THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1917 Woman's Work. This week has seen the departure of the first contingent of the new National army to training camps in preparation for the work which America has undertaken to do on the battlefields of Europe. Ever since the war began, there has been absolute frankness concern- ing conditions in the trenches and the manner of life which the men •who fill them must adopt. Our men are going into war with no illusions as to what war means. Their eyes are opened to the danger, the dis- comfort, all possible results of their participation in the fray. And yet they are going, and going cheerfully, to do what they recognize as their obvious duty to do. We expect noth- ing else from our fine American manhood, and take rather as a mat- ter of course the general disposition to do manfully a work which must be d6ne. But all the duty of service does not rest with the men in uniform, nor all the responsibility for effective service, with victory in the end. Much must be done by those who remain -comfortably at home, both the wo- men and the men. The industries of the nation must be carried on. The country must be defended against disaster while the troops are abroad. The dependents of the soldiers must be cared for. The money must be supplied to maintain the army, to finance our allies, to feed the na- tions whose man power has been so depleted by war that the production of crops has fallen far below the normal. These things must be left in the hands of the men who are not qualified to enter into the great na- tional army for service over seas. Another sort of duty rests upon the women of the land, the work which is typically woman's work, furnishing the supplies to make the men as comfortable as .is possible for them to be as they discharge the na- tion's debt to humanity and to equip the hospitals for efficient service to the torn and shattered bodies which will be brought to them after the battle has taken its toll of those en- gaged. The work of the Red Cross and of the Navy League is the work <of the American woman of today, which must be done, and thoroughly «lonef if American womanhood is go- ing to hold up her head with the other nations of the world after the jwar. ;,V.,:.;v,':' |: 'Ifhere are in the rooms of the Red 1 Cross of Wilmette empty places |j||l§jwhich stand a reproach to the wo- ^^H«nanh©odl of the village, telling a j story^of lack of interest in the great- Sit mi est duty which is being placed upon the women of the world today. These places remain empty day after day, week after week, because all our wo- -men have not been brought to the point of realization of their part in the war. It is much to be desired that the awakening come soon, that our boys need not go away from their homes thinking that the women who are being left in comfort and security are too much wrapped up in their own private interests to do their part towards making the sacri- fice of the men effective and no more hazardous than it must be. • Economy in the Midst of Plenty. Bountiful harvests and material in- crease in the live produce of the farms have been given America in this, the first year of our participa- tion in the war. Everywhere, even in cities, one sees food stuff growing in profusion, and the sense naturally results, that there can be no want here in the season between harvests. But America, this year as never be- fore, must be considered not as a na- tion apart, but as a part of the world, and her increase in foods and live stock must be counted with the de- crease in the other countries, which the depleted man power and the de- struction incident to the war have effected. Economy is necessary here in the midst of plenty, that the world may be fed, and, particularly, our allies in the war. Two factors to effect the desired result are present, and both must be accepted by the Ameri- can people,--the reduction of our con- sumption of food materials and the elimination of waste. The American nation has always been a lavish people. Things have come to us so easily that we have not appreciated their value. Prodigality is the natural result, and it is our prodigality which we are. under moral obligation to correct that the world may have to eat of our abundance. That most of us eat too much is evident from the national tendency to excessive avoirdupois. Less food and more exercise would be the mak- ing of most men and women who have passed the thirtieth milestone, and that is what is asked of us by the government, that we eliminate the unnecessary food from our tables and from our household economy the waste which accompanies lavishness. War Benefits. Significant of the times is the ten- dency of all entertainments to take the form of benefits for some war ac- tivity. Cectures, card parties, danc- ing parties, whatever people like to do and can be persuaded to give their money for are utilized for the pur- pose of raising money to forward the many kinds of useful activities which must be financed by individuals or organizations voluntarily formed. It is only the destructive side of war which makes no appeal to the public and must be provided for by legal means through bond issues and tax- ation. An ice cream, social, or lawn fete as is the present nomenclature, a card party, an amateur theatrical per- formance, bears no relation to the grim work which must be undone, so far as possible, by the efforts of the relief organizations of the countries at war, but they are a very valuable part of the lives of the people at home. It is hard to keep up one's courage under depressing conditions if there is nothing to draw one into social activities. The gay round of the normal season cannot be fol- lowed by the women whose hearts are heavy with the absence of those dear to them and the fear of perma- nent loss. The same sort of activi- ties, given as benefits for war relief work, wiil draw and divert those whose need would not otherwise be met. Air Raid Lieut. Lee Hammond will drop bombs on North Shore towns place copies of the magazine will be dropped like bombs. A legend on the magazines will inform persons in the places over which the aircraft passes that free yearly subscriptions to the magazine may be obtained if the samples are sent promptly by mail to Ensign J. C. Waldron, editor, Great Lakes, III., providing each sample is accompanied by five new subscriptions at $1.50 each. The September number of the Re- cruit, profusely illustrated with naval scenes and glimpses of the naval sta- North shore towns next week are to be given a real thrill of having an armored aeroplane passing over them on a bombing expedition. There will be all the thrills of a real air adven- ture like England experiences every so often when German aircraft raid coast cities, except--the bombs will be different. They will be sample copies, of the Great Lakes Recruit, dropped from the sky for advertising purposes. The machine will be piloted by Lieut. Lee Hammond, in charge of the aviation station, at the U. S. Naval Training station, Great Lakes. Plans for the air expedition, which is intended to increase the circula- tion of the Great Lakes Recruit, the official monthly magazine of the naval station, were announced today by Ensign J. C. Waldron, editor-in- chief of the magazine. Starting from the naval station, Lieut. Hammond will pilot his ma- chine over Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Fort Sheridan, Glencoe, Winnetka, Wilmette and Evanston. At each tion, where 12,000 apprentice seamen now are in training, has just ap- peared on the newstands of Wilmette and other north shore towns. The magazine is published under the di- rection of Capt. W. A. Moffett, com- mandant, who is anxious to increase the circulation of the magazine to 10,000 in north shore towns. Ensign Waldron, by the way, is a Wilmette man, having recently moved here from Chicago. Ensign and Mrs. Waldron are, residing at 1229 Lake avenue.
