"Long May It Wave."
As the American army increases in
size the chance, for a German victory
decreases.
H w. s. s.
Wonder what the Kaiser thinks of
"thatj contemptible little American
army" by now?
W. S. S.
"On to Berlin," is the battle cry oi
the allies, and here's hoping nothing
will stop them until they enter that
accursed city.
y g
"Our Flag is Still There," and wav
ing in all her glory in the front ranks
of the allies, and to the dread and
fear of the unholy Hun who sees it.
w. s.
The good work of the allies goes
on in France, and up to the hour oi
going to press allied armies are still
advancing. The resistance of the
Germans is stiffening somewhat, but
thev are still retreating.
W. S. S.
The American people have put
their trust in the Lord, and He wil
not ' deny them victory. "Trust ir

still as true today as when utteret
during the revolutionary days.
w. s. s.
A German prisoner captured by th
American troops when asked wha
the. Germans thought of the Ameri
cans said they hadiieard there werf
a ' million Americans on the fighting
line, but from the way in which thej
fought they thought there were full
ten millions of them.
w. s. s.
"While we regret his loss yet his
mother and I are glad that he had his
chance to show what was in him.'
Such is the way in which Theodore
Roosevelt and his wife look upon th(
loss of their baby, Quentin. Spokei
like the true and brave America
parents that they are. Their word;
should be studied by the parents o
all who have children "over 4herer
and may we all show the same cour
age if compelled to undergo the same
trial.
w. s. s.
Thursday's papers tell us that no
a single American army officer is in
volved in the recent rain coat scandal
As Rev. Griffith remarked in his tall
to the departing soldiers at Tryon
Wednesday, "The American army i
the cleanest lot of fellows under th
sun." Commanded by that grat re
liglous soldier and humanitarian
Pershing backed by the greates
Christian nation, on earth, how can ii
be otherwise?
w. s. s
One of the prettiest tributes W(
have ever read was the editorial ir
the Asheville Citizen a few days ago
touching upon the death of Quentin
Roosevelt. However we may fail tc
agree with Theodore Roosevelt, yet
none can doubt his Americanism or
loyalty. With four sons in the ser
vice and himself a bitterly disap
pointed man because he could not go,
it stands to reason that his love for
America is genuine.
w. s. s
The marksmanshirj of the Ameri
can troops has been the wonder of
the lighting, and the British and
French look upon their workinamaze
ment, while the Germans look
upon their work in dread.
The idea of 'a soldier beincr able to km
an object no larger than a man at a
instance ot l,UUU yards seems to be
unDelieveable to the British -and
trench, as well as -the Germans
That is no great feat for boys who
have been trained to shoot squirrels
in the eyes with an old-fashioned
long-barreled rifle.
w. s. s.
To Col. Theodors Roosevelt Tkr
sympathy "of the entire American na
tion goes out to you and your noble
wife in this, your time of sadness and
bereavement. Those who do not un
derstand you and do not agree with
you have nothing but the deepest re
gret and words of sympathy, while
those -who do know and admire you,
think more of you today than ever
before. To them your action and
words were nothing more than were
expected. May God in His wisdom,
help you and your noble heroic wife
sto bear up under your burden know
ing that He does everything for the

L TO ALL
PATRIOTIGWOMEN
Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr.,
(Formerly Mrs. Grover Cleve

Nation to Stand Firm.
MWe can win if America can be held
steadfast and unswerving, and the wb
'men of America can hold her stead
, fast. Against all
3 i-Amnfnfinno f nfm
promise the women
of America should
stand firm and
united," says Mrs.
Thomas J. Preston,
Jr. (formerly Mrs.
Grover Cleveland),
in a message to the
women of America,
made public
through the Na
tional Security
League.
Mrs, Preston 18
Mrs. T.J. Piston, J r.Uy League WQrk
She was the first woman to become a
member of the League's National Ex
ecutive Committee, and Is secretary of
the League's Committee on Patriotism
Through Education.
Mrs. Preston's message to the wo
men of the country reads in full:
"Proclaim Liberty."
"'Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL
THE LAND unto all the inhabitants
thereof.'
"These words were written about
1490 years before Christ, as part of
the Law of Holiness in the Book of
Leviticus. Our fathers Inscribed them
upon the Liberty Bell which called our
mighty nation into life.
"Today 'all the inhabitants' enjoy
liberty, the Jew and the Gentile, the
rich and the poor, the native and the
alien-born, the weak and the strong.
The old Liberty Bell is silent, for its
voice has been heard 'throughout all
the land.'
"But Liberty is not safe. It is men
aced along the battle fronts of many
nations, our own among them, and
America requires a new motto for her
old Bell: 'Proclaim liberty through
out ALL LANDS unto all the inhab
itants thereof.' UntU Hberty Is safe
in all lands, it can not be safe in our
wn. Hence the task to which Amer
ica has reverently and unselfishly ded
icated herself.
"Make Motto Real."
"The Fathers of this Republic, men
of many races, with a common love of
liberty, wrought into law our ancient
motto, thus giving liberty a chance to
enlighten the world.
"Today we, their descendents, are
called upon to make real the new
motto, and thus to give liberty the
undisputed right to bless the world.
"This can be done but only after
heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A
premature peace would mean failure.
ItSvould be only less disastrous than
complete defeat. Against all tempta
tions to compromise the women of
America should stand firm and united.
'Peace and Safety."
"Victory means peace and safety
for our children; defeat means hu
miliation and practical servitude .for
them; while a negotiated peace, with
the military machine of Prussia un
broken, means that everything in their
lives must be subordinated to the task
of preparing for another .war with
Germany. We can wm now if Amer
ica can be held steadfast and un
swerving, and the women of America
can hold her steadfast."

The Antediluvian Teacher
The one thing superintendents, prin
cipals and teachers In some schools
hate worse than physical education in
having parents coming around with
grievances or complaints against me
dieval methods. The writer is a pa-,
rent and a doctor and he recently
found it necessary to call on the public,
school principal to learn why no re
cesses were given the children no
outdoor recesses. On the day of this
particular visit the weather was ideal,
though a bit cold. But the ground
was still damp from previous rains.
t was Immediately afteY noon inter
mission, and all the school children
had played about the yard in the
noon hour while waiting for the bell
to ring.
Thfi nrineinal of the school in Ques
tion is a tvnical mollycoddle. Alwavi
has some slight cough or "cold" and
always nursing it. He was a bit flab
bergasted at the suddenness and ve
hemence of our inquiry. He finally ex
plained that there had been no re
cesses for some weeks back because
of bad weather. "Had we allowed a
recess this forenoon, for instance,
many of the children would have got.
ton their feet wet in the yard and
probably their parents would have
complained to, us about it." The same
parents, you see, would have no pos
sible objection to the children getting
their feet wet at the noon hour. This
was carefully pointed out to the prin
cipal. He was also advised that the
school board rules called for outdoor
recess morning and afternoon when
the weather was suitable, and that1 un
less this recess was regularly given It
would be our painful duty to bring a
complaint against the principal, in the
Interest of the health of the children.
No recesses were given for another

ek of fine weather. So we took the
mltter to the superintendent of
scfiools, who, being a fairly human be
i Afr. immediately recognized the pro
priety of the complaint and censured
thl principal in question for his bad
stewardship. After that, recess be
cpne a living institution in that school.
jijUl this trouble is worth while, if a
pbent values the health of his chil
dren. So-called "colds," sore throat,
toftsilitis. adenoids, enlarged tonsils,
aslweli as anemia, nervousness, bed
witting, chorea (St. Vitus' dance), and
mny other conditions of school chil
dren are certainly invited by prolong
ed .confinement in the warm atmos
phere and the strict discipline of the
average Schoolroom. It is up to the
parents to see that a regular fifteen
minutes of recreation, exercise and re
lease from restraint so hard for the
child's naturally active nervous sys-
.1 are lonncommg in every scjuui,
! anil to protest promptly and vigorous-
jly when an antediluvian teacher es-
s&ifs to repeal this ancient, wife and
i4cfispensable provision for the physi
cal welfare of the child.
