our DEBT 10 OUR Allies
(By E. t. Meredith in Success Farm

(By E. T. Meredith in Success Farm
ing for July.)
/ have just returned from five
weeks in England and France as a
member of the American Mission,
am sure our readers will wish to
know our impressions and In this first
report l am going to tell you my i'm
pressions rather than incidents of the
trip.
I have received many impressions
on my trip and my viewpoint on some
matters has changed, but believe
the greatest impression received and
the thing of which I am most full
lust now is the debt we owe Great
Britain and our allies, and the fact
that in this country we have not be-
gun to know what real sacrifice is.
All that can be said of Great Bri-
tain can also be said of France, Italy
and Belgium and all our allies, but ]
am more acquainted with the work
and sacrifice of Great Britain as our
mission came more closely IN touch
with Great Britain.
Many of US have looked upon Great
Britain as a great, strong, self-sutfi-
Gent as she is. Many has termed the
war "Great Britain's war" and have
felt satisfied that she should see If
through, but few of US have realized
the very great sacrifices her people
are making and the debt we owe for
the protection she has afforded US.
Except for the soldiers of Great
Britain, the war would have been lost
and each must judge for himself
what that would have meant fol

The Heroic Women

Except for the women of Great
Britain, the war would have been
lost. Women are in the munition
factories, transportation service and
are doing mems work of all kinds;
getting up two hours earlier in the
morning to have time to read the cas-
ually lists to see if their husbands,
brothers or sons may be in the lists
and then going to do mems work in
the production of guns, aeroplanes
or other war equipment, even though
they find in the list the name of one
who is near and dear to them.
/ have seen as bright, clear-eyed
girls as your daughters and mine in
uniforms of all kinds, doing the work
of the Y. NJ. c., A. canteen girl, the
Red Cross nurse, the ambulance driv-
er, driving the taxi on the street; l
hav seen them in overalls of the la
borer, in the jumper of the factory
worker, making tanks, flying ma
chimes, cots, uniforms, shells, every
thing without which the war would
have been lost and we in America
would have felt the shock of our sea-
cost bombarded, our cities bombed. /
have seen boys, barely over sixteen
in the recruiting offices and men SO
old they have been obliged to mis-
represent their ages in order to en-
