Ten Ccnh a Day

iiv Moirmnai One hundred and seventy million five hundred thousand dollars is the "sum ask d from the American people by the seven creat organizations working in cooperation for the -welfare and happiness of the men in our army and navy. With this sum these j:Kencis now arfOciated In war rervi e can can't on their preat task of brlncing- fellowship and a touch of home comfort Into th live? of thone who have left home and dear ones to llrfht for their country and the cause of democracy. At first Rlance It .seems a tremendous sum, even In thee flays of penerous plvinp. Hut considered in terms of the task confronting us and the numbers of men to be benefited, it is ridiculously ''.mall. Xext year our armed forces -will include Jn the neighborhood of live million men, and divided amonr them these millions will amount to less than ten cent each a day. Ten cents a day to brlnt? comfort and happiness to each soldier and sailor! That seems little indeed to pive. Ten cents a day for the mtn who lays his youth on the altar of his country's ned! Ten cents a day for our best and bravest who hav answered the call to defend the liberties of the world! Ten cents a day to send the sustaining advantages of wholesome fellowship and (,'Oud cheer to the boy who went so aliantly irvto that srirn but necessary business overseas! This titanic world struggle has Involved the use of such hue masses of men that the problem of looking after their welfare and morale reipiires leadership of the highest order and organization problem of the highest complexity. Our own lihtinjr forces during the months to come will comprise fully live percent of the population. These men are drawn from every branch of our citizenship, from tenement and paluial residence, from the 'desk, the '.oorn and the plow. TTiey include New Knplanders and southern boyn whose ancestors hewed out the narrow beplnnlnps of America from the hostile priemeval forest, and those citizens drawn to our land of freedom from every corner of the earth whose American traditions Are only a few jears old. Stranffc to Americans. All these diverse forces have poured into the great melting pot of the army and r:ivy, and been sent far from home into new and unaccus tomed surroundings. The prim came of war is really strancrer to Americans than to the men of other nations, because hitherto, we have had no larpre citizen armies. This fact has made all the more imperative the work of preat orpanizations to etend a friendly hand to our lighters in alien Melds so far away from home. The least the ft ay-at-homes ran do is to brlnp a touch of home comfort to the trenches. The purpose of the United war work drive is to furnish the means for that.

Catholic war council, Jewish welfare board, War Camp Community service, American library association and Salvation Army. As soon aa the boy leaves his home he is welcomed by the shelterinp arms of these agencies, not in a cold, impersonal way, but in h spirit of warm-hearted, comradely helpfulness. They minister to his wants all the way to the front line trenches and beyond, for even if a soldier Is captured ar.J in a prison camp the lonp arms of these orpanizations reach out to him through the aid of neutral aRencies. In ramp and on the line these orpanizations are on hand to meet his needs, whether he wants ciparets or a relipious service of his own faith. They give him club rooms, food, music, cloan amusement, books educational instruction. They mike him feel at home In every city, bcth here and abroad, and their huts rlte like maj?lc palaces of pood cheer ir. the wrecked villages just behind where the preat puns are poundinp their relentless messages.

It is this work, carried on by thousands of splendid men and women, who labor often amidst conditions of hardship and danpers. that keeps the army happy and spiritually fit for its ta.k. As a New York Jew ish boy, writlnp-home from France, and referrinp particularly to the cordial welcome he had received at huts maintained by the Y. M. C.

" If ten cents a day per soldier and sailor can make the boys feel this way. he would indeed be a poor citizen who would berudpe the total of $170,r00,000. It will be a matter of honor for us to po over the top and send a pood round sum in addition for pood measure. IRELAND BENEFITING FROM HER OAT CROPS PUPLIN, Oct. 19. Tho Irish farmer in the past has been in the habit of Rrowinf: excellent oats. The oats are then exported to Scotland -nnd imported back again to Ireland In the form of oatmeal for his food and of by-products as food for his cattle. The thrifty Scotsman makes a handsome profit out of it. The war promises to chanpe this very uneconomic Irish method and induce the Irish farmer to do better for himself. In many districts parin mills are heins erected in Ireland. About 70 co-operative societies have now oat mills and flour of their own. One society of Sir Horace Plunkett's organization in Kerry borrowed 2,000 pounds from the bank, started a mill and worked the grain to the' utmost extent, so that the members obtained excellent flour for their families and feedinar stun for their cattle and pigs. The result ls,tinprecedented prosperity In the district. The old great milling business of Ireland was lost to the country because the millers would not change their methods and use up-to-date machinery arid plant.

BOARD OF HEALTH

REJECTS TEMPLE BETH EL OFFER Congregation Would Convert Temple Into Concentration Hospital for Cases of Spanish Influenza. Offers of the congregation of Temple Beth-El of the i:se of the temple at Taylor st. and Lasalle av. to the city for a concentration hos pital for Influenza patients was rejected Saturday afternoon by Dr. Emil G. Freyermuth, city health officer, following a conference with members of the city board of health. The refusal of the city health authorities to accept the offfr of Temple Heth-El is based on the advicd of Dr. C. II. Mayo of the Mayo Clinic who spent Frfday night and several hours Saturday in South Hend on his way to Washington. The offer to the city was made by Rabbi Julius A. Leibert on behalf of the Temple Peth-El congregation. The offer included the use of the temple as an improvised concentration hospital where cases of inlluenza could be taken. Rabbi Leibert pointed out to the city health secretary that Influenza cases mioht be accorded better medical attention if they weie concentrated. He ur,?ed that several concentration hospitals be established throughout the city in order that the lack of physicians and nurses might be in a measure overcome. The rabbi pointed out further that th eranks of the physicians in the city have been depletc-l by many of ' hem having been called Into the army and navy service, and he expressed the belief that by concentrating these cases of influenza, better medical attention could be given them. Pres't Hansel of the board of health, however, had discussed such a plan with Pr. Mayo who lirmly opposed the. plan. The famous physician insisted that in cimps where the soldiers are concentrated, the mortality rate is much higher than where the soldiers afflicted with the disease are segregated, and urged that the health department avoid if possible the establishment of concentration hospitals. Pr. Freyermuth Saturday night issued a statement to the effect that only three new cases of influenza were reported to the health department .Saturday. "While tho situation in regard to the' influenza seems to be improved, the public appears to be under a greater nervous fctrain than it has for several days," declared Dr. Freyermuth Saturday night. "Those persons who go around greatly exaggerating the number of cases of influenza in the city cught to be muzzled," he declared. Pr. Freyermuth reiterated his order Saturday night that there will be no open air church services allowed today. He declared that he would have a policeman at the church of Rev. John Kubacki, pas tor of .St. Adelbert's parish on Olive st., to prevent a recurrance of the j last Sunday to hold open air services in defiance of the health board's orders. The health secretary further insisted that windows of homes bo kept open as much as possible, allowing as much fresh air as possible to enter the houses. Ho also emphasized his order against the burning of leaves. CHARGES MEN WITH STEALING fVIONEY AND NOTES WORTH $3,000 C. P. Hauser. proprietor of the Winsdor hotel, 602 S. Lafayette blvd., appeared Saturday morning In city court against Joseph Miller and George Smith, two strangers whom he charges with robbing him of $220 in currency and notes valued at bOO. Hauser alleges that the two men were in the ofiice of the hotel when he laid his pocketbook containing the moi:ey and notes on top of the safe, and that when his back vas turned, the two men took the pocketbook. The alleged robbers were arraigned in city court Saturday morning and their hearing was set down for Tuesday. EQUITABLE SUBSCRIBES $20,000 TO LOAN HERE The Equitable Life Assurance society of the United States has subscribed to $20.000.000 of the fourth Liberty loan bonds and approximately an equal amount through their local branches throughout the country. .South Bend's allotment of $20.000 is being purchased by the Citizens National hank of South Rend, and will be credited to IT policyholders of the Equitable society, through their IJbrty loin policy. This permits uf a live years period ; i0r liayment with life insurance pro tt.ttior. during that time C. A. Howe, district manager of! the EouitaMe, said his only regret! was that he was limited to only t2Q.OOO for his district. He could easily hae used 10 times the amount, he declared. In each instance the amount taken supplemented and increased intended subscriptions to th? loans.
