'OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
Hkl.l'ivc TO WIN THE WAR
By Ueurge Aile
ARTICLE HI
<lvice to Americans Betivwn the
Ag»*s of 16 ami St.
Thu is a letter to the fortunate
ou«s who, 10 years from now, will be
enjoying the benefits of what all fu
ture will call the Great War.
You i the girls of sweet sixteen
and slightly upward and the boy'„
who are getting ready to vote) will
know more about this war when
you are plump and middle-aged
than any oue can possibly know this
year.
When the dust has cleared away
and the large events of the war
can. be- Been from a distance then
you will underotaud that the issues
Involved had to be fought out.
tha^ths United States had to take
part, that the task we are now un
dertaking had to b<? accomplished.
Let u• hope that each of you can
say, 20 years from now, "I wat,
young at the time but i knew what
the war meant, and 1 helped."
N'ot all of the heroes are in the
aches. , J,
i & prove mat urave meu rcumju
. home, here am I, a case-harden
,ric» to young women, every one of
eU bachelor, venturing to give ad
whom knows all about the war, or
least, about one young man who
has marched out to win the war.
No need to tell them to kuit.
They are knitting.
Why whisper to them to beware
or "slackers." The poor "slack
er' 'already has felt the scorn of
their glances.
Perhaps some hints may be tabu
lated la the methodical style so
dear to professors.
Efficiency of Sohlier* At The
KVont ami In TUs Tr»iidi^ Camps
Vpemlejit Upon:
(a) Physical welfare, resulting
rom comfortable garments and bon
ib'e attentions, provided by young
vomen, between t&e ages of 16 and
:i. | I
tb) Mental calm, Induced by the
LOwl«dge that all the girls at home
ill postpone definite arrangements
ntil the soldiers come back.
lc) Spiritual exaltation, encourag
d by the occasional receipt of let
ji*4 from young ladies between the
ges of 16 and 21. |
Fjot the above analysis it
ecomes evident that the success
il prosecution, of the war is not
^pendent upon the President and
ablnet, orjeven upon the Council
; National Defense, but upon Flora
lsie and Agn«3 and Jessie.)
Don't let anyone tell you that wa
strictly a business proposition.
Wa can't win the war unless the
jids play and the girls wave their
indkerchiefs. Every selected man
lojstarts to Franco must see him
lf as the hero of the play [who
>P8 in between the villian and
e persecuted heroine and Btrikes
» Tjr^U of the §arth4 saving "Tak*
that! lake that!" tUid theu bows
to the applauding multitude, (
The French weep a little tuid kiss
one another j on each cheek and Bins
the "Marseillaise" and thea they
are ready to capture soniejUiore
trenches.
Repressed emotions sometimes
turn sour. Don't be ashamed j to
let your enthusiasm float publicly
to the breeze.
You never saw a football team
advance the ball unless It was get
ting encouragement from the girls
on the side lines.
Now for the boys.
Perhaps you have heard about the
Working Reserve.
It has been carefully organized
under government supervision. It haa
received the official indorsement
of jtfc© President. The whole plan
is working out successfully where
ever it is understood.
The trouble is that some of the
boys and some of the parents are
still a little doubtfuljregarding en
listment, because they don't know
how much of an obligation is as
sumeyd.
Here is the plan in a nut shell:
Thousands of enlisted and selected
men have gone to the training
cainps. It may be that thousands
more will go next year. These men
are being called from factories and
workshox>s and farms. Everye fac
tory and every farm must continue
production if we are to rendor full
service to our faithful allies during
the war. How can we fill the plac
es of the young men who have gone
away to fight? We must rely up
on the boys who are old euough
and hUjkjr enough to work, but
who are still young for mliitarv
service.
So here is a trumpet call for an
city; boys ami town boys between
the ages of 16 and 21.
Prove your patriotism and help
your country by jumping in and do
ing the work of a soldier who lias
gone to the front.
The United States Boys' Working
Reserve is not being organized for
lads who have to work for a living.
Xearly every soldier lioyv wearing
a uniform could make more money
at home.
You are not asked to work be
cause you need the money. you
&ro asked to work because your
country needi your help and relies
upon you to chuck aside false Pride
and join in the le^'m work.
If your big brothr cau dig trench
es surely you can plow corn.
Go to the recruiting officer and
enlist for the Boys Working Reserve.
Then, when you are called upon, go
[and make good in the job assigned
to you a.nd win your medal and
wear it and be proud of it. |
When the Government began to
organize this voluntary service
among boys, so as to meet the in
evitable shortage of man-power,
the skeptic^ and fault-finders pot
busy. They said that boys living in
cities and towns never could be in
duced to work on farms, that farm
ers didn't want to have the town
boys around because they would
prove to be gre^n or lazy or iiu
different, and the whole thing was
a fool coutraption.
Doesn't your common sense (JHni
your knowledge of addition und
subtraction tell you that if we
suddenly take l,t">0.000 or more rneu
right otu of the productive indus
tries of this country, we must eith
er find a million men to take their
places or else so sh<yt on induc
tion?
Are we going to do as they have
done in England—dress the women
and girls in men's garments and
jiut them to cleaning the streets
and making explosives and wiping
up locomotives in roundhouses and
doing all the hard menial tasks?
We musn't come to that—not while
we have on hand a whole army of
young fellows between 1G and 21,
nearly every one of whom has gone
in for some kind of athletic sport
and is physically able and [ would
be as mad as a hornet if you told
him he was a mama's pet andi not,
able to do a man's work.
The hoyg between 16 and 21 can
nd willa supply the shortage of
man-power.
There will be a loud call for
them in 1918 and they must ans
wer the call.
Early last spring Mrs. Thomas
Riffgs, of N'enana. made an offer of
a handsome silver cup to the produ®
er of the best flower garden in
Xenana this summer. Early this
month Mrs. jRigg's came in from
35 miles out on the line to inspect
the gardens and make the award.
City Clerk E. W. Petit, of Ju
neau, recently discovered that Ju
neau holds one honest Mexican at
least. Last June a Mexican was
arrested for drunkenne s and assess
ed a fine of "$10. On his prom- I
i^e to pay he was released to go to |
work. Quitsado disappeared and hi3
location was lost. A short time ago
he walked into the city clerk's of
fice and paid the fine, which he had
obtained by'working in one of thQ
canneries of that section.
