ENGLAND CALLS FOR
100000 VOLUNTEERS

London, April 30.--"I want at
least 100000 volunteers.
Neville Chamberlain, England's
Director of National Service, has be-
gun his "Spring Drive"
Great Britain's army will require
large drafts of men during the COM
ling summer, to replace those killed,
big Push" on the Western Front.
Chamberlain believes that these re-
cruits can only be found in industries
which are essential to the war. Prac-
tically every Briton of military age
and fit, not engaged in an indispen-
sable occupation has put on, or been
forced into, khaki. The coming levy
to replenish the fighting forces of the
Empire will call up men employed in
industries of primary Importance.
Substitutes for these men, there
fore, must be found at once.
Not only must their places be fill
ed, by the tireless Director is plan
ring to extend National Service in
many directions. Lloyd George has
said. and all England knows, that
such service, together with rigid food
economy and reciprocal methods on
the high seas, is vital factor in the
war against the submarine blockade.
If National Service slackens through
failure of the nations manhood to
respond to the call, the output Of
food, clothing, and all the essentials
will be seriously diminished.

ONE SIDED.

The first few days which the Brit
ish high commissioners spent ii
Washington produced no little con.
fusion in the distinguished visitors
minds. The chief of the mission
Mr.. Balfour, is Tory in politics al
home. Yet he is serving in the Cab.
met under Liberal Prime Minister
who holds Office by virtue of a Radi
cal majority in the House of Com.
mons. 1t is many years since Mr.
Balfour has held Office in virtue oil
the political supremacy of his own
party; and he now has the portfolio
lof foreign affairs because, in the face
|of war, Great Britain modified tc
the carrying on of the conflict not
only her fleet. her men, her money
and her material resources, but her
political power as well. First, un.
der Asquith, and later under Lloyd
George, the best minds of British
Conservatism were called into coun-
Gil by the Liberal government. A
unified England is carrying on the
war
Yet at Washington. Mr.. Balfour
found none but Democrats on guard.
He was invited to dine at various ia
bles, where he sat among Democrats
only or chiefly. Whether his confer
ences were political, financial, mill
tary or social, it was always the
same. He came in contact only with
Democrats. Yet Mr.. Balfour is a
scholar in politics as much as Mr..
Wilson is. He cannot fail to know
there is an equal number of Repub-
licans and Democrats in our House
of Representatives and in the Sem
ate, as he knows from previous per-
sonal acquaintance, there is a Re-
publican contingent highly respecta-
Bile in numbers and the equal if not
the superior in intellect and patriot
ism to their Democratic associates.
Yet Mr.. Balfour was not brought to
meet any of these men through Off
cial introductions. Had he been an
stranger to Washington
ne would have been justified in
thinking that the nation possessed
none but Democratic statesmen, leg
lslators and administrators, and that
ne was in a strangely one-sided coun-
Try.
And the irony of it is that on the
'ery day that this round of Demo-

| The passing away of l.. c. Gems.
man has made a vacant chair in a
family circle and it has left won
derful influence on the lives of those
in the immediate family and neigh
borhood who knew him best-for to
really know Mr.. Gensman was to
love and honor him.
His was patient and noble life,
lquietly lived, but casting the never
to be forgotten influence on those
who came in contact with his daily
life.
During his retired life he had
been very regular in his. church at
tendance and had given his life un-
|reservedly into Christ's keeping, talk
ed with his friends and neighbours
concerning the strong faith which
he had built in the Master. He also
had deep desire to unite with the
church of his choice, but had been
advised, on account of phycisal
weakness, not to take this step.
He approached death with "con-
science void of offense toward God
and man." and with an unfaltering
trust.
There is an emptiness somewhere
There is the ever vacant chair
OF loving one from out home
For since too weak to work or
roam,
He lent his presence every day
And helped to cheer the darkest
way.
Could we forget his life? 0, No!
For such an influence will grow
We honor kings and presidents,
Why not honor neighbor resi-
dents?
The noble soul that has gone to
Is missed by those who knew him
best
But there's comfort to every one
In that he trusted the Fathers
Son.

THE PRICE OF WAITING.

New York American: And, gentle.
men of congress, the insurance
against disaster and the insurance OF
success is universal military train.
| ing now-not tomorrow, not next
week, not after you have tried some.
thing else, but now, now, now!
Gentlemen, listen to us.
If congress had enacted universal
military training and adequate pre-
lparedness three years ago and appro-
priated one-third of the seven thous-
and millions you appropriated last
Saturday, we would never have en-
tered this war and this war would
have ended last fall.
Why?
Because, if we had been prepared
this last January to throw a trained
and equipped army of 100000 men
into France, and had 100000 re-
serves in training, there would have
been no submarine attacks upon Am
erican ships and no submarine war
fare of any kind to which America
objected.
The decision of the German mill
tary staff to use submarine warfare
at the certain risk of war with us
was based wholly upon the calcula-
ton that they could bring England
to defeat before we could prepare our
military aid to save England.
The German general staff frankly
admits that this is their calculation
and that had we been ready for war
they would have been obliged to re-
frain from submarine warfare.
The argument we have used for
years in persuading, begging and be-
seeching preparedness and universal
military training has been that pre-
paredness for war is the only safe in
surance Of peace-that preparedness
discourages war and unpreparedness
invites war.

SOME UNPLEASANT TRUTHS

Manson Democrat: The food
grabber is worse than the Stacker.
Like a vulture he trains his greedy
eyes on the field of business to dis
Germ what article of food is likely
to be most in demand and then he
prepares to buy all he can of it,
store it away in his bins and hold
it until he can squeeze robbers
ransom for it from those who must
have it to live. The food grabber has
been the curse of Every European
country engaged in the war and now
he is the curse of the United States.
Nothing is being done to stop his
villainous incursion into the food
supply of the country and he is buy
ing butter, eggs, meat, flour, sugar,
coffee, tea, beans, corn, canned goods
and everything he can get his talons
on to place in storage until such
time as he and his co-conspirators
can Shrek PAY or Starve!" at the
people who must eat to exist.
The people are asked to produce
more food and then see it gobbled up
and stored away by traitorous
thieves in order to get more gold to
spend in lavish living.
Congress must at once enact dras-
tic legislation to conserve the food
and fuel supply of the United States
or there will be wide spread distress
and the industries of the country
will be paralyzed. Men cannot be
paid wages enough to enable them
to live if the prices of foodstuffs are
allowed to be manipulated by the
food grabbers hence labor will be
thrown out of employment and in
dustries will be at standstill, for
the limit of profit has been reached
by manufacturers and they will re-
fuse longer to comply with the de-
mands of labor for wages sufficient
to pay the penalty imposed by the
food vultures.
Conserve the food supply of the
nation. Let the government assume
control of the visible food
supply and establish supervision over
future production. Put every coal
mine under government supervision.
Establish rigid censorship over the
use of gasoline and motor fuels. Con-
serve everything. Waste nothing.
And how about traitors? you say.

When peace comes, which God
grant may be soon, when all the
people OF Europe shall be free from
the tyranny of crowns and scepters.
and come from the darkness of bond
age into the light of freedom, as are
now the people of Russia, the giant
republic of the west will have no
apologies for the part it will play
under the providence and guidance
of the Almighty.

10000 bushels of grain was de-
stroyed in an elevator fire at Erie,

said to have started from a hot pull

to prevent such catastrophies. Neg
