years ago moved TO this city.

son IN FIRST AMERICAN ARMY

NJ. ID. Graves has just learned that
his son, Lewis, who left here for
France year ago, is member of
Co. c, Goth infantry, First American
army. This word was received from
Washington. Mr.. Graves of course
has heard from his son at different
times, but he could never learn just
to what army he belonged. He was
separated from the other Audubon
county boys soon after they left here
and never was able to rejoin them.
From present indications Lewis will
remain in France for sometime yet
and will likely be among those who
will occupy German territory during
the operation of the armistice.

To Her Majesty, Queen of Italy:

MRS. WILSON SENDS
MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Presidents Wife And DIR. Howard
Anna Shaw Plead For Purity OF
Character.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Or.
Shaw, the chairman or the W oman
Committee OF the Council OF Nation
al Defense, have issued the following
letter which contains Il message Tor
all women
To the Women of the Allied Nations
of the World:
Dear Friends: The unparalleled
struggle for democracy and perma-
nent peace which binds our Natlcn
in cooperative service is shared py
men and women alike. In the yearn
ing of the mother heart OF the Woflu
for the highest moral and spiritual
welfare of chilaren, there is deep
er and more subtle bona Wnlch
makes all women kin.
Out of the mutual agony and love
of the mothers of America, this mes
sage is sent to our allied sisters in
Europe, faithfully pledging our in
terest and cooperation in the protec-
ton of our sors and daughters at
this time of unequaled temptation
and danger.
In all our countries, mothers are
willing and proud to give their sons
to defend the ideals which underle
Government demands of them and to
accept with fortitude and calmness
their death. But they shrink from
the greater sorrow which comes
from the loss OF moral fiber that
robs them of health and manly vIgor.
1t is no wonder that their hearts
fail them when they realize the
temptations which beset their sons,
ties. living the unnatural life of the
camp, exposed to the excitement and
fierce passions of conflict; all of
which impair their powers to resist
temptations that under happier and
more healthful circumstances would
easily be conquered.
The same is true of their daugh-
tiers who are thrust out of the home
into world service with the glamour
of war and emotional phases of So
ciety which war tends to foster and
which lead to the breaking down OF
restraints that have hitherto been
their safeguards.
These abnormal conditions place
upon all women tremendous respon-
sibilities and urge the closest union
in an effort to conserve the moral
forces of society, to protect our
young men and women that they may
be kept pure and chivalrous, so that
after the conflict is ended we may
look with hope to the future home
life of our peoples, for the health of
body and mind, that purity and no.
bility of individual character, and
that Righteousness in government
which alone can insure permanent
peace and prosperity to any nation.
If we fail in this, then have our
struggles and sacrifices been in vain,
and future generations will rightly
charge the women of our time with
failure to meet the great responsible
ty which must always rest with the
mothers of the race.
Faithfully yours,
EDITH BOILING WILSON.

Democracy Fights On
(By Herbert Kaufman. J

(By Herbert Kaufman
God Himself cannot make an 'ante
statu quo" peace. The paths to Yes

that line them, irreplaceable. Yes,
land can be returned, but who shall
return their clean souls to seized
the towers of Louvain? How shall
Spring be made to dance before blind

Thus would the Prussian offer
penance. Thus would we win the
war and he the score. These are the
terms on which he'd sheathe his hate
Such a peace must all the more
convince the German people of their
superior quality and the superiority
of their political system.
How can an uninvaded, prevailing
empire, with still invincible armies
on every front, be expected to repu-
diate leaders whom combined Chris
tendon can't defeat.
Isolated, self-financed, self-nur-
tured, and terrifically outnumbered,
Prussia may well read victory in a
stalemate.
Peace with Junkerdom would be
equivalent to a treaty with the Mis-
sissippi-and as futile. So long as
outlaw rivers and races command old
sources and follow old courses, both
will break bounds at food-tide
Shall the cobra escape full-fanged?
Shall the Rhine Monster live on to
sow the world with dragons teeth
again? Shall the foul death of
kinsmen on violated sea seternally
stain our flag? Shall Mohammed's
knife be left at Asia's throat? Shall

oaths for loot
