Our Full Duty It is needless to repeat the trite saying that America has not begun to give and sacrifice. Wo have heard it dinned in our ears with monotonous regularity for many weeks. We accept the observation as a truth. If the implied criticism means that the American people as a whole are shirkers or slackers in patriotic enterprises, recent developments prove the contrary. Wayne county, at least, is awake to the situation. It has responded nobly to every appeal. It is willing to do still more. The fact is that every appeal made in the last six months has met with more willing and greater response. Look at our War Savings Stamp record and our, third Liberty Loan subscriptions. The Red Cross campaign, which begins next week, will demonstrate again that Wayne county knows the art of supporting meritorious enterprises, The work of the Red Cross, its functions and scope, are well understood. The necessity of financially supporting the society is also a matter of common knowledge. The response next week will prove that our knowledge will be translated into deeds. The allotment will be raised in town and countryside. Then Wriyne will take another hitch in its belt

and prepare for the next drive. The county has the right spirit.

1 finally of winning lies in dividing its foes. A sham peace

that left it in full control of Germany's military resources would play into its hands. But the alliance against Prussian militarism ought now to be given a more permanent and comprehensive form. That part of the world which aspires to freedom should by formal action accept the fact that fighting the Prussian menace until it is overthrown, however long that may take, and safeguarding against the appearance of any like menace in the future, is its chief business. Although the Allies have not formally announced their determination to fight, the s Prussian menace until it is completely crushed, the repeated rejection of peace overtures made by Germany is .conclusive proof that the Allies have made up their minds fully not to quit until the job is completed to their entire satisfaction. President Wilson's reply to the Pope and his utterances since, indicate very plainly that the Allies are not seeking an opportunity for an unsatisfactory peace, but intend to gain peace by force of arms. When the Kaiser announced that he would obtain peace by force, his challenge was quickly taken up by the Allies. They gave him an answer that he could not misunderstand. His feverish sacrifice of thousands of Germans tc win the channel ports and defeat the Allies before America can throw her full force into the conflict is conclusive proof that he fears the ultimate end of the war.

In the meantime, our war preparations must'

speed up to make effective militarily our promise of aid. The last six weeks have been heartening ones for us and the Allies. Our war machinery has been working in good order, and the results that have been attained have evoked not only satisfaction from the American citizens, but also praise from our allies. If this progress can be maintained We can rest assured that the Kaiser will spend many a sleepless night before he attains his object.

DINNER $ TO R I EJ . Recently " an esteemed citizen dropped into a tonsorial establishment to have his alfalfa reaped, and being somewhat weary he eoon fell asleep. For some minutes the barber made valiant attempts to proceed but fin

ally he paused and gently shook the

man in the chair.

"Excuse me. 6ir." he said, "but

would you mind coming out of your trance for a little while. I find it impossible to shave you while you are asleep."

"Impossible to shave me while I

am asleep!" responded the customer, wonderingly. "Why is it impossible?" "Because," explaine-I the barber as softly as possible, "when you fall into slumber your mouth opens so wide that I cannot find your face."

Rev. Ira Van Allen, forty-two-year-old messenger boy, who was prompted through patriotism to leave the pulpit for the Western Union Telegraph company, answered a call to a Syracuse hotel. "Are you the boy J sent for?" asked the clerk. "He was when you put in the call for a messenger," observed a guest

Our Chief Business The one task ahead of the civilized world is the overthrow of Kaiserism and militarism. There will be neither peace nor a guarantee of peace until Germany is crushed. Other considerations are minor ones in comparison with this one. The Saturday Evening Post summarizes the situation in these words: A little more than a century ago, at Waterloo, the world finished 20 years of nearly continuous fighting. We are now in the fourth year of a situation that has the essential elements of another Napoleonic era. There is no individual conqueror; but in the place of the great Corsican there are Prussian chiefs, at least as unscrupulous, controlling enormous military power which they are bent upon using to the limit for domination. The fighting must continue until they are overthrown. It is idle to speculate on how long it will take. We can only hope there will be no delusive truces and sham peaces. All that part of the world which aspires to independence and has not th point of a German bayonet against its ribs is now by way of getting thoroughly organized to resist the Prussian menace. Junkertum's only hope

Red Cross to the Rescue

Elizabeth Frazer in the Saturday Evening Post.

N ADDITION to its regular business the transporta

tion department of the Red Cross has recently taken on another service. This is the care of the wounded

in the Paris air raids. "Who gave you that job, anyhow?" someone asked the transportation chief, a young man who never knows when he has enough to do. The chief of the bureau leaned over and spoke low in the other's ear. "Nobody," said he. "I took it!" And it is a good job to take. Briefly it consists in Red Cross ambulances patroling the streets from the moment the alerte sounds, and getting the victims of the bombs, explosions and fires to the 'hospital without delay. This service has been operating for about a month, and thus far the Americans have been first upon the spot in each instance. The president of France has spoken high praise of their valor and speed. Certainly it is not pleasant to go streaking through darkened streets, with the sky full of strange fire3, the

air trembling with the thunder of explosions and the dull boom-boom of the anti-aircraft guns, and 200 kilo torpedoes the latest design hurtling through the atmosphere with incalculable velocity, tearing through ten-story buildings as if they were cardboard and smashing concrete cellars to bits. But the ambulance men say they like it!

Moment

In the apartment next door Lives an efficiency expert, And he is a wonderful guy. He admits it very readily, With or without provocation. When his typewriter breaks down He comes in and has me fix it. When his clock needed oiling He sent it to a clockmaker And paid $3 for the job. The cook quit him suddenly, And he sat down and had a good cry. He had his income tax report Made out by the janitor, Who is also a notary public; And when he eats spaghetti He cuts it up and eats it

With a spocn. . Thou art a jewel.

Efficiency

We can never believe that the kaiser is behind the plan to seat the little czarowitch In the throne of Russia, He would never let anything like that get out of his own family. Bolshevikism Isn't more than skin deep, after all. One of the whiskered officials in Russia has refused to ride in a flivver. All men will have to "wear soft collars next year. Now, If the barbers will all quit, we won't be able to tell the poets from the human beings." Some things you may take as they come, but business is one thing j ou have to go after.

By HAL POD Oh, woman, you are poor man's pet, You fool him all you can; You are the weaker vessel, yet You sure can break a man. Luke McLuke. The dough I've spent on thee, dear, heart, Has well nigh busted me. I count each buck with which I part. And there the poor house see. Hal Pod. There is one thing that I can do better than any other man in the world, and that is read my own writing.

Honored Sir: Having heard that you answer, all questions, I am writing to ask you when the war will end. Genevieve. The war will end, Genevieve, when peace is declared. A correspondent writes in to tell me that her hair is falling out and asks me what is the best thing to keep it in. My suggestion would be a cigar box. And still another correspondent writes to inquire as to when I think the Kaiser will get into Paris. He

signs his name Percival. Well, Percival, I will say that the Kaiser will get into Paris about the time hell freezes over. This is foolish question No. 34,567,257.

In line with this meatless and wheatless business, how about Jesse Willard, the fightless champion?

What's this I hear about Mexico having some trouble? Mexico, Mexico. That name sounds rather familiar. I wonder where I ever heard it before.

Sir: Would you advise me to plant kidney beans or Boston baked beans on my farm this year. Farmer. I can answer any other kind of a question, Mr. Farmer, but I don't know beans. The Connersville Examiner said: "Mr. and Mrs. Delaine have gone to Chicago where they will hear Billy Sunday s.ieak at the tabernacle, there, they will then go to French Lick, Ind., for a week's recuperationat the min

eral springs." Now that may not have been meant as a slam on Billy Sunday, but looks rather bad in black and white. Isn't it about time for the Kaiser to start looking around for a soft place
