night and lowered the humidity
from 76 to Sc. The weather forecast
PROMISES cooler weather for today
and tomorrw, preceded by thunder
showers today.
Before the relief came the heat
had exadted further large levy on
human lige. Fifty-eight persons were
killed by it in New York City. In
nearby New Jersey cities there was
a death list of about forty. The pros
trations in New York City numbered
more than 800. There were two sui
cides and murder directly attribut'
able to the heat.
with the southwest gale tha
brought relief came violent electric

Greed, Not Labor, Prolonging
the Life Of Booze

! Mr.. President, I believe the liquor
traffic of this country is near its final
doom. Powerful influences may pro-
crastinate the hour, but it neverthe-
less approaches. 1t is in the hour OF
execution, however, that we hear sin
gular and surprising pleas for COM
mutation. 1t is then that ingenuity
searches the realm Of conjecture for
some possible fancy upon which to
hang a claim for mercy.
We have an example of this here
and now in this plea for the working
man, who they say must have his beer
otherwise he will strike and break
his government down even in the face
of the enemy.
The average earnings for the labor
ing man in this country are from $500
to 5000 year Upon that sum in
these times no man can rear a family
in decency, no man can educate his
children and fit them for citizenship
in a republic. Under such wages men
live constantly on the ragged edge of
want and in mortal dread of that ill
ness which may leave them at the
mercy of charity. Now, in the name
of humanity, you will leave them
their drink in order that you may
more successfully take from the wife
and children little more in the way
of taxes, that you may drive them
little nearer the edge of want, that you
may handicap them little more in
their effort to get clothes and an edu-
cation. EX
You would pull s45o,00G,00u out of
labor, out of the scant and meager
homo Of labor that sou may be more

Germany was forced to recognize that
it was the costliest economy.
The classes of 1916 and 1917 were
given an instruction ranging from
to 10 months. While this gave better
results yet by the time the class OF
1918 was called to the colors, Ger
many was again in such straits for
men, that the boys of this class were
brought onto the front again with only
three months of instruction.
The accuracy of the above figures
is confirmed in every capture of pris-
oners large enough to make basis
of comparison.

Young Boys Are Called
To Fight for the Kaiser
By HENRY WOOD

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES
gSermany's last Untouched resources
of men have now been completely ex-
hausted.
To fill up the constant losses in her
lighting ranks, amounting to hundreds
of thousands monthly, only two sourc-
es remain from which she can draw
her boy soldiers of the classes OF
1918, 1919 all called to the colors
from one to two years before their
regular military age, and the wounded
soldiers who are able to return to
the front from the hospitals. This lat
ter category furnishes Germany an
average of $4,000 men per month.
Draws on Her Boys
These facts are established beyond
all doubt by authoritative information
from various confrmatory sources.
With the older classes, called to the
colors with the outbreak of the war,
now largely wiped out, Germany is
making terrible inroads on her boy
classes prematurely called to the front
since August 1914. These youths are
being used to fill up the ranks of the
Snfantry, where young, vigorous and
enthusiastic soldiers are Indispensable
for the launching of attacks. 1t is
here that the greatest losses also oc-
cur.
Younger and Younger
The German infantry at the present
time consists closely to 40 per cent
of the young classes Of 1915 to 1913.
The classes OF 1915 and 1916. both of
which are rapidly dwindling furnish

Is per cent of the infantry in the
is now entirely under the colors fur
nishes another II to Is per cent, while
the class of 1918, which is now arriv-
ing on the front in large numbers
furnishes another 5 to 10 per cent. The
remainder of this class which is still
in the depots constitutes practically
the only reserves which Germany has
left.
To meet this emergency, the class
of 1919 is now under instruction
while the class of 1920 has already
been examined for CONSUMPTION.
The military age in Germany is 20
years. In the case of the class of
1915, it was not called to the colors
until April of that years or at the age,
theoretically, of 20 years and four
months. The class of 1916 was called
to the colors at the age of 10 years
and 81 months; the class of 1917
called at 10 years two months; the
class of 1918 at IS years, 1917 months,
and the class of 1919 at IS years and
six months. The class of 1920, al
though already examined, has not yet
been summoned.
Less Instruction Now
The pressure under which Germany
has been forced to employ these boy
soldiers is also indicated by their per-
iods of instruction. The class of 1915
was thrown into the battlefront with
only two or three months of instruc-
ton, but with such terrible losses,
caused by this inexperience, that even
