Only the government think
logically. The government thinks
not IN terms of sentiment but In
tgures. A father of seven chill
dren is not sent to the front
The separation allowance" is
too great, and IN case of death,
the pension is even greater. Such
father finds employment in the
munitions factory, and another
father, who perhaps is less favor
ably circumstanced, or who has
but two children, is chosen. The
government at least knows of
final accounting, and as long
as it is possible, will take the least
expensive men.
The fact that one is an Ameri
can seemingly raises three ques-
lions Why are we not in the
war9 What do we think of Ger
manyf Why did we let the
deutschland load a cargo here /?
1t is best not to attempt answers
for the more logical one becomes
the more he is looked upon as a
sympathizer TO the Germans.
There are many who are glad
the United States has not enter
ed the war. These point out that
being out of it, we have been In
a position to furnish England
with weapons, whereas if we were
fighting, we would probably have
taken weapons for ourselves first
and thought of England secondly
Others are really glad we are
out of it, because of their own
experience. Such people are
found among the educated class
es. Few actually hate us, al
though all believe we are piling
on extra profits on food stuffs
and munitions.
After all, / am glad to gel

Ireland without war. / like theil

which they wear with a becom-
ingneSs that seems impossible of
sueh short acquaintance. Wo-
men run the trains, busses, ears,
light street lamps, clean stations
and coaches, work III foundries,
and in fact do nearly everything
but drive automobiles. The fact
that no motor ears are driven
save those in government service,
partly accounts for this one
branch of labor being left exclu-
slvely TO the men.
The women are wonderful
They never complain. The men
are not half SO brave, not half so
patriotic. They lack the smile
which though forced, is the saliva
ton of the people. What they
would do without amusements
and diversions L do not know.
There is almost no enthusI-
assn. One sees drilled troops pass
ing in trains every day He sees
recruits filling their places, and
III the night, one sees the trains
of wounded, carrying the grist OF
the battle field to the hospitals
Wounded everywhere, always
wounded. Charity on every hand
for the blind, for the deaf, for
the cripples and orphaned, al
ways charity, but enthusiasm new
er, or rather almost never. Real
genuine enthusiasm might be had
for the asking. Should one, TOR
Instance, in a restaurant SO Tar
forget himself as to order Ger
man fried potatoes, there would
be enthusiasm and plenty OF IL,
but after certain pattern.
Before the work the lace mills

and boys, working three shifts OF
eight hours day.
THE people are now making
mole money than any time VIII
IN the past 90 years. Every fam-
lily who has its head serving at

lowance from the government
In addition the members are

not matter that work is not per
manent or constructive, the
money borrowed or taxed Is
pouring out ON the people, VINO

everyone rushes into the street

During the day scores of cap
