Measure of True Americanism
Gauged by Deepest Feelings
TRUE AMERICANISM
True Americanism is the outward
expression of loyalty and pa:riot"im.
To be, truly loyal and patriovfc means
inni:e!y more than to ntter icb ex
pressions, as "The American Eagle
shall soar and soar." "Old Gkry
shall never touch the ground," etc.. or
to go into fits of ecstasy when the Hag
is unfurled. Tbee are mere spas
modic outbursts of excited, agitated,
shallow patriotism.
True patriotism is that magnetic
inner feeling which directs as at ail
times to perform our duty to our .
country, according to the dictates of
our own conscience, and not thiougb
the force of public opinion, or the fear
of the law. It Is a calm, del.berate.
determination to put forth nr best
and noblest effects towards bringing
the war to a speedy conclusion. .
The American people are gradually
coming to realize the seriousness of
the present convict, yioogh ss yet,

Total of $2,000 for War Work the
Result of First Day's
Drive
Navy the First Organization to
Be 100 Per Cent Girls'
Campaign Delayed
The mercury in the huge war work
hermometer on the Armory building
took its first leap upward as the re
ports came in yesterday.
Two thousand dollars was raised
Monday with the naval unit being the
only cne to have a complete report.
That- detachment has a 100 per ceut
subscription with an overage of over
ten dollars per man. The girls' cam
paign under Katherin Kohl is just be
ginning. It having been delayed by yes
terdays holiday.
Go -Over the Top
It is essential now more th&n eier
before that this drive go "over tne ton"
with a surplus of thousands of dollars.
With the prospect of a settled peace
being decided upon more funds will
be needed to carry on this wrk in
Europe.- An idle army will demand
more recreation, such as is furnished
only by the organizations represented
in this fund. Men are going to become
disheartened now more easily than
before and it is up to the people at
home to carry this thing through like
they have carried the war through to
a 100 per tent victory.
- TlM MiKns to be carried on In
the different S. A. T. C.cCmpanies are -to
be very efficient. They are to be
led by the company commanders witn
squad leaders appointed to see the
men individually. All men are easi'y

Are Yoi-r Children Bores?

not be allowed to monopolize a guest'.,
attention. Mothers are usual) blirt !
to, their chlldrens fauits. as ls lov
ing eyes see them, and they fail to
understand that a guest's apparent 4o
purposes and personal gratification,
are proof that we are not doing our
utmost towards winning the war.
We must show our appreciation for
the efforts of the heroes at the front
by a personal denial of all unneces
sary things, in order that they may
be provided with the necessities of
life. They bare left thalr comfortably
homes and cozy firesides, their peace
ful civilian life, with all its nere
strained freedom, to fight for as on
far-distant, blood-stained battlefields,
to undergo terrible privations nd suf
ferings, even to give sp their lives
murmnrt OT protest. Their's
everywhere in France, all the time,
ample of true Americanism. We
must give them whatever aid Is possi
ble, otherwise we are not worthy of
enjoying those rights and privileges
for which they are paying to dearly.
Only by our nnited efforts in the
faithful discharge of our manifold ob
ligations to our country, can Ameri
can efficiency be attained. We must
carry our work on to completion or
