ed each week any questions that for

Altho rehabilitation il almost en-
tirely over, there is apparently great
need for service Of this kind. The
government Bureaus at Washington
are smothered with work. They have
50 many problems to solve that 1t ia
only when the fullest information II
given regarding q particular case
that they are able to locate ths

This only adds to the confusion among
the government bureaus and is not
conductive to the most efficient SER
vice on their part.

Bureau of War Risk Insurance, has
requested the Red Cross to act as q

thus far returned home have been
heroic, noted glorious or far famed,
SO that it isn't too much to claim that
the Seventy ninth is gallant).
Earned Symbol Of Triumph
In this way the Seventy ninth Divi-
sion will bring home the concrete sym
Dol of triumph, which it earned in al
most two months of hard fighting over
the hilly, war wasted lands of French
Lorraine, on both sides Of the Meuse
The cross is symbol of triumph as
well known in France as the fleur de lis
or Joan of Arc, and-here Is something
that has been omitted from every off =

nia-the colors are blue, for the boys
of the Seventy ninth whose blood came
from the Union, and gray, for the boys
| of the Seventy ninth whose blood came
from the Confederacy.
There is n sort of myth among the
"doughboys" that the cross is a deco
ration conferred on the division by the
French Government. That is not how it
originated. Here is the story:
One day shortly after the armistice,
Lieutenant Colonel J. II. Steinman, Of

went to Bar e-Duc, where the Lor

a little Lorraine cross pendant as a
souvenir and brought it back to head

vision should adopt, and from this sug
gestion the design was made.

WE MUST NOT FAIL NOW

This nation has launched its campaign for the Fifth and last
loan known as the Victory Loan.
Heretofore they were known a Liberty Loans, but since the
last one, the American Boys-Soldiers, Marines and Sailors COM
pined under great leaderhip-have won their victory. and it was
achleVed because America does things on a big scale.
Inc morale OF the American troops was at it's highest point be.
cause there was united citizenship at home, pledging their al. if need
De, for success. The enemy realized the spirit that prevailed in Amer.
lea, the gigantic tasks that seemed but mere triflings once America
was aroused, and this had much to do with ultimate victory.
The America of Washington and of Lincoln was the san Amer.
Yea, except that 1T was unified as no other nation ever was. There
vas a blending of the flower of all nations into an American citizen
ship nnequalled in the history of the world. And we won that war
1t took money and great resources but it saved lives. We incurred
great debts, but all the debts that America incurred can be wiped
out While a slowing up of the war program on the part of this ma
ton would have spurred the enemy ON to greater activity and the
loss of additional lives.
30 IN tins Victory Loan campaign, we should feel a pride in sub
seribrng, for 1t is our part of the great obligation to America and to
the world. Those who could not go, should feel it a privilege to
subscribe now, thus performing in a limited way, a service to Uncle
Sam.
1t is no time to bubble over how the money was spent. Suffice
1T to say that the great victory overshadows everything else. Mis-
takes? Yes, no doubt there We're lots of them, but they fade into
lnsigniieance IS compared with our achievements. America was
lever trained for war; we did it Cover night We defeated powers
that had prepared for forty years for this great world war, and we
Gid it without any hope of reward other than that which comes from
a feeling down deep in the heart of every true American, that we
did our duty.
Shall we now be less loyal with our money than American Sol
diers, Sailors and Marines were with their lives? That is the all i'm
portant question.
