HERE AND THERE
Another contingent of our
boys left Thursday to join the
ranks.
What is worrying those who
have not yet been accepted is
the fear that the great advent
ure will be over before they can
be in on it.
Not idly, nor in quest of ex
perience are the boys making
every effort to get across the
water, but with singleness cf
purpose and ti e longing to be
identified with everything that
will help to exterminate that
great monster which makes no
secret of wanting the Earth.
McCarthy is now well repre
sented overseas and also from
Florida to Liseum.
In the meantime we who are
left behind must keep our end
up. So many ways— so much to
do — Are you carrying your
share of the weight?
Americans are not enamoured
of war. Overseas they are home j
sick, yes, but you could not drive
them home. They are there to
stay to the end, and determined
that the end must be right.
However, when all has been
brought to a victorious finish,
they will come home as ships &
trains can carry them, and will
not tarry on the way.
And when that home coming
comes round, can we show them
we have kept the lamps trimmed
and burning during their ab
sence?
SPY PROOF LETTERS
WORKED OUT BY STATE
DEPARTMENT.
To prevent the possibility of
valuable information getting in
to Germany the American Red
Cross, in sending letters behind
the enemy lines at the request
of persons in this country, is
following carefully a plan work
ed out by the State Department
to do away with code.
