FRIDAY, JANUARY 3I, 1919 The Fort Sheridan Auniliors There will be an element of relief to many people who have been more or less concerned about the welfare | of the wounded and shell shocked! men :at Fort Sheridan that a com- mittee has organized in their | behalf, with the proper facilities for | determining conditions and the means of correcting where cor-| rection 'is needed and of contribut-| ing whatever is -desirable to the! equipment of the hospital. | No one would have the men who | have been returned from the front] wounded, either in body or in mind, suffer any hardship from which they might be saved. The public realizes the magnitude of the sacrifice which many of them have made and is will- ing to do anything possible to re- move its bad effects or to contribute in any way possible to their comfort | or happiness. But it neither purpose for unauthorized people to | send abroad rumors of bad tions, however good the may be behind the report. The people of the north shore will be ready to respond to any call that may be made upon them through the] Fort Sheridan auxiliary and will rest! assured that until such a call comes there is no reason to be unduly exer-| cised about the welfare -of-the-men who have been stationed there. been actual Serves condi- intention Slipping Back It is the exceptional household which has not found itself quietly slipping back into the easy ways of indifference and extravagance in the use of food since the restrictions of the Food Administration have been | lifted and it is possible to buy what-| ever fancy dictates, provided purse can stand the strain. In a way it has been unfortunate that the experience of the American! the people with the need to economize closely in the provision of food for the family should have been so short lived. We were learning many valu- able lessons in the school of experi- ence and necessity, lessons which we would do well to continue into the] future of peace. But peace has come! before we have translated the new | methods into habit and the ease of the old way puts temptation in our way so strongly that it is only in rare instances that the new survives. No one would have had the war continue for even one hour beyond the time of its close, but there would have been a distinct gain to the American people if the restrictions that made necessary the practice of greater economy in the household had prevailed for another season, at least. This Must be Done Now | There are some results of the war | that must wait upon time for treat- ment and correction. The work of the Peace Conference must neces- sarily be slow and deliberate in order that mistakes may not be made, mis- takes which would impair the safety of the world for the future and per- haps bring injustice to the peoples] who will be affected by the policies established through the work of the conference. But there are certain things that cannot wait, things that must be done at once, if they are to be done at 21. Such an one is the relief of Ar- menia and Syria. There is no time for organizing a new machinery of aid, no time to work out a new policy | crowded Sunday | 26, to welcome home the boys in the [ ficers, | Croix de Guerre, 'Marine Guards, EE -------- Union Activities J) | War Emergency | PATRIOTIC MEETING WELCOMES BLACKHAWKS AT COMMUNITY HOUSE Community House gymnasium was evening, Blackhawk and other divisions, and to see the great war film "Under Four Flags." After the invocation by the Reverend Austin Richards, and! the singing of the national anthem, Mr. Davies spoke a word of welcome] to the boys who have returned from | overseas. A delightful feature of the!: evening which made even vivid the war pictures shown was the response given by some of the of- just returned from France. All voiced a gladness in being home, i more | and spoke of the fine care they had been given while away. First Lieutenant Preston Boyden of Co. D, 343rd Inf. explained the "Casual System" of the U. S. Army, and stated that while the transfer of men as "casuals" into some other | divisions of the army entailed some hardships on the men in loss eof pay. | loss of time, in the delivery of mail, | and gave a man a lonesome feeling | at times, nevertheless it was a neces- | sary thing. because by it, the fight- ling divisions were kept filled all the time. "There cannot be a war," said | Lieutenant Boyden, "without a sys- tem of casuals." Second Lieutenant Frederick W.| Copeland, of Battery E, 333rd H. F.| A., gave some vivid impressions of | the wonderful care and protection | given to our boys "over there." He] urged that reports to the contrary be discounted, because some thihgs that the grumbled at in jest have been repeated in earnest. Captain Sidney Greeley of Battery boys B. 333rd H. F. A. said that he had enjoyed the fifteen months he had been in service. He declared the Y. M. C. A. in France was a great suc- cess, and said it would be difficult to say just what the American sol-! diers in France would have done without it. Major John S. Miller of the 333rd H. F. A. gave several vivid word | pictures of the boys on their way to | France--telling how they were care- 'ully conveyed to Bordeaux,--of their reception rat the railroad station, -- | and he spoke particularly of the fine care they had been given every bit of the way. | The meeting was held under the | auspices of the War Emergency | Union. WINNETKA MARINES GREETED BY FRIENDS A large group of friends of Cor- poral George Wissman and Edward Drew gathered in the Assembly room of Community House, Saturday even- | ing, January 25, to bid them welcome | home. and to hear some of their ex- periences in the trenches and at the | front. Both men have been in serv-| ice with the Marines since April, | 1917. Winnetka has reason to be] proud of these men who have seen | terrific fighting and whose bravery | in danger has won them the highest | honors. and decorated them with the with the palm. Cor- | who was with the] 5th Regiment Marine | Corps, was wounded June 12, 1918, after he had been in the trenches | since March, 1918. He was sent to! the hospital, but returned to the front July 14, and remained there] until October 3, when he was again wounded and gassed ahd sent to the! hospital. Only twelve men were left | in his company of two hundred and | fifty men. He has won a marksman- | ship pin for fine shooting, and before | the armistice 'was signed he was given an opportunity to enter an of- ficers' training school. | Fdward Drew who was with the No. 9, has also been | in "No Man's Land" and in all' poral Wissman 17th Company, out of protection. The people of these stricken districts are dying from] starvation and the lack of everything | that is needful to sustain life. Unless help is brought to them and brought | at once it will be too late, for the| whole race of the Christian people of the near east will have entered | into their long release from suffer- | ing. There 1s only the motive of help- | ing a suffering people to persuade | the United States to assume the bur- | den which is-laid upon the nation for | the relief of Armenia. We have noth- | | | | ing to gain except that; ease¢ of conscience that comes with doing an obvious duty. We have an abund- ance of all things. The Armenians | and the Syrians, through no fault of their own, have nothing. We are asked to give of our richness to re- lieve their , distress. It is a very simple obligation but one which we cannot in humanity refuse to dis- charge. anuary | : J ° | mine-laying | in this dangerous work. | ing | thirty i Foster. {ing hk kinds of dangers. ed, and has ships.

Why Busy People Have Leisure They say that the busiest people have the most time to give in serv- ice to others, can turn clear attention to a new subject 'at an instant's notice. This is simple because the busiest people, the ones who are ac- complishing the most, have learned the art of prompt action, of quick dismissal of what has to be done. They can give you at any moment undivided attention because their minds are clear and ready. discharge | Gow- | B er We vrant you to visit t yourself a family payments -- no interest.
