And now the boys are coming
home. We saw them yesterday
on the streets with their sweet

saw them in the uniform of the
army and we saw them in the
suits of the navy. Our boys who
have drilled and waited in the
camps over here and come home
bearing the stings of disappoint-
ment, that they were not so for
tunate as others.
We should be very considerate
to our boys who answered the
call to the colors and were left
waiting in the environments.
Youth is very keen to feel the
lost adventure.
AS we gather about the lad
who heard the German cannons
roar and felt the sting OF gas and
shell we are apt to forget that
figure that stands on the edge OF
the crowd and inwardlv curses
the luck that left him marking
time at home. Don't you ever
forget that he, too, was ready
and that it was not his fault
that he had no chance to go over
the top.-Manitowoc Pilot.

Discontinuance of Knitting.

Cease knitting" is the latest
instructions from National Head
quarters. Knitting garments
actually started are to be com
pleted as rapidly as possible. All
articles made available within
the next few weeks can be used
to provide effective relief during
the present winter.
The Department of Foreign Re-
lief will utilize the supply as
signed to them either for ship
ment to France for use by the
men there, or for delivery to our
foreign commissions for use in
civilian relief work.
1t should be gratifying to the
women of America that their
tireless fingers have added ma

country's defenders, especially
during the period following the

forces. Practically every man
that went overseas, as well as

Plenty Camoufage.

1t must be remembered by the
average American that the war
with the German propaganda
is far from being over. In fact
there is more propaganda now
starting up in the United States
which, if let 60 on, will do more
harm than can be estimated, and
it should be summarily dealt
with before it assumes alarming
proportions. Right in our home
community there is plenty prop
uganda being spread by that
class of pro-Germans and luke
warm, traitorous Americans,
who should be hung up to the
first telephone pole as an object
lesson to the man or woman
who is preaching sabotage. The
war isn't over and the sooner
the citizen realizes that his duties
to his country has not ended,
but just begun, just that soon
will the traitors to the United
States learn that there is no
place for them in this country
which has given them susten-
ance. Send them back where
they came from. Loyalty to the
country and the boys who made
the supreme sacrifice is absolute
ly necessary at this and all times
to come.
