SHAFT had attained depth of six
feet. the bottom showing a mineral

course you would If your country
wanted you; and you did, and your
country went over the top the first
day.
And then don't you recall putting
a big cloak over your house dress
and hurrying downstO read the bulle-
tin boards during the dark, dark
days in March when the Hun was
advancing in a bloody line on Paris?
Then the Third Liberty loan
and the mems committee compl-
mented the women on their work,
and again, despite the croakers
who said, "Our country won't stand
for the DRAIN" your country did
stand for it and went over the top.
Then the speeding up stories
that came from Washington. How
our own United States was doing far
more than she promised. How
many more men We had in June
than we had contracted to have.
Then the turning of the tide in
July and our pride in the American
boys as they rolled back the Hun.
Your women's committee began
the work for the fourth loan with
high hopes and beating hearts and
wealth until the government Golfers
Overflowed
Don't you remember waking up
from sound sleep and hearing a
crash and a din of whistles as of
bedlam let loose?
And you knew the armistice was
signed and the greatest war in all
history was practically over.
You couldn't grasp the fact at first
so long had you thought in terms OF
war, and then 1t began to dawn upon
you that your boy could come home
because it was over, over there
And now, all you women of Ne

why Germany asked for an armis

she knew it--against the American
men and guns, airplanes and sup

Does any woman want anythin
further than this to nerve her to

Secretary Lane
Continues Work

Although congress adjourned with
out bringing to vote the proposed
legislation which, IL enacted into
law, would have made it possible
for the department of the.inierior to
begin work Immediately on the con-
struction of soldier settlements and
provide work and homes for thous-
ands OF our returned soldiers, sailors
and marines on reclaimed land, the
fact that the bill was favorably re-
ported in both the house and senate
and the nationwide approval of the
plan as evidenced by the hundreds of
letters of endorsement received daily
by the department, have led Secre-
tary Lane to take the stand that
there is every reason to believe that
similar bill will be favorably con-
sidered at the coming special session
Of congress. He is accordingly con-
tinuing the preliminary work of
investigation as far as the limited
funds at his disposal will permit, and
is also endeavoring to ascertain for
the information of congress the atti-
tude toward the plan of as many men
in the service as he is able to reach
through the distribution of question
aires at the various camps and naval
stations throughout the country
Secretary Lane Is in thorough ac-
cord with Congressman Taylor OF
Colorado, the author of the bill intro
duced at the last session of congress
for putting the soldier-settlement
plan into effect, who said;
Il can only say to the house and
tp the country and tha Ypany
thousands of our splendid boys who
will be, sorely disappointed by this
| failure of the house to pass this bill
| or act upon this subject, that l will
reintroduce the bill on the opening
| day of the next session of congress
and push the measure with all the
energy that | possess, and ! sincerely
hope and believe that it will be
speedily enacted into law, And
also hope that instead Of the appro
priation being 800, 1000 900, it ma.
be five times that amount; because
even then we will not, in proportion
to our wealth and resources, be doinf
nearly as much for our returning sol

speaking countries. am not onl.
