THE RED CROSS AND THE Y. M. C. A.
The Capital Journal is very much interested in the
"war chest" proposal naturally all our citizens are be
cause it concerns all supporters of war activities. It is a
matter that should be thoroughly discussed from every
viewpoint before being adopted or rejected by the
community.
.We are inclined to the view that there are just two
great war activities that should be supported by the
public, first, last and all the time the Red Cross and the
Y. M. C. A. The first of these takes care of the men on
the battle line, the wounded, sick find distressed every
where; the second affords conveniences, entertainment,
encouragement and assistance to the soldiers back of the
lines. Together these great organizations are the mairii
reliance of the soldiers and civilians alike in the war
zone, and the Y. M. C. A. begins its ministrations to tho
soldiers in the training camps of this country.
The Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. must be supported
to the limit of the country s means if that necessity omep .
The welfare of our fighting men and the morale of the
army depend upon these agencies to a very great extent.
Next to the fighting machine itself these are the. most
important factors in waging a successful war under
present conditions.
There may be other worthy movements launched m con
nection with the war but they are of restricted and special
character and not so essential to the welfare of the army,
neither do they have, so important a bearing on the great
object in viewa victory for the hosts of democracy and
freedom. Let those support such movements who are
able to dd so, but the great mass of the people must be
marshalled back of the Red Cross and the Y. M, C. A.
and given to understand that they are doing the next best
thing possible to manning the trenches when they
furnish the funds that keep these organizations actively
and effectively at work wherever and whenever their
activities are needed.

MAY FORCE HOLLAND TO SUBMERGE
' With German cavalry on the Dutch border, it is quite
probable the ravening Prussian beast will fasten his
fangs in the throat of Holland just as he did in that of
Belgian. He is already declaring the lamb s shadow is
interfering with him although the lamb has pointed out
that the shadow points in the other direction, and is pre
pared to jump on and punish him for having a shadow
anyway. At the same time each country has withdrawn
its ministers and are as far at the outs as they can be
without being openly at war. Holland has tried to play
fair, but the Prussian beast does not want fair play, but a
stacked deck and the deal. In other words- Germany
wants the privilege of sending war munitions and sup
plies through Dutch territory to her troops in Belgium
and also to have a port on the Holland coast if Ostend
and Zeebrugge are out of business. Holland could put up
a hard fight and give Germany a great worrying if she
was willing to make the sacrifice and submerge. It may
be she will do this for apparently the only safe place for
nor at this time is at the bottom of the sea.
t Just why more drastic laws should be asked by those

sons, is a mystery. Under the present laws they could

The house yesterday afternoon passed the senate reso
lution for registration of all men who have become 21
feince June 6 last. It is claimed this will add 1.200,000
men to the nation's available soldier reserve. Of these
it is estimated 700,000 will prove physically fit for service
in class one. It will go at once to a conference committee,
as some changes were made in the original resolution and
will then be rushed to the president. From these returns
it is seen that boys are reaching their majority almost as
last as soldiers can be sent to France under present trans

made the porter quite angry by trying
to push by him and get off before he
had taken off the luggage which filled

Ulcer of the Stomach.
Jll
O. 8. Please describe nicer of
the stomach. How lony iocs it take
to get icillf Are there different
kinds, and what medicines and diet
would be tisefulf
This condition comes to these
who are anaemic, who work hard
and are poorly nourished, and ocea
slonally to those whose gaBtric juice
Is acid and corrosive, or who have
some kind of corrosive juice in tho
stomach, from whatever source.
It may be a long time coming on,
and may last for years. There are
different kinds, In tho sense that
there are ulcers of different, size, of
different degrees of discharge and
absorption," and of different degrees
of poisoning and harmfulnesa In
other ways.
In most cases, the ulcer does not
eat through or' perforate the entire
wall of the stomach; for that would
almost certainly mean the occurrence
In such cases of peritonitis, which
usually would quickly have a fatal
Issue.
An accident which is not unusual
with this disease and often Is
serious or fatal, is haemorrhage;
and as it is wont to come on sud
denly, without 'warning. It must
always be anticipated and prepared
for, when ulcer Is knowu or sus
pected. The treatment is principally die
tetic, the diet being composed of
simple substances which may be
easily digested; meat and other
foods which are digested In the
stomach, with the exception of milk,
being excluded.
Medical treatment is also useful In
some Instances, especially such
medicines as may have an astrin
gent and healing tendency, for ex
ample bismuth.
If the diagnosis Is clearly made
out, an operation by a skilful sur
geon will result tn a cure of the
ulcer, but this does not mean that
ather ulcers may not develop.
There ia usually but one ulcer, but
Jthers may be In the course of for
mation and it is quite possible to
sverlook them In the performance of
m operation, ' If the corrosion has
made only slight or moderate pro
gress. ;
Many cases are cured by medical
measures, and It by no means follows
that every case which Is discovered
must be treated surgically.

' Answer This disease Is a rather
rare one. Ii is som-timei inberiteal
possibly always. I do not think;
that you could have it In a very'
severe form if your skin Is clear durJ
ing the warm weather. I should
think It more probable that your
trouble is of the nature of a scalr '
eczema which is quite troublesome
during the winter. If you would
sponge your body every night wltlj
a solution of bicarbonate of soda and
use castor oil freely In keeping your
bowels open, you would obtain a ver
decided relief. ,
