CHICAGO
PRAISED BY
ESCHBACH

INDIANAPOLIS, July 13.-East h
cage had the largest number Of regis
trants in any given district II Indiana,
and that information was sent to the
war department. East Chicago produced
6.55s registrants. There was only one
registration board. so that the entire
city consisted of one district. Mr.. Esch-
bach sent a personal message to Mayor
Frank Callahan Of East Chicago, con-
graduating him on the efficient manner
in which the draft names were compiled.
Gary Citizens Protest.
State conscription officials and other
officials have received messages OF pro-
test from citizens Of Gary for the pro-
portionate number Of men for the draft
put down by the war department for
Gary. AT the time of the registration of
men of military age there was but one
registration board assigned to Gary. and
an enormou amount Of work was done
by the board. The city's registration
was approximately 1900. and when the
time came for the appointment of the
exemption boards Mayor johnson of
Gary. asked that two additional boards
be named because of the large number
of registrants. The war department has
complied with the request and has sent
out Instructions that Gary must furnish
a number Of men for the draft based on
the population as estimated by the num-
Der of registrants.
Tt is contended that the city of Gary
has an unusually large number Of young
men. due to the fact that SO many are
employed in the factories and in the Of
fees Of the steel and other industries.
For that reason the number of young
men in Gary IS out Of proportion to the
population.

Teutonic "CamoufIage" On the Isonzo.

There are three plausible explanations for the
Mackensen drive in the Julian Alps against Cadorna.
They follow:
Hindenburg scheme to break the backbone OF
Itays offensive power, to ruin her morale, to pro-
mote political Generalization at Rome, TO cripple her
armies so that they will be impoent for months to
come, and possibly to give the intricate network Of
Teuton propaganda south OF the Alps the great oppor-
tunity to force the separate peace" idea over.
To revive the tagging spirits of Austria Hungary
and of Bulgaria to convince the doubling Thomases
at Vienna and Sofia that German power is not on
the
To bolster up the tottering citadel Of Junkerdom
in Germany to prepare series OF magnificent VIC
tories TO act as an antdote to the extensive Strategic
retreat" in France and Flanders which the German
high command now to be inevitable as the result
Of the telling blows of Haig and Petain. In other
words, to hoodwink the German people into thinking
that peace with victory will if they only hold
out a little longer.
A comparatively short tr:- will tell whether the
Aackensen stroke is have partial success One
thing certain the tremendous concentration of divs-
ions and artillery the Carso Plateau is vain and
frutes thing unless it has definite objective in view
and is able make it. 1t is hardly worth while merely
as a counter offensive or to stop Cardona. Unless
it has real punch and follow through to it, unless
it can break up and dsspate the entire Italian strategy
of the present campaign 1t IS failure purely local
lied success though it be accompanied with
big bagful of prisoners and OF guns is slender COM
pensation for the big gamble that Hindenburg has
made
What is this gamble? 1t is stripping the Russian
and Runanian fronts of troops of ignoring the danger
Gus situation ON the Western front in order to
ashy coorfu victory the Italians; to sacrifice
sound strategy for political necessity, and to to
enormous expenditure OF energy, munitions and men
in so doing.
If Italy can be forced out of the war; if she be
demorazed, even if only for few months, the stroke
is worth while. But not otherwise The entente
sratesSts perceive the Hindenburg objective and it
is up TO them to circunvent it. They see the
rather clumsy Tcutonic sparring for time First the
capture of Riga and naval demonstration in the Gulf
of Finland. Then nothing doing" Then hasty
but enormous achievement in transportation to smite
Cadorna on the hip. If the Italian general cannot
parry the blow, if he cannot force it to fall far short
cf the goal that Berlin has for it, then greatly
mistake our man.

Gust the Pink Tea Workers.

The head of the canteen department OF the National
League for Women's Service has requested all pink
tea" members to resign from her division. Il would
rather have dependable woman than one thousand
who can't work because they have an engagement to
play golf or because it is their afternoon at home,
she remarked.
Red Cross workers and war-workers of all types
up against the age-od problems OF organizers-
how to weed out the Indifferent and inefficient worker,
the person who enthusiastically enrols under every
new banner attends few meetings, throws monkey
wrench or two into the organization machinery-and
disappears until new cause or a brighter banner
haunts into view.
Such women are obstacles to the progress of any
cause with which they fit to play Any work they
touch is retarded and confused by their assistance
All things distorted for the purpose of producing
a new pose for their Unsuitable vanity.
War work is too serious to serve as playground.

Malone and Hillquit.

What has come our friend, Dudley Field
Malone? Has contact with the Joan of Arc spirit OF
Cameron House put him mentally askew?
Here he is now, this crusader against the seamy,
sinister selfish forces Of national life espousing
Norris Flquit in the New York mayoralty fight. We
lack words to picture mystilcation. We see
Malone Socialist and applaud him for it,
Can him turn radical Of radicals, and cheer his
Hiheruan pluck, but insist that to champion Hill
quit in the New York contest is an objectionable
bunder.
IIillquit today is an open enemy of the American
cause and OF the American spirit lie is a cOpPerhcad
and lie refuses to subscribe to the liberty
loan he disapproves the Kaiserism; he gloats
a llabby pacifsm which has been described as
side line of German intrigue, and that without arous
ing any discernible resentment from this man who is
commonly reputed to be the intellectual leader of
Socialism in the United States.
We insist that this alone outlaws HiIlquit from the
consideration of true Americans If Dudley Field
Malone cannot this point clearly much the worse
for Dudley Field Malone. He is sacrificing much in
this sensational outbreak of folly, sacrificing his
friends his and his reputation true Progress
sive. He may think he dscerns political future in
the rising tide OF Socialism But nothing is more GER
tain than Socialism will come into power through
the ignObe channel that Hillquit has marked out for it

the injury that its pro-German leaders have done it

Cause and Effect.

Few persons there are in the CoUn-
try who do not know the effect OF
high prices-but how many can give
a succinct explanation Of their cause:
If ii will do any good at this
iuncture in our national life for the
country at large TO find this out. Con.
Gress has prepared for distribution a
leaflet on the cause. by George r.
Adams. once member of the House
from Illinois, in which in less than
500 words Mr.. Adams tells "all

In short. Mr.. Adams sets out that
the cause is the same as during the
civil war-there has been a large ex-
pansion Of the volume of money ir

this time it is an expansion of gold

be depreciation like the depreciation
Of silver which occurred in the last
century. If all countries except tn,
United States were to abandon the
use of gold as n money metal, so that
the worlds supply OF gold were heapet
up in this country. the purchasinr
power of gold would sink in this coun.
try to a lower level" Mr.. Adams
says.
Then he goes on TO show how the
great war has changed trade condi.
tions, and how it has brought an i'm.
mense supply OF gold into this coun.
try. Because We export more thar
We import-this amount growina

Daughter of God, thy House is sand

They've flayed the earth to its ribs of chalk
And over its bones the Spectres walk

What was shall be! ] read Thy sign:
Thy ocean yawns for the smtten swinel
Then from Verdun
Pealed westward to the Somme
From every gun

Brothers in Blood.

A wonderful and pleasing sight was recently pre-
sented in the ancient city of Constantnople when
Wilhelm of the Hohenzollerns, Emperor of German,
and the Sultan of the Turks and tular head of the
Mohammedans of the world met, embraced, exchanged
fowery compliments and gave each other high dec
orations of their respective empires.
There reason why they should not be as
thick as thieves. Though is European and,
supposedly, Christian and the other Oriental and
Mohammedan nevertheless they were brothers in
blood
1t does not take much imagination to fancy the
hands of Wilhelm of the Hohenzolerns incarnadined
with the blood of Belgium France Serbia, Poland
1t does not take much imagination to fancy the
hands of the Sultan of Turkey crimsoned with the
blood of the Armenian and Syrian Christians
Both inspired by the purpose-the
lust for conquest and blood.
