The War Department plans a unified effort to avoid waste of energy and duplication of work as seven war relief agencies launch a national drive with a goal of 170 5 million dollars. Unity is achieved with enthusiastic adoption across agencies and organizations.
Nov 11 marks a nine-day national drive uniting Protestant Catholic and Jewish groups to fund war work for soldiers. Dr. John R. Mott leads a committee including Raymond B. Fosdick and George W. Perkins as the effort consolidates seven agencies into a single appeal. The campaign fields 15,000 workers, operates 1,000 buildings, ships 500 tons weekly, and screens 15 miles of film weekly to support boys in France.
Napoleon stressed morale as crucial as physical strength, noting one contented soldier outweighs three discouraged ones. Seven key agencies support morale to sustain fighting effort and hasten victory, with leaders predicting the drive will go over the top in a larger way than previous campaigns.
The Marine Journal notes Finland's independence from Russia and its long role as a buffer between Russia and Sweden. It outlines Tsarist conquest, 1809 unification under Russia, and from 1890s onward curtailment of liberties, with the 1908 Russian dictatorship and widespread espionage, arrests, and Russification attempts. The piece cites a Finnish population near three million of Mongolian descent.
The piece notes China’s early football history with hair stuffed balls evolving to leather bladder balls by the fifth century. It mentions a rich literature detailing player roles and seventy kick types and records rewards: winners received flowers fruit wine silver bowls and brocades while the losing captain faced flogging and indignities.
The bulletin urges applying work for farm machinery as a way to reduce labor on the farm. A survey in New York shows more usage lowers per acre costs, and that shared purchases of corn binders among neighbors can cut investment per owner. A binder should be used beyond mere necessity to justify its cost and efficiency.
Mrs. Anna Steele Richardson recounts a naval base scene near New York where sailors who lost clothing search their donated garments for letters and addresses to thank the donors. She notes the sailors’ eagerness to express gratitude, proving appreciation beyond the items themselves.
In Singapore ponds residents stock queer fighting fishes cherished by Orientals. When two are placed near each other they fight, flashing color changes from gray green to red and blue. Even two jars with one fish each provoke the combat through the glass.
The government fisheries bureau reports vast beds of razor clams off central Alaska near Cordova. The beds stretch 60 miles long and up to five miles wide, with eight inch long shells ideal for canning. Officials say no other Pacific coast shellfish rivals the razor clam as a delicacy and market prospects look strong.
The Zuni tribe of western New Mexico hosts its annual ceremonial feasts and dances drawing rare tourist visitors. Across generations Zuni youths are famed for extraordinary running prowess, with a history of training dating back a thousand years.
A Providence Journal reader comments on a Boston pest exterminator ad promising to stop orep tition by ante diluvian ants. The note questions the wording and the intent of such marketing while debating the ants’ behavior and the advertiser's rhetoric.
Sir Bernard Mallet, in a Royal Statistical Society address, claims Britain lost over 500 000 potential births during the war while Germany and Hungary shed about 2 600 000 and 1 500 000 respectively. He notes central empire declines stem from worsened health among the poor, while Britain’s poorer classes fared comparatively better than in peacetime.
A quoted exchange notes concern over a man giving advice on stocks while admitting the adviser himself profited half a million from similar schemes. The Birmingham Age-Herald records the irony of warning others yet having personal gain.
A tale recounts Solomon using the legendary stone Shamir to carve metals and stones for the Temple. Djinns aided in quarrying and transporting massive blocks, their labor reportedly noiseless, until a quest ends with the Raven revealing the stone’s source in a distant western mountain.
The article contrasts traditional cradle rocking with modern science claiming mothers should not rock babies. It cites battles and places where soldiers were rocked in infancy, praising sturdy soldiers from Bunker Hill Brandywine Lundy's Lane New Orleans Chapultepec Buena Vista Gettysburg Peachtree Creek.
An analysis of autumn foliage shows leaves contain more sugar and less starch as they redden. Evergreens lose red hues with warmth and green again. Holly and ivy transform leaf sugar into starch in spring. Red coloring likely derives from glucose-tannin compounds formed under bright sunshine and low temperatures, the season's meteorological conditions.
A London bookseller lists Browning's first book at 2200 dollars. The poem's aunt and broader delays kept copies scarce. By 1888 the poet would have sold one for a few shillings, making the immaculate surviving copy valuable today.
