Q.-The man with whom
I have been keeping COM
pany has enlisted. We have
not been engaged, but we
care deeply for one another.
The parting is very hard,
and last night he asked me
to marry him before he goes.
What is your opinion Of such
hasty marriage? Should
l consider it? G.. P.
A.-The haste of the marriag,
Is not the matter to be consid
cred. The issue is this: do YOU
love the man? If you do, yOu
will act on the impulse of youl
heart and marry him despite AM
advice to the contrary. You will
be proud to become the bride Of
a soldier. But you must be very
sure that il is true love, and no,
the glamOr of romance or the fer
vor of patriotism that puts tn,
thoughts of marriage into YOU
head.

some trouble in dealing with the speed
lovers. With this new arrangement
Of having only a State number it IS
very difficult to locate a car and the
police have been unable to stop the
speeder. He just moves on and you
can t locate him. But the Greenville
police have a plan which stops them.
They send one man ahead and when
the speeder refuses to stop the man
ahead just throws some planks with
spikes in them across the road and
the speeder is forced to stop.
1t is a strange thing to us that
in this Christian age and the age of
law and order that there should be
so much wilful violation of the law
and that men should have so little re-
gard for the rights of the other fell
low. The machinery of human ma
ture is running wrong somewhere. It
needs oiling up and adjusting AMI
maybe that is what this world war is
for, to call a halt and get the ma
chinery properly adjusted once more.

Lord Northcliffe says that the war
has just begun And that it is only
by an absolute mobilization of man
power and machine power that it can
be won. Mai. Kilburn said it would
not be won by bravery or dashing,
but that the allies were up against
the most powerful and best organized
fighting machine that the world lad
ever seen, and it would be necessary
to bring against the machine better
machine and more powerful ma
chine. Mr.. Northcliffe is also against
this country making the mistake that
England made by its censorship Of
the press and the suppression of the
facts. We just as well face the
facts, them there Germans are not
yet whipped. Neither are they starr
ed. And that in order to win the war
the United States has got to furnish
the money, the munitions, the food
and the men In fact she has got
to do about the whole job, and the
sooner we get through with the job
the sooner the war will be oyer.s

Red blooded men will be accepted
as volunteerA by u. S. army now.
Slackers come later. Which are you?''
This is the wording on a. poster in
the postottice calling for volunteers

unfortunately worded. Surely the
authorities do not mean by this that
all those who do not volunteer are 10
be termed slackers. Especially when
the authorities were so bent on pass

certainly it could not be meant that
those who are drawn in the selective
draft are slackers. Sorry We saw it.

mission of Secretary Daniels our par

through the grounds. There are no"
about 5000 boys there in training,
the flower of our young manhood. 1t
makes me Just a little sad to vie"
these training stations. Somehow

q terrible thing to take our best man
hood and our best resources to hgnt
war with, and I have feeling that
our civilization is still failure when
it has to be maintained by the sword.

United States and are getting ready
to go abroad to engage in the war.
