THE AMERICAN BLUFF
.By Hapsburg Liebe of the Vigilantes.
A -United Press staff correspondent
who Is with the British armies in the
field, sends us a bit of news that
[should have the attention of every cit
daen In the United States. It ooncerns
'a. talk he had with a Prussian officer.
"The war will be over and a stag
'gering indemnity saddled .on the Unit
•ed States before she knows it," the
officer declared. "Before America
awakes, we will have starved and
whipped England and France and It
!a.ly into submission and made peace
-iwith' Russia, leaving America altfne In
„the field."
He called our belated preparations
"Bluff." "B-l-u-f-f, bluff." The army
preparations, the destroyers sent to
the submarine zone—all that and the
rest, he said, was "bluff."
This arrogant' officer is from the
Prussian Missouri, it seems. But one
can hardly laugh at him. We have
been woefully lazy in our support of
the government. We are still woefully
la*y In our support of the government.
It's up to you and me, plain every
day Americans, to show our enemies
that the United States is not bluffing
that' she means it. There are three
[great ways of doing that: First, by
Igoing pver to France to fight second,
py doing everything possible both to
conserve and swell the economic re
sources of the country third, by giv

Also it was explained that the in
structors were obliged to understand
the use of the Stokes bomb, whloh
weighs nine pounds, and whloh causes
a local but extremely efficient com
bination of earthquake and landslide.
That he has to understand the use
and management of wet guncotton, in
slabs measuring eight by ten by three
inches, and detonated by dry wafers
of the same material. That he had to
preach and practice the manner of us
ing these larger affairs in blowing up
the emplacements after a charge, and
in rolling the smaller ones into Ihe
mouths of dugouts In which Fritz fad
taken refuge, thus sending dugout and
Fritz to glory—or elsewhere—at the'
same time and by a single operation.
It was also pointed out that in
these, as in other branches of knowl
edge, that nothing can qualify a man
to teach like exhaustive experience in
that which he wishes to impart to
others.
Nothing could be done, however,
toward enabling the army to avail it
self of, this store of knowledge. Con
gress had not acted.
To the facts previously brought
forth, other facts then were added.
That,, for example, Mr. McClintock
was a thoroughly trained all-around
soldier. That he was a good rifle fehot,
that he knew and oould use—that,
moreover, he did use—the Maxim,
Colt and Lewis machine guns with
neatness and despatch—especially des
patch. That he oould read maps,
which not everyone can do. Also that
he Could read photographs taken from
aeroplanes, so siii to pick out the em
placements of machine guns and other
points .that would need particular at-
tentlon when the enemy's position was
But there was no use in talking of
these things. Congress had net acted.
It was then mentioned how some of
Mr. MoCUntoek's knowledge had been
acquired. How be and his little
friends, in their latest exploit had
walked over four hundred of shell
pitted, lead-stormed yards of no
man's land, nudied over fifty yards
more and dropped into FrlfaCs trench
es.. How Fritz thereupon skedaddled
for other trenches, three hundred and
fifty yards in the rear of the first ones,
and how his progress had been ma
terially accelerated by one of his own
machine guns, which Mr, McClintock
turned upon him with that end in
view. Then how he—Mr. McClintock
—and his friends, proceeded to take
the second Hne of trenches, and Frit?
v«ry considerable number of him
well.

Wot O!
Won't it Please Act?
By Woloott LeOlear Beard
of the Vigilantes.
There recently arrived in,
York -a husky, upstanding, college
bred young Kentuckian, wearing the
uniform of the 87 th Canadian Infan
try- He came because he wished to
offer his services as an officer under
his own flag. Nobody, apparently,
would listen to him.
New
Therefore he enllBted in his Inter
ests Senators James and Beckham of
his native state and Senator Smith, of
Arizona, with three members of the
House of Representatives thrown in
for good measure. These gentlemen
investigated, In order to ascertain why
such services were not at once accept
ed.
They found out. It was because
Congress had not acted.
It was shown that Mr. McClintock
was a qualified Instructor in bomb
throwing. That he was a graduate of
two schools carried on for education
along these lines that of Aldershot in
England and the Second Army School
in Fiance. No such schools existed in
latest exploit of his he received
twenty-two bits of shrapnel shell—
bullets and fragments of shell qaslng
—in his body, and has received the
Distinguished Service Medal which,
when he accepts his commission, is
changed upon request to the Disting
uished Service Order and this, ex
cept only for the Victoria Cross, is
about the highest military honor the
world has to offer.
Yet Mr. McCHntock's services could
not be accepted by the country of his
birth. Congress nad not acted.
Still, there was a reply—of sorts.
Mr. McClintock received from the
authorities a pamphlet entitled "How
to Become a Second Lieutenant"—
telling him to go to school in some
camp or other and learn what he Is
Infinitely more. oapable of teaching,
than nine out of ten of those who in
case would be his Instructors. To sug
gest that President Wilson should go
through a course of Instruction in or
der, to become a college freshman
1
would hardly be mpre absurd. Yet
'this pamphlet, absurd to the point of
insult,though It mieht be, this pamph
let *«fot)!ie Jiest that the authorities
could
1
the Ignited States.
It Was explained that the graduates
of this school had to become ac
quainted with the minutest details of
construction not only of twenty-seven
varieties of grenades used by the Brit
ish forces, but of the nearly^ innumer
able French, German and Austrian
varieties as well. Moreover, that the
graduate was obliged not -only to
know how to handle and throw these
grenades, but also to screw them fast
to rods and so, by firing them from
the service rifle at high angles, to
"lob" them Into the enemy's trenches.
That such a graduate had to learn,
and to teach others, how to handle
the grenades so as to get them Into
the, German trenches before they
could damage the thrower, but so
that they would explode before the
enemy could pick them up and toss
them back.
Congress had not acted.
So Mr. McClintock, unless he re
ceives some unexpected information
which would lead him to do other
wise, will return to the British service,
and we will lose him.
Now, no loyal American desires
just now unduly to criticise our gov
ernment. This is no time for indis
criminate "slams." A respeotful ques
tion, however, still is justifiable.
Mr. McCllntock's case Is by no
means an isolated one. In the Allied
Army are more than sixty thousand
Americans, nine out»of ten anxious to
come back and fight for Uncle Sam
if Uncle Sam will take them at any
thing like their proper value. In the
country Itself there are many—not by
a tenth part as many as one could
wish but still many—trained and ex
perienced officers, long past the days
of their second lleutenanthood but
still of service age, who "are ready and
anxious to join the colors. Not polit
ical grafters—officers—real ones.
But they can't Join the colors. Con
gress has not acted.
Then isn't It about time that Con
gress did act?
How about it? Say!
THE WOMEN'S PART
Patriotism as Well as Charity Be
gins at Home, Bays a
Writer.
(Prom Pictorial Review.)
Fanatical patriotism is a pitfall that
American woAen would do well to
guard against. In the first six months
of the European war, when women
rushed In, infant mortality jumped in
six months to the highest rate in
years, a well-known writer said: "Un
less drastic steps are taken to remedy
this evil, posterity will have harsh
things to say of a generation that al
lowed its women to do men's work to
the neglect of duties which nature
and the nation's Interest called upon
them to perform."
From such experiences as these
American women can learn valuable
lessons, and they must not be stam
peded by a false sense of patriotism
and shrill cries of impending disaster.
The first call on woman Is for wo
work. and In doing war service

can do.

can do better, nor neglect the
work that none but women can do.
It Is for every woman to realize that
she has definite national duty to per
form, and to consider, with Intelli
gence and deliberation, what duty Is.
Almost simultaneously with the call
to serve came the command to con
serve--* command that every woman,
no ntatter what her station or her
limitations, can obey. The problem
of the nation's food supply Is a vital
one, and the woman who helps to
solve it Is serving her country well.
Women know the cost of bringing
lives Into the world, and they know
fhe effect of the shortage of the food
supply on the health of their children,
therefore, however much sovereignty,
to them the economic aspects of the
war loom large. The home, and all
that goes with it, calls for the first
and best attention of our women, aiid
patriotism may be expressed by the
use of the diet that is best adapted tot
produce healthy Americans.
Never before, perhaps, in the his
tory of the world, has a nation so

definitely recognized its children as
one of its moat valued and cherished
assets. The children of America have
been made to feel that they, too, have
a definite part in the performance of
the national task. Youthful ambition
has been stimulated, the childish pulse
has been quickened, and finer, clean
er race must result. Enlistment of
the. nation's children means enlistment
of the nation's mothers, and no Amer
ican mother need look long for an
apportunlty to serve her country.
The nation' needs an army of men
to fight, but it also needs an army of
people to produce food, and the Boy
scouts, as well as school children
everywhere, have risen superbly to
meet the obligation that has been
placed upon them. Connecticut's stir'

A recent report shows that there are
more than 2,000,000 boys between the
ages of 15 and 18 in cities and towns
