Supper

Eyes, another happy happening"
said Mother Wolf, who was eager to
hear what Daddy Wolf had to say.

them-I was feeling contented and
sleepy.
'"The first man was talking of how
expensive food was these days and
how much they all had to spend for
what they ate. He said that he tried
to do all he could to keep the wolf
from the door,'
'Whatever did he mean by that?"
asked Mother Wolf. do tell me.
That was very strange speech for
anyone to make, it seems to me. And
we don't go around to peoples doors.
Too absurd. Well, continue, Daddy
Wolff
"Of course I had to listen to every
thing else they said so I could find
out what they meant
''And did you find out, Daddy Wolff"
asked Mother Wolf.
81 did indeed" he answered.
"Goodie," exclaimed Mother Wolf.
'Let's hear it,

''that he tried to keep the wolf from
the door-not in reality-but in make
believe"
81 don't understand" said Mother
Wolf.
Patience, dear mother, will ex-
plain. He meant that he wanted to
keep hunger from the door and he
wanted to keep his family and himself
from being too poor to buy good things
to eat"

around to peoples doorsteps and rang

"No," said Daddy Wolf, che seemed
to speak in that way as if everyone
knew what such an expression meant.
And it made me SO especially happy
because it showed what fine repu-
tation we have for a good appetite"
'You don't think it means that they
think we're poor?" asked Mother Wolf
doubtfully.
ooh, no, my dear, I'm sure about 1t.
We are always hungry and so are
people who can't get enough to eat.
But they can't always afford to eat
and we just have wonderful healthy
wolf appetites.
at shows the world thinks we're
good and strong, yes, good and strong.
It's a fine sign to have good appe-
tite-that is if one is a wolf"
Its splendid to have such world

1t would not be at all surprising if
AMERICA should adopt the nickname
which the English have given our SOL
diers. The term 'Huskies" seems to
fit very well the fine, solid and sub
stantial-looling men that now make
up the American army. Anyone who
has been around the training camps
or has seen the soldiers march
ing through the streets, or riding on
the railroad cars, or in any place
where their solid and substantial forms
are in sight. cannot help thinking of
them as mighty husky fellows.
There has been quite an undercur-
rent of objection to the term SAM
miles," the appellation which some
have attempted to apply to American
troops abroad. 1T is well-known in
the war department and among army
officers generally that the designation
was not altogether pleasing to the sol
diers. They believe the average sol
der will much prefer to be called a
Husky" rather than a Sammy"
More than that, the army men believe
that when the time comes the Ger
mans will be made to appreciate just
what our "Huskies' can do. either in
the way of defense or attack.

Washlngton.-Alre the officials of
Washington claim there have been
good results from the recent legislation
enacted which gives the government
more power in regard to seditious ut
terances and publications. 1t is as
serted there has been notable fall
ing off in the critical and carping COM
lnents in many papers, while those per-
sons who were constantly fostering OPP
position to governmental war policies
have begun greatly to modify their ut
terances. The officials here believe
the mere fact that the power exists to
punish will have still greater effect
as the full knowledge of what the gov
eminent can do reaches the pro-Ger-
man sympathizers in America.
1t is also asserted by officials that
the time is now opportune for all per-
sons Of German parentage or birth to
get on the right side and declare them
selves unequivocally for the United
States and against Germany. The Off
Gals here do not want to accept what
is becoming a growing idea, that is,
Once German, always German"
for, they believe there are many people
of German blood in the United States
who are loyal, although they have not
manifested it by proper declaration
and works.
One thing seems to be assured,
how ever, that public sentiment in the
United States is going to cause the
enforcement of the rigid laws which
have been enacted, and it will be well
for the pro-Germans, whether Ameri-
cans or foreigners, to guard carefully
their utterances in regard to the Unit
ell States and the great war.

Sometimes Washington correspond
ents wonder what the leading lights
on the metropolitan papers think Of
themselves and their influence. Take
for instance the recent changes of COM
mittee assignments in the senate. Very
vigorous assaults were made on Sena-
tor Hitchcock Of Nebraska on account
of his past record in relation to the
war in Europe, principally before the
United States entered the war. When
Senator Stone died and it was sug-
gested that Senator Hitchcock would
be made chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, several prominent
papers broke out with vigorous de-
mands that Hitchcock should not be
the successor of Stone.
Well. the time came to fill the vacan-
cy, and Senator HitchcOck's name was
proposed as chairman of the committee
on foreign relations, and he was elect
ed in the senate without dissenting
voice The whole transaction was by
unanimous consent. Naturally the pa
pers that had been making these de-
mands could not have been very much
impressed with the influence they
welded.

Washington authorities have learned
that the people of the country are
more interested in men who have
been at the front, who have seen
service, and who have earned dis
tinction in fighting the Germans. than
they are in anything else connected
with the war. Pershing's men who
have been at the front and returned
get more attention than any other
kind of men. in or out of uniform. The
so-called BLUE Devils" of the French
army received a great deal of atten-
ton, not only in Washington but else
where.
The Red Cross, which under its
present new management is doing so
much effective work, has been quick
actually done things. Therefore the
Red Cross takes 200 wounded French,
British, Canadian, and Australian men
who have been at the front and makes
them leaders in the movement to raise
the necessary money to carry on the
Red Cross work.
1t all goes to show that the actual
participation in the war by United
States forces is the one thing that has
aroused intense interest. That was
shown when our navy first went over,
and if more information were given
out about what our navy is doing,
there would be more real interest
manifested among our people in the
great war. 1t all goes to show that the
war must be brought home to people
before they become vitality interested
in it.
