Editor Berea Citizen:
wish TO announce TO our people
the wonderful gift Of all our gifts
received 10 the United War Work
Campaign, coming from the Queen
Of Berea's givers. Miss Childs. A
great many people fail to appreciate
this wonderful parsonage in our
community. for her quite and I'M
assuming ways fail To attract atten-
ton with those with whom she is
not working. Some Of us know her
by recognition Of name. Some OF
ms know her better. To know her
is but Ia increase your admiration
for American womanhood.
50 to the memory Of Lieut. Cleve-
land Gladly Frost, who went down in
the performance Of his duty, max
ing the supreme sacrifice that you
and I might be left and permitted
10 enjoy such duties as the one
through which we have just expert
enced, she gives as memorial the
sum Of one thousand dollars.
Serving God with our little is the
way To make' more, and we must
never think that wasted with which
God is honored, or men are blest.
Luther once said that the heart OF
the giver makes the gift dear and
precious.
Il want further to say a word Of
appreciation through your columns
Ia every man. woman and child con-
tributor to this War Campaign Fund.
This. Of course practically means
every citizen Of our community. IL
has been gratifying to me to see and
experience such unseltlsh co-opera-
ton as has been exhibited during
the past week. The atmosphere
seems permeated with the very
spirit of the undertaking, and every
body was anXiously waiting and
willing 10 do their bit
Our business men met the call in
a big way and not only gave their
dollars To the cause, but left their
places of business, and with sleeves

Various appeals TO the United
states have been made TO alter the
terms of the armistice with the
purpose of increasing the food sup
ply of Germany. Such an appeal
has been made by the Chancellor,
another by DR.. Solf, the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, and a third by the
women of Germany TO Mrs. Wilson.
Such action is regarded by some as
a propaganda to hasten peace mea-
sures or make them more lenient. II
is, however, more likely an express
SIGN of the restlessness of the peo-
pie.

The spread of democracy has now
included Holland, and a demand is
being made that Queen Wilhelmina
should abdicate. She has always
been a good ruler and popular on
the whole, but her husband is
German and has on several oc-
casions made himself obnoxious to
the Dutch. The subservient atti-
tude VI the crown to Germany dur
ing the war is another cause of dis
content, and the presence of the
German Emperor in Holland does
not help the feeling.

Yesterday it was only the men who
went forth to war while the women
remained behind to keep up the home
and cultivate the field. Today the
women still keep up the home and Gull
tivate the fields, but they also do their
part-a splendid part-in the actual
work of carrying on val Thousands
of these women are scattered about the

Of them very close to the actual battle
front, risking their lives and giving

where, and are an indispensable factor

CONSERVING WHEAT SUPPLY.

Although the wheat acreage of Eng
land is 45 per cent greater than hat
of last year, and the wheat fields #
France are making a better showing
than in 1917, while the crop in America
promises to be- n of the largest in
the history OF the country, it does not
follow that all restrictions or the use
of wheat can be removed in September
ed, the war consumption is likely to
continue for some time to come, and
the possibility of a partial failure Of
the wheat crop of 1919 must be con-
sidered. With the most stringent econ
Omy it is impracticable to accumu-
late a reserve supply that will meet
the requirements of the export trade
and relieve consumers at home of the
necessity of using substitutes for
wheat. The country, accordingly, will
have no reason for being surprised if
Mr. Hoover is unable next October to
tell Americans that they "a use wheat
flour a~ssfreely as in pre-war times.
The armies in France, Belgium and
Italy cannot hold the line without food
supplies from the United States, says
Providence Journal. Wheat is the
grain that is best adapted for ship
ment and storage at the camps-no
other cereal has its keeping qualities.
But corn, rye and other grains can be
used here without any difficulty. The
country now is consuming the substi-
tutes for wheat, and is getting along
very well. No one has legitimate
ground for complaining If the restric-
tons are not all removed. Conserva-
ton of wheat ought to be taken as a
matter of course as long as the world
Is obliged to fight the Huns.
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1918-08-17
COST oE RATS.

It will add to the ch~eerfulness with
which Americans conserve their sup
plies of grain for them to know that
the British government is imposing
heavy penalties upon its own people
who suffer food to be wasted needless
ly. A striking example of this is re-
ported through the United States food
administration. An English farmer
was fined ESQ (about $25O) the other
day because he permitted five or six
bushels of wheat to be destroyed by
rats" The officers estimated that
there were about 100 rats in the grain
stack, and the court held that a farm
er should come nearer than that to
controlling the rodent pests. The fine,
which amounted to some $50 a bushel,
served as a warning to others, but no
sum of money could replace the vast
ed wheat. The United States govern
ment has not yet found it advisable to
adopt measures so drastic. 1t has con-
tented itself thus far with making an
appeal to patriotism. But, as a matter
of fact, a bushel of wheat destroyed in
this country this year represents as
serious a loss as a bushel wasted in
any other country, says Portland Ore
gonian. The allies are pooling their
resources, and the responsibility rests
upon them all.

Major Bishop, the Canadian aviator,
has been appointed to the administra-
tive air board in London. When he
left the front and received his Victoria
cross some months ago, after shooting
down nearly fifty German planes and
two balloons, it was supposed that his
days as a fighting aviator at the front
were over; but he went to France
again as the commander of a new Brit
ish squadron and is reported to have
added to his string of victories. Major
Bishop won distinction by his combina-
ton of bravery with cool caution. His
victories were due not to reckless risk,
but to painstaking intelligence. He
has now reached the highest post at
tainable by a British war aviator.

WHAT YOU SAY.

What results from what you say Is
To- , important than what you mean
/ what you say, says Chicago News.
Thus in everyday language may be *
pressed the theory on which the United
States department of justice bases its
claim that more rigorous federal
statutes are necessary in order that
propaganda injurious to the conduct
of the war may be successfully COM
bated. A memorandum of the depart
ment says: "All questions of motive
should be most carefully excluded from
those provisions of the statute under
which the more subtle, dangerous and
effective types of antiwar propaganda
will have to be fought" 1t is pointed
out that the practice of courts in the
Interpretation of war statutes is to in
struct juries "to be careful and not mix
motive with INTENT This is clear. 1t
means putting acts of the civilian pop,
ulation on practically the same basis
as acts of the military, when those acts
bear upon the success or injury Of the
conduct of the war. The sleeping sem
try is seldom-almost never-guilty of
intent to help the enemy kill his soldier
comrades. And there are civilians
thoroughly sincere in their affection
for America and possessed of profound
hatred for PruSSianiSm who LET their
tongues wag, who prattle and proclaim
things helpful to the enemy. The rea-
soning of the department of justice is
that the one who is unintentionally
pro-German must be held responsible
without relation to motive, precisely
as the army holds responsible the SEN
try who did not mean to go to sleep on
duty.

A pound and a half of beef a week
for every person would be a liberal al
lowance in any other country than this.
1t is liberal, indeed, for Americans, and
more than the amount people of mid

York World. The observance of this
order of the food board involves NJ
self-denial, except to gluttons. And
none of the food conservation orders
so far issued has necessitated anything
like abstinence.
