April Sixth In another eight days the United States will pass the first anniversary of its entrance into the world war, a day which ought to be given pe- culiar significance, for it is the first milestone at which we should pause to take stock of ourselves and our achievements, and to measure what we have done with what we ought to have done and what we must do in the second year upon which we shall be entering. There is a general public request that every loyal citizen hang out the flag upon that day, as evidence of his devotion to the cause which the na- tion has espoused and to signify his intention of applying his effort in "every possible way to the further- ance of the program of preparation in which we are engaged. This beginning of the second year is a very different occasion from the first. We gigantic task, beginning of the faced a year ago a with un- bounded enthusiasm and limitless confidence in our powers. During the year we have been capitalizingrihat confidence into tangible. We military enthusiasm and something more have erected a great and naval system, with vast training schools from which many thousands of young men have already gone out to face the nearer prospect of war on We have great industries to produce the other side. launched the ma- terials necessary for the prosecution of the war. We have made a great showing of achievement without, however, having reached the point of being able to give very great aid to our Allies.

The first has been a season of promise. The second will be a year of performance, the character of which will depend largely upon the support which is given to the government by the civilian popula- tion. And so, on this first anniversary of the declaration of war, we should, to a man, give expression to our deter- mination to stand by to the utter- most. If your flag means that to you, make ready to have it flying in all its glory before your home and over your shop on the anniversary of the most fateful day in the history of the nation. AT THE WOMAN'S CLUB The regular meeting of the Woman's club was held on Thurs- day, March 21, at the club house. A war activity meeting was conducted at 2:30 o'clock preliminary to the regular session, at which Mrs. Char- les Buell spoke on,"Children'swork in War times". Among other things she told of the home cobbling unit which has been organized in the eighth grades of the public schools, and the splendid results obtained. Conditions among the school child- ren in England were next discussed by the ® speaker who said that, although at the beginning of the war, conditions had forced many children to leave schools, a law had since been enacted, not only compelling children up to the age of 14, to at- tend school, but putting every boy and girl from 14 to 18 years of age, at least on a half term basis. She emphasized the vital importance of keeping our children in school. Discuss Farm Work James F. Porter next spoke of the committee which has been formed to personally supervise the high school boys who have enrolled for work on farms. mentioning that 165 boys from New Trier high school had already pledged themselves to engage in farm work this summer. The regular-meeting was formally opened by the president, Mrs. Carrie \ B. Prouty, followed by the reading of the minutes of the two previous meetings by the Mrs. secretary, Florence Capron, after which the president made the following an- nouncements. "The names of the members nominated for club offices will be announced at the next meeting. Surgical Dressings Class Surgical dressings classes are to be conducted at the home of Mrs. Aron Younker, on Sheridan road. Mrs. Charles S. Pitkin will be in charge of the instructions. More books are needed for the ar- my and may be sent to the Public Library. Enough magazines have been received. Mrs. W. G. Walling next addressed the women on the subject of food conservation, and Mrs. George W. Gordon spoke of the school bond issue election. Forest Preserves, Topic After the announcement of the forthcoming Village and Township elections the meeting was turned over to Mrs. Allan Wolff, chairman of the Civics committee, who intro- duced Mr. Adolph Weiner. Mrs. Wei- ner presented a very interesting ac- count of the Forest Preserves in Cook County. The meeting then ad- journed. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mrs. John McLeish, Mrs. Ray- mond Durham, Mrs. Charles M. Thomson and Mrs. Clarence Boggs Miss Veronica Busscher, of Wil- mette, has recently returned from the Evanston hospital, where she under- went an operation for tonsils and adenoids. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence M. Stein, 812 Lloyd place, are leaving this week for French Lick Springs, Ind, to spend about three weeks. (Continued from page 1) Residents to House Men Men living in the outlying sections of the district will be housed over night in homes of Wilmette residents who have volunteered to afford the accomodations. Though no special arrangements have been made, to give the boys a "send off" because of the early hour of departure, it is expected the Wil- mette station will be the scene of oreat activity with friends and re- latives of the men on hand at the | hour of leavetaking.
