No, The Herald and News did not
get out an extra of the draft for New
berry county, though Te did get the
numbers and the names and posted
them on Friday afternoon UP to about
165. Ad We continued to post until the
number reached 42S the total includ-
ed IN the first draft for the army un-
der the call of the president. There
art certain to be more or less errors
in the names as published We pub
lish 42S names and the numbers in
this issue OF the paper. We compar-
ed the numbers as carried by the sew
eral daily papers and found that they
did not tally and so we concluded to
20 take the numbers that we use from
Tie State, and the names from the
Lists as printed in The Herald and
News some days ago. The photo
graphed numbers will be sent from
Washington early this week and we
viii print a revised and corrected list.
There are to be drawn under the
first call 214 of the young manhood Of
thls county In order to get that num-
ht.r the war department has ordered
that twice the number be drawn and
ordered to appear before the exemp-
ton board and the notice will be sent
out just as. soon as the numbers are
received from Washington.
The young men selected Will be
drawn very soon and sent to the train
ing camps and then to the trenches ig
France if the war should continue,
ard if not the preparation will go on
Just the same for some time to come.
In the numbers drawn the selections
seem to be pretty well scattered over
the country. Just what proportion is
white and what colored we have not
figured out. According to the postof-
fees given by the registrants The
number drawn is apportioned in the
CT rnty as follows:

Richard Olney.

Even at this time of world tragedy
the passing of so sturdy and capable an
American as Richard olney arrests at
tention. He rendered the country con-
spicuous service in high Office. He was
man Of courage and far vision. He
had purpose, decision and tenacity. His
performances were the bright spots Of
the second Cleveland administration.
He was Mr.. Cleveland's most notable
"fnd" in the eight years Of the latter's
conduct Of national affairs.
And yet when Mr.. Olney was intro
duced to the country he was sharply
criticised in democratic circles. The
trusts were then under fire, and fear
was expressed that the appointment Of
q corporation lawyer as Attorney Gen
eraa might create distrust in the public
mind respecting the new administra-
tion's handling Of the question.
Soon, however, Mr.. Olney showed his
quality as lawyer and executive in a
way to impress the country, and to put
out Of the reckoning all talk Of his
reputation as corporation adviser. In
the railroad strike and the riots that
followed in Chicago in 1894 he stood

has been fat, indeed. And we have con
sumed it without regard to the future,
and as if it were inexhaustible.
Suddenly we have been brought to our
feet by discovery and warning. We
must produce more, or eat less. We
have entered war which those ahead
Of rs in the struggle have found es-
pecially bitter and trying in the matter
Of sustenance. The privations of the
trenches have been exceeded by the pri-
vations Of the homes. Soldiers bargain
for hardships, and bear them in all
shapes heroically. But stories of old
men behind the fighting lines Tightening
their belts, of women losing their color,
Of children looking wan and thin, touch
the heart.
Nothing like that should occur in
America, nor will it if there is whole
hearted co operation in the plans to pre-
vent it. The authorities are moving
with energy and intelligence. The Agri-
cutuTal department Is du'lslHS as ~
what should be done; and the people
have only to listen and heed. Every
body can and should help. Not every
body plants, and not everybody who
does not plant can turn planter. But
some service is possible to ALL and all
should render the service possible.
Criticism of the announcement of this
shortage has been heard. 1t is unde
served. The people were entitled to
know the situation. In no other way
could plans have been formed for re-
lief As this is the peoples government.
and those in Office are only the peoples
representatives, reports to the people
by their representatives are in the very
nature of things necessary. No bread
cards are wanted in America, and none
will appear if the people are kept we'll
advised of their duties as time develops
them.

An Adieu to Frivolity.

The entertainments which of yore SEEM
ed joyously convivial
Are fading very fast in estimation;
In fact, lot of things today seem posi-
lively trivial
Which formerly brought confident Ella
tion.
No longer are we satisfied with rhythmi.
cal vivacities
Upon the polished floor where dancers
flourish.
We've turned our intellectual and physi-
cal capacities
Toward armies that we'll have to
clothe and nourish.
Oh, mother threads a needle; it may
cause her some perplexity
In case she hasn't had to use it lately.
And father robs his pocketbook of some
of its convexity.
His big subscription helps its figure
greatly.
The boys who used to be the life Of
every hour of cheerfulness
Are called to heed very serious mat
ter;
There's happiness and hopefulness and
just little tearfulness-
But there isn't further time for idle
chatter.

The Advance at Arras.

The tide of battle appears to be ris-
ing on the west front and Us running
with especial force in the neighborhood
of Arras, which lies roughly midway be-
tween Lens on the north and Bapaume
on the south, two places that have been
conspicuous in the war reports for sew
eral months. North and south from
Arras along front of twelve miles the
British have fought through the Ger
man position and crossed the crest of
the Vimy ridge, which affords artillery
positions and observation facilities for
dominating the country far to the east
ward.
This action may be the opening chap
ter Of the entente spring drive. The
reconnaissance work of air fleets re-
ported Sunday morning was accepted as
the prelude to operations on an impor-
tant scale. The news reports since last
midnight and throughout the day have
brought word of the taking of German
prisoners and field guns. The reports
of these captures are on the ascending
scale, that is, the figures of the captures,
important in the first reports, increase in
the succeeding reports. This, in con-
nection with the width and depth of the
advance, is significant and the report
Of the taking of field guns is particu-
la,ly significant, as showing that the ad-
vance has quickly overcome the strong
est opposition which could at that time
be brought against it.

Loyalty Of the Colored American

In dealing with those persons who
profess to doubt the loyalty or who
would influence others to doubt the 10y.
atty of the negroes Of the United States
a man who knows the history of this coun-
try is called on to restrain feeling of
impatience. No reflection could be east by
a white American On the patriotism of
the colored American When such re-
Election is east the suspicion must arise
in the American mind that it proceeds
from some form of propaganda designed
to detaeh the American negro from his
country. In no other war of the United
States has there been broaehed a sug-
gestion that eolored Americans are dis
loyal to the flag. The practicable, serv-
ieeable, ardent patriotism of the Ameri-
can negro, in spite of all the grievances
of which he reasonably complains, is
known to all Americans, and they free
II and gratefully acknowledge the
courage. endurance and efficiency of
the eolored soldier in battles and cam
paigns. There is a very high quail
ity of natural so1diership in the
American negro. This has been demon
strated In the armies and navies of the
United States ever since the republic
was born. AS regular and volunteer the
eolored American has been good sol
der.
There ought to be an end to this talk
about negro disleyalty to the flag. No
enc with knowledge of the character of
the colored American gives it eredence.
