0, Almighty Lord God, Who neither slumberest nor
sleepest, and without Whom the watchman waketh but in vain.
Protect and assist we beseech Thee, all those who at home or
abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this Nation;
that they, being armed by Thy defense, may be preserved ever
more, in all perils; and being filled with wisdom, and girded
with strength, may do their duty to Thy honor and glory, in
Whom alone we trust ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Spain attributes the scourge of influenza from which it has been
! suffering to germs carried in the air from the battle-fields of France.
Now Germany is suffering from the same malady. The Spanish ex
planation may or may not be correct, but it seems probable.
i Maurus Jokai, the Hungarian novelist, says in his story,
"Timar's Two Worlds:" "From China we received scarlet fever,
from the Saracens small-pox, from Kussia influenza, from South
America yellow fever and from the Hindus cholera. But the plague
comes from Turkey."
Accepting these statements as correct, there is at least a poetical
justice in Germany's now receiving among other things from Russia
her latest gift, influenza.

NO COMPROMISE
THERE CAN BE BUT ONE ISSUE; THE SETTLEMENT
MUST BE FINAL. THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE. NO
HALFWAY DECISION WOULD BE TOLERABLE. NO HALF
WAY DECISION IS CONCEIVABLE. From President Wilson's
Mount Vernon address.
AMERICAN BOYS, HELLO
Oh, we love all the French, and we speak in French,
As along through France we go.
But the moments to us that are keen and sweet
Are the ones when our khaki hoys we meet,
Stalwart and handsome and trim and neat,
And we call to them. "Boys, hello!
Hello! American hoys,
Luck to you and life's best joys.
American boys, hello!"
We couldn't do that if we were at home
It would never do, you know !
For there you must wait till you know who's who,
And to meet in the way that nice folks do.
Though you new his name and your name he knew, .
You never would say, "Hello! Hello! American boy,"
But here it's just a joy
As we pass along in the stranger throng, to call out, "Boys, hello!"
For each is a brother away from home,
And this we are sure is so,
There's a lonesome spot ,in his heart somewhere,
And we want him to feel there are friends right there
In this foreign land, and so we dare
To call out, "Boys hello!
Hello! American boys!
Lucks to you and life's best joys!
American boys, hello!"
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

WEAR OLD SHOES LONGER, IS NEW PLEA OF PATRIOTISM
Have your old shoes half-soled and keep on wearing them.
That's to be the next appeal of the War Industries Board to the
eountry. It has had a committee of shoe and boot makers in consultation-regarding
standardized shoes, less frills and less long leath
er tops for the ladies. But in addition to this, it wants the country
to wear its shoes longer, and to resole them as long as the leather on
the uppers is good. The eountry needs the leather.

A PRETTY MUCH PENNY WISE RULE
ANNOUNCEMENTS
In aeeordanee with an order issued by one Thomas E. Donnel
ley, chief of the Pulp and Paper Section, "War Industries Board,
"Washington, D. C, the Appeal after this date will be compelled to
cut off all its exchanges, and we presume all of the exchanges will
cut the Appeal off their lists.
Mr. Donnelley gives as his reason the following paragraph in a
circular letter sent out July 5th:
"On account of the shortage of materials the question of the
supply of paper is becoming acute and the use of. paper must be
economized to the greatest possible extent."
To pass up comment on the euphoneous construction of the
paragraph and to get at its meat it is about as far-fetched argument
as could be imagined when it is understood and taken into consid
eration that the newspapers, or most of them, since the arrival of
the print paper famine have done their utmost in the interest of
economy. On the other hand, it has been the government, which Mr.
Donnelley is presumed to represent, that has defied the law of econ
omy and been most extravagant and wasteful in its use of paper.
And here is proof: In one recent week, when track was kept
of the matter, the Appeal received just four pounds of "publicity
mail" from the different departments at Washington. As there are
not less than 25,000 newspapers in the United States of approxi
mately the same status as this one, it can be safely assumed that
100,000 pounds of similar mail was sent to these papers. In four
weeks if the ratio were kept up, and it has increased rather than
diminished, 400,000 pounds or 200 tons of paper were sent out, but
the most startling fact of all is that 95 per cent of that mail is never
opened, but almost immediately on arrival is invariably brushed into
a waste basket and thence into stove or furnace.
This is not because there are not items of interest in the mail,
but because to go through it, it is so bulky and long-winded,
it would require the services of additional help, something papers
can neither afford nor get these days, to sort the grain from the chaff.
Probably when all is told the government is wasting more paper than
newspapers consume in the practice of exchange.
Then there is another side to Mr. Donnelley 's order and that is
that it invites duplicity on the part of newspapers if they are so in
clined, in that the order is very easily evaded, as the following will
show : ,
A and B are owners of papers in adjacent towns. They essay to
obey Mr. Donnelley 's order, so A says to B "you put my paper on
your subscription list and I will send you a check for $6 for a year's
subscription; then you send me a check for your subscription and
that evens the thing up." Two checks are therefore made out, a
couple of sheets of paper and envalopes are used in the necessary
correspondence and two 3-cent stamps are bought and cancelled to
carry the letters through the mail. And this in the case of from ten
to fifteen thousand publications. "Will some one kindly compute how
much paper was used in the transaction and the cost of postage!
Great economy, isn't it?
Mr. Donnelley is probably one of the $1 a year men the govern
ment has secured, and judging from the manner he has taken hold
of the newspaper proposition it is about all he is worth.
