WHAT THE VICTORY OR
DEFEAT OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAYSON
TERHUNE. author and globe-uotter,
to the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
cation)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civiliza-
j ton, rights Of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, it would mean infinitely more.
It would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash our per
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our natiOn-a record that means
more than the right to brag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains its
old form-even as q beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-
our nation (its traditions OF victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
inflict.
1t would mean that the man who has
risked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph. Thus, the moral tone Of the in
dividual, as well as Of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked In
a war of conquest. From 1875 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed
for some sterling principle Of right
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unselfshness
of our war aims has given US the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany Is
now battling. Should we fan In this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
emit estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is q
hundredfold justified.

BIG PATRIOTIC EVENT
IN THIS CITY FRIDAY

will be needed, so the people are
urged to divert some of their energy
from their own interests and help
this great work.
Brownlow Jackson, county chair
man of the war savings stamp COM
mittee, in conversation with a Hust-
Ter reporter, says that all the town
ship chairmen have assured him that
they will raise their quota and he ex-
pressed the assurance that the fun
quota would be raised and that Hen
derson county would go over the top
without a hitch.
The quota for Henderson county is
1857 900, of which only 10 per cent
has been raised up to the present
time This is a pledge campaign
rather than a campaign to secure
cash money. The pledges will be
taken during the next week and the
privilege of paying for the stamps at
any time during the year will be
given. Under this plan every one will
he benefited and the stamps will be
within the reach of all.

I earnestly appeal to all employers
of labor to inform their employees
about the special campaign and en-
courage them to help win the War by
saving, econOmizing, and investing
regularly in War Savings Stamps.
l call attention to the fact that
every citizen so notified is expected
to go to the schOOlhOuse of his dis
trict on Friday, June 2S, at p. M,
and also to the fact that record of
the attendance and proceedings of the
meeting at his schOolhOuse is to be
made and preserved.
I urge all citizens of Henderson
vile, with one accord, to work to-
gether to the end that, during the pc
riOd designated above, the entire
quota of War Savings Stamps appor-
tiDned to HendersonviIIe, which is
$4,000 per capita, may be secured in
purchases and pledges by Friday,

we are afanateQ.
We have just held a great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where large sum was raised for
this remarkable unit, which has sailed
to do such valuable work in France.
Every person in it, even to the plumb
erS and mechanics, are women, and
they volunteered for dangerous service.
Other branches OF our war service
have been an intensive food conserva-
ton campaign and the War-Savings
Stamps campaign. In all this active
patriotic work we feel inspired with
the thought Of our own chairman,
Mrs. Norman der. WhitehouSe, abroad
on an important government mission
and many others of the rank and file
OF our women who are engaged In de
voted service "over there"
Citizenship Schools
Another interesting branch OF our
work Is the great university extension
of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa-
tional Committee.
Another line Of work Is that Of our
Intelligence Committee, which lists Of
f1cialS of all political parties and all
men in every township and county In
the state who have run or are to run
for Office. 1t is believed this commit
tee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and its intelligence
will react on the civic welfare Of the
state most tellingly.
Our Americanization Committee has
issued some very effective and educa-
tional literature and is organizing in
every center and community where
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that a great part Of ma
tons war time eficieicy is in keeping
life normal and efficient at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps mcst nearly steady and normal
in it's industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for it.
The work of the Rural Problems
Committee perhaps is Of particular in
terest in this publication which is be-
ing sent out by the National Security
League. Very few people in the coun-
IEY nave W AGoAAAC LIZ" AA O04
body polite the rural committees are
disseminated against In the matter OF
sociA4izing forces. Our great cities
have their .amusements, their munich
pal halls and baths, their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lee
ture courses and innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated men
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some of these advantages should be
brought to the country districts.
Any rural woman who wants to be
put In touch with our legislative bull
letin, with our correspondence courses
in civic education or any information
in reference to the work Of the WO-
man Suffrage party should write to
that organization AT 3O3 Fifth avenue,

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

IT'S the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rat1onS.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January i, Australia had
stored 1OO,OOo,O0O bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex.
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of S0,00O,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1SO,OOO,OO0 BUSH
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out Of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat Left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop win add 135, 100000 to
the left over.
1t is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-lt is entirely a problem
Of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

LET UP ON DRESS.

It is about time the country
come to a realization Of it's proper
senses. 1t is time we economic
not only in food, but in dress.
The stupendous strides the nation
has made in dress and duding up
as not only alarming but danger
GUS and expensive. The stage has
been reached where people in al
most all walks of life are dressing
above their means. and are sacri-
ficing necessities and opportuni
ties to satisfy the craving for
dress. 1t is running democracy,
it is destroying ideals so necessary
for the men and women of to-mor-
row. 1t has permeated the
schools until poor people feel un-
comfortable about sending their
children to school for fear the
children will be pointed out, will
be mortified by the remarks Of
those possibly less able to afford
better dress, yet Haunting ite ia
the faces of their children. 1t is
time the whole community, in
fact the country let up in dress
and return to the simpler and less
expensive mode of living. The
place to start dressing is in the
school with the introduction of
regulation uniforms. Uniform
dress adopted, the effect for good
would spread and the evil would
be curbed. Why not start at
home and in our schools now?-

FORTY PER CENT FRENCH
DOCTORS DEAD; RED
CROSS Is HELPING.

When the war opened there
were $4,000 physicians and sur
geons in France. Of these $4,000
went to war. OF these $4,000 over
40 per cent have fallen during the
last three and half years. There
are communities in France Of %
600 population without a single
competent doctor. To meet this
emergency % well equipped Red
Cross dispensaries. three of them
in Paris, have been established
and the attempt is being made to
reach the civil population that IS
suffering the rayages of war by
detailing doctors and nurses for
service of these dispensaries. In
addition to these there are now
throughout the French republic
probably 300 clinics and minor
dlspensaries operated by the Red
Cross. In many cases these Oc-
cupy a single room OF French
hospital or other charitable instl-
tuition. The American Red Cross
is rev conducting, wholly at its
own expense, seven hospitals for
children and tuberculosis patients.
NJ work could appeal more
strongly to those of us at home
than this phase Of Red Cross en-
deavor. 1t is only one branch.
but an important one and is a
further reason why American
men, women and children should
give and give until it hurts to the
Red Cross War Fund. Will you
help?
