SO much. then, for wheat and the
opportunity II gives us for sacrifice.
Surely there must be other oppor-
tunities. The wheat sacrifice is
merely the one that happens just
now TO be very clearly defined and
very much needed The Others will
reveal themselves to the man or wo-
man looking for them.
Buying Liberty Bonds can be
made a sacrifice. Cutting out ones
luxuries and cutting down ones
comforts in order to lend money to
the Government and to the Allies is
sacrifice of sorts, although buying
Liberty Bonds by transferring saw
ings deposits or converting securi-
ties is hardly to be called that,
The thing to do is to try to yisua-
lie what the people inside the steel
ring about Belgium, and the mar
velous people of France, and the no.
bly, muddling-through people of
England, and the bravely struggling
people of Italy, are doing.
Inside the steel ring about Bel
GUM a whole people of seven and a
half million imprisoned bodies and
sorely beset souls has made constant,
universal, terrible sacrifice for four
years to maintain spiritual and
Ito the extent possible in the face
of machine guns at street heads and
in open places physical resistance
| to the German Juggernaut. The
Teuton government in Belgium has
kept up ever since the days of the in
vasion persistent attempt to break
down this ressitence by brute force,
insidious intrigue, and open invita-
ton to an easier life. But the Bel
gums have chose suffering and sac
rifice rather than surrender of ma
tional and personal honor.
The French morale, after an IN
conceivable sacrifice of men, money,
and material was never higher than
now England has given most of its
best and is now giving the rest,
and living life of repression quite
beyond our present understanding
Italy is living on polenta and fagio-
llini. All these people are making the
lsuperlative sacrifice. Our opopr-
tunity is beginning.
We must try to put ourselves
somewhere near them in this COM
mon opportunity and need for indi-
|vidual repression of luxury and COM

fort We are with them heart and

They are going the limit already; we
must go it too. When we get to that

CZECH SONGS FILL

This letter from an American avia-

There Is to my mind hardly any

four months, and have grown to b.

Slavs, in the French military school
| They worked for several weeks on
their program. You remember my
speaking OF having dinner with their
song leader to arrange some details.
They were anxious TO sing for the
Americans. because we were interest
ed in their music, and because the
relations have been very cordial. IT
was planned to have the stage in tn
open court. but it rained. and we put
il in a corner Of the cloisters. and
arranged the seats in both sides u

Tho stage was brilliantly lighted.
aud there was color enough in the
fcstuoped flags OF the allies There
was life. because all the Americans.
