not become
dangerous. Their work Is rather a
task Of observation. They have in
some camps hostess houses where the
men and the girls may meet In 9TH
er camps they use their influence 70
open private homes for the entertain
ment Of soldiers.
"The lure Of the uniform is more
than a phrase" Miss Miner said; "it
Is an aetuality. More than a million
and n half men are concentrated in
about eighty camps in this country.
Girls often lose their heads In
whirl Of emotion brought about by
these unusual conditions. and therein
lies the problem.
"The most important work Of the
committee is to awaken communities
to the necessity Of protecting girls
and to secure facilities for accom-
plishing this.
"Seventy-fve protective officers
have already been appointed 50 far in
camp vieinities. They are usually
given the status Of n deputy sheriff
and work in close cooperation with
the local authorities. Though some
times they are given police power,
they use IL infrequently. for their
function is to protect, not TO punish.
BY scouting and patrolling constantly
they pick up a great many girls who
have left their homes.
"The work Is divided into two
tasks. One is concerned with the pro-
lection Of young girls, who often
through ignorance are eourting dan
ger. The other Is reformative work"
Miss Miner has been for several
years connected with waverly House
in New York. She knows girls. She
is human. She has a task that Is no
small part in this greatest task Of
winning the war.

HONOR SPEECH.


made by Allen Cant. Of Pensacola.
Fla. Of the 18th grade. spoken
with veteran speakers in the Third
Liberty Bond campaign at Pensa-
cola, when the city event over the
top" subscribing more than a mil
lion dollars.)
Honorable Judges, Teachers and
Schoolmates;
am going to tell you what a Lib
erty Bond is. Liberty Bonds are
bullets TO kill Germans with, and the
dollars that buy them are fighting
dollars, they are dollars for guns,
dollars for powder. dollars for air
planes. dollars for ships, dollars for
clothing. dollars for food. dollars for
victory. dollars. dollars to shorten
the war and save the lives Of our
soldiers.
For over two hundred years,
Americans have fought and died for
the blessings Of liberty, justice and
self-government. Today this preei-
Gus liberty Is hanging in the balance.
What are we going to do about IL?
When Mr.. McAdoo was here he
told US II was everybody's war, apd
50 IT is. We must not only do our
"bit" but do our best. We boys and
girls must do with less good things
to eat and fewer playthings We
must save our nickels and dimes and
buy Liberty Bonds or Thrift Stamps
and we can do more, we can take
care Of the yard. work the garden,
cut up wood and bring in coal. and
many things Of this kind around
home and thus release men for inn
portant war work.
The girls. too. can do many things
around home and by so doing their
mothers can give more time to Red
Cross work.
I shall not attempt to tell the old
er folks what they should do, they
know better than l. But appeal 10
you In our behalf. us boys and girls.
I appeal 10 you especially in behalf
Of the girls, they can't fight.
ask you the question, are they
worth fighting for? Shall they grow
up in the kind Of American homes
we know. healthy and happy! Shall
they have the advantages Of living
and learning in a free land upder free
schools. or shall they. and we boys,
be turned over to the brutal. power
mad enemy that has forced us into
war. and would not hesitate to cut
our hands of and pick our eyes out,
as they did the children in Belgium?
These questions cannot be answered
by hot-air talk. but by action alone.
Let your answer be ALL the Lib
erty Bonds you can buy.
Our soldiers are leaving daily.
singing 1--WE won't be back till it's
over Over There" They mean they
won't come back until liberty is AS
sured for the world. Are we with
themI
II we don't buy Liberty Bonds, the
cry for ammunition, and still more
ammunition, will 20 up from the
trenches. This call must be answered
before II is made.
Our money is needed, needed bad
ly, we must back them up with our
last dollar, so that they may return
to US victorious. and the best way TO
back them up is to buy Liberty
Bonds.
And please remember when you
buy a Liberty Bond you are not Civ
ing. you are ouly lending II to Uncle
Samuel, and he has never busted yet.
A Liberty Bond is a fighting loan
and everybody who can. and won't,
buy a Liberty Bond Is either a slack
er or a traitor. and when real Amer
leans meet one Of that kind, they
ought TO shoot him. And II at any
time you need a small boy to help on
a job Of that kind. call on me.
Buy your Liberty Bond today.

YOUR SICK CHILD IS C0NSI|PAYED!
 LOOK AT IONGUE
If Cross, Feverish or Bilious Give California Syrup
 of Figs"

No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should d. ways be the first treatment given.
 If your little one is out of sorts, helf- sick, isn't resting, eating and acting naturally-look, Mother! see if tongue is coated. This is sure sign that it's little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When cross, irri- table, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or has stomach ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give teas poonful of California Syrup of Figs, and in few hours all the constipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of it's little bowels without gripping, and you have a well playful child again.
 Mothers can rest easy after giving this harmless 'fruit laxative, because it never fails to cleanse the little ones liver and bowels and sweeten the stom- ach and they dearly love it's pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, chill dren of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle.
 Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a bottle of Gal ifornia Syrup of Figs" then see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company. Adv.

Petrograd, Dec. 31.-{Correspon- dent of The Associated Press)-Rus- sian soldiers who have been in the trenches for more than three years gre no less amazed than civilians at the rapid turn of events in Russia and stand in hopeless confusion, un- able to distinguish friends from enc mics and powerless to bring order out of chaos.
 The attitude of the average soldier is shown by the following letter writ ten last month from the front to an English Red Cross sister who nursed him back to life after he had been severely wounded and gassed and en- abled him to return to ;he trench es.
 "In the trenches everything is quiet. I go out scouting every day looking for Germans. who have re- treated from our trenches for about 15 miles. Here with us the light has gone out of everything. We are hung ny, dressed in rags and oare-footed, the food is very bad, the only meat we get is horse-flesh and that is not flesh We have got horse of our own, but have nothing to feed it with so are thinking of eating it ourselves. There is no help for US anywhere. It is our fate to be thrown aside and forgotten by the world and to die of cold and hunger.

 Newspapers report that Chairman Simms sent you a great number of letters that have come to him rom shippers organizations complaining ot the poor service given by railroads and that the invariable answer of the management to complaints is What else can you expect under government control?' At a meeting of executives of St. Louis lines, held this morning, we protest against this as another gross libel on a class of men who are working assidously day and night to achieve best results for the country. Hope you will sitt matter to the pot tom and insist that shippers organlza- lions reveal the names of the men who have so expressed themselves.

Russian Soldiers BeWildered
 by Rapid Changes i'm Country

I wonder whether you will read my letter, for l am a soldier and now ev- cry soldier is considered traitor and is blamed for all that has happened. But, dear little sister, just think, wherein is the soldier to blame. He is the same soldier he was in 1914. In most cases he has been wounded several times, has been poisoned by gas, has suffered and is still suffer- ing all the horrors of war and yet, he is to blame for everything. And why? Because our whole govern ment are traitors.
 Formerly, the Russian scldier was feared by the whole world. but now that he has been betrayed, TO one ev- en remembers him. Formerly, every commander tried to cause as many losses to the enemy as possible and to save his own men hut now, they try to lose as many of their own men as possible without harmin@ the enc my.
 Take Riga, for example. Every soldier was willing to give his life for it and many tears have been shed by us over it. But it was surrender edWithout fight and again the sol dier was blamed. It was not known that the order for the retreat had been given and was enforced by the threat of capital punishment in the case of disobedience. The artillery had been removed from the district

where the Germans broke through the line and the regiments which had been stationed there consisted of old men and boys, who had no expert ence.
 Formerly this district had been guarded by the very best regiments and great quantity of artillery had been placed there, but just before the German attack the artillery had been removed and only one regiment leA on vguard, which was simply swept away. Two regiment were sent to reinforce it, but were headed off in another direction. so that the district was left unguarded and the Germans walked quietly into Riga, The soldiers who were caught in Riga were cut off and had to make way through the enemy troops with their bayonets in order to escape from dishonorable capture
 "As to the rumors that the sol diers run away from the trenches and loot nowadays all the scoundrels put on soldiers uniforms and disgrace them. And as to the soldiers not wanting to fight any more, remember we have been in the trenches for more than three years, and the knowledge that we are being betray- ed on every hand and the fact that we have lost faith in the war finish ing with the victory to us makes it impossible for us to fight any long er."
