"America For Americans"
HELl'INU TO WIN THE WAR
•By Ueorge Ade.
ARTICLE 1.

Cau a mera child be or service
to his of her country while we are
tryjug to make the Kaiser behave?
Undoubtedly,
How?
By observing the conduct of weaki
kneed, Hysterical, and complaining
adults and then being just as differ
eut fnm. them as possible.
This war is neither a joke nor a
protracted funeral.
You will notice that some of the
older people refuse to accept it as
a fact, while others move about in
a blue funk, exclaiming, between
sobs, that the U. S. A. is going to
tee bo#-wows.
I.et the very young children set
their elders a good example by re
maining calm but determined.
if you pick up the morning paper
and read that the l'-boatj bagged
17 ships instead of the customary
li aud the Canadians captured only
one line of trenches instead of two
do uot shake your head and declare
that the Germans never can be
licked.
Set a good example to your fath
ers and mother* aud uncles and
auuts by renewing your faith daily,
In spite of an. occasional setback.
Quote to them the words of Abra
ham Lincoln: "Let us have faith
that right makes might and in that
faith let us, to the eud, dare to
do our duty."
You might remind your grown-up
relatives that all during the Civil
War the Northern States harbored a
good many well-meaning people who
weut about moaning that the Un
ion never could be preserved and
we had better accept peace at any
price.
These invertebrates (an inverte
brate, children, is a creature with,
a string ol macaroni where the
t>ackbon$ should be)—these spine
less ones were willing to let cer
tain State^ secede. The blacks
were to remain in slavery. Our
Hag wis to be lowered. Anything
to avoid a fight to a finish.
Even after the Battle of Gettys
burg, when the fortunes of war be
gan to favor the North, just as
they are now favoring the A llieu,
every community had to put up with
a fe* of the whinera and fault-find- I
era who belittle each victory and
magnified ©ach. reverse
Your grandmother can tell you j
about tk«»e lovers who helped to,
prolong the war by failing to give i
united and loyal support to the
soldier' at the front. If it should I
happen that grandfather was one
of theue "peace-at-any-price" ad
vocates, doubtless he will change.
the iubject and tali about some
thing else.
! Even if yuo are less than six
£e»r? of age4 surely £ou can under
stand that the i&jues involved in
thiB dreadful War Jnust be set
tled and settled right bofore the
world may hope for abiding peace.
Therefore, if anyone aska you
what you think about the war, re
ply as follows:
"President Wilson was right when
he said the world mu^t he made
safe for democracy. The Ameri
can people have 110 desire to de
stroy Germany or prevent it from
regaining commercial importance.
They want Germany to i-estore the
stolen property and go home in a
chastened mood. They want to
jam the knowledge into every close
cropped Prussian head that juht be
cause a man owns a high-priced au
tomatic gun and ha^ a lot or am
munition and a college education he
has no right to go out and shoot
up Jiis neighbors. The American
peopie are hoping to make it clear
to the Kaiser and the Crown Prince
and th« various squar-jawed Hind
enburgs that it is highly improper
to form a parnership with God as
a silent partner. As to the final
outcome, the Battle of the Slarne
was the beginning of the end. For
200 years all the big events of his
tory have marked an irrestible ad
vance toward the establishment of
democracy. When the Germans
failed in their mad rush of 1914,
it meant that an All-Wise Provi
dence and the laws of evolution
were not to be thwarted by a mili
tary despot with a bristling mus
tache. Germany can not win and
therefore Germany must lose, she
end of bloodshed and sacrifice and
widespread terror will come as
socji as the United States of Am
erica begins to strike aggressive
blows. The more men we send to
the front, the fewer we will lose.
Our greatest enemy at present is
Indecision. Our strongest ally is
Speed. Our mo6t needful watchwoal
Faith. We aie going to end the
war and then sit at the council ta
ble to repress greed and curb in
justice."
Or course, the foregoing will
sound rather hifaluting to come
from a six-year-old child, but it
will be the truth, and the truth is
needed in largo doses at present, eljr
pecially by people more than sii
years of age.
That will be all for today, chil
dren. You may run along and play.
DOLLY SUFFERS;
UNCLE PROFITS
"Many hands make light work"
and it surely was UGHT work that
the many little hands were making
»h^n a man trim the Alaskan office
happened by the Red Cross rooms
yesterday where some score or
more little Amrican patriots were
busily engaged in making fluffy
pillows which are intended for use
by the Red. Cross nurses in caring
for the wounded soldiers in France
t These little las.ies were a'l cut
ting narrow strips of clean white
cloth into tiny squares, and then
unraveling each bit until nothing
but a heap of the finest and whit
est and cleanest lint remained. The»e
heaps wre put into little pillow
«liP3 and daintily tied shut. Then
a seam was sewed longitudinally
through the center, making a fluffy
puff with a valley in the center.
Say, you grown ups, you great big
stiong men, remember these ardent
little workers. Remember that they
go direct from their lessons to
the Red Cross rooms without first
running home for the proverbial
piece of bread and jam. Stop and
think what a lot of joy you would
tvke out of sending a trifling box
of goodies to the rooms for a little
four o'clock lunch. Do your bit,
and better still, just happen around
and see with what earnest zeal,
and glowing pride each one of
thebe Skagway jewles is Doing Her
Bit, and also remember that while
these little girls are working for
Uncle Sam, dolly's fall sewing is
being sadly neglected.
HAWiUN ISLANDS LONG
OX STAI'LK FOODSTl'FR)
Honolulu, — If Hawaii were to
be shut off tomorrow from the
outside world there would be staple
foodstuffs on band to last the 250,
000 inhabitants of the territory
about 109 days.
The principal island grown food
stuffs are pineapple, sugar, taro
beans, peas, potatoes and bananas,
.but outside of the first two not
raised la sufficient quantities to
supply all the needs of the island
ers. Fisn abound in the surround
ing waters, and though the islands
might be discommoded they would
not starve if isolated.

Deafness Cannot i3e Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
tho diseased portion of the ear. There It
only one way to cure deufness. and that It
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or Imperfect hearing:, and when It Is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result. an4
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this lube restored to Its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which Is notMng but nn Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Curs.
