THE BARRED ARROW

In November. 1918. when in
gstructiOns were received that
each Division in the A. e. +.
should choose a distinguishing
mark, ii was thought that the
red circle no longer typified the
character of the 32nd Division.
1t had shown by the part taken
in the actions in the Chateau
Thierry sector on the Juvigny-
SoisSOnS front. as we'll as in its
fighting in the Argome forest
and on the MeuSe that the sol
diers of the Bend Division did
not run around i'll circles but that
they shot through all obstacles.
The troops of the Division on
many occasions formed flying
wedge launched against the Ger
man lines and this fact led to
the selection of the arrow as its
symbol. The Commanding Gen
eral of the Division when asked
why he had chosen the Barred
Arrow as the distinguishing
mark of the Division, said. Il
chose the barred-arrOW as the
Division symbol because we
pierced every line the BOche put
before us

ASK RED CROSS TO KNIT
REFUGEE GARMENTS
Women of America Will Assist Women
and Children of War Stricken
Countries

The executive committee OF the RuSk
County American Red Cross held a
meeting at the local rooms Wednesday
evening at which time they accepted a
quota for knitting children's stockings,
sweaters and muff1ers.
a request was made recently to the
different chapters to stack needles
which was based on the fact that all
the sweaters and other knitted articles
necessary for the men in service, had
been made. The Red Cross is now
faced however with another need, that
of the destitute war suffering women
and children. \ recent cablegram
from Europe states that this need is
great to a degree which few OF us at
home can possibly realize" TO help
meet this emergency it has been de-
cided that the yarn on hand in the
chapters and in the division ware
house should be knitted up as quickly
as possible. The yarn on hand is
suitable only for hand knitting and 1t
is desirable to have this wool made in
to refugee garments for the women
and children in dire need.
This is an appeal to the women and
children of America to assist the
women and children Of the stricken
countries The war is over ana the
soldiers have completed their part, the
people of America however have
some things to accomplish before their
work is through lets see it through
to the fnish.'' Ladies who can make
knitted articles are urgently requested
to call up Mrs Frank Hughes, secre-
tary of the local chapter.

THIS QUESTION is
A VITAL ONE

Were we really worth fighting for?
1t will be well for each of us TO pom
der that question before the opening
of the Victory Liberty Loan on April
Dist.
The answer will be the size of our
subscription to that loan, not in dollars
but in proportion to our financial abil
ity.
Over and over the story comes to us
from those who are now coming back,
of how i'm the mud and suffering of the
trenches: in the long shell-shattered
silence of the night watches; in the
short. sharp struggles; in the endless
monotOny of training and waiting and
working; in the shell holes and on the
hospital cots, the one cheerful, SuS-
tanning thought was of the folks at
home.
Service of country and for an ideal
meant to the average only protection
and service for the 'home folks" Gal
liant performances were easy because
they would please the dear ones across
the Atlantic. Over and above and
through all the heroism ran the
thought of doing credit to those whom
they were fighting for and were willing
to die for
With childish eagerneSs, strong men
waited for and devoured news from
home. With high strung nerves they
listened to reports of the progress OF
former Liberty Loan drives and when
they heard how the "hOme folks"
went '.Over the top" these boys went
back to their grim business OF war
with renewed courage and with the
smiles that the enemy could never
fathom nor stand against.
1t all meant to the "Sammies" that
they were backed by the folks at home.
The fathers and mothers and brothers
and sisters for whom they were fight
ing. understood. They were with them
in spirit They were doing their
share, were backing them to win. AS
result those fighting "Yanks' went
back to their job of winning with re-
newed courage.
Now our soldiers have done their
part. They have finished their JOB.
Some Oh ItlcIu Will IicNtl NoihC DdNh W
us. The others are returning TO those
they fought for.
But our job isn't finished until the
United States has honOrably met every
commitment made in order to win the
| war" We will not be honorably dis
charged until we have loaned our gov
ernment the money it must have to end
| this war and secure for us and the
whole world lasting peace.
Are we going to refuse to answer
this call of duty?
Are we going to refuse to make per-
manent the benefits our boys fought
| and died to win for us?
/ Are we going TO quit under fire! III
we do. can we face those boys grown
into men on the battlefields of EuropeE
Can we welcome them home and call
them comrades?
They fought for us. Were we worth
fighting for?

SURRENDER OF

Washington Statesman Says Proposed
Document is Full of Entangling Al

Abyss by Reason of Participation

WASHINGTON. Feb. l9.-In the first
prepared address on the league OF nations
delivered in the senate since the constitu-
tion Of the proposed league was made pub
lie, Senator Poindexter of Washington,
Republican, today declared the entrance
OF the United States into the league
would mean surrender of American
rights, privileges and soyereignties, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine and
violation of the constitution The con
stitution OF the leagie, he asserted, was
conflicting, indefinite and uncertain and
the machinery which it proposes to sci
up similar to the Soviet government o.
Russia.
No such colossal burden or entanglmg
alliance was ever before conceived in ths
world he said Instead OF being an in
strument of peace it is the fertile seed u
war; the dragons teeth from which, wher
sown, armed soldiers will spring.
Through participation in drafting tn,
league constitution, he declared, the Unit
ed States had been led to a point wher,
we are now facing an abyss.
