Conducted at first Independently,
the camp welfare work has been
merged with the war relief work
which the Christian Scientists We're
doing in foreign countries before the
United States entered the war. For
both these purposes about n mil

The aim Of the Christian Science
camp workers is to be as helpful as
possible TO all the men in the camps,
whether or not they are Christian
Scientists, and particularly TO give
assistance which may not be avail
able at the time or place through any
of the other camp welfare agencies.
A feature Of this phase Of the work

THE PRESIDENT S REPLY

The American reply to the Teu
tonic peace proposal makes it
pretty plain that President vii
son is not out to purchase a pig
in poke. Adroitly couched in
vague language which really
meant nothing except that Ger
many wants to bargain with the
allies, the chancellor's proposal
is subject to almost any mterpre-
tation which he might wish to
giveit. Now what the president
did in his reply was to say to
Germany, Come clean; state def
initely whether you agree to the
terms which set forth in my adj
dress TO congress or whether you
merely accept these as a matter
for discussion. In the meantime.
you must take your armies out of
all conquered territory"
BY a few deft strokes Of his
pen the president has swept aside
all the camouflage in the chan
cellor's note and revealed the es-
sentlal issues involved. Reduced
to its simplest terms, the presi-
dent 5 reply means that until
Germany completely complies
with all the American demands,
we shall continue. to conduct our
negotiations through General
Pershing, using nothing except
the brand of logic which has been
popular in Germany in the past
" force, force to the utmost"
America is not seeking any bar

mise in the least any Of the prin-
ciples for which we entered the
struggle would. mean that the
whole gigantic tragedy has been
in vain. TO fail to carry on un-
til the objects for which we fight
have been achieved would be to
betray the. brave boys who lie
buried on foreign battlefields and
those who are still barring their
breasts to bullets for us. We can
not quit the field until we have
wiped out the German will to
