In ,ihe Third Liberty Loan Campaign exhibit trains toured the country, but then the material at hand was so scanty that lt was impossible to show sufficient to arouse the interest of the spectator. For the Fourth Loan it is different. In vast warehouses in South St Louis during the past three months was assembled a wonderful collection of the arms of the nations at war. There were the gas masks used by the French and the Germans in their struggles for the world supremacy, placed In passenger coaches temporarily converted into exhibit cars. There are hundreds of the various kinds of hand grenades used by the Central Powers and the Allies. Swords, cutlasses, daggers, trench knives used by the Marines, and hundreds of other specimens of small arms, all of which have seen active service. Big Guns on Flat Cars. On flat cars that comprise a part of the train are great guns captured from the Germans and Austrians, all camouflaged and mounted the same as they were the day the victorious Allies overcame the Huns and took thousands of prisoners. Machine guns, the kind used by the Americans and by all of the nations, are fastened on the cars and mounted eo that the veriest tyro in the war game may understand the terrible effectiveness of these deadly weapons. One of the interesting exhibits is the array of air bombs, the kind that the American blrdmen are carrying over the frontier now and will drop on the industrial region in the Rhine Valley and hasten the end of the war. There are depth bombs, that have proven so effective in removing the submarine menace, and when one understands the terrible power of the explosive contained in the harmless-lookincans Jie will understand how the submarine commanders dread to see the approach of the American destroyer that makes a specialty of dropping these depth bombs over the spot where the undersea craft submerges. There is row after row of the great shells that screech over the battle fronts, each shell so marked that the beholder may realize in a measure the damage that can be wrought when thousands of giant guns are hurling these dreadful missiles miles through space and causing them to explode within the enemy lines. Every implement of warfare, the kind that the daily papers mention in everj' engagement, is shown in countless numbers, and each is so labeled that the spectator may know and g FjkjVffi r wrwz. m WW T$m&i This is a story of two American wars.

Every man and woman in America must recognize this fact the war must go oh, and it must be paid for. Liberty Bonds offer an opportunity for service to those who cannot fight at the front. They provide the means for that other form' of service, war financing. The purchase of bonds is a national necessity. It is one of those rare ne cessities which is a blessing undisguised in that it carries Its own. a e ward. The personal benefits derived from the possession of Liberty Bonds will cover a period of years. Their strength lies in the fact that their value is cumulative.

If the people of this country do riot take care the epidemic will be- come so widespread throughout tie United States that soon we shall hear the disease called "American" lnflu- enza. In response to a request for definite Information concerning Spanish Influenza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service has authorized the following official Interview: Is it Spanish Influenza? What something new? Does it come from Spain? "The disease now occurring In this country and called 'Spanish Influenza' resembles a very contagious kind of 'cold' accompanied by fever, pains a t Coughs and Sneezes. Spread Diseases .As Dangerous as Poison Gas Shells In the head, eyes, ears, back or other gmrts of the body and a feeling of severe sickness.

Whether Ttq Cfwullfd 'Rnnnfsh Influenza ta Identical with the epidemics of influen-x- a of earlier yetrs is not yet .known. "Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1647. It is interesting to 3mow that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have !been numerous epidemics of the disease. In 18S9 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and tthence over practically the world. Three years later there was another flare-u- p of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread vcide-- y over the United States "Although fee present epidemic Is .called 'Spanish influenza,' there Is no reason to believe that It originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the Question believe that the epidemic canto from the Orient and they call attention fo the fact that the .Germans uientlon the disease as occurring along the eastern front is the summer and Jail of 1917."

On the other hand, recognition Is easy where there Is & group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in the cold months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic raged most intensely in Europe In May, June and July. Moreover, In the case of ordinary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden In their onset as they are In influenza. Finally, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or go extensively as does Influenza. "In most cases a person taken sick with Influenza feels sick rather snd- . denly. He feels weak, has pains In the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit Most of the patients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relative- ly "In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick.

In other cases of apparently the same kind of disease there were found pneumococcl, the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by streptococci, and by others germs with long names. "No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now believed that Influenza is always spread from person to person, the germs being carried with the air along with the very small droplets of mucus, xpelled by coughing or sneezing, forceful talking, and the like by one who already has the germs of the disease. They may also be carried about in the air In the form of dust coming from dried mucus, from coughing and sneezing, or from careless people who spit on the floor and on the sidewalk. As in most other catching diseases, a person who has only a mild attack of very the disease himself may give severe attack to others." What should be done by those who catch the disease? "It is very important that every person who becomes sick with Influenza should go home at once and so to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide. It Is highly desirable that no one be allowed to sleep in the same room with the patient. In fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed In the room. Jlf there Is cough arid sputom or running of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such are collected on bits of gauze or rag or paper napkins and burned. If the patient complains of fever and headache, he should be given water to drink, a cold compress to the forehead .and a light spocge. Only such medicine should be given as Is prescribed by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the druggist to prescribe and may he dangerous to take the 'safe, sure and 'harmless' remedies advertised .by patent medicine manufacturers. "If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others In the family, it.l advisable 'that such attendant wear a wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while In the sick room and slip this off when leaving to look after the others.

Dr. G. A. Hulbert In a Fourth Liberty Loan sermon last Sunday at Kingshlghway Presbyterian Church, St. Louis. The text was from Exodus 88:6.. "The children of Israel faced the challenge of the crista and prepared' to meet it This is the day when in the church, as well as In state, 'orna ments' must be laid aside. Secondary things must take secondary places. "The state is fighting to make the world safe for democracy. The church's business is to make democracy safe for the world. It Is the only organization which can do that thing. No other agency has it in its power to bring this about "A man, to be safe in a democracy, must have motives which are always prompted by the right Whoever has not these is a dangerous citizen for a democracy. "The church's business is to save men from sin, but that 1b not all. Quite as much it is the business of the church to save them to righteousness and righteousness Is active, not passive.

She alone has the equipment She has always believed in 'preparedness' for her She must assume the offen-aiv- e and no longer doubt her right to lead'the world in moral and spiritual ideals." Dr. Hulbert made a plea for the church to master the worlds of education, Christian culture as against mere culture, politics in that unselfish service shall be the mark of worthiness of leaders, industry that life may $e conserved, the play, the home and the slums. Right now, dn the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, the church is at Horeb, the speaker said, and she must assume the task. She must strip herself ior action and let the world know for what she stands.

The war department had seen the need of occupations for hours if the employees were to work at their greatest efficiency, and through the ordnance department asked the Young Women's Christian Association for recreation leaders, to line up the pleasgirls and direct their free-tim- e ures. The government reminded the Y. "W. ' C. A. that as an organization it always had had an interest in the right housing of girls, in the right feeding of girls, and in the right education of girls, and that the Intelligent-car- e of these girls in the munitions factories was one of the essentials in the winning of the war. The government could house and feed them. It could put up recreation buildings, but when this was done It was las helpless as the father of a motherless girl. The government is a compo'slte man.

Excitedly she shook her head In answer to the question that she could not understand. She searched through her red plaid waist for the paper that Tony had folded Into a little square and given to her. The writing on It, In the English that Tony knew and she did not, told the house where she lived. Tony had explained It all to her that morning. He had told It to her again at the station. Then, waving his hat, he had disappeared Into the train with the rest of the men, and Lucia had been left standing oueslde the gate. There were crowds of women pushing all about her. They were weeping. So Lucia wept, too. Lucia had been betrothed to Tony In the old country. Five years before, with a long ticket for New York pinned Into his Inside pocket, her lover had left her. He wrote In every letter that he had made her a home' In the new country. Her dowry money had finally provided her own transportation, and for two months Tony and-shhad been married. Then he had drawn a ticket with a number on It, and this morning he had gone off to war. To the policeman Lucia told all these things In rapid Italian. But the policeman only talked back to her as rapidly in a language that was not Italian. She followed him dumbly to headquarters. An hour later a woman wearing" American clothes gently began talking to her In beautiful Italian. Italian Lucia was only, one of thouwomen, Syrians, sands of foreign-bor- n Italians, Armenians, Russians, Lithuanians, Polish, who, when the draft called their men folk to the American colors, asked in helpless confusion what It was all about When would their men be back? What did people mean when they told them they would receive money through the mall? Where could they find work that they knew how to do7 Was there no one who could explain It all to them In their own language? The Y. W. C. A was ready to offer assistance, but it would be of no value to offer It In English. Consequently It had to supply a corps of women who woman could talk to the foreign-borat her own door In the language that she was used to hearing Jn the homeland. To teach her English was as essential a factor In her Americanization as to find her a job. Therefore the war council of the Y. W. C. A set out to find her English. A year before the war began In Europe, the leaders of the Young Woman's Christian association foresaw-jusuch a situation, and made ready to meet It They studied the needs of the immigrant They trained skilled American social workers to become familiar with the home habits and to speak the language of the Lett and the Hungarian and the Greek and the other foreign mothers who brought babies and bundles over from Ellis .Island to Battery park. The organization Into which this experiment has developed was named by the Y. W. C. A national board, "The for Young Institute International Women." In terms which these women can understand, it is teaching the foreign-borhow to sew and cook and care for the baby. To girls like Italian Lucia, who confusedly lingered on the station platforms when the draft trains pulled out, the W. Y. O. A Is giving direct assistance. Educated European women, appointed to the regular staff of workers at the camp Y. W. O. A Hostesf Houses are able to talk to the drafted men in their own language, assist them In writing letters home, and la arranging furloughs and little visits to the camp. "The Home Information Service for Foreign Families of Enlisted Men" Is doing practical relief work for the wives and mothers. The purpose of the board Is to help the women folk left behind to understand where their boys are and how they are being treated ; how ihey need home support and cheer, how to send them comforts, and to keep pace themselves by learning English and other things, so that when the boys come home they will not find their women still very and out of sympathy with them.

In their Individual lives there Is no future; in all their world there is no interest but the conquest of the Hun.

She goes on to tell of some of the women and Irls who come to the foyer : d "There is a pretty little round, girl here who Is just beginning to show the effects of the powder. The roots of her hair and her forehead are a pale yellow. The palms of her hands are a deep burnt orange and her hands and arms a- bright, yellow. "There Is an dancer, an Interesting girl who enjoys the foyer and helps entertain the other girls. There is a professional pianist who does her bit at the noon and evening hours. There is one girl who speaks English, whose father was an .Innkeeper; In northern f France. There Is a pretty little girl who Is engaged to a French soldier who still Is rejoicing over the five minutes she had with him recently during an air raid. His mother Is the caretaker here and he Is one of six sons in the war. Two of them are German military prisoners, two are civil prisoners In Germany and two are soldiers In the trenches. Her home in the north of France was destroyed and she escaped with a small bundle of such things as she could carry In her hands. girl who "There is a sweet-face- d was a lacemaker In Valenciennes, who came direct to us from the German-ridde- n section after a hard experience in getting away." These are the women the Blue Triangle Is helping to forget perhaps only for an hour at a time the horrors that have blackened their hearthstones and darkened the world. "My foyer," the secretary writes, "consists pf a hall and two large rooms with cement floors. One has a writing table and paper, pens and Ink, sewing machines, a cupboard with teacups In It, a large table with papers and magazines, easy chairs and my desk. The other room has a piano, more tables, chairs, ironing boards and a VIctrola. There are unframed French pictures and American and French war posters around the room. The walls are painted gray and white." Saturday evenings they sing and dance. "First they have a chorus," writes the secretary, "such as 'Le Reve Passe' or the 'Hymne des Avlateurs or something equally thrilling, and at the final notes of triumph a voice at my ears begs. 'Un polka, mees.' The polka finished, there is a call for the 'Hymne Amerlcaln and we sing the 'Star- -. Spangled Banner,' (Le Drapeau Etoile) In two languages." These foyers have been established in several munition centers In France. Each one has a cafeteria, a recreation-haland rooms fitted up as rest rooms, writing and sewing rooms. At night these rooms are filled- - with French girls learning English, bookkeeping or stenography, that they may work in the offices of the American Expeditionary Forces. In connection with each Is a large recreation field or park. At the request' of the French ministry of war the Young Women's Christian association has opened for the sixteen thousand French women employed In the offices of the : war department ' So successful has been the foyer work In France that a call has come from England to the American Y. W;. C. A to, bring its Blue Triangle huta' and foyers across the channel. The English Y. Wi 0.

The instructions indicate that the entire "War Savings issue is to "be hereafter conducted under the Jurisdiction of the Federal Reserve banks In behalf of the United States Treasury Department. TMs action was made necessary because of the resignation of F. A. Vanderllp as chairman of the National "War Savings Organization. Hon. Rolla Wells, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, in an interview "Wednesday, stated that he had received definite instructions from Washington to take charge of all Activities in the Bale of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates in the Eighth Federal Reserve District. This trill necessitate considerable reorganisation to conform with the geographie cal lines of the Eighth District. the Thrift Stamp and War Savings campaign has been carried on through state directors, without regard to the geographical lines of the disHere--tofor- been done that modest, truth-lovinsorely beset nation of Germany. We are made to understand that words speak louder than doeds, for we, have it from the Crown Prince himself', as stated a few days ago in Budapest: We do not want to annihilate our enemy we mean to hold our own and' not let ourselves be annihilated. How unjust we have been in believing that Germany wanted to annihilate anyone or anything. It was pure and simple. Der Tag meant the day Germany should have to defend her honor againBt a malicious world. "Deutschland Tiber was only the expression of a desire for a long and prosperous life. That gigantic bristling murder machine that marched through Belgium and smashed its way toward Paris was but the raising of a hand to ward off a Fourth Loan Supersedes War Savings. Mr. Wells stated' that it was too early to announce definite plans, but that the work of reorganization will be taken up at the close of the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. He further stated, however, that it is absolutely necessary that any aggressive selling campaign of War Savings Certificates cease from now until after the close t the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. The War Savings county and city organizations are requested to with the Liberty Loan Organization, in order that the campaign may "be successful and that there may "be so confusion in the two selling movements. Advertisements, public meetings and all campaigns for the aggressive sale of War Savings Certificates onnst be discontinued temporarily, in order that all energies may be duly employed in the sal'vjfLIberty Bonds. In act, hereafter the' W organizations will be closely related under one leadership. Mr. Wells stated that at the earliest .possible date due notice of bis jurisdiction will be given to all War Savings workers, but requests in the that this statement be given due publicity in the Eighth Federal Re serve District and be accepted as his official statement. Assured. The state, county and city chairmen of the War Savings organizations have been exceedingly helpful in instilling In the minds of the people the necessity of Baving for the benefit of our nation. A tremendous amount of these securities have been sold, and the leaders of the War Savings Organization are deserving of great praise. It Is hoped that in the reorganization the cood work will continue and that the cervices of a large part of this organization may again be available. Mr. Wells was asked if this meant that no Thrift Stamps or War Sayings Certificates would be for sale during the Liberty Loan campaign. "Emphatically no," replied Mr. Wells. "Thrift Stamps and War Sav ings Stamps can be purchased as heretofore, but all public solicitation must cease during the conduct of the Liberty Loan campaign. The importance cf the sale of Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds cannot be too strongly emphasized. Six billion dollars for our nation is a tremendous sum of money, and $250,000,000 for the people of the Eighth Federal Reserve District is a correspondingly heavy loan. Success can only come through the of all. It is therefore vitally necessary that there should be but one aggressive campaign during the period M the Fourth Liberty Loan. The greater need of our nation must take precedence." te in-leri- m trict. VICTORIES , Isn't it thrilling to read of the enemy being drjven back?
