SEW ON. LITTLE GIRL!

Little girl, stitching happily at your trousseau,
God made the spring for you. It is your Supreme
Hour. Stroll under the stars and breathe your
perfect ioy-the bliss of drifting down the great
current of natural law.
Sew on, little girl. All the romance of the hui
man race centers on you. Mothers of the future,
thank God for your function in life-greater than
organizing trusts or winning wars.
Consider your sisters of the engagement ring,
Mary, a Red Cross nurse, whispered eyes" in
France. Possibly your own first true lovers kin
folks owned a movie. You are all the same-sis-
ters who have wonan's faith in man.
Uncle Sarl-your Uncle Sam in Washington
has a message for you: Very recent figures show
that one out of every nine American marriages is
a complete failure-ends in divorce.
Let this fact not weaken your resolve nor
cloud your hopes. Be sure that you have the right
man. Be sure that you and he really know each
otner-that there is no %pretense, no masquerade
ing.
Ahead Of you lies a greater adventure than be-
falls a soldier crossing the seas. All is not SUM-
shine in married life. Nor all clouds. Think not
Of the one woman in nine whose romance ends in
a divorce court. Eight women of the nine find
marriage a success. With you and your mate
rests the choice.
Both Of you! Believe in life. Believe in hui
mans, with allowance for their handicaps as hui
man beings. That is the most priceless of life's
gifts. Let no cynicism-no blue-vitriol philoso-
phy-eat like acid into your heart and soul. Mar
ried happiness, like love, is a state of mind. Strive
that that state not slip away.
Sew on, little girl, working with your trous-
seau. Yours is the happiness of the butterfly and
the mother bird-you have faith i n 'life, faith in

CORPORAL YORK.

The story OF Corporal York under the title,
THE Second Elder Gives Battle" in the Saturday
Evening Post of April &c reads like an incredible
yarn of deliberate manufacture, but the facts APP
peared in the Governments Official Bulletin sew
eral weeks ago, together with General Pershing's
recommendation of a medal of honor from Con-
gress. So there would be no room for doubt even
if the author of the article referred to did not
amply cite his authorities. On October 8, 1913,
Corporal York of Company G, 328th Infantry,
killed twenty-Odd Germans, captured 1872 prison
ers, including a major and three lieutenants, put
35 machine guns out of business, and thus broke
UP an entire battalion. There were seven Ameri-
can ~privates supporting him, but they had to
guard the prisoners first taken and it was York
alone who defeated the machine gun battalion
with his rifle and automatic pistol. Kneeling in
the brush of the Argonne forest and firing rapidly
at close range, York potted an enemy at every
shot and did it as coOlly as If he were shooting
turkeys in his native Tennessee mountain coun-
try. His continuing fire was SO deadly that the
Huns, scared stiff, surrendered in a body and 1872
of them allowed York and the survivors Of his
little band of seven to march them over a long
trail through the woods under fire until they were
safe behind the American lines.
Born in Pail Mall, Tenn, Corporal York had
a woodsman's training, was an expert rifleman,
and had seen a few flights in his wild youth,
but he had never taken any part in those noun
tain feuds which are more frequent and deadly in
the pages Of fiction than in real life. Before he
was drafted he had turned from the "wildness"
OF his earlier youth and joined the church-the
Church of Christ called "Campbellite'/ from it's
founder, a sect opposed to war. York could have
escaped the draft as a conscientious objector, but
did not do so. Greatly troubled in mind, he search
ed the Bible and finally became convinced that
there are times when it is necessary to fight and
60 to war. Though only 81 at the time of his
great exploit, he was an elder in his church. When
urged by another elder to claim exemption he
ONCE asked: "If some teller was to come along and
bust into your house and mistreat your wife and
murder your children maybe, you'd just stand
for it? You wouldn't fight" The other elder
looked down and kind of studied a while, then
answered: "No-I believe I'd kill him" So York
went to the war, and, in the language of the street
he "sure is some fighter"

JEFFERSON ON PUBLIC OWNERSHIP

Thomas Jefferson enunciated leading .prin-
ciples which the party he founded upheld for gen.
e@rations. Democratic writer's and orators have
cited Jefferson's teachings innumerable times, but
such modern Democrats as stand for government
ownership must look elsewhere for their author
ity. Of course no political party can be expected
to found it's policies on the teachings of any one
leader Of the remote past, yet it should be of in
terest to Democrats, whatever their views in this
connection, to know that in 1903, toward the end
Of his second term, President Jefferson, as quoted
on page 1872 of his Letters and Addresses
wrote as follows:
Il received your offer of July 1st., covering the
offer of Mr.. Mcdonald of an iron mine to the pub
lie, and l thank you.- But having always OBJ
served that public works are much less advanta-
geously managed than the same are by private
hands, l have thought it better for the public to
go to the market for whatever it wants which is
to be found there; for there competition brings it
down to the minimum of value. I have no doubt
we can buy brass cannon at market cheaper than
we could make iron ones. | think it material, too,
not to abstract the high executive officers from
the functions which no body else is charged to
carry on and to employ them in experimenting
works which are going on abundantly in private
hands,"

Military Camp Sites
For Health Centres
Proposed Bill Will Provide
Five Camps for Women
Throughout Country
Menu York Tribums
Washington Bureau

NeU York Tribune
Washington Bureau
~ PTIMISM about the passage
of the bill now before Con-
gress to provide a nation
wide chain Of camp sites, equipment
and military instruction for women
was expressed by Miss Susanna
Cocroft, Of Chicago, President of
the United States Training Corps,
during a recent visit to Washing
ton. She and Mrs. George Plum
mer, the executive secretary of the
corps, testified on behalf of the bill
before the House and Senate Com
mittees on Military Affairs.
The bill, which is fostered by the
training corps, would make five
large camps in different parts of the
country available to the women of
the United States. 1t is proposed to
take over the land and camp equip
ment now being abandoned by the
government in it's rehabilitation
programme and to convert them
into health centres for American
women. The government would
supply army officers for the drills
and setting-up exercises. The bill
does not carry request for an ap-
preparation, and, according to Miss
Cocroft, the fact that no funds are
sought from the Treasury is ex-
rected to expedite the passage of
the measure.
The United States Training Corps.
organized for women war workers
during the war, became a permanent
organization after the armistice was
signed. The board of directors of
the corps includes Cary T. Gray
son, general medical director and
admiral of the navy; Surgeon Gen
eral Blue, of the United States Pub
lie Health Service; the Reverend
Samuel Fallows, Of Chicago, and
Captain f. l.. Beals, Z. S. A. On

resentative Kahn, Of California: p.
