Our Troops to Be Used Now.

According to present understanding,
there will he no change in the policy
concerning the use of American troops
at the front. They will continue to be
brigaded with British and French forces
for immediate service at such points on
the line as are in need of strengthen
ing. Denial of the story which came
mysteriously from Ottawa to the effect
that so confident is the allied high COM
mand Of ability to stop the German
drive with British and French troops
alone that they will not call upon the
Americans for aid, but will hold them
for later service when they have de-
veloped into a large, self-sustainine
force, unquestionably relieves apprehen-
sion lest the American contribution to
the present phase of the allied defense
should be reduced to negligible point.
The placing of American troops in
the front line and their participation
in the actual fighting greatly quickened
the American people in their realiza.
ton Of the fact that the United States
is now definitely engaged in the great
struggle. To relegate our troops in
France to the role Of reserves in train.
ing would dampen the ardor Of the ma
tion and lessen the spirit of the troops
themselves. 1t is reassuring to know
that the men We have sent and are send
ing are to fight now in what may be
the supreme battle of the war, and that
they will contribute to the result which
is confidently expected in terms of Ger
man defeat.

Buy Stamps With Your Interest!

Tomorrow the interest on the second
liberty loan bonds falls due and cou-
pons may be cut from them and pre-
sentcd at the banks, or checks will be
received from the Treasury in payment
of the interest. 1t is suggested that the
best possible use to which this money
can be put is to buy war savings stamps
with it. The bondholdcr who does this
will he making his funds work doubly
for him. His initial investment in
bond will be earning better than COM
pound interest, for the stamps and GER
tifcates on the fve-year loan them
selves bear compound interest.
There is, however. better reason for
buying war savings stamps or certifi-
Gates with the bond interest than the
mere gaining of an additional profit
Every dollar and penny paid out by the
government on these bonds will thus
flow back into the Treasury, to be ap-
piled to the pressing needs of the gov
eminent. 1t will 60 out from one win
dow and back through another. A more
practical way to help win the war
through the maintenance Of the fighting
fund could not be found.
Most of the interest coupons are for
small sums, as the average bond is in
the lower denominations. Considered in
dividually this amount does not signify
much to the bondholder. It can be cas-
lily spent and relatively wasted. But if
the interest is turned into stamps the
total means very great help to the
Treasury. In this city alone, with
second-issue bond sale of over $23,0OO,-
600, the interest payments due tomor-
row will amount to $3.50 900, which would
buy certificates worth $552, 1885 January
l, 1923. IF that amount is turned into
war savings stamps it will help to bring
Washington's purchase of the short
term "notes" of the government up con-
siderabIy. The local sales are now be-
low the quota point and this will be an
excellent opportunity to jump them.
Plan tonight to buy W. s. s.. tomor-
row with your bond interest! Then next
week you will have something to give to
the Red Cross, in addition to cash or
liberty bonds, in doing your bit to make
up the half-mi!lion local quota of con-
tribution to the hundred million fund.

publicans as much committed to the war
and its successful prosecution as the
democratss Have they not hitherto
voted promptly for all the supplies
asked by the administration Why
should they cry halt now, or soona What
would warrant a turning back on their
parti
This question of additional supplies
very large supplies should be settled
strictly on its merits. Politics should
have nothing whatever to do with it.
What concerns all is. Does the govern
ment need the money! and should pro-
vision for finding it be made nows
1t may be said without disparagement
of anybody in particular that the coun
try knows too little about the gen
eral financial situation in matters which
have been affected by the war. In the
year of our activities we have hurried
a good deal-too much so in some things.
Our hurry has produced our worry. We
have hurried with appropriations with
out keeping account of the investments.
Until recently, nobody in Congress
seemed curious or the subject. A sort
of free lunch seemed spread. Step up,
anybody and everybody, and get a
share. There appeared grub enough for
all.
At last. the Missouri spirit is being
manifested. Congress and the country
want to be shown" There is no threat
of refusal to GO on with the work in
hand but only natural desire ex-
pressed for information as to perform
ances to date. as to what further is re-
quired at present, and just how it should
be supplied.
Teamwork remains the imperative de-
mand. Those who supply and those who
spend should keep in closest touch and
confidence, and work together for the
common end.

The Woman-Power of America.

!, Man power is not all that wins wars.
Woman power is factor of prime i'm
portance. 1t is woman-powcr that is
helping England at this time to main
tain her armies in the field. Women
are doing mems work there and also
in France and in Italy. The women of
Europe have. indeed, stood as a bull
wark against the Hun.
The women of America have not vet
been called upon to do as much. rela-
lively, as their sisters of the other al
lied countries. but they have been or
ganizing and today stand as a tremen-
dous force for victory. There arc.
roughly speaking, 3o,0o0,000 women in
this country. and it is estimated that
two-thirds of them have been aligned
for some form of war work under the
general direction of the National Coun-
ell of Defense.
At this time the national conference
Of the women's committee of defense
council is in session in Washington,
with delegates from every state. They
are discussing ways and means of serv
ing the nation effectively in war.
Through their state, county and town
chairmen they are putting into motion
the forces of conservation that are util
izing the resources of the country to the
full. They are saving hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars in value through their
personal efforts and showing the way
to all the people how they can help to
win the war.
:. In all the governments endeavors for
victory the women of America have rem
dered the most effective aid. They have
served on collecting committees,
have sold immense numbers of liberty
hospital units, have personally volun
teered for service, have co-operated ef-
fectively in all the conservation en-
deavors, have maintained war gardens
and are ready to take the places of men
in all lines of labor. They are here now
through their representatives to ask
how they can serve best, how they can
put their organizations to the most eff
eient use.
When the record of the war is fully
written it will be found that the women
Of America have contributed invaluably
TOWARD success. They have strengthen
ed the fighting spirit of the men who
have gone to war and have seconded
their efforts at home by sacrifices and
service. The twenty million American
yomen-eveptually without doubt to be-
come thirty million through more per-
feet organization-form an army upon
which the kaiser and his generals evil
IDENTIFY did not reckon in their contem-
plation Of the United States as a pos
sible factor in the war.
