WHAT IS WORSE THANWAR? Consumption Foot Times More Deadly Than Bombs and Machine Gons. Pierre Hamp, a Prtndi medical au thority, estimate* that of the 88,000, 000 people of all ares still living la France 4,000.000 Boat die of tubercu losis. The war will have killed about 1,000,000. This means that man with all of his Inventiveness la far leas em dent than Nature aa a man killer. There have been over 400,000 new cases of consumption In franco sine* the war began. This la why, despite the number of new hospitals, there la still not suffldsat space available tm tuberculosis cases. The Question ef Psnslena. Of course first consideration la ac corded to ths ever popular wounded men. Therein lies the tragedy of the consumptive soldier. With the new cases coming In dally from the trenches the consumptives are not as helpless as the wounded mea. When discharged from the army the severely wounded are allowed a pen sion by the government The cow aumptlvea, however, receive no allow anee nnless they can prove that their lll.mss Is entirely due to their service In the army. This Is not sn essy thing to do. snd consequently comparatively few consumptives receive govern ments! ssslstsnre.

Germany's victory would mean all I bat the alarmists have said?the set buck of humanity, democracy, clvlliza Hon, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer ica, It would mean Infinitely more. If would mean our first national de feat ; and, thus, would smash our per fect record for victories?a record as old as our nation?a record that means more than the right to brag. Even as a beaten army never wholly regains Its old form?even aa a beaten ring cham pion sinks at once Into desuetude?so oar nation (its traditions of victory gone) woald suffer far worse deteriora tion than the mere fact of defeat could inflict It would mean that the man who has risked all In his country's struggle for Right could never again feel Ms former calm certainty that Right moat tri umph. Thus, the moral tone of the In dividual, as wall as of the nation, would Inevitably be lowered. This country has never embarked In a war of conquest. From 1775 to the present we have foaght for Liberty or for Union or tor the Oppreeeed?ever for aome sterling principle of right. From childhood we have been taught to believe that the high nnselflshnaaa of oar war alms has given ua the vic tory. We have seen the decay or de struction of men and natlona that have battled for dominion?a? Germany la now battling. Should we fall la thla, our mightleat war for the Right, the average t?n must loaa forever the simple Faith which has led our dear country from nothlngneaa to its prea ent eetate. For that Faith, more than for anything elae, oar sacrifice Is ? hundredfold Justified. | Your Country Calls! j ?yTTTTYTTTTTTTTTTTfTTTTTTTT Awake, American* I M?k* thin war your war. ?rtrj man muat prore Right la Might. |t meana jour liberty, If not your Itfa.
