FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918 The Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr. : Memorial. ; Nothing could be more in keeping with the character of the man it is designed to honor than the emerg- ency hospital just behind the lines in France, plans for which are now under way as a memorial to the gal- lant young aviator; Andrew Courtney Campbell," Jr., of Kenilworth. Sergeant Campbell was a member of the Lafayette Escadrille, a daring flyer and an enthusiastic patriot and defender of the rights of the world threatened by the German emperor and his army. He met death in an fight planes, died fighting gallantly as he unequal with three enemy would have wished to die and leaving in the minds of his comrades as well as of his friends and family at home, the memory of a fine young man- hood cut off in the prime of life, a sacrifice to the cause of democracy and freedom for the peoples of the earth whose possessions and growth were matters of envy to the ambitious German emperor. - The Campbell best are those who are mak- people who knew Sergeant ing the campaign for funds to build and equip the emergency hospital in his name, a hospital to help the people whom he died to serve. The people who knew him only a little are sub- scribing to the fund. Those who had no personal acquaintance with the dead aviator, yet admire him for what he has done and what he has given in the cause which is theirs as well as his, should join in the contribution to add to the relief agencies already in service at the front, another which will increase just so much the safety and the comfort of some others of our men and those of our allies who that the same danger, tempting the same fate. are taking the same chances young Campbell took, daring There should be no more suitable memorial to a soldier who has paid the price than the erection of a hos- pital which will save others, wounded and sick, from the payment of the last tribute to their country. Tie BEE Are You? Are co-operating with the food administration because you have you to or because you want to? Do you call yourself a loyal Ameri- can citizen, anxious for the speedy triumph of the American cause, the success of its brave soldiers abroad and the welfare of its fine people at home, and yet dare to hold back and whine and quibble and say you can't, or you don't want to, or you must first know the reason why, when you are called upon to conform to re- quirements ? Are you only willing to follow or- ders as long as it suits your con- venience, your pocketbook, and your individual views, or are you man enough and American enough to say: "That which is best for my country is best for me. terests. last. Come what may, I falter or fail in this hour of trial." On your answer to such questions as these will depend your status in this country, now, in the time of action, when each man's ment, when reviewed. In God's name, stand up and don't be a skulker.-- Northwestern Miller. We The Week of Song. The week between the birthdays {of Lincoln and Washington is to be a national week of song, a season in which the people of all communities are to unite in singing the patriotic songs of the nation and those old tunes which are native to America. Lincoln and Washington are the two great names of American history. We have observed their birthdays as national holidays for many years. We have not always spent the holi- days in ways designed to increase the general appreciation of the qualities which made them great, nor in con- templation of the principles of action which made them stand as they do, foremost among all the great names in our past. This year we are going through another test such as tried us in the days of Washington and of Lincoln. We are standing to see whether the country which was founded by Wash- ington is to remain the country in' which the right of selfsgovernment is one worth fighting for and if we are of that quality to prevail over the tyrant who would impose upon the small nations of the earth the yoke which America fought to free herself from. ham Lincoln facing disruption, This year we need more than ever before to seek for the spirit of the America of 1776 1861 in and not actually carrying arms but are none the less an essential factor in the winning or the losing of the war. General singing of the songs which recall the days of stress and the days of triumph is a very effective agent to help us into that spirit, * * * * x AR HO AVINGS AVES TAMPS I will follow the call of my trade; serve as it is de- manded of me; do what is required; stand fast for the good of the whole, regardless of my own apparent in- My* country and its needs first, my business and its advantage will not help is needed, later, in the time of judg- each man's record is We are being weighed to see whether the country which was held together by the wise hand of Abra- shall suffice to keep those European countries which are whole and free. our young men and in the people who are | ERVES | Pay Your Taxes Wilmette, Ill, Feb. 14, 1918.

Adequate means of communication are a tremen- dous factor in national defense. In demonstration of its ability to supply almost instant service over the whole country, the Bell System, a short time before the declar- ation by the President of a state of war, arranged a forty- hour mobilization test of its facilities. Communication was established between the Navy Department at Washington and all naval stations ir the United States, including such wiaely separated points as Puget Sound, Wash.; Pensacola, Fla.; San Diego, Cal., and Nev Orleans, La. Over fifty-three thousand miles of wire and the services of six hundred employés engaged in making the test. An average of thirty seconds was taken to make most of the connections. Later, by wireless telephony, Secretary Daniels talked from his desk in the Navy Department with the com- mander of the Battleship New Hampshire, somewhere on the Atlantic. . These demonstrations were of importance to every cit- izen of the country in that they showed the value of the telephone as a means of National defense.
