people became aware of these condi-
tions they would be bettered.
The conditions in the trenches in
Serbia were described as pitiful. The
men may be in water up to their knees
while fighting but this makes no diff
ference. The speaker stated that the
nervous strain on men in the first line
trenches is 50 great that they are al
lowed to remain there not more than
seven days at one time. On the west
ern front when the men leave the
trenches for a rest they are greeted
by the Red Cross huts, the Y. M. G..
A. and K. G. huts, where they caa
get something warm to eat and drink,
and may hear a word of cheer, and
further back from the trenches they
can take bath and get cleaned up.
The Serbs have none Of this, he said,
and he remarked that he had heard
Serbian soldiers say that they had
been forgotten by both God and man.
BE saw one large group of Serbian SOL
diers who were returning from the
frant trenches, stricken with malaria.
They had to walk thirty miles from
the trenches because there were no
conveyances, and the condition of
many of them was pitiful. These same
conditions existed along front of
forty miles.
At the conclusion of his talk FIR.
Jaeger said America will help these I'M
fortunates because this country has
always been ready to respond to any
calls for assistance, and will always
be ready to help when needed. He
pointed out that it is not money that
is needed over there, but that it is
food. This is one Of the main rea-
sons for our food conservation here,
he said, and it is absolutely necessary
for us to conserve the food and give
them little crumb. Not only is Ser
bia starving but Germany and Aus
tria are also starving, and when this
war is over and the cries of the won.
en- and children, who are but skin and
bones, arise for food, who is to feed
them but the United States? This is
the only nation that will be able tc
do it, and it will
After his talk, FIR. Jaeger exhibited
a number of stereopticon views which
he had taken during his visit to Ser
bia and he also exhibited some pictures
which has been taken by German o.
Austrian officers who had been killed
or captured and these pictures 70 nc

AMERICA FIRST


Won't you 90 to the theatre with
me? Did any one ever hear that invl-
tation and not respond in some way
to it? Now that is exactly what the
Smilagc Books are saying. They are
saying to your boy over the sea or in
cantonment in this country. 81 have
some tickets to the theatre and it
would give me a great deal Of pleasure
to have you use them. So I am send
ing a book containing 20 tickets to
the Liberty Theatre, and you will find
one in every camp, and I want you to
go and have a good time. You will,
because you will hear George Cohen
and you will hear great singers and
you will hear all the great orators and
actresses who are generously giving
their services to you. That is why
these books are called what they are,
Smilage Books, because they are made
possible through the spirit of gener-
osity.'
| And when your boy tears off one of
the coupons from his book and goes
off to the theatre he will not go alone
but with feeling that you are with
him, enjoying as he enjoys, laughing
as he laughs.
| These books are being sold through
your bank and they can be secured
also at the America First office, IL
First National Bank Bldg, Little
Falls. They cost one dollar and have
twenty tickets in them. You send q
book to your soldier, he will 60 to the
theatre, the money which you pay for
the book will go to pay the actual ex'
penses of conducting a business like
that. The performers give their ser
vices to the government. Here Is your
chance to say: "WiH you 60 to the
