MACH ship has a welfare fund derived from
II eral sources and is spent in many ways.
- There is but one must that goes with the
spending of that money. 1t MUST give happiness.
l do not wish to bettle the must of the fund, but
never have l body of men together who
could get much happiness for as little effort as
those dear bluejackets. Their heathful. busy lives
their youth-the Navy is place Of youth-keep
them enthusiastic and natural There is no re-
strant upon the emotions in times of play, pre-
lenses, conventions to control laughter. They
have complete happiness because they can be alb
solutely natural
shall not go into the organization of the fund,
but it is in safe hands and is wisely spent with an
accounting to every man on ship of where the
money went. 1t comes from the profits of the can
teen, the laundry, the barber shop and from the
special dues of athletic associations. 1t is fairly
large fund on ships where the quota of men is
large; but 1t isn't large enough That is where the
Y. M. c. has such bully chance to give happi-
to the men of the fleet.
Movie On Ship
| Wish l could take you to movie on the ship
and let you see and hear the JOY the happiness
and the wholesomeness there. I would take you
out to of the newer ships-thes Pennsylvania
where the movies are best. After reaching the deck
we would walk way forward where there is screen
of dashed above the great 14-inch guns. The
benches which dining chairs and church
pews loaded down with boys in white. Many
stand in-groups back the ships rail or by the
band (Uncle Sam gives every ship band). Before
the show begins-7:3O p. m. is the usual hour
the boys sing sing boys who wholesome and
happy ought to sing Sometimes the piano can be
heard above the volume Of their voices, but more
often it is completely drowned.
Then the lights go out; the hush~is tense The
feature has already been announced at mess by
word Of mouth AS soon the name of the star
or stars is finished the screen, there is wild ap
plause. Then men have their favortes Doug

TIE New SeleCtipe QUESTIONABLE.

The reading of the QUESTIONABLE that is soon to
be mailed to all the registered under the selec-
tive service but not yet called for service dis
closes the fact that theswar department officials
have arrived at a much greater degree of efficiency
in making effective the purpose of this law than
was manifest under the call for the first increment
That the initial operation of the law should be
attended by some confusion. inconsistency and even
hardship in certain cases was to be expected. 1t
something entirely new in the processes of our
government and affected so many millions of cit
liens that its very magnitude prevented it from
running smoothly at the beginning.
The law as originally contemplated had two
great objects, namely service and selection. The
first operation of the measure, however brought the
required quota of men for service but because its
processes new, it's selective aim was not
brought strikingly to the fore
But now the QUESTIONABLE just issued has made
selection the chief feature, balancing we'll the need
of men in the army with the need of men at home
both for the support of dependents and for the
maintenance of the Industrial commercial and agr-
cultural life of the nation.
Five classes are designated the men in the first
class to service first and the other classes to be
called as the classes above them are exhausted In
telgent discrimination is disclosed in the way the
members of each class are chosen. They are
ranged according they are fitted and circum-
stanced for early call to the colors In this
every man has his place and his place is assigned
to him according to the needs of the nation.
The QUESTIONABLE has been prepared with great
dscernment and should be read carefully by every
registered man. for it makes specific demands of
him with which he should become familiar at once

WHY TO SAVE FOODS Breads That Will Save Wheat

It's organization was based the feudal sys-
tenn in its worst form, consisting Of three classes
the nobility, the priests and medicine men and the
common people. ALI the land belonged to the
chief, who distributed 1t according to his whims
among the nobility, and the nobility in turn dis
tributed it among the common people. In gov
erning the people the chief and his mobiles were
aided by the priests who, being in direct commu-
nication with the gods, we're very powerful.
These early Hawaiian gods, moreover, were
most exactng, and thus served to maintain strict
discipline. They became offended on the slight
est Vrovocation, and a tabu system, consisting of
a long list of things forbidden by the gods,
enforced by the priests. For example, 1t dis
pleased the gods for and women to eat IN
the house, and any woman found guilty of
entering a mans eating house was punishable
with death. Women also were forbidden to eat
= bananas, cocoanuts and pork. Neither certain
nights could they step into canoes. The gods were
also made very angry If any member Of the COM

SO the common people lived in daily fear Of their
lives, for II they disobeyed of these regula
tions, consciously unconsciOusly, they were in
immediate danger Of being offered to the gods

Editorial Echoes

Darwin now shares with Nietzsche the doubt
full honor of inspiring Prussanism in its assault
on the liberties of the world-Darwin with his
hypothesis the survival (as Germany puts IT. of
the strongest, and the supposed suggestion in his
doctrine that the breeding of fierce soldiers is the
key to national pre-eminence in the worlds af-
fairs. But just both parties in the world war
can, if they like claim that Nietzsche is on their
side-hater of Prussans and of all Prussiansm as
he certainly was yet author Of the ''superman'
theory-so the Darwinians may point out that &C
cording Darwin, il is the fttest and not neces-
sary the strongest physically or materially that
survives, and fitness may reside much in pa

THE CLOUD.
BY DR.. Frank Crane.

Over the sky Of the world is black cloud.
It's shadow lies upon every soul. Brave men blanch
at its hideous lightnings. Women cringe at Its
ominous thunders.
The unbelievable has come true The inpos-
sible has happened. The frghtful fact has outrun
imagination.
The great war is the largest spiritual incre-
ment of the minds Of men today. 1t is in the
back of every brain 1t sleeps In every SOUL II
last topic before go to bed. When awake
in the night we hear the Of the guns In
France echoing in our fancy. When We sink to
sleep 1t is to dream Of the detailed horrors Of
which we have read.
Like a monomana the war obsesses the uni
versal mind. 1t is ghost in every family closet.
It is spectre clutching every woman's heart 1t
is evil eye fixed upon every child 1t Is
threat at every mans business. Its robber hand Is
in every banks treasure, reaches toward every
housewives store, and grasps at every farmers
crop.
1t is as though hell had vomited forth in a 81
gantic volcano, and the smoke had covered the
heavens, and the burning ashes and lava drop
ping down all mankind
No one escapes. A million young men leav-
ing shop and field and school and taking up
the hard life of the soldier in the sixteen canton
ments. For every Of them a woman's heart
= is anguished In how many homes little children
are praying for the father that has gone away!
How many mothers weeping at midnight and
smiling bravely in the morning
Yes; those guns that roar their decorating cho-
rus in France vibrate in every home in England,
in every moujik's cabin in Russia in every human
habitation in America, in Australia, In New Zea-
land, in Japan, in China, in the sunny fields Oh
Italy, in the Iowlands of Holland.
Surely the great beast of the Apocalypse has
arisen and reigns his forty and two months, hav
ing a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies
and causeth all, both small and great, rich and
DOOR free and bond, to receive mark In their
right hand, or in their foreheads."
Against the cloud arrayed the forces OF
sunlight Against the beast all the clans of honor
truth and justice gathering. This is no time
for divided loyalty. Let us have no more argu-
ment no more indecisiOn. If ever God has spoken
It is now He calls every and woman in
America to join His ranks. For He is marching
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall
never call retreat;
He is sitting out the hearts of men before
His judgment-seat;
Oh, be swift my -Oul, to answer Him! Be
tubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching

Stricter Safeguards Against
Alien Enemies.

The announcement from Washington that
President Wilson is soon TO issue proclamation
requiring all alien enemies in this country to reg
lister, portends the adoption of more precau
lions by this government against the recurrence or
incendary fires and other crimes by German
agents. ...
The nation recognizes that the adherents Of
Germany will stop at no outrage in this country
o anywhere else and yet It has been slow to adopt
the only kind of that outlaws will respect
Its practices heretofore have been remote
from anything of that nature. But now for its
own self-protection and for the safeguarding OF
its support of its fighting men, it must make effec-
tive the repression of enemies that within its
borders, and the measures to be adopted must have
in them teeth and claws enough to attain the de-
sired end.
The destruction of munition plants means
blow to our men in the trenches, for their
safety and their effectiveness against the enemy
depend on abundant and ever ready supply of
ammunition The burning of warehouses or docks
where government food supplies stored means
by just so much defeat of all the nations great
plans for food conservation. 1t is exasperating to
the last degree to think that the labor of
farmers, OF millers the sacrifice of our citizens
who are shortening their food allowance, that the
supply of our soldiers and those Of our allies NAV
be heightened should thus go for naught. 1t force
upon us as a nation the conclusion that must
find way of conquering our enemies at home be-
fore we expect to conquer them abroad. I'm
doubtedy the national government should and will
make special efforts to detect the dastards that
would work such destruction and will make their
punishment fit their crimes. 1t should be remem-
bered too, that this is endeavor in which every
one may help. Says the Country Gentleman in this
connection:
Nothing save shipping, is at present more
important than our food supply, and the most
important item in the food supply is grain.
millions of bushels of grain will be coming
into the elevators and -four mills. There it
will be particularly open to destruction by
fire. Local police organizations seldom
equipped to handle such a situation. Private
watchmen seldom have adequate powers
backing for such work.
The Federal authorities have not over
looked the possibilities and the insurance COM
panies are very active, but there is need for
may yet be work for many a company of the
homeguards.
With the muntion plants always subject of
prey it will dnquestionably be the case that
stored grain will be the particular mark for some
time to come for the destructive work of German
spies Every citizen and every organization
should lend the authorities both state and national
all the aid and cooperation in their power Much
valuable and effective work for the winning of the
at home.
