FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1918 We cannot escape the reaction that will follow the conclusion of peace. Indeed, we have scarcely realized the tension under which we have lived for the last eighteen months, longer than that in many instances. We shall feel the let down, the lack of support afforded by the patriotic fer- vor which has filled us. We have not known just how much we have been living on our nerve, so to speak, keep- ing down the anxiety and heart ache, burying ourselves in activities, keep- ing our emotions anaesthetized lest we be mastered by them and render- ed useless to help in the great task which we had in hand. Since we have let ourselves go, have given vent to the pent-up spirit with- m ns, and we have not yet come to an appreciation of what lies ahead of us before we can call the task of winning the war complete. We have months, years perhaps, to live through, months and years which will try our patriotism as much as those of the last year and a half, and we must live them without the stimulus of the goal yet to be won. Qur war work has not ended. We -_. (---- EE ----.

The following article appeared in the official bulletin of the State Council of Defense: ~ "English speaking peoples are in- debted to England for one of the most impressive and inclusive phrases born of the war: Carry on! It is a simple variant of the Amer- ican phrases, "keep going", "stick to your job", and "see it through", but because the war produced it, or at least made it familiar, it seems to carry a deeper significance. Never since America entered the, war has it been more important than it is now that Americans and Amer- ica, Illinoisans and Illinois should carry om. This housecleaning business is a big job; just about as big for this year, and for one, two or three years to come, as the war itself. It isn't as inspiring a job as making war. It carries no thrills. It is simple, stern, hard, unescapable duty. That is why 'we must carry on; why we must continue to economize to conserve food and clothing, fuel and labor. The millions of men in our own forces and in the forces of our allies did not automatically be- come self-supporting by the signing of an armistice. The world must live upon this year's supplies until new supplies can be created. The great undertakings for the aid and relief of the army and navy--the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army and the rest must be supported just as though the end of the fighting were | in the indefinite future for our sol- diers are going to remain abroad un- WINNETKA IS SECOND, WHY NOT FIRST The following letter speaks for it- self and is an inspiration to keep up the good work and perhaps to do even better. Mr. Horace Kent Tenney, General Chairman, War Emergency Union of Winnetka. Winnetka, Illinois. Dear Sir: -- The State Council of Defense very kindly wrote a letter on Octo- ber 26 to their various affiliated bodies for Cook County, outside of Chicago, asking for the support of such organizations in assisting the War Savings campaign during the balance of the year. Their letter "hit the nail on the head" in the majority of post office districts in which their organization is located. We are pleased to advise vou, however, that Winnetka is an exception to this rule inasmuch as that post office district is not behind in its alloted quota of War Savings stamps, due to the efficient manner in which the Winnetka War Savings chairman, Mr. H. A. de Windt, has handled the War Savings activities. I May we ask that you call this cor- rection to the attention of your mem- bers, all of whom no doubt, possess an interest and civic pride in Win- netka's showing, and will be pleased to give Mr. de Windt their hearty co-operation in the continuance of the good work he is doing? Yours for "Over the Top" War Savings Committee Cook County. By A. W. Doell, chairman. WAR EMERGENCY UNION NOTES for The Secretary of the treasury has called for redemption on November 21, 1918, the issue of United States Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness maturing December 5, 1918, and re- quests that this call be given the widest possible publicity. In order to assist in this, if you have an issue i of your paper going to press on | either Saturday. November 9, or on ! Monday, November 11, we will ap- | preciate your publishing the follow- {ing notice: "All United States Treasury Cer- | tificates of Indebtedness of series 1V. | D., dated August 6, 1918, and matur- go on. For it is only after primitive physical needs are satisfied that civilization can advance. President Wilson said in his address to Con- gress when presenting the terms of the armistice, "Hunger does not breed reform; it breeds madness and all the ugly distempers that make an ordered life impossible." Is it not clear what Winnetka's part must be? To respond with alacrity to all requests made by the Food Administration, and while awaiting the new ruling made pos- sible by the release of shipping, which the armistice will bring, to economy and self-denial which we have gladly learned to practice in the last eighteen months, will be our contribution, not only to the amelioration of Europe's pangs, but to the safe-guarding of democratic institutions everywhere. And if it is true that the new channel of help- fulness opened to international effort is to flow free and unimpeded in peace where it has made its way with difficulty by the force of human pity even in war, then our village may also by a wise and kindly self- denial be helping to bring about a League of Nations. To All War Workers The following extract from a let- ter received this week by the chair- man of the Winnetka Red Cross auxiliary, speaks for itself, and will | undoubtedly prevent any decrease in 'our war work. | "The cessation of hostilities will not mean the immediate stopping of any phase of Red Cross work. It is | anticipated that all departments will | continue indefinitely. As Red Cross | workers you have assumed the | responsibility for carrying out many important undertakings. To relax or | slacken in your efforts at this time would be disastrous. It would constitute a serious menace to the welfare of our army and navy. It is impossible to say what the future holds for the American Expedition- ary forces and they must have our unwavering support until their re- instatement in civilian life has been fully accomplished. The Red Cross will be called upon to carry a large part of this burden. We urge you therefore to main- tain the high morale which has en- abled the Chicago chapter to make an enviable record and continue your Red Cross service precisely as you have until the officers of the organ- continue in the ways of thrift and lization officially notify you of cur- tailment of Red Cross activities. Very truly yours, Marquis Eaton, ; chairman, Chicago chapter, American Red Cross.

We have yet to work out the policies which are to put us back again upon the normal, and to cure those social and politic- | al ills which existed before the war. | We shall have plenty of opportuni- ty to use the patriotism which we | have learned to feel during the trial] under which we have lived.

Questions | which are to decide the happiness of the people of our country and to affect the welfare of people all over | the world will have to be met and Congress solved. In electing a majority of Repub-| licans to both houses of Congress, the | United States has pronounced its de- | termination to live under a govern- ment of the people administered by the people. The plea of the President for a Congress which would do his government and the business of the] next Congress will be to show to the | world that theirs is a country cap- able of the exercise of the rights of | self-government able to every personal ambition in a desire | for the general good. pag | And for the first time in the history of this country the.

Also, to finish up the house-clean- ing business, to repatriate the sol- diers now abroad, to be ready for an emergency, the government will still need funds. So when calls are made it is essential--just as essential now las it was when we first entered the war--thas the public shall subscribe.

OUR VILLAGE AND A LEAGUE OF NATIONS In the Chicago papers on Premier day we read the demand of Lloyd George for a League of nat tions as an essential part of the com- ing peace settlement, and on the editorial pages of the same papers were pleas to President Wilson to act at once in sending food to- the Central powers in order to prev the destructive forces of: fanaticism and anarchy from getting the upper hand of the constructive forces of a revolution. sang Is there a connection between these two demands and in what way can a small community like Winnetka make quick and intelligent response to them?
