TERMS—IN ADVANCE ONE YEAR *-f° 1 SIX MONTHS 75 Entered in the Postofflce at T\ atar town N Y., i- Second Class Matter AN ODD CAMPAIGN — The political conditions this year are so peculiar that it will be difficult to draw any definite conclusions as to their effect on the election; but on the other hand, very easy to find some evidence for almost any con- clusion. The interferance with the usual campaign methods lias reduced them to almost nothing. The brass band features have been almost wholly lacking. So the voter is left more to •himself to make up his own mind im influenced. Will that result in better judgment on hia part due to more le- flection: or will j t result in poorer judgment due to' lack of aroused in- terest and proper guidance? The answer the winner and the loser will make are, of course, ob- vious. But disregarding the opinions of those who win and those who lose, of the campaign hacks and the al- way willing volunteers who are cut Off from the soft money of election- iBring work, is there not already a demonstration that there is a great deal of unnecessary campaign work done—wasteful and worthless expendi- ture of time and money through fear that the opposition may arouse more enthusiasm and catch a few stray votes that are swept along with any current that can engage them \ It would seem so. Voters are read- ers and know the issues. Voters have more or less experience and can judge ^ of the personal qualifications of can- didates. Then voters are largely men •who will vote their party tickets any- way and independent voters who have decided early in a campaign how they Will vote. The latter, in the absence .of great or startling issues developed during the campaign, are not in- fluenced by parades, rallies, tons of campaign literature sent through the mails. And they are the voters who decide elections. * l They v are much\ more influenced by the record of Governor.-Whitman for the past four :«fears than by any promises of hi? campaign committee as to his future conduct. They are much more influenced by the riot of wastefulness, extravagance, incompetency and crime that have marked the ascendency of Tammany for years in New York City and that made the administrations of Dix and Sulzer a blot cm the fair name of this State throughout the Union, than they are by the agreeable personality and undoubtedly ability of Al Smith, who could not give the State good ^government if he^ wanted to, with the Legislature and the departments un- der Tammany control. Those who remember the stench that arose from the good roads con- tracts let under Dix and Sulzer are not likely to allow a repetition. And a brass band parade from here to Har- lem -will not convince anyone that Tammany rule means any change in methods. MUC H THE SAME — In its latest note the German gov- ernment says: \The German government protests against the reproach of illegal and in- humane actions made against the German land and sea forces ana thereby against the German people. Tor the covering of a retreat destruc- tion will always he necessary and they are carried out in so far as\ is permitted by international law The German troops are under the most strict instruction to spam private property and to exercise care for the population to the best of their abilit\. Where transgressions occur in spite of these instructions the guilty are being punished. - \The German government further denies that the German navy in sink- ing ships has ever purposely destroyed lifeboats with their passeiigers.\ After these statements Uo conclu- sively demonstrating that f\e German government still has the same stand- ards of truth as formerly, and that it still persists in its delusion that it can ^ake mis-statements and be believed, further statement that the German r nment is no longer autocratic s realy representative in the je category with so many of the • ffusions from Berlin—interesting and very probably untrue. WELD SEVEN WAR WORK AGENCIES INTO RELIEF ARMY Great Organizations Which Are Helping to Keep Up the Morale of Fighting Millions Unite in Campaign for $170,500,000. With millions of American men on war fronts, in training camps and on the seas and with thousands of Ameri- can women on foreign soil, all engaged in the stupendous task of making the world safe for democracy, a great duty devolves upon those who remain In the United States,—the duty of send- ing Home to those who have put Home behind them for the period of the war. The agencies through which this, can be accomplished are joined In the United War Work Campaign. From being given the cigarette or chocolate bar' with which he stays his hunger in the fury of battle, to the theatrical entertainment or the'ath- letic games, which relax him into nor- mal comfort after weeks of terrific combat, the American fighter is de- pendent upon'the continued efforts of the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., tho National Catholic War Council and K. of C, the War Camp Community Serv- ice, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. To carry on this work the combined welfare organiza- tions are seeking a fund of $170,500,- 000. \ The Y. M. C. A. provides 538 huts in American training camps and more than 800 in the war zone as centres which the fighters can use as clubs, schools, theatres, stores, churches, li- braries and writing rooms. More than 7,000 men and women had been sent overseas or approved .for overseas work by early autumn and 3,8?2 <r>ere serving in American camps at home. Y. M. C. A. huts are the canteens of the American Expeditionary Force and are the theatres where the American entertainers, sent over by the \Y ap- pear. Noted American public men and •clergymen speak in the huts. Classes are conducted there. Millions of letters are written there on paper provided free by the \Y.\ Physical directors of the \Y\ teach and spread mass ath- letics, using material furnished free by the organization. - The Y. W. C. A. does similar work for the thousands of American women in war work overseas—signal corps telephone operators, nurses and French munition workers. It provides cafeterias, rest and recreation centres, entertainment and reading * for these women and girls. T^he Y. W. C. A.'s outstanding con- tribution to soldier welfare work in training camps was the establishment of Hostess Houses, where the soldier or sailor may receive his mother, wife, sister or sweetheart In the surround- ings and atmosphere of the best homes. •The National Catholic War Council co-ordinates all Catholic welfare work in support of the government and through the K. of C. provides club- houses for our fighters in all Ameri- can .training camps,,as well as having seventy-five centres In France and three in England. In their huts the K. of C. provides entertainlngment, movies, boxing bouts, educational work t religious services, free station- ery, reading matter and writing rooms. In France their rolling canteen ac- companies the American army, their secretaries march with the troops, giv- ing away cigarettes, cookies, choco- lates, soap and towels. The K. of C. had 300 workers in France at the beginning of autumn, with 450 more passed by the govern- ment and 200 others signed up. At the same date they had 468 secretaries in American training camps, 150 build- ings, fifty-six more in the course of erection and contracts let for fifty more. War Camp Community Service functions exclusively in America, its special mission being to \surround the catnps with hospitality.\ In place of leaving the soldier or sailor to the promiscuous companions and diver- sions formerly his lot, the organiza- tion obtains for him the best to be had in communities adjoining eamps or through which he passes. W. C. C. S. obtains for him invita- tions to dine, bathe or spend the day in the best homes. It introduces him to the best women and girls at social gatherings, church entertainments, theatre parties. It arouses communi- ties to provide concerts, athletic con- tests and other wholesome diversions for the soldier, and to drive out or discourage the vicious elements which have been historic camp followers. The Jewish Welfare Board is corre- lating the strength and purposes of 100,000 Jrwish soldiers, sailors and marines with tl.;r of tin- « •utile sol- diers. The board tearing the English language, American civics and ideals to thousands of young Jewish men who were inducted im.i sen, ice afior only a few years' re-' 1 •••.•? in ihis country.

They are much less sub- ject to diseases than are rabbits. For all purposes, except exhibition, the only kinds of guinea pigs that should be grown are the smooth- haired varieties. These are of several colors. If guinea pigs are raise^ for table use, light-colored kinds are to be preferred; if for scientific pur- poses, color is of little importance, -Badk u$ the Beys Gverltiere YM.C/1'YWCA.^NatiQnal CatholkWar Comicil - Kaf C - Jewi A Welfare Board \War Camp Community Service - Ame^can Library Association- Salvation-Army - QffllED WARF03K C4M?AI%v-i NOVEMBER UM8* y books contributed by the American J Reople the association bought 660,271 ' books, mostly technical, of which 198,- 267 were sent overseas. More than 1,500,000 books of all kinds have been assigned to libraries in Y. M. C. A., K. of C. or Salvation Army huts in the war zone, a similar number being dis- tributed in American training camps, while half a million are on warships or transports. The association has erected and operates forty-one library buildings. \*\ The Salvation Army, with 1,210 workers, principally women, overseas, has won the affection of the fighters. Its 501 huts, rest and reading rooms are popular gathering places for the soldiers. The doughnuts fried by Sal- vation lassies In huts or trenches and given to the men have become famous around the world 1 . The Salvation Army gave forty-four ambulances to the American and Allies' armies and in many other ways gives constant un- selfish service. 58 JEWISH WORKERS GOING \OVER THERE\ Col. Barker Bids Godspeed to the Graduates of Train- ing School. , The whole-souled co-operation be- tween the seven great organizations working for the happiness and welfare of our soldiers and sailors was re- cently illustrated at the graduation exercises of the tenth class of the Jewish Welfare Board's Training School in New York. Col. William S. Barker, who went to France represent- ing the Salvation Army with the first contingent of our troops and has been \over there\ fifteen months, was the principal speaker and wished the fifty- eight Jewish workers of the class God- speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi- nent Jewish attorney and philanthro- pist of New York, lauded the work of the Salvation Army among the boys at the front. \What our fighting boys need is in- spiration and heart and character in those who are there to help them,\ declared Col. Barker. \You will rep- resent in the camps and overseas the Ideals and standards of the Jewish faith, and It is up to you above all things to be consistent in your re- Ugious practices. Practice what you preach. That, I am sure, has been the secret of our own success. If you live up to the principles of your faith and giye what you have to give from a heart big with love, the boys will re- spect you, whether they be Protestant, Catholic or Jew.\ The newly graduated field workers will make a total of 260 men doing field work in our camps and naval training stations under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board. The Board has about fifty \huts\ In the various camps and maintains centers in all large cities where soldiers and sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A headquarters has recently been estab- lished in Paris, and 100 men are being recruited here for overseas work. There are now nearly 125,000 Jews serving in the army and navy.

America's answer will be another triumphant announcement that we are in this war as one people and as one na- tion to see it through to victory. Into the splendid work of sustain- ing the moraie of our fighting men the great social organizations of America have thrown themselves. The American people will raisefthe sum they ask^—generously and gladly.\ CATHOLIC BOYS JOIN WAR WORK CAMPAIGN Girls, Too, Will Stand With Them Behind Every Fighter at the Front. To put behind every Catholic fighter in France the support of one boy or girl in every parish throughout the United States is the plan of the Na- tional Catholic War Council for back- ing the Victory Boys' and Victory Girls' \Earn and Give\ Division of the United Work War Campaign to raise $170,500,000 \for the boys over there\ during the week of November 11-18. Through diocesan, county and parish organizations, the rallying of one youngster for every man who has gone to war in every community is already under way. By their own earnings, and not by contributions, it is expect- ed that these sturdy little sponsors for the boys abroad will each raise at least five dollars for the joint wel- fare work of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Coun- cil, including the Knights of Colum- bus, War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board, American Li- brary Association and Salvation Army. Boys and girls in every Catholic parish throughout the United States are already being picked to represent each fighting man who has left their church for the front. In every home that flies a service flag little brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, are eagerly volunteering to look out for the share of their family fighter in the huge joint welfare campaign for all the boys abroad. BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS SUJjP LIEDBY A. L A. English Camp Shows the Good Work of That Organization for Our Boys. Something like 13,500 pieces of sta- tionery are distributed daily among 4,000 enlisted men by Uriah B. Bru- baker of Iola, Kas., as librarian at the Y. M. C. A. writing tent, Woodley Rest Camp of the American Expendi- tionary Forces in southern England. The number of tro»-p^ at this camp varies from 3,000 to 0,000. This single detail Indicates why it Is necessary for the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council and K. of C, War Camp Community Service, Jewish Welfare Board and Salvation Army have to furnish 125,- 000.000 sheets a month for soldiers' letters. Hundreds of books are taken out in this small camp, books furnished by the American Library Association and handled by tho Y. M. C. A. Must of the demands are for a good class of fic- tion. Thirty American newspapers are. received there daily. One hundred and fifty magazines are in use daily and 400 pieces of athletic equipment fur- nished by the \Y\ are pur to good use. 800 WOMEN NEEDED BY SALVATION ARMY Commander Evangeline Booth Says War Relief Work Must Be Extended. Commander Evangeline Booth, lead- er 1 of the Salvation Army in the Unit- ed States, has been suddenly called upon to furnish 800 additional war work women for France. The request Is contained in a report just' received by her from Col. William A. Barker of the Salvationist forces, whom she sent to France over a year ago to es- tablish hutment and geneiVil war relief work with the American troops. \We will do all wo can to fill this demand,\ said Commander Booth when discussing the approaching United War Work Campaign, \and the need Itself should impress the American public all the more with the absolute necessity for sustaining and enlarging the war relief work of the seven or- ganizations, besides the noble Red Cross, now merged for a drive for funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast machine for human relief, and each is indispensible, serving its particular elements in its own way. \The Salvation Army was born in hardship, reared in privation and trained to every phase of human mls- fi \ und how to cope with it. Perhaps that accounts in some degree for the success our work has attained and for which we are thankful. \We are of the common people, and we toil on a practical basis. We learn- ed the lesson of how to do it In the Boer war, when we stood at the side of Britain's troops and weathered it out to the end. We have been tried by fire, and the mothers and fathers of America, as in other countries, trust the Salvation Army to do the thing they would like to do for their men if they but had the chance. . \With 1,210 trained workers at the front, operating from 420 huts and dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing, has done and will continue to do its best for the cause of humanity and Liberty.\ CURE FOR BLUES NEAR THE GAMPS Community Service Takes Place o^ Mother, Friends and Home for Soldiers. Ten young officers of the Student Army Training Corps of the Universi- ty of Detroit recently applied for a furnished house and a housekeeper who would not be a servant, but, as one young officer expressed it, \the sort of woman io whom the boys can call out 'Hello, mother!' when they come in the front door.\ Homesickness is the malady for which War Camp Community Service supplies innumerable cures. \We've got your number,\ says the W. C. C. S. to the homesick boy from camp with leisure to spend in any one of the three hundred towns scattered over the country. While he's wonder- ing what on earth he'll do with him- self when he gets there, not knowing a soul in tow T n and with a limited per- centage of his \thirty per\ in his pock- et, along comes a friendly printed card from the local branch, of his own lodge announcing a reception that night es- pecially for soldier members. By the same mail the Methodist church senile an announcement of all its meetings, addressed to him, with This Means You printed at the bottom. How did they know lie was a Methodist? He had forgotten about the little \Personal Card\ he made out at The adjutant's request during his first day in camp when it was only one of the endless details in the round of dentists and doctors and general , confusion. The W. C. C. S. had not only his num- ber, but his name and address, his home town, the name of the school he'd gone to and a good bit about the things he was fondest of doing--each fact written into a little blank on the card especially for it.

We had plenty of writing paper and envelopes for free distribution, and chocolate, cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco, cigarettes, rezor blades, tooth paste and things of that kind for sale. American war service workers were busy everywhere. We found Sal- vation Army lassies making doughnuts for the boys and K. of C. secretaries giving help. Books furnished by the American Library Association were to be seen on all sides. \Hearing firing at a distance, we drove down the road and found a score or so of men at machine gun practice. The officer gave the men half an hour recess to buy goods. \At another place we came in sight of a lieutenant drilling a platoon. I said to the lieutenant: 'How soon be- fore you dismi.-s the company? We have Y. M. C. A. goods for sale.' \He said: 'Right now. Sergeant, dismiss the company!' \And ten seconds later the company was in line waiting to buy goods from our traveling 'Y.' Grateful is no name for it.

The loss of four weeks just now is sure to be a serious handicap to the schools of the city. Already plans are being evolved that will make it possi- ble to overcome the loss. All is ready to open the schools at any moment the health authorities give the word. Some of the teachers have been sick, hut they have re'eov- eied. It is expected that the Board of Health will allow the schools to open at the earliest possible moment com- patible with public safety. It is probable that a part of the lost time can be recovered by a short- ening of the Christmas vacation, but at the best there will be a great loss. It is also possible that more hours in the day can be utilized to push the pupils forward in preparation for the midyear examinations. Building Concrete Yards iC, A.
