THE LAST DRIVE
The coming Victory Loan will be
th- last.
One more big job to pay for the
victory—or the immediate demands
of victory—and Liberty Loans will
be hiitory.
There must be no lagging Dy the
American people Ui the drive that
wfli come in April. It will not be
a time for excuses.
The same spirit that character
ized the last hour of fighting before
the armistice went into effect
should- be shown by the stay-at
homes for whom the Yanks fought
ia France.
Here is the official report of op
erations in those last few hours of
the war:
"The 3rd Division advanced 3
kilometers east of Brehevtlle. De
spite increased resistance by ma
chit e gun aud artillery fire the 5th
Division continued to advance, cap
turing IS prisoners, 3 large calibre
guas, t> minenwerfers and con
sitU rable material. la accordance
wlili the terms of the armistic hos
tilities on the front of the American
arrries ceased at 11 a. m."
Tne Yanks didn't shirk that last
jc >. Many gave their lives witb
peace a matter of minutes away.
EveiJ- American, at hom^ worth the
victory' wc>a by those boys in khaki
wi'l work as hard in the coming
loaa as in the first.
THE BOY IN DEMAND
Escha-i ge: Oae of the most valu
able qualities In a workman is the
ability to see what needs to be done
and does it without being told. It is
a rare thing for employes in either |
office or workshop to do things that
nee& to be done without being told,
I. e-, to do the little extra jobs.
Young men working their way
through college will be invaluable if
they cultivate this quality. Book
learning, scholastic training and
mental development generally are,
of course, valuably in any line of
business today, but thougthfulness
and taoroughness are essential all
the time and everywhere. A tool
is left out of its place, a book has
fallen to the floor, a pane of glass 13
loose, or something trivial needs at
tention. The boy wno attends to
such things habitually and instinct
ively, not becaus§ he is ordered,
but because they need attending, is
the boy who ts going to be in d«e
mand wben he goes out into the
world, ana he is the one w-hose Job
•will be safe and for wbom promo
tion will always be waiting. It is
this habit of observation, attention
to little things, that makes some
men and women exceedingly useful.
For such there will always b« a
position and a call to take the high
er job. In the coming days of re
construction and readjustment such
men need fear no competition.
BOYS NOT bftOKE
Liverpool, Eng., Feb. 4.—Amerl*
:an soldiers ordered born® Binoe

;h« money of the soldiers from
pounds to dollars, in order that

America, says:
"I have changed th« money of

Lhe beys have been sujected to the
;emptatlona of buying souvenirs for
tbe home folks in a strange coun
try and that they have been pay
In* war prices for all they bought,
It can be seen they have done
very well."
A "'HL'SH" BOAT
London, Feb. 4.—There is now
lying at Clydebank, nearly com
pletsd, a remarkable "hush" boat
o* the British navy, which, ac
cording to the shipping paper,
Fairplay, ig something notable in
th» history of naval architecture.
This is the Hood, a battle cruis
er of extraordinary size, speed aQd
eunpower and which would, says
Fairplay, "have inaugurated nevi
methods of naval fighting and
shown the Germans that we are
stil* far ahead of them in naval
construction."
The prospect of &n early termi
nation of hostilities caused work to
b© eased on this great vessel, but
la order to make room for mer
chant shipping the Hood ha^ been
nearly completed' and is now out
of the fitting basin.
Fairplay says th evessel "is un
derstood to bo th© finest combina
tion of size, epeed, gun-power and
ligat armor yet dreamed of, and
farther ahead of the present "hush
boats"—the Courageous class —
than these were of the Lion auti
TLge.\ As she lies at ClydeDank,
the Hood seems to fill all the space
whicn was at one time occupied by
the Lusitania, and a war vessel as
lon.r as the Lusitania—to say no
thiAR of her other features—is some
tain* notable in the history of na
val architecture."
ENGLISH GIVEN* IN A
SERIES OP MOVIES
London, Feb. 5.—London is eag
erly waiting to see a picture play
called "Women Who Win," for
Queen Mary is making her debut
therein as movie actress^ The film
is being prepared under the aus
piies of the Br.ti.sh Women's Serv
ice, of which Lady Frances Balfour
is president. It will be shown sim
ultaneously in England and the U"
nited States.
The queen's part in the play is
to talk to the heroLne, who Is sup
cosed to be engaged in airplane
vrjTk. She had mai« herself familiai
with the scenario and knew her role
Wei'.
The scene was set at an aircraft
exblDltion in Agricultural hall. The
orerstors began to turn the cranks
of their cameras, and the queen
moved slowly toward the spot
where the heroine was seated. She
talked- to her for several moments,
and then, still according to the
scenario, "shook her warmly by
tl a hand." But, to the dismay of
the producers, the queen then walk
ed out of the picture before the
8-*ne was finished. One of her
ladies in waiting explained the
sitJation, and with a smile the
queen completed the scene.

King George V Sends Message
To All Allied Blind Soldiers
King George V., through the Per
manent Blind Relief War Fund for
Soldiers and Sailors of the Allies, 1
hats issued a message to the sol- j
(tiers of France, Belgium, Italy and I
Ser^a, who have been blinded in
the war and who number nearly
5,000.
The message is in the form of
j»u attractive booklet printed in
Braille, or raised letters, with por
traits of Kink George and Queen
Mary embossed so that they also
can be felt with the fingers. It
reads:
TO TUB BUND SOLDIERS OF |'
THE ARMIES OF MY
ALLIES
Soldiers of the great war who |
have suffered for the cause of Hu
manity, it is 1, the King of Eng
land, who send- to you this book
lettered so that you will be able (
to read it. I am adding words of
comfort to let you know that you
are not forgotten either by me, or
'my people, any more than by your
(comrades at the froint an£< the
heads, of State of your own coun*
I tries.
All those who eutered into mis i
struggle to prevent a monstrous In
iquity and to save the free nations
of the world from the menace of an
Intolerable servitude, did so pre
pared to consent to all necessary
sacrifices rather than permit the
German Empire to achieve victor}-.
You and your comrades of the
Allied Armies offered all that you
possess**!; it was the province of
God 'o choosy what sacrifice He
would exact from each. And of
you, my friends, He asked' that
sacrifi :e which seems the hardest
of an to the young and' vigorous.
He has deprived yon of the spec
tacle cf the beauty of the earth and
of the faces that are dear to you.
The Queen and myself feel the
extent of your loss and we shall
never 'orget it
However, if there is an exhorta
tion that 2 c«n address to you in
your 0Miction it is to urge you
not ro despair. The time has gone
by when a blind man was a being
without resources. Incapable of
enjoying life or of providing for
himself. Several hundreds of our
soldiers who lost their sight in
this war have already, thanks to
their strength of soul, to their pa
tience, and to the assistance of a
1 professional education, learned to
resume the occupations in which
they were engaged before their
misfortune overtook them. They
have learned to exploit freely the
resources of their other senses that
are used so little by those who ca^i
see. It is a question of training,
but above all a question of courage,
of that same courage which for
bade you to fall back before the
enemy on the field of battle. A
great calamity has befallen you, but
if you refuse to succumb to it,
if you are determined with all
your strength to triumph over it,
the treatment of the blind during
the las* few years has approached
perfection to such a point that
your future life can be filled as
well and as usefully ag wa« your
oast existence.
There Is no one to wnom tnis
war has not brought cruel losses
tmd deep sorrow. To a great num
ber H bag brought death. But!
the day will come whe>n the war
will be ended, and' as it is a strug
gle against the mad ambitions of I
j one Power and "its Allies aud to
uphold the simple human rights of
all the rest of the world, w® can
'count upon th© final defeat of the!
j Germans. When that time shall;
have arrived the nations of Eu
f rope will be free and the rights
j which governed he relations be
' tween them will be re-established.
J If the wishes of the nations of the
'Allied' Powers are realised, the
world will be organized for per
manent peace. The small nations
of Europe will no longer pass from
hand to Hand as the spoils of con*
■ quest, but, like the people of my,
I Empire, will live faithfully attached
' to the governments that they will
> have chosen of their own free will.
I As far as is possible the old motives |
I of war will be done away with
Eforts will be made to the end that
jto any Power which counts upon
j robbing or conquering its neighbor
'will oe opposed by an alliance of
, forces so powerful and go united
that it will not dare to break the
.world's peace. Please God', our
1 children and our grandohildren Will
be able to say: "Henceforwaidj there
I will be no wars."
| Every sacrifice is painful, and a j
sacrifice BUch a$ yours is among the |
most terrible that a man ca-n bear.
But if a sacrifice ha$ been made,
it is a consolation to him who has
suffered it to know that tbe Cause
was worth while. If you, the blind
Mi and the wounded, If the dea#
iviio 'ormerly were your companions,
.f all the soldiers who have fought id
this *ar, whether vanquished or
victorious, cou.<I'by means of the Dai
ot choose some precious benefac
:ion that would compensate Hu
nanlty for the sum total of its sor
rows, this beuefaction would, I
magine, be that a*ter this one
;here shall be no mor© wftrs a
nong civilized men. And it is
vith. 'he id«a of your sufferings
w»d of those oX your comrades pro
;oundly graven in my heart, that I
(end vou not only the expression of
ny gratitude for the uerviceg you
lave rendered in. thlg great trial,
Sut also my word that th« aim
svhlch you have pursued is the aim
;o which I myself ami mj; people
lav© above, all else consecrated
