U LISTS.

Day by day as the dread lists come from over
There. they are seen to be longer and longer. Boys
from all the states are there. our own Hoosier state in
Guided. Little by little the awful toll mounts into the
hundreds, then the thousands all over The country sean
those lists. each dreading TO see one particular name
All of those boys are dear to all OF u. They are
the chosen of God and man-chosen Of God because He
endowed them with mental and physical excellence;
chosen Of man because Of these splendid gifts. and sent
to fight The great fight. Yes. those boys are dear 10 all.
but % each and every one of US there is one dearer
man all the rest. This one may be son. brother, hus-
band or very dear friend. We pray to God TO save
our boys" but. consciously or unconsciously. our souls
CRY is that God should save one particular boy. L mat
tiers not that cool reason tells US that one boy is no
dearer TO God than the other BOYS. All are equal in
His sight. But always one boys eyes are brighter, one
boys smile sveeter, than all the rest, and for that one
boys name We search with terrorstricken eyes-each
day. We are sorry, oh. so sorry. for each name We read,
but still we give a sigh of relief that, so far. our boy is
safe. Selfish? Yes. perhaps. but very human.
And many have looked each dav for many days. only
to read the one name at last. Then, who can realize
the agony? For they know that the one boy never will
come back. They are fighting, those boys, to make the
world free. to make it a fit place in which to live. 1t is
right that they should be there. There is no other way.
The world will be purged and its people freed from the
Prussian curse in time, but it will never again be the
same happy world to those who have read the one name
All this because of one beast in human form. he
alone has power 20 save his own. His boys. his own
vicious breed. are safe behind the firing lines. They
have not and will not be thrown into the maelstrom
unless it is when they fee before the victorious Allies.
And then. what shall be the verdict against him and his?
At that seemingly far-distant day Of reckoning. he
should be tried by a iury-a vast jury. composed of
those who have watched the dread lists and have found
the one name. the Columbus Republican SAYS There is
little doubt what the verdict would be.

THE GREAT EFFORT STILL 70 COME.

Hoping against hope many people in this country
in letting their eyes run over the war news as it comes
from overseas. and letting their thoughts run wild
over that news express as their conviction that the war
cannot last much longer. They profess to believe that
Germany has shot its bolt. Nothing is farther from the
truth. Not even at the beginning OF the world war was
Germany in better shape than she is now 10 carry on
her war and to see her british barbarous aims esta5-

The German army has not shot its last bolt on the

TO WHOM ARE you wRirINeq

Write to the soldier boys on the other side and
write to them on this side.

yourself in their places and imagine your being separated
from all that you love and hold dear.
Many of them have never been away from home
before in their lives for any extended period and there
is nothing 10 eat the heart out like inconsistencies.
Proof that these letters are like mama from
heaven for our boys in service is not wanting They
tell It TO those returning overseas to this country. Every
ship that comes over brings letters showing how the
boys want to hear from the home folks.
Write 10 them and write to them again. If Won have
no relative write to some boy you know: never mind
whether YOU ever spoke to him at home or not. Don't
stand or Formally with A soldier or sailor. Show him
that YOU appreciate what he is doing for his country
and FOR you.
10 you know that nintynine times out of a hundred
when a sick or wounded man IN France is delirious it
is a woman's name that his lips call? Oh. you ought to

enough sadness at the front where they are ready for
death every minute.
What greater consolation for you to know: what
greater JOY could fill your heart to cherish than 10 know
that the last thing some soldier boy did just before he

MILK AND WATER PATRIOTISM.

The other night a prominent Indiana man came to
a certain city in Lake County not a thousand miles away
to outline a war activity campaign. He spoke Of patriot
ism and what it means. His words were starspangled
and his thoughts were very much to the point. They left
a deep impression on his auditors until the news became
known the next day that the speakers son was q swivel
chair warmer and that instead Of being with our boys
over there he was in Washington in that vast army Of
civilians logged out in military uniform. protected frcV
any danger. Somebody Of course has TO fiji these eaA
Jobs, but somehow or other il doesnt leave a very sweet
taste in ones mouth 70 hear a man preach patriotism and
not go The limit for that patriotism. Lake County with
ITS big honor roll is a mighty poor place 10 listen to lin
patriotism. There have been too many Of our sons
killed and wounded over there. Their young lives have
been sacrificed TO deeds, not words.

The money so invested goes to the Government,
