THE BETTER HONOR.

Close ANALYSIS of the rush OF volunteers
reveals the fact that it does not consist OF
those who know they will be drafted any
wav and are making he best OF bad BUSH
ness, but is very largely made up OF those
who are so far down the list that they
would stand no chance of being included
in the first call, maybe not at all. They
are not enlisting because of the possibility
of service but because OF the probability
Of missing it. Inasmuch as each district
compulsory quota is reduced by this num-
Der who volunteer, it fOllO\s that there Is
a very real competition to get to the front,
a competition that will bring heart-burning
to many who are now so confident that
their billet is assured.
What healthier antidote could there be
to the vile poison of pacifsm? What more
convincing reply to the ISLANDERS Of certain
senators who persist in disappearing
the American people, and their eagerness
to defend the principles inherited from
Lexington?
There mays be some who will try to
evade SERVE That will be demonstrated
when the selection begins. But the less said
about them now and the less thought
about them then, the better for all of us.
We do not believe the list will be long
one, otherwise would there not have been
more attempt to deceive the registration
officers? Would there not have been more
serious disturbances-instead of the airy
nothingS of a few undesirables, whose
actions were hardly more Objectionable
than their ordinary conduct during peace
Oh, surely the majority, the great
majority, the stupendous majority of those
who apply for exemption will be entitled
to it--engaged in some basic industry,
with dependent family. And of such it
is the duty to stay, however strong the de-
sire to go. To them will be issued special
badges, and the wearers of them SHOULD be
as proud of the distinction as the others
are of their khaki, for they are obeying n.
less surelyathe orders of the commander

tainly for the best interests of the nation

REMOVE CREEL,

Refusal of the Associated Press to kill
the story announcing, without detail the
arrival of another contingent of American
troops at a European port, brings on the
expected clash between the bureau of in
nation and the newspapers.
The volunteer censorship has not been
abated in the least. Papers are still sup
pressing news that it is folly to suppress ;
they are not even taking advantage of the
lureau's contradictory decisions to interpret
tie regulations the last Joke in Jour
malism-more broadly; they are making
no effort whatevert to evade the foreign
Censorship. The despatch in question was
passed by the official censor abroad, sent
street to the news distributing centers in
this country, as provided by Secretary Of
War Baker in his statement of July ).
No military information was contained
i'll the despatch, neither the number or
character of the troops, the names of the
ships, nor the port of arrival And the re-
quest to kill the story came from no re-
sponsible official, for even if Creers fan
tastic policy as head Of the bureau of in
formation had secured for him the conf
dence Of the country, he could hardly be
! Considered as having authority to 60 be-
hind Secretary Bakers arrangements
The American people have the same
right to know of the safe arrival of their
boys as Germany, and, standing up for the
peoples rights, the Associated Press rep
l">rnted the spirit of journalism at its
finest; moreover, it may have saved them
some unnecessary fiction like that of July
4, when facts are all they want.

PORTO RICANS WANT
GO IN TRAINING CAMPS

San Juan, Porto Rico, July %
Seven hundred and twenty-five appli-
cations for permission to attend the
second trainings camps of the off
GERS reserve corps have been received
by Colonel Orval P. Townsend, dis
trict commander and examining off
Ger here.
The war department has not yet
sent in the quota of men that Porto
Rico will be allowed to send to Che
training camps nor has it specified
the camp or camps that those apph-
cants who are accepted will attend,
though that information is expected
any day.
Though there is nothing official
about the number of men that will be
conscripted in Porto Rico, Colonel
Townsend things that it will be 5000.
In that event $50 officers will be
needed.

Patriotism in the Kitchen.

Each housewife who dons her ma
tional uniform, the kitchen apron
and starts in with the proper deter
mination to do her bit toward the
great food conservation campaign is
as much patriot as the man who
runs a pillow or carries gun, said
Miss Bah Bell of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture recently in dis
cussing the housekeeper's part in the
war
However, most housewives are be-
coming alarmed and confused at the
numerous warnings on all sides
Eliminate waste" Substitute mex
pensive foods for expensive ones,
Use left overs" IF the women rep
resenting the 10000, 900 homes of this
country are to accomplish anything
they must stop talking and begin
work now in sane and systematic
manner" said Miss Bell.
The first logical step for every
housewife is TO make a thorough
study of food values. For the last
fifteen years home economics special
lists have been preaching food values
but very little attention was given
this subject until recent years. Now
when we stand face to face with the
present great food shortage every
woman sees the absolute necessity OF
having this knowledge. She sees that
without it she is helpless to make
the proper elections and the proper
substitutions."
A free leaflet giving information on
food values may be had on applica-
ton to the College of Agriculture,
