The Frenchmen use the following arguments in upholding the Y. W. C. A. 1 Women will produce more shells if they are happy, contented.

United States Military Training At Cooper College A Student Army Training Corps has been established by the War Department. Registrants of September twelve, who have THIRTEEN High School Units, may be inducted any time, but the classes are now running and it is to every man's advantage to get in AT ONCE. Registrants of June 5, 1917, or August 25, 1918, may be inducted alter October the fifteenth. These student soldiers will receive uniforms, rifle, room and board, and thirty dollars per month. The Government wants 150,000 of these men in school.

Before I joined the service I always had to have three big squares a day and several light lunches during the day besides. In looking back I can see how foolish and extravagant I was.
