PLEASE ANSWER.
Crown Point is way back on its Liberty Loan, and
we'd like to say this to the man down there who can buy
and won't:
You can't afford to give a thousand dollars, but you
'M ild if your child fell ill.
You can't afford a new house, but you could if it
were burned.
You can't afford a Liberty Bond, but you would lose
your child and your wife and your home and your busi
ness and your coat if the kaiser won this war, which is
precisely what would happen if every one refused to
make a little sacrifice. And the kaiser wouldn't give it
back with four and a quarter per cent interest, either.
Whom are you for?
NEWSPAPERS AND THE NATION.
What are the newspapers doin? to help win the
ar? What are they sacrificing? What are they giv
ing? The questions were a challenge which in fairness
should be answered. What are the newspapers doing to
help win the war? Well, the best of them are giving
eagerly what no money could buy. They are putting
what they conceive to be national need in the first place
and making all elsp subordinate to it.
Without the willing co-operation of the newspapers
this war could not be waged and won. Without the
ever-present service of the daily papers America would
be, like Russia, a congerie of disconnected peoples. The
newspaper is the magic which transforms a land of end
less villages and provinces, each separate from the
other and each ignorant of what the other is doing and
hoping, into a compact people of unified consciousness,
whose will and whose intelligence include all and are
exercised by all.
The newspaper is the one dominant organ of public
opinion. It is the information machine. It is the civiliz
ing cement of the nation. It is the agency which welds
dissimilar units into a homogeneous whole. If Russia
had newspapers which reached the great majority of
'he people the disintegrating process now so evident
would not be visible. It is because Russia has no com
mon consciousness that destructive divisions are pos
sible. A little more than a year ago, when Germany forced
-.r upon us, the nation had to break sharply with the
precedents and the traditions of the past. Why was it
that the American people accepted of their own free
will the selective draft? Was it not because the news
papers had day by day presented the facts which proved
ihe reasonable necessity of the measure? If the papers
of the country had not as a whole perceived the con
nection between the selective draft and success in war
is it probable that any government would have been
able to persuade the country to obey such a law?
The American people approve the war. Every state
in the Union is patriotic and loyal. There are no great
centers of discontent. What but the newspapers are
responsible for this? Of course in a larger sense the
dreadful deeds of the German nation converted the citt
sens of the United States from traditional pacifism to a
willingness to fight endlessly to make the world safe
tor free peoples. Rut why is it that America, divided
by the ocean from Germany, comprehended the Inevita
bility of war, while Russia, bounded on the west bv
Germany, was still unaware of the Teutonic purpose?
Is not the difference indicated by the presence and ab
sence of newspapers of general circulation?
What have the newspapers done to help win the
war? They have assisted the nation to quickly decide
vital issues. Had delays ensued the world uight never
have been safe for democracy. Had not America boon
able to think swiftly the right decision might never have
been reached. The newspapers contributed powerfully
to this. Yet it will bo answered in doing all of this
they were but selling their chief commodity -news.
They were performing public functions, it is argued, but
the motive was personal gain. That does not tell the
full story.
Newspapers are admittedly private business ven
tures. The publicly owned newspaper has not vet per
suaded the country of its desirability. Hut eery pri
vately owned newspaper worthy of the name has con
stantly served the country and aided in winning the war
at a cost to itself. The New York Times announced a
week or two ago that every day it was refusing ad
vertising worth several thousand dollars in order to
print war cables which cost upward of a dollar a line.
That attitude is typical of the -best of the industry
Where could it be paralleled?
Finally, the newspapers every day ghe to the gov
ernment space which could not be boimht. Every branch
of the administration fuels Tree at any time to ask the
papers to donate special position and space to its pub
licity. Food, tfmd, ships. Liberty Loans-these- ;,'nd
otlier great interests of the nation are accorded pub
licity and emphasis that could not.be obtained by money.
Editorials and news ariicles are printed generously not
because the papers hope for .the least profit therefrom
but because they are conscious of the public responsi
bility. That is a part of what the newspapers are g i ins;
for national victory. They ask no credit for it. They
court no approval, much less praise. Hut. in this time,
when some of the captious .w ho do very little feel quali
fied to play the confessor td those who have done much
more frank speaking is not amiss, declares the Chicago
Examiner.
HOW THEY SAVE AT CANTONMENTS.
Possibly the enormity of the ordinary waste of food
in connection with table and kitchen scraps has never
ben more vividly illustrated than by the projects which
are now underway in connection with the reclamation
and conservation work at our army training camps. In
all of these camps both here and abroad much attention
is being given to this important matter, but in some
instances special efforts are being made for thorough
development along certain particular lines. In connec
tion with many camps large vegetable gardens, culti
vated by soldiers, have produced remarkable results
this year, and it is proposed next year greatly to extend
this work. Large quantities of waste bread and broad
crumbs instead of being dumped into the garbage- pai!
as was formerly the universal practice, and as is still
the custom in thousands of homes, hotels, restaurants,
bakeries, etc.. throughout the country, are (fried in ovens,
to prevent them from getting moldy, and sold for chicken
feed. Cooked grease, fats and meats unsuitable as food
are also saved from the garbage pail for use in the
production of glycerine; but this is not all. for it has
been found that there is a large amount of other kinds of
waste animal and vegetable matter which can be utilized
to great advantage as pig-feed, and at least one army
camp is undertaking to conserve such food by feeding
it to swine and thus providing a supply of ham, bacon,
scrapple and sausage for the soldiers.
This may seem like carrying the idea of saving waste
to the extreme limit, but as a mater of fact it is noth
ing more than a reasonable and proper application of
conservation to every-day life. Every pound of food rep
resents a certain definite amount of human energy and
life, and to save food is to save life. Moreover, while
this saving of human life in our army camps by these
new conservation methods is great, the opportunity for
such life-saving work is not confined to such camps alone
but extends to every city, town, farm and home through
out the country. Perhaps we need to add to our al
ready long list of patriotic efforts just one more aj
campaign for the abolition of the garbage pail. '

which makes a man an enemy," says Or. Donne, "he
hath the image of the devil, infidelity towards God. per
hidiousness towards man, heresy towards God, infectious
manners towards man, and that we must always hate."
And he who loves or hopes to love a Gerniaa proclaims
himself the foe of his own land. The Germans hope
for forgiveness that is certain. They rely upon our
weakness and amiability for a complete reconciliation.
They are sure that when the war is over we shall forge t
all the atrocities which they have committed by land
and sea. This they believe because this they wish. It
is not that they repent them or that they are ready to
promise amendment. If it were to come again they would

THRIFT AND EFFICI ENCY.
The appeal made by President Wilson with reference
to the War Savings Stamp campaign need not lose any
of its fores as that campaign comes to a successful end.
It is essential from now until the close of the war, and
for all we know, for a considerable period after the
war:
"That our people everywhere pledge themselves to
the practice of thrift; to serve ti e government to their
utmost by increasing production in all fields necessary
to the winning ef the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind and to buy only those
things which are essential to individual health and ef
ficiency." Here Thrift and Efficiency saving and production
go hand in hand, as they should. Each is futile without
the other. We can go much farther than we have yet
gone in the practice of both.
