That moat of the men in the
army, at least, men who have not
been in the service very lonj?,
would rather be at home than in
the army, waa ahown at Admir
al, Md., last Friday when out of
05 men, members of the 11th
Trench Mortar Battery, who were
offered the choice to remain in
the military service by transfer
before their unit was demobilized,
not one aBked for that opportuni
ty. That no man wanted to stay
ia not regarded as indicating any
hostile attitude toward military
life, but rather that the men
wanted to get home without de
lay because Christmas is so near.
This oreanization contained only
men recently inducted, and few
had had a chance to acquire love
for the life such as old regular
army men display.
Many men have said that they
might get back in the army aft
er enjoying the libertiea of civil
life for a while. Some admit that
th,ey are thirsty for other drinks
than those available for men in
the service. Others are anxious
to make a little more than $30 a
month. Some want to get night
jobs so they can sleep late in the
morning. Hundreda are anxiou8
to get in the shipbuilding indus
try or the merchant marine ser
vice if they can get in touch with
the agents who came to camp and
said they might pay as much as
$350 a month.
While nearly every man is go
ing back to civil life, all are anx
ious to have the best-looking uni
forms to wear at home during
the period after discharge that
they are permitted to do so. The
camp quartermaster, having
shoes and trousers in abundance,
nut them on sale to men in the
service, and no less than 300
lined up in front of the ware
house to get the bargains. Armv
shoes have become popular and
men bought them for use in the
months to come. Unless there
ia a change in the army regula
tions men must return their is
sued uniforms after four months,
and any clothing they wish for
display they must buy. The pri
ces are very low and some are
getting extra garments because
civilian clothing is comparatively
expensive and by no means durable.

Lloyd George's Tribute To Women.
I am anxious to bear testimony
to the tremendous part played by ;
the women of England in this1
vital epoch of human history. If ;
it had not been for the splendid
manner in which the women came
forward to work in the hospitals
and munition factories, in admin
istrative offices of all kinds and
in war work behind the lines, of
ten in daily danger of their lives,
Great Britain and, I believe, all
the alliep, would have been un
able to withstand the enemy at
tacks of the last few months.
For this service to our common
cause humanity owes them un
bounded gratitude.
Woman's Suffrage.
At a great meeting in Albert
Hall, London, December 9th, at
tended only by women, Premier
Lloyd George made a strong ap
peal for votes for women. Dur
ing his address, he called atten
tion to the fact that the manner
in which the 6,000.000 or more
women of Great Britain vote will
determine the course of her fu
ture legislation. He also declared
himself in favor of placing wo
men on an equality with men in
the matter of work, wages and
marriage laws, as well as suffrage.

Dave Yoa a Blind Baby?
If so do you realize that the
present law of Pennsylvania pro
vides for its blind by sending a
child from the day of its blind
ness, for Bpecial care, mainten
ance and education to this
Arthur Home for Blind Babies,
Summit, N. J. There are 8
Pennsylvania blind children
there now.
This institution which ia Home
Nursery, Hospital and Kinder
garten combined for the blind,
take blind babies and children
too young and too backward to
enter the schools already estab
lished for the older blind.
A mother has no longer reason
to hide away her blind baby be
cause it is helpless, or acts
queerly when compared with a
seeing boy or girl of the same
age. The state will give it a
chance at the Arthur home and
according to the records of the
instituticn, the baby that does
not prove that a chance was all
it needed, is exceptional.
The Pennsylvania law" pro

institution has opened its doors

One can send his blind child to
school now just the same as he
can Bend a seeing child, and it is
advisable to get the baby there
as soon as possible after Decern

as esseutial to keep the baby
normal, as is the mental training
given.
The Arthur Home has the
highest rating possible, A in

It would seem in this day of
