THE treacherous submarine warfarei oil
the Germans continues to exact heavy
toll OF vessels sailing the seas, and mil
lions OF dollars worth OF property is sunk
each week. But an account is being kept,
and in the end the German barbarians
will have to pay the bill

WE are sure that our people will very
heartily commend the announcement
made by the officers OF the Morgan's
Grove fair that no gambling games OF any
sort will be permitted on the grounds
this year. For several years past the
gamblers have been a nuisance and a
source OF corruption, and we are glad
that they are TO be eliminated. Let us
keep Our fair clean and wholesome and
retain for it the unique features that have
made it so popular in the past.

The Germans profess 10 hold the Unit
ed States in profound contempt so far as
cur men and resources will affect the
great war now in progress, and deride
every report that we will be able to rem
der the Allies material assistance. An
other European nation held the same
opinion concerning America l40 years
ago, but subsequently, it had cause TO
change its views.

OUR government believes that the great
war will be won in the air, and that the
nation that can put the largest number Of
airships into action will achieve the vic
tory. Congress has passed bill appro-
priating the enormous sum OF $64O, 900
for the construction of a great fleet OF
1900 airships, with 100000 aviators to
manage them, and these machines will be
at once constructed and put in service on
the French battlefields. Many thought
full military men believe that the airshipS
will be the deciding factor.
But in our opinion the issue is yet far
from a decision.

CONGRESS has been notified that it
must provide s., 5000, 900, 900 more for war
purposes, and the demand gives a dis
tinct shock to those who have not as yet
realized the enormous cost OF carrying
on a modern war. Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo, in making his eSt-
mates for the Senate Finance Committee,
states that second army of 100000 men
underline selective draft must soon be call
ed, probably by October; $500, 0O0, 900
is asked for the building OF additional
ships; the Navy Department needs $780,
0O0,O00-and so the expenses go on.
War is costly not only in precious lives,
but in money and treasure besides. And
all the disaster and waste is to crafty the
ambition OF the German Kaiser and his
satellites.

FROM every section ..of our country
where there are camps OF soldiers come
appalling reports OF vice for which the
liquor traffic is directly or indirectly re-
spohsible. In places where there are
licensed liquor saloons-notably in Phil
adelphia, Newport, and certain parts of
Maryland and Pennsylvania-these booze
joints are headquarters for dissolute
women, and debauchery and wantonness
prevail 10 an alarming extent In sec
tons where there are no licensed saloons
The bootleggers and illicit dispensers of
liquor boldly ply their trade, and with
vile characters OF every sort weavea net
work OF temptation about the soldier boys
from which few escape unframed.
II is the paramount duty OF our govern
ment TO protect its youthful soldiers from
these civil influences, and yet compare
lively little is being done to drive such
vultures from the camps. The author
tiles should deal with them in such a
merciless way that a wholesome fear
would prevent them from plying their
Ubiquitous business, for having drafted
our young men into service, the govern
ment is in honor bound TO protect them
from all unnecessary dangers.
The whole wretched liquor business
ought TO be abolished. Whiskey, wine,
beer and every other form OF alcoholic
intoxicant should be forbidden, both as
TO manufacture and sale. The business
is evil and only evil, and its contaminat-
ing influence and its wastefulness is Sin
ful and altogether abominable in these
times of national peril.
President Wilson on Monday issued
an executive order prohibiting the exist
ence OF disorderly resorts or saloons
within five miles OF any military camp,
but unfortunately this does not apply to
towns or cities which have licensed sa-
looms. A hall mile from camp is the in
adequate limit in the case of license
towns. II the President has power to
keep saloons hall mile from camp he
probably has authority 10 make the limit
ten miles. II he has this power, for the
good OF the country he ought 10 exercise

1T is no wonder that poultry is so scarce
and so high in price. In Chicago there is
100000 pounds OF poultry in cold stor-
age, and probably as much in the balance
OF The country in addition. The greedy
food Spectators are not satisfied with
reasonable profits, so they are holding
this vast quantity OF stuff in the hope OF
unloading il at extortionate prices.

THE food bill as almost ready for pass
age in Congress spares the breweries
and their products. And yet these brew
ers, practically all OF them German by
birth and in spirit, are the worst enemies
OF the United States today, morally and
politically.
But then they control an enormous vote
and the politicians in Congress know it.

THE GREAT DRAFT.

In Washington last Friday the great
lottery by which the first army of 687 600
was chosen from 100000 registered
men took place in committee room OF
the Senate Office building. II was an
impressive occasion, attended by high
officials of the government and repre-
sentative newspaper men. Plans had
been made by which the drawing would
be completed in about an hour, but on
Thursday il was discovered that certain
registrars in New Jersey had bungled
their work, and so different method had
TO be carried out.
Capsules containing slips Of paper on
which were written the numbers from ]
to $500 were prepared and placed in
large glass bowl. The first capsule was
drawn out by Secretary OF War Newton
ID. Baker, who was blindfolded. The
number was 25S, and this meant that the
man whose number was 25S in each oil
the A, 500 registration districts OF the Unit
ed States was the first man to be called
10 arms. Other officials drew out cap
Sules, and then clerks from the War De-
partment took up the work. The first
number was drawn al 9.49 a. M, and
though the work was continued without
cessation, il was not until 2lS Saturday
morning that the last number was drawn
from the bowl. The drawing was abso-
lutely fair, and not an error was made,
except that one capsule contained blank
slip instead OF a numbered one.
There was intense interest in Shep-
herdstown Friday afternoon as the news
began TO come in, giving the numbers OF
those who were drawn in the first allot-
ment. The first information came from
Martinsburg, where the numbers were
posted early in the afternoon, and later
in the evening J. w. Snyder, OF the
Washington Star, telephoned the list OF
Shepherdstown men to the Register Of
flee. There was deep anxiety on the
part OF parents, particularly, as well as
those generally who had relatives liable
to the draft. The young men on the
eligible list were greatly concerned, and
when their tate was known those who
were called took the news with good
grace and resolved 10 do their duty, while
those who escaped were considerably
relieved. There seemed to be spirit
prevalent that Shepherdstown should
have no slackerS.
The first number drawn was 25S, and
il caught Harry Turner Underwood, of
the Leetown neighborhood; the next
was 45S, and this was Hugh S. Moler's
number /; Raymond Miller. of Shepherds
town, got the third number, Nelson T..
Snyder, Jr.. sixth, and Taylor Bragonier
seventh.
The next step in the programme will
be call from the local board for the
first 1l2 men on the list to present them
selves for physical examination. This
call will probably come within the next
day or two.
Jefferson countY's quota for the draft
is So. and double this number will be
called for examination, with the expecta-
ton that after exemptions are allowed
the quota will be obtained from the III
men called. If Sc cannot be secured from
this number, additional names will be
called. The following are the first ll2
names, and the men will be called in
order:

FOREIGNERS ARE SAVING

February, the shortest month in the
year, rolled up the largest increase in
postal savings deposits in the history
Of the service, according to figures
just made public by the postoff1ce de-
partment. Over s5,O00,000 was ad-
ded to the savings of depositors, now
numbering approximately 100000.
Scores of small postal banks took in
more money than they had accumu-
lated In any one year. Foreign-born
depositors were especially active and
their deposits ran larger than usual.
Upwards of 80 per cent of the $121,-
100000 on deposit March 1st is owned
by this class. Postal station B Of
New York, located on the east side,
made gain in February of $4,000.
This station alone has 100000 on
deposit and Is outranked only by New
York City, Brooklyn and Chicago. Its
depositors are largely foreign-born. ;
Twenty-Five cities made gains of
oyev S23 900 in February:
