Chateau-Thierry The words are
opulent In suggestiveness. 1t was
there that the soldiers from America
dared hell for the cause of humanity
and their dag and turned German
hope into despair. Ii was Chateau
Thierry that gave the Germans the
first taste Of Americas lighting quail
ties and revealed to our brothers in
arms the invincibility of the boys who
had come across the seas to put Shout
ders to theirs. Chateau-Thierry looms
large in the war. 1t will loom spectac.
ular in history. 1t will be shrine for
American hearts. says Louisville Cour-
ler-Journal. Soon there must stand
upon that battlefield monument to
the heroism of American Boys who
achieved the impossible and who sealed
the death warrant for the kaIser's
army. And Argonne forest and st.
Mihiel-the whole procession OF them
leads TO Sedan. Chateau-Thierry was
the gateway TO the end.

LEAVE IT TO wAuwATosA.

When Wauwatosa sets out to do a
thing she surely reaches her goal and
exceeds her hopes. During the week
Of Christmas a Christmas tree stood
at the east end of the bridge, and a
box was placed on counter in the
drug store of Kuhnmuench Bros.
When it became known that contribu-
tions for French orphans were to be
placed in the box and tags bearing
the names of the donors were TO be
placed on the tree, the pennies, nick
els and dimes began to drop in the
box, with sometimes the quarters and
the dollars slipping in. Before the
week was far advanced the box be-
came heavy several times and the
tree took on a brighter appearance by
reason of the bright tags hanging
from its branches, and by the last of
the week flags and lights frightened
the top, indicating the number of or
phans which had thus been adopted
Leave It to Wauwatosa."
When the receipts from this source
were counted (no small task, by the
way, more than $4,000 was the re-
suit. meaning that at least four father
less children in France would not go
hungry
"Many Nickle Makes Muckle"
Aside from this fund various indiyid-
uals lad personally adopted children.
AS a result of this weeks campaign,
Wauwatosa became responsible for
twelve of the French orphans, and a
goodly fund was in hand toward the
support of another one.

faithful workers and committees!
Hurrah
We hope to be able to give next
week the exact amount received, and
possibly the names of the children
adopted.

Verbal controversy is one of the
most useless things In this world.
People who engage in 1t could seldom
be convinced by any argument, how
ever logical and however temperately
presented. But the trouble Is that,
logical or not. the dispute rarely Is
conducted in a moderate way. The
argumentative ones grow excited in
spite of themselves; sometimes they
become angry, sometimes they are
merely hurt" In any case they are
likely to become incoherent or dis
courteous according to their tempera-
ment and to part with coolness, all
because they do not know when to
stop.
