THE CLACKERS

Under this title, in a recent number
of Golfers, William Slavens McNutt
gives some of the stories of the terri
bic German efficiency and German
frightfulness which morbid people are
thoughlessly retailing, and makes the
following caustic comment:
Click clack. Knit-knock. The
knitting knockers were at it. The
cIackers were in session. A roomful
of patriotic American women sat
there clacking. They were all knit
ting for soldiers. There they sat MAX
ing sweaters and trouble for the men
who were enlisted to fight in their
protection. There they sat knitting
for the comfort of American soldiers
and releasing the most deadly of all
the poisonous gases that the German
mind has invented.
Every lie that those women were
uttering was a lie first uttered by a
paid German spy and carefully fos-
tered by German propagandists The
damage they were doing was a damage
! that Berlin would be glad to pay real
money for. Those women were invol-
tary traitors, and, because they did

scious of it's nature, the work was the
more to Berltn's liking. The damage
to America was the greater because
it was done-all unwittingly, but new
ertheless done-by loyal American
women.
"Clack- cIack, knit knock. Making
garments to warm a soldiers body and
sentiment to cool his courage! Ameri-
cans speaking aloud the things that
Germans dare but whisper; loyal
American women working the will Of
the kaiser! Clicking their needles to
the glory Of Uncl eSam and clacking
their tongues to the good of Won Hin
denburg! At worst the Stacker with
holds aid from America; the clacker
does definite enemy work. The clacker

YOUR MOTHERS THOUGHT
FOR YOU

I seek in prayerful words dear son,
My hearts true wish to send you,
That you may know that far or near
My loving thoughts attend you.
cannot find a truer word,
Nor fonder to caress you,
Nor song nor poem I have heard
Is sweeter than God Bless You!
God bless you! So I've wished you all
Of brightness life possesses,
For can there any joy at all
Be thin unless God blesses
Lest grief's dark night opress you.
For how can sorrow bring you harm
If tbs Gods way to bless you.
