WHAT THE BOYS OVERSEAS ASK

The boys in France may be many
miles away but their attention is
focused just as surely on what the
people of the United States are doing
as if they were here. This is evi-
denced by the following letter from
an aviator in Uncle Sans service over
there regarding the Fourth Liberty
Loan:
IF the people of our own United
State do not respond to the coming
Liberty Loan it will give the whole
American Expeditionary Force the
same feeling that / have often had
when I'm trying to loop the loop
pools and for a second or two I'm
helpless there, 5000 feet in the air
The controls are dead and l can only
wait until by driving l can nose out
of the STALL
"A few months over here has taught
me big things. The pitiful sights that
We see every day give us and added
determination to see this thing
through, but we've got to have the mon
ey and the confidence of all of you
back of US or we will be as helpless
as the rudder on my plane when the
flying speed is gone.
There is reality to things over here |
There are no hypocrites and no social |
obligations. The French are like |
brothers to US and they surely need |
all the help We can give them. They
are a wonderful people who have
sacrificed everything worth living for
or worth fighting for. All the men
except cripples and small boys are
fighting for the life of their coun-
try. Whatever this war costs the
United States it will be far cheaper
than fighting Germany in our own
country.
Perhaps you have not the contin-
ual spur to increase your energies
that we have. Every few days over
here you learn that Tom, who bunk
ed with you, has been killed, or that
Jim, the little fellow with the smile,
has been taken prisoner by the enemy,
or that the plane of the big quiet boy
who flew out over No Mans Land
close to you was brought down by
the Germans. These things make you :
grit your teeth and wish that you
could killed the man who killed him.
Bpt as the sharpness leavqs, you
wish that you might have taken his
place.
1T is not because we fear death that
we need your encouragement but be-
cause we are daily going out in;o {
new and it is only our best I
that we offer to Uncle Sam"
With the realization that this is
he spirit of our soldiers, should we
lOt also offer our best to Uncle Sam?

THE ROMANCE OF EDUCATION

The teacher who succeeds in impart-
ing zest to education, who brings about
an association of books and the things
OF school with joy, is a public bene-
factor. Why should the adventure Of
mind into the unknown be associated
with drudgery? Is it not possible to
make Of education the great romance
OF life, to bring it home as a great
drama Of exploration. discovery. and
conquest?-John Dewey. professor of
philosophy, Columbia University.

Never Give Up.

No matter how old you are you
should never give up trying to better
your best. The spirit to give up is by
far greater foe than years. When
you think right and aim to materialize
your thoughts it's wonderful what you
can do. So root out the craven ideas
of life and keep your eyes turned
westward. Forget your years and
tackle the young mans task. What
you lack in freshness you will make up
in good Judgment What you need is
the attempt Only when you make
the effort will you really learn what's
in neutrality-suspicious. Grit.

NEW YORK, Aug 2o.-The Young
Mems and Young Women's Christian as
socations, the american Library associa-
ton, and the war camp community serv-
ice, have agreed to join in a union drive
for Sl33, 100000 during the week beginning

Ia an explanatory statement issued by
George w, Perkins, Mrs Henry j. David
son, Myron Il Ilerricls and Frank A. Van
derlip, representing these four organiza-
tions, respectively, it was announced that
as the seven different organizations rec
osnized BY the government Tor Their
reereationa service rendered TO the army
and navy We're all planning money
ing campaigns within the next few months,
while in addition the fourth Liberty loan
drive is scheduled for October, it seemed
wise to group them and permit the pub
lie to contribute at once TO what is con
sdered a common cause, 1t IS added that
the four organizations do not attempt to
dictate to the communities how the mon
ey collected during the week of Nov. IL
shall be raised, but it strongly urges that
local representatives unite their machin-
cry in single committees, so that there
may be clearly one common drive, in
which all may participate.
Those responsible for this plan an
nounce that they have been informed by
Raymond B. Fosdiek, chairman of the
commission on training camp activities
Of the war department that the National
Catholic War Council knights of Column
busl, the Jewish Welfare board and the
Salvation Army are to be asked to join in
a common campaign in January, 1919
| 1t was said at the headquarters of the
Salvation Army that MIR. Fosdicks re-
quest had been received and would doubt
less be honored, although no action had
yet been taken on the matter The jew.
/ ish Welfare hoard and the Knights of Co
lumbus both reported that meetings
would be held within day or two to take
action on the matter.

HANDLING BRITISH WOUNDED.
Hospital Trains Built on Finest Plans
Americans Adopt Them.

One Of the methods used by the Brit
ish army in transporting wounded sol
diers from the battlefelds in France
with little fatigue and annoyance to
the men is the hospital train that re-
quires only a few transfers from the
time they are placed in the trains in
France until they reach the GONZALES
cent hospitals in England. The Ameri
can war department has ordered the
construction of similar trains embody-
ing all the improvements made by the
English, and some of the cars are al
ready in service.
"The trains consist of passenger
coaches of the finest type, more like
the American ear than anything else
seen on this side of the water says
The Military Surgeon, fThe ordinary
hospital train consists of one car with
compartments for the commanding Off
Ger, his one or two assistants, and the
nursing sisters, along with mess and
bathing facilities for each group; an
operating and dressing room ear, ear
for baggage and supplies, a varying
number of coaches for the ambulant
patients, and coaches provided with
racks on which the stretchers contain.
ing the recumbent patients are placed
These racks are so constructed that
three tiers of stretchers can be accom-
modated on either side of the aisle.
Zone of these hospital trains will
accommodate as many as 500 or Coo
patients. A patient is never removed
from the stretcher from the time he is
placed in the ambulance at the evacu
ating point until his reception on the
| hospital ship, and in some cases unit
his arrival at the convalescent hospita
in England The skill, case, and rapid
ity with which patients are handled il

on the faces of even the severely
wounded and seriously i'll, are the best
evidence of the satisfactory manner il
which the transportation of the sicl
and wounded is being carried out. Thu
