ONLY ONE KIND OF PEACE.
Formal warning has been issued by
the American Defense society :•> all
its members throughout the United
States. Hawaii and Porto Rico against
th- traps constantly being set by tier
many in disguised attempts to lure
the United States and our allies into
a situation through whic h a negotiated
peace might he* brought about. The
society declares that it feels P i. m»
cessary to state its position without
equivocal ion. and calls upon ; !1 hr ai
Ame ricans to indorse its stand, which
is that only unconditional surrender
of (I*Ti.iany and her allies can .he
w ar.
The -nci' fy urges every Ailiei ic .'ll
and every loyal citizen of t'ie allied
nation in this war to resist in every
maim* r the utilization of Tie present
so call"- IM • ic- suggestions of Aus
tria by the enemy within our gates
which have 1 mi discussed s> much
during lie ist few weeks This
em-my i • omposite of toe .ccret
friend m' c lany here in our land,
the }*• i«*iIi•.i n would-he traitor and
the disa 11 ecu publicist. These sec
ret enmnies, according to the Ameri
can Defense society. naturally will try.
hv the devious methods of which they
hold tin mastery, to advance the pro
posal that there should he negotia
tion.*' for peace and are even at the
present time delighting in tie* danger
such negotiations would entail upon
our country. The society is unalter
ably opposed to any secret conference,
ami t<i the admission of Germany and
her allies to the conference which
shall settle tin* conditions which are
to exist at the termination of tin* war.
In writing to the three hundred
brain he of the society throughout
the I'nited States Dharles Stewart
Davison, ehairman of the hoard of
trustees, says
"So far as Germany and her allies
are concerned the only acceptable so
lution of the present war is the un
conditional surrender ol Germany and
her alii* - In an> negotiated peace
there must necessarily be concessions
made. livery eoncesion made to
Germany would b* at: injustice to
some other nation or some individual
who has been injured by Germany.
We . in trust ourselves not to he op
pressor- in < ■ ciuin,, after Germany
h r mditi ually surrendered what
th urn;-* conditions under which the
world shall progress are to be. The
■ pi.it "i America must he resolved
upon these fundamental proposals.
ailing this the world would have to
face again in some form the same
conditions which have led to the aw
fill outrages and abominations of the
past four years."

WHAT "AMERICA'S ANSWER"
MEANS
"America's Answer." the United
Stales ollicial war picture issued by
the division of films of the commit
tee on public information, is not the
ordinary press-agented film play. It
is a chapter of the great drama of
tin' war, registered by United States
signal corps photographers, by direct
tion of (leneral John J. I’erahing, it
is purely a government enterprise. No
individual has any profit interest in
the production. The picture has been
made and it is presented for public
. ct:-idi-nti i'.i, not to make money
; ithoegh it must necessarily produce
a revenue in order to meet the ex
pense involved but in order to show
the millions of contributors to the
several Liberty loans, the purchasers
of thrift stamps, taxpayers and those
who have so generously given in othei
ways for the needs of the war, just
how tlie great sums have been ex
pended and what, in a physical way
1ms been accomplished in France bur
ing the first year of America’s par
ticipation in tho struggle for democ
racy. ' !fj
It shows the wonderful three-mile
dock "somewhere in France." built on
swamp land by American soldiers, and
mow being used to expedite the land
ing of our troops and the* handling of
the stupendous volume of supplies
with which the sea from tho Fnited
States to the coast of France is being
bridged. It shows one of the mam
moth refrigerator plants established
behind the lines, a great plant with a
capacity for to,out),non pounds of meat,
and capable of producing a million
pounds of ice daily; it shows the as
sembling of American locomotives by
our soldier maehanics; the building
of railways, the leveling of French
forests to secure needed timber; the
erection of hospitals and the building
of a great dam in order to create a
reservoir to supply one of the largest
hospitals with water; it shown how
American soldiers live in camp and on
the fighting lines, what they eat, how
tho daily tons upon tons of bread is
made, how the worn clothing is reno
at ml and repaired by French women j
in the service of the American army; j
the utilization of old hats and old ;
shoes in a wonderful salvage depart 1
nient; the sanitation of tho soldiers
uniforms by machinery; the endless;
stream of the trucks used to trails-1
port supplies to the front; camouflaged ■
guns, the acres of shells and other
ammunition, the American aero squad
ron, and, finally, the actual lighting
in which American soldiers have
brought undying fame upon them
selves and their country
"America's Answer" is a picture
that every American and every near
American should see; it is one's duty,
but also one's privilege, to see it
The government's division of films
has done no better work for the stim
ulation of loyally and the accentua
tion of the spirit of giving than the
assembling and presentation of this
most illuminating war film. Every
motion theater should show it. Every
man, woman and child in tho city
should see it. or If it has not been
booked here, they should insist on
being given an opportunity to see it.!
Many Forms of Vacation Service Open
for Teacher Both in City and Country
JBy PHILANDER P. CLAXTON, United States Commissioner of Education
1 have every admiration for the woman who offers
herself for Red Cross nursing, for canteen service in
[France, for ambulance driving behind the lines, or for
the countless other war tasks that women are doing so
cheerfully and so well. Rut this is only a part of our
war work, after all. The woman teacher in America
today need have no concern as to where her patriotic
duty lies. Not only is her task of teaching boys and
L girls one of supreme national and even military im
[ portanee, as France has shown, but her position as
I teacher gives her an opportunity for leadership, par
ticularly in the smaller communities, that is unsurpassed tor direct
national service.
It is from the point of view of possibilities in the home community,
then, that I urge teachers to face the summer vacation. For many patri
otic teachers it need not be so much a change of scene as a chain'- of
activity. The suburban teacher who has 1.. doing her work mid. r the
formal conditions that still prevail in too many schools can work her own
garden or help work someone else s. Better still, she can help her 0.
and girls in their home gardens, as a hundred thousand or more pal riotic
teachers are doing in the United States school garden army organized
under the department of the interior. It will help the food situation and
the teacher who does this work will be a better teacher for her contact
with the soil.
For the teacher who wants to-do Bed Cross work' there is tlr /tide,
of junior membership that has been opened up. Here, too, the teacher
can not only help her children produce tilings for the soldiers hut she
will he getting something that will make her fundamental work of teach
ing better and she will be giving an example of the school’s influence in
the community that will he valuable in the many more emergencies of
the coming months and years.
Many teachers will wish to go away for a rest and change, for a
pari of tin simuner at least. It is hard to think of a better rest and change
for such teachers, if they must leave the community, than to go to some
good sumnici - * bool and learn liov. to do belter the tiling they are doing.
Conservation of Children’s Clothing
During Heated Period of Summer
By MRS. MAX WEST ol Children’* Beienu, U. S. Department ol Labor
Snme sorts of war saving reijiiire special watchfulness on the mother -
part to guard the children from possible harm. For instance, food sub
stitutes must be made with great care in order that the children’s food
may still contain all the elements necessary to growth. But with clothes
in summer it is different. In hot summer weather it is a distinct advan
tage to the child’s health to he dressed lightly. And the saving of textiles
and leather is an important consideration now. Wool must he saved,
because it is needed for the blankets, underwear and uniforms of our light
ing forces. Cotton is needed for hospitals and many other uses. The
need to supply leather fur the army’s use is, of course, imperative.
In selecting fabrics for clothing it is not entirely a matter of finding
a cheaper and less needed substitute. Old goods must be brought again
into service, turned, cleaned, washed, dyed and made over. When an old
garment is returned to usefulness actual saving of wool or cotton is
effected, and in addition manufacturers will be able to concentrate their
output on goods for army uses because of the decreased demand for
unnecessary materials.
1 he purchasing of novelties, fancy fabrics and elaborate garments
tends to withdraw from war uses not only needed materials but labor,
especially skilled laborers needed for other branches of production.
Now, in summer large savings of woolen materials of every sort,
including fancy and light-colored wools used fur knitting, can be accom
plished. Children can be clothed practically entirely in cotton for several
months in the year. Wise mothers will make children’s summer clothing
as simply as possible, thus reducing the work required for washing and
ironing and increasing the child’s comfort.
Children like to wear barefoot sandals in summer. Their use saves
leather and stockings. Half soling and mending makes shoes go much
further. Further saying of leather can be effected by using canvas shoM
in Bummer.
