"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans
HELPING TO WIN THE WAR
l$y George Atle
ARTICLE II
Aitvice to Auteriians Between die
-Vges of 0 ami 10.
Assuming that this letter is now
being read by some boy or girl old
tuough to go to school, but still
young enough to be tilled a "kid"
I by those who don't know any bet
ter) let us begin, by asking the
question, "Is it wroug to light?" j
Everj- boy or girl with civilized
parents can answer that question.
* It Is not to be answered by "yes,"
or "no."
IX we -say ("yes,'* we admit at
once that our old frieuds George
Washington and J*. S. Grant were
depraved characters, because they
(ought and then kept on fighting.
If Buffalo Bill once upon a ittue
rode out across the plains *nd
came upon a band of Indians at
tacking a settler's cabin and went
dashing up with his scouts and kill
ed a few redskins, is there 8-ny
boy In the world w ho would go
sack on Buffalo Bill and pick out
ome quiet, [ elderly real estate
i ?aler as a substitute hero?
It's too foolish, to talk about.
Suppose we say jt is not wrong
to fgiht. Then we remove all
blame from the Indians that Buf
falo Bill killed and we find our
selves so mixed up that probably we
had better back up and take a new
start.
Ia answer to the question, "Is
it wrong to fight," there can be
but one sensible reply, as follow^:
"It all depends."
Suppose a boy of 14 is walking
along the street with his sister and
the neighborhood bully swaggers
Around the corner and pushes the
boy up 'against a fence and cuffs
him alongside the J head and then
tries some insulting familiarities on
the sister, and suppose the - boy
"bo is thus humiliated and W'hose
sister Is in tears, suddenly remem
bers that he has been told to
"keep out of fights:"
What shall he do?
Retreat to an alley, or stand
up in, defense of his own self-re
spect and try to protect his sister?
Suppose he says to the bully, "I
oelleve la peace and fno matter
what you do to me, I won't strike
lack."1 |
Then he would get a few more
>uffs for good measure, and his
iister would be ashamed of him
md he would he ashamed of himse'l
md the!llttle rowdy who attacked
lim would call himself the cock of
:he walk and be a greater nuisance
han ever before.
The United States of America is
nTOlved fin hideous war because
President "Wilson and Congress and
ill persons who are warmed by red
»Jood instead of being chilled by
laifeaparilla pop had to make the
«me decision that every boy is call
»d upon tojaaie when he ij> Jump
ed UDCd by a tough, customer.
Another question (boys only):
Did.[you ever let a boy up before he
yelled •'Enough" and then have the
whole|fight over again?
II so, you might go around in
your J neighborhood and give some
valuable Information to people old
er than yourself.
If you (this is for both boys and
girls) went out into the woods ,for
a picnic with another "bunch" of
young people you knew and liked,
and ifjyour crowd had a basket of
things to eat and the, other crowd
had a basket and some toughleG
came along and stole the basket
belonging to'the other crowd, would
you give thera somtheing to eat
out [of your basket,, or let them
e't over by themselves, hungry and
miserable, and1 watch you stuff your*
selves?
You'd play fair, of course, even
if you had to go a little hungry.
Mr. Hoover is now asking [every
boy and girl in Ameica to play
fair and divide uo with the ' hun
gry youngsters of France and Bel
gium and Great Britain.
There isn't [enough food in the
world to go around it we are sel
fish and claim more than our share.
How can a boy or girl under
high-school age really help to win
thejwar?
First join the Junior Red Cross.
Then keep on saying, "I know
Uncle | Sam is right and I will i>u11
tor him until he wins." j
Believejwhat you say.
Root for the U. 3. A. as 'you
would root for your baseball
nine or your basketball five. |
Stand out on the edge of the side
walk and cheer the soldiers as they
swing by.
If you get a chance to hold yarft
for a Red Cross knitter, do your
"bit,'! and say to yourself, when
your arms begin to get tired: "I
am helping on a pair of socks, and
these socks will keep a soldier
warm and prevent him from being
ill or discouraged. When the time
comes j for him to fight he will be
in better condition and more willing
to fight because he had these warm
socks to wear. He will climb over
the ton of a trench and help to
chase the Germans back to where
they belong. There will be a great
victory, and I will share in it be
cause I held the yarn that knit the
socks that warmed tl|? feet that
carried the man that chased the
German that obeyed a Kaiser that
has to be licked before the world
can go back to housekeeping." |
Probably the children to whom
we are now talking are better post
ed regarding United States j his
tory than are some of the people
who talk about it.
The children have got the Declar
ation ;of Independence and the
Emancipation Proclamation freshly
in mind and know what they were
about and why.
They know that this country ij
dead set against slavery, either of
the old-fashioned kind of chains
and shackles, or the modern sugar
coated German variety. j
They know that our boys now in
the training camps or on their ,way
to France are getting ready to fight
against the oppression of a cruel
despot, just as some other Am
erican boys ouce fought at Bunker
Hill. |
By the way, if you can find a
rnau or woman who does not under
stand how the rights of a demo
cracy j are to be preserved when:
kings go on the rampage, you might
loan this ignorant person your I
school history. Mark the pages re
lating ; to the Boston Tea party, the
Liberty Bell, Lexington, Valley
Forge and Yorktojvn.
See if you can find any favorable
mention of the pacifists of 1776.'
CANADA WOULD EAT
GRAIN, NOT DRINK IT
Ottawa, Oct. 17.—The output of
beer iu Canada may. suffer. The
use ( f grain j for the manufacture
of beer may be prohibited. This
is one outgrowth of the recent con
servation movement. The going into
effect of prohibition in British Col
umbia the first of this month cuts
off a heavy consumption of food
stuffs for liquors. The Ontario offi
cials report the dry law there has
be»u a great success in cutting
down consumption of foodstuffs as
well as in reducing crime.
ENGAGEMENT AXNOUNCED
Chichagof, Oct. 18.—Mr. and
Mrs. F. Callaghan of this | place
announce |th« engagement of their
daughter, Miss Agatha, to Mr. John
C. Blanchard, of the staff of the
