j^IXHEUE haa come a great
ijrj. change of feeling about the
War over the man on the atreet
here. We presunf* it applies equal-

one wanted to impreaa' it on oth-
^ era that thia was Europe* war
and it waa up ua to stay at
home and tend to our own knit-
ting This corner could be num-
beild among those Then, came
the change to the effect we should
protect ourselves by furnishing
the Alius with all the supplies
they need 'and forget the hill
This may be leading toward the
feeling as it ditl once before that
We have Mtood it long enough let's j

checking this.
