If Linn chapter goes over the top
with nine boxes of hospital garments
and 13 boxes of surgical dressing
each month it means WORK. To
quote from the Stars and Stripes, the
official newspaper of the A. E. T.:
"Our British allies when they talk
of 'doing their bit' mean 'doing tha
best that ia in them' giving their all.
Their traditional reticence and mod
esty makes them refer to it aa their
'bit.' Unfortunately, too many people
on the other side of the Atlantic, we
fear, taking that word bit at its lit
eral value, have boasted of 'doing
their bit,' giving their mite, when they
ought to have been ashamed of Its
tininess. This war la not a nickel-In-
the-plate-on-Sunday affair, nor a $6
for residents $3 for non-residents af
fair, nor a sewing class twice a week
affair. It's a war that demands every
ounce of everyones' energy, every
cent of everyone's surplus, every sec
ond of everyones' available time.
"Thinking of it in any other war
is little less than stabbing in the back
those men of our who are in the
tranche in Lorraine, who are keeping
the perilous vigil far out at sea.
"Do your bit with bit meaning all,
is Briton's war alogan.
"America's should be, 'DO YOUR
DAMNDEST.' "
This is the wsy the men bi battle
feel about the war.
