Drafting Aliens

There seems to us very good why have taken refuge in the United States should not be subject the draft just home boys. If they in their native hiunts they would be subject service and they should not be exempt from service because they have to these shores. The principle of such exemption is wrong for the stacker from other nations should not find harbor in the United States
 If the nation feels that to draft aliens is not within it's province, why send them back their native lands to face equal responsibility with those left home. They have no right to take shelter under the Stars and Stripes and not be subject to the responsibilities of those defend ing
 The alien who lives for years in foreign land without intention of returning to his home country has for naturalzing. If he has not done the country should see that he bears the same burdens as those who do. If he has not been in the country long enough for na- turalization then let him go home and his burdens there. This is time for slackers here or abroad and there is no reason why boys should fight for healthy foreigners who escap- ing their just burden in this war.

The result of the first announcement

was completed by Gathmann at the
plant of the Gathmann Engineering
company, at Texas, Baltimore county,

Alter ralIINi Ioig period OF re-

from the realm of forgotten finery. 1t

entry few weeks ago and Immediate
~ achieved decisive hit with thou

Today it is the darling of fashion.
The "stock" jabot with high, stock

nacle Of success and brought all OF It's
kindred into the llmelight.
Not having worn jabots for so long,
we appreciate just how enchanting
they are, but are hardly prepared for
the extravagantly high prices that are
asked for even the simpler styles. From
two to FIVE dollars Is demanded for
well-made jabots Of fine net or good
net-top laces. The cheaper nets and
laces appear to lose their sheerness
and TO thicken up with washing. When
this happens their charm is gone.
It is not the price of lace but the
price of labor that places jabots In
the class of expensive luxuries. Wom-

In all of them the hair is waved, and
neatness above all else the effect to be
desired, but for older women the hair
is high. Few hair ornaments are WOW
en- In these more elaborate coiffures, but
very short, soft curls catch the eye
and please tin nearly every one OF
them.
In coiffures that follow the style pic
tured, the average woman has enough
hair to make success of it without
any acquired locks. This may be one
of the reasons why the style is so
popular. Nearly all the hair is massed
at the sides and about the forehead,
while the ends are tucked under and
concealed in the most inconsplcuous
way possible. The aim is to suggest
the bobbed hair cut worn by little chill
dren. The very latest arrival shows
this style with the forehead bare ex-
cept for a single little curled lock
pasted fiat to it, with bandoline, at the
center. This instantly brings to mind
that "there was little girl who had
a little curl" ETC., and perhaps Ii was
intended to do just this.

MAY CENTER IN WASHINGTON
Purchase All Supplies Needed by
the Allied Countries.

Washington.-Creation of a central
purchasing committee in Washington
for all supplies bought in the United
States for the allied governments was
forecast here by Sir Hardman Lever,
financial expert Of the British war
mission. The committee will supplant
]. Z. Morgan & Co.
Discussing the world financial situa-
ton, the British expert expressed the
opinion that Germany will be practical
ly bankrupt in the credit markets
after the war.
"Our enemies" he said, "for all their
boosted efficiency, have never had the
courage TO face their financial prob
lens, with the result that when the
war is over they will be hard put to
it."
The Teutonic governments having
pyramided one internal loan upon an
other, he explained, their interest
charges would be so great that he be-
lieved they would either have 10 repu-
date large part Of their debt or face
inability 10 buy the enormous Quanti-
ties of material they would need for
reconstruction.
The allies, he added, had paid their
way In the war "by the straightfor-
ward and natural means, by pouring
out their gold. by selling enormous
masses of American securities. by rails
ing loans" AS result, he predicted
that the end Of the war would find the
allies in good shape financially, despite
their enormous permanent debts.

Many farmers are inQuiring, however,
as to the prospects of increased crops
resulting in knocking down prices next
winter to a level that will mean lack
of profit in buying seed at present
high prices. These men want to see
a minimum price agreed upon for their
products, so they can feel assured OF
no loss because Of extra work and
extra production. The minimum price
idea has appealed to various members
of the preparedness board, but some
believe that federal action would be
necessary to ensure the success OF
