imposed by statute of $25 and costs.
Mr.. Ray stated that in these times of
food conservation, especially in the
matter of conservation of meat, he
thought he ought to be entitled to a

important as other factors in war.
The strain comes with the first swift change from civil
to military life, when these organizations give your man a
place to meet his family, books to read and study, the,
hospitality Of American homes, when whole cities are re-
adjusted to the new conditions created by having a cans
torment nearby.
1t comes later, too, when a man. has been off in some
lonely camp for weeks, when the war itself seems miles
away, when letters are irregular and home seems some-
where in another world, when a man has lived out in a

The need is for a sum 1929 greater than any gift ever asked for
since the world began. The Government has fixed this sum at
Sic, 100000.
By giving to these seven organizations all at once, the cost and

THE SoUEAL1NG HUN

Beaten at their own game, the Ger
mans are now appealing to the Geneva
Red Cross to protest against the use Of
poison gases in battle.
The German army first introduced
poison gases into warfare in April,
1915, when it made a surprise attack
on the Franco British troops in Ypres.
Use of gas as weapon of warfare was
specifically prohibited by solemn COW
erant signed by representatives of
Germany, but this covenant was SIM

Germany held in contempt and pre-

STORY. OF A MAJOR

The following story is being told
about BROOKLYN, N. T.. major now
In camp:
Soon after his promotion he was
looking at the gold leaf on his shout
ders somewhat quizzically.. "You see,
it's something like this" he ex-
planned. Some years ago, when ]
was first lieutenant, a friend of
saine asked me what were the func-
tons Of I'll various ranks and told
him that q first lieutenant Is supposed
TO know everything and do every
thing, a captain is supposed to know
everything and do nothing and a
major is supposed to know nothing
and do nothing"
THE friend heard about my pro-
motion and received telegram
from him which read: You ought to
make fine major -

means to give the Hun a dose of his
own medicine. For many months the
gases used by the British and French
have been distinctively superior over
the kinds used by the Germans and
the gas masks devised by Americans
and their Allies practically completely
nullify the effects Of German gases 1t
was not until the Hun realized this
superiority on the part of our Allies
that he began to squeal.
The Germans have various uses for
the Red Cross. They employ it's en-
blem as target when they wish to
sink hospital ships carrying sick and
wounded soldiers and then attempt to
use the humanitarian organization to
bring about discontinuance of firing
gas shells which would not have been
even thought of by our Allies but for
the fact that defense against bar
barous enemy made it necessary.

REPLACEMENT CAMPS PLANNED

Replacement camps are to be es-
tablished in at least two of the camps
and environments at present occupied
by National Guard and National Army
troops. When the soldiers now in
these camps and cantonments have
been sent overseas, the Division of
Operations of the General STAFF Of the
Army will select two or more Of the
sites for quarters for divisions of
$4,000 men who will be held in read
mess to I'LL vacancies in the Expedi-
tionary Force. The replacement
troops, which will be selected from
men coming in from the draft, will re-
ceive special training so as to fit them
to fill vacancies abroad.

have waved above that squatty crow
that masquerades as the PTussian
eagle. But this aim will become, clear
even to the German intellect some day,
and when the Huns see what the driv-
ing force, was behind America, they
will understand why it was impossible
for us to lose. J.
The time may come for Germany
when even the channel ports Of Bel
GUM and the coal mines Of the Briey
basin will not seem worth the blood
that they will cost and so Germany
may decide to throw UP the sponge.
But no such time can come for Amer
lea. Our prize is so high that to gain
it is worth the last dollar and the last
drop of blood-and to lose it 10 to lose
everything else that makes life worth
living. Germanys piratical purposes
can be cooled in blood, but nothing can
satisfy the soul of America except to
gain the end we sought when, in April
1917, we entered the war. And what
is that end? It is victory.
= We are in this struggle for only one
thing-to win. That means the utter
crushing of Prussianism and with that
the liberation, not only of Serbia, Rou-
mania, France and Belgium, but of the
Germans as well. 1t means the res
toration Of the plumber and the repara-
ton of the wrong perpetrated by the
Huns. It means the reestablishment
of morality, the revival of religion, the
rehabilitation of mans soul and the
retreat of wickedness. These are great
ends. They cannot be computed by
dollars or measured by provinces.
Only one word embraces them all
That word is the moving ideal OF
America today-Victory.
