What does "a. r. c." mean?

What does "A. R. c." mean?
1t spells Arc, and suggests the
greatest heroine in French history.
And, strange to say, these letters
are part of the title of present-day
heroines in France.
Every woman with "A. R. c." after
her name has heard the voices
just as surely as did Joan of Arc.
And, like her, these women are to
help free France.
Uncle Sam is looking for $4,000
women who will tack "A. r. c." to
their names, put on uniforms and
60 to help drive the enemy from
France.
"A. R. c." means American Red
Cross.

PRISONERS RETURN FROM
THE GERMAN CAMPS

With the return of the soldiers
who have been confined in German
camps, comes the most narrowing
tales of cruelty. They were starved,
beaten and mistreated in a manner
that makes the blood of every pat
riotic man boil. We care not what
others may think, as far as we are
concerned we shall never be satisfied
with any peace terms that do not in
clude the death of the Kaiser, his gen.
erals and every subordinate officer
who in any way contributed to the
inhuman treatment of the soldiers of
the Allies. If this can be imposed as
duty to be performed by the peo-
pie of Germany it will be well, but
a signature should be appended to
any sort of peace treaty until these
wrongs are fully avenged and their
perpetrators have paid with their
lives for their cruelty.

show up this good man" who so
proudly boasts of his Honesty and
integrity" that we feel that it is a
duty we owe the public.
We shall handle his effort by
"spasms."
His first spasm reads like this !:
while posing as Democratic paper
it refuses to support the men from
whom it receives political patron
age" OF course this is a crime in
Zimmerman's eyes. Here he practi-
cally admits that with his paper he
Supports the men from whom he re-
ceives political patronage" and con-
siders it a crime that we do not.
Our reply is that if he wishes to sell
his political support for patronage he
is at liberty to do so. We never have,
and never expect to, and furthermore
we consider no one under any obi
cation to patronize us. If they do so
of their own free will, well and good
but we are not for sale.
His second spasm is very clear
exposition of his guiding principle
get business" The old saying, "set
rogue to catch one" might well APP
ply, for certainly no one whose mind
was actuated by anything but the
most base impulses would even think
of the things Zimmerman charged to
us. This is undoubtedly the most
vile, dastardly and unprincipled at
tempt at moral assassination his bias
ed mind could conceive, yet it is so
absurd that it is more of boone
rang than anything else. In this in
stance Zimmerman rings in a secret
session of the Council of Defence,
and tries to pose as hero. In the
first place he lied about the writer
being a member-we have never been
