Grasping An Idea . Many weeks elapse before an idea is fully understood and grasped by one hundred million people. If you doubt this, stop fifty persons on the street and ask them about the principles of food conservation, coal economy, and the selective draft. . . ."' ' , " ; ' ; These questions have .been before the American public for weeks. Thousands upon thousands of articles treating of various phases of these issues have been printed in the 'newspapers and magazines. Hundreds of experts and lecturers have delivered speeches on these topics. Assuredly, their Intent and scope ought to be understood. And yet, the real reason for these campaigns, the urgent necessity of universal co-operation are not understood by millions of our people. - Why? ' I-'..

Because the average person takes little interest in matters that do not directly concern him. If. we had to" go without food,; without warm clothing, without fuel, without light for a month, our personal experience would soon force an appreciation of the principles involved, but since these ordeals are lacking our interest is lukewarm. ' ' ;.- ' ' Men who come into direct contact with the people understand how long it takes for an idea to trickle through our population. Men who sell nationally advertised goods have learned through tests made in communities where they have spent thousands of dollars that a very small percentage of the population actually become acquainted with the merits of their goods, impelling them to continue their publicity work. i This is the reason back of the persistent propaganda of the government on food conservation. The people of the United States as yet have not ' fully grasped the idea. Let the government drop its work for three weeks, and we will be back in our old rut of food wasting. i The value of an ounce of butter, a scrap of meat, a spoonful of oil, and a small quantity of sugar is insignificant in our minds. We do not multiply the little we waste by the thousands who do the same thing. If we did, we would hesitate before indulging in the practice. It is difficult for a people who have been prodigal and wasteful spenders tojaelieve that the fate of the nation depends upon our food economies. We cannot force ourselves to understand the crisis. We read the appeals of our government, are temporarily impressed by the earnestness of the plea, and promise to conform with the request, but let a few weeks pass, and most of us have forgotten the pledge and slipped back into our old habits. If we want to win this war, each individual j

muit put his shoulder to the wheel We must look upon it as a special obligation resting upon each of us individually. We must apply the doctrine of personal obligation. How the Y. M. C. A. is Spending Its Money The War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., which supervises the expenditure of the money subscribed for the war work of this organization, has issued a statement showing to what purpose the money is being put. The warm praise which the men in the cantonments and military posts at home have bestowed upon the Y. M. C. Ais sufficient proof that a great work is being, accomplished to keep the home spirit alive in the fighters. The official statement, which is appended, shows the gigantic scale of the work: Serving the needs of 275.000 enlisted men in six cantonments and 16 aviation fields and receiving barracks in the Central military department is now requiring the time and energy of 42? Y. M. C. A. secretaries and volunteer workers, according to a report of the work for 1917 just issued by A. H. Lichty, executive secretary Of the National War Work Council at Chicago. A total of 98 buildings have been erected in the central department, comprising Camps Funston. Dodge. Grant, Custer, Taylor and Sherman and sixteen Other army centers. This total is now being Increased by the erection at Great Lakes Naval Training Station of six new buildings, including an administration building with offices and living quarters for the secretaries. Plans also have just been approved for the construction of two buildings in each of the big cantonments to be used as officers' clubs. New construction in the central department during the present winter will amount to $150,000. The annual report shows that the Y. M. C. A. work in this department alone costs from $175,000 to $200,000 a camps. Y. M. C. A. expenditures in the 15 middle western states amounted to 452,000. The average monthly expense ot operating Y. M. C. A. quarters for enlisted men in the cantonments is now less than $20,000 for each camp. A million sheets of letter paper are being used daily

by the soldiers and sailors of the National Army, aU of it being supplied by the Army Y. M. C. A. Orders have just been placed, it is announced, for new consignments of 15,000,000 envelopes and 24,000,000 letterheads. The purchase of stamps at single Y. M. C. A. huts by soldiers has created a business which in itself involves from $2,500 to $5,000 daily. .'

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON ,

Over Seventy Thousand Railway Men Join Colors

a uu R

From Railway Age

ECENT reports from American railroads indicate

that approximately 70,000 men have left railway service to join the colors. Inquiries addressed to

all lines, 100 miles in length or over, brought replies from 119 railroads with a combined operated mileage of 201,081, or about 77 percent of the mileage of the country. These roads reported that 54,331 officers and employes had joined the armed forces of the United States since the declaration of war, of whom 1,417 received commissions. It is not unreasonable to assume that the remaining railroads of the country have supplied the army and navy with a proportionate number of men. At the rate at which employes of the 119 lines volunteered or were drafted, the number for the remaining carriers should approximate 16,000. making the total number of railway men in army or navy service over 70,000. or nearly fiye percent of all the railroad employes in the United States. Some individual roads were exceptionally heavy contributors to hte nation's militarya and naval forces. The Pennsylvania system alone has 9,019 in the army and navy, or about one mas to every mile of line operated. The New York Central system has the next best record with 7,143 men under arms. Other roads which gave large numbers of employes to the colors are the Santa Fe lines, approximately 3,000 men; the Southern Pacific system, 2,185 men; the Union Pacific system.' 2,00; the Illinois Central system, 1,916; the Baltimore & Ohio, 1,760; the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, 1,645; the Northern Pacific, 1,638; and the Chicago & North Western, 1,573. The patriotic sacrifices of American lines compare favorably with those of neighboring road6 in Canada which have been sending large numbers of men to the trenches ever since 1914. The Canadian Pacific, alone, has supplied over 12,000 men to the Canadian overseas forces.

CONTENTED The more I see of kings, The potentates and things Like that, I feel like standing pat On what I am, Mum as a clam. I want no kingly job: I'm just a common lob W ho loves to hide t And can't abide The worry of a high-tone place And so I sing I'd rather be a deuce than king, Nobody hurls a bomb at me. - It's plain to see That I can come and I can go Just as I please, and I can know The folks I like, I roam, the pike At will, nor fear a mite, . And I have an appetite That no great king can beat. , I'm not afraid to eat. ; Nobody plans a coup Bypoisoning my soup; No envy on my side, I'm satisfied. OUR IDEA OF NO SORT OF A JOB IS BEING EDITOR OF "WHO'S WHO IN RUSSIA" FOR 1917-18. "A bomb is like a woman," writes an Irish officer on the British front in Flanders, r "You can never tell what it is going to do next." He has" been -engaged for several months in experimenting with bombs and various bomb-throwing devices. Be he is wrong. A bomb is not like a woman. . A bomb will explode when you expect it to and a woman won't. She explodes when there is no apparent reason for it The Irish officer may have experimented with bombs tor several months without learning very much, but some men have experimented with women throughout fifty years of married ;ife and have learned nothing at all. . --. '. : , MILK . -Today we are kicking about the price- of "milk. But listen to. what Judd Lewis says about it. Judd once irlid to run a cow: .

"If I had once not kept a cow, The price that milk has gone to now Would make me snort.

Two bucks a quart Y My milk cost when I kept a cow; So I will make no kick, I vow." When the Germans finally bend the line aiouv tho western front it will sua; back zift may laud in the vicinity of the Rhine. . The secretary of agriculture asks: "What IS wine?" Wine is $12 a quart. That's what it is. Right in the Champagne district, too. Ask us a hard one, Brother Houston.

train this evening down at the station at about 10 o'clock, if you care to come and look on!"

A traveler tells of a trip on a jaunting car in Ireland, where be had as a fellow passenger an ugly looking man, whom he was not sorry to leave behind at an Inn. "That was a queer looking fellow.

fat, ne remarked to the wagish driver as he proceeded on his way. "Faith, yer honor, he's as queer as he looks. He's a villian. He's done fifteen years for laving his wife with

out visible means of support." "Oh. get out, Pat! A man can't get fifteen years' penal servitude for leaving his wife without visible means of support." "Shure, and can't he. sir?" said Pat. with a twinkle in his rougish eyes. "He did, though. And, bedad,isn't it leaving your .woife - without visible means of support when you throw her out of a window on the third floor?" "What's the matter, my little microbe?" inquired the typhoid germ. "I'm utterly discouraged," replied the anthrax bacillus. "Here I am employed in the military' service of a great emperor. Even if I earn the iron cross I'm not big enough to wear it."

- WHAT DICKY SUGGESTED "Well, I think Urn decidedly tiresome," I returned. "When I ride on the top of a 'bus, I either wRrt to he alOne, or have a really congenial companion with me." "Like me?" Dicky teased, smiling at me. "Dinner ready," Katie's voicebroke In. "And here I have not even my overcoat Off. That's what comes of comforting down-hearted wives," and Dicky hurried into his room. ' The little talk with Dicky had restored my cheerfulness. We were both hungry, and we made a most excellent meal, neither of us talking much until the coffee came in. "I- have a dandy scheme for tomorrow." Dicky lighted his cigar as he spoke and stretched himself luxuriously. "What is it?" "Well. If tomorrow is like today. I have just got to get a wblff of country air. Today was like spring, and the minute anything like' spring rcmes, I am like a fish out of water until I get to the country. There's the bulliest piece of country out on Long Island about 25 miles, real brooks and woods and meadows and things like that And there's an old Inn that dates back a hundred years or more where you can get the bulliest meals you ever ate." An Appointment Remembered "We'll go to bed early tonight and get up tomorrow in time to take the S:10 train from the Pennsylvania station. That will get us out there at nine, and we'll have a long, glorious day." "Oh, Dicky, won't that be splendid? I don't know of anything In the world I would rather do. I have always wanted to live in the country ever since I left it when 1 was a little girl."

"wen, j don t know about living in

it the. year around," Dicky said dubiously. "I imagine It would be an awful bore in the Winter time. But in the summer time it is the only thing to do. i That's one thing I want to go out there for tomorrow. Perhaps we can pick up some place we would

like for the summer. "Oh, Dicky!" I repeated inanely. To live a whole-long luxuriously summer in the real country. It was too good to be true. I had had short trips to summer resorts, weeks of vacation spent at farmhouses devoted to the entertainment of summer guests, but housekeeping in a real country home it seemed like a glimpse of paradise! "ITinow you will enjoy it tomorrow," Dicky said. "By the way . amuse yourself with this for a few moments. I'm out of cigars, I find. I'll run out and get some." "This," was a box of sugared almonds, my favorite bonbon. I settled myself luxuriously in my chair to wait for Dicky's return when a sudden disquieting thought struck me. Tuesday was the day I had arranged the meeting with Mrs. Smith to discuss my leadership of the history section of her club. I could not go with Dicky after all! It is not often that I have what wo

men call "a good cry." But when I remembered that my engagement to meet Mrs. Smith was the came day that Dicky had planned such a delightful jaunt to the country, I abed- angry tears. Now he had gone for some 'cigars, and when he returned I must spoil all his pleasure. .

U. S. Agent Talked Disloyalist Into -Giving Up Prisoner GRANITE CITY, Ills., Jan. 5. The arrest of a. Mississippi River houseboat dweller, who is alleged to have made seditious utterances was accomplished by Byron Haynes, United States agent, after many difficulties. Haynes,- who after delivering his prisoner at Chester, Ills., came here today to visit relatives. Accompanied by a guide in a motor boat, Haynes made a difficult passage through the ice-clogged river to the island on which lived Harry Meetzen, 54 years of age. Meetzen submitted to arrest but the guide refused to make the return journey, declaring the engine was broken. The boat was not fitted with oars and the three settled

i down to wait for a passing craft to

tow them back to shore Two days of waiting found the three huddled in Metzen's houseboat, and with the supply of firewood running low, Haynes started out to procure fuel leaving Metzen in charge of the guide who was armed. When Haynee returned an hour later, he was met at the point of a revolver by Metzen, who

J had overpowered the guide, bound

mm wiin ropes ana inrown mm in a corner. Haynes proved au effective talwer and induced Metzen to surrender his revolver. Next day rude oars were fashioned from saplings and the return trip started. After floundering in the floating ice for several hours another boat was sighted and the three men were rescued but not before they suffered frozen ears and frost bitten feet.

Vessels Will Blow Up if Taken to Sea SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. 5. Three interned German sailing ships in the port of Calete Bueana, Chile, will blow up as soon as they are taken to sea, according to Captain Peter C. Rasmussen, captain of a steamer that has arrived here from the southern port Dynamite bombs and cartridges placed around the masts of the ships, the captain said today, would explode as soon as the masts began to w.ork in their stepping. Captain Rasmussen said he had seen the bombs and cartridges at the base of the masts and that the Germans boasted .of it
