LOYALTY DAY"

Soon, under the selective draf
bill regulations, there will begin the
wonderful count of Americas man
hood. Quietly, inflexibly, the coun
try will call each man by name will
the added commands: Stand vi
and serve the hand that feeds you
and the flag that shelters you"
The day that count begins will be
new era in the history of the ma
tion; II is a turning of events that
has given us the America of today.
The America of tomorrow, and of
many tomorrows, will be what these
millions of numbered men shall
make it.
The nation needs every one of its
sons. and in the count there must
be no BLACK sheep" of slackers and
shirkers. To some will come the
call to the pillow that famine may be
cheated of it's victory; to some will
be sent the orders of commerce and
trade that prosperity may abide with
us. To others still there will go the
thrilling cry: ITO your tents!" and
it is these that the nation will carry
nearest to its heart, for the seekers
of danger have ever been the public
idols.
But every post to which the sum-
mons calls man is post of honor.
Service is patriotism, no matter
where it falls, if so it is done earn
estly and Loyalty and faithfully; and
so there is but an imaginary discrep-
ancy in the honors that results. Ev-
cry American who does his duty is a
worthy son of the republic.
And so 1t seems a beautiful idea,
suggested by Wilcox of Wisconsin,
that the day the President sets apart
for the count to begin shall be de-
signated as Loyalty Day
What an inspiration the name is,
The pulse beats quicker and the eve
lrightens. responsive TO the words.
Zen sny ere hold back, can any one I
try to turn a deaf ear to the e3ro

German Threat Of Murder.

From the New York Sun
The threat TO murder the
members of gun crews on American trad
ing ships, as they did Captain Fryatt, IL
a new proof of moral madness There
would be no doubt as to the standing of
the gunners, even were they members OF
the regular crew OF the chips. Every
merchant ship has a right to means Of
defense under international law, no mat.
ter what Germany may say. But In the
case OF the American ships the men are to
be regular men of the navy assigned ia
the duty OF protecting the ships by the
president. This wipes out the last speck
of argument that Germany could advance
against their status.
If Germany should capture any of these
men and put them to death the act will
be sheer murder and the people of the
United States will never rest until it ID
punished as murder in the most impress
siye manner, even though such punish
ment necessftate the hanging of sons
men of very exalted station. This coun-
try win not. allow its humane instincts
to be abused by a barbarous foe. Mo
greater mistake could BIS made than &c
figure on our passive endurance Of sucF
wrong.

DO You Neglect

The machinery of the body needs to
be well oiled, Kept in good condition
just as the automobile, steam engine or

his own machinery more than that of
his horse or his engine? Yet most peo-
PIE do neglect themselves. To clean
the system at least one a week is to
practice preventive measures. You will
escape many ills and clear up the coat
ed tongue, the sallow complexion, the
dull headache, the lazy liver, If you will

The Nation Behind the Guns
From tho PHILADELPHIA Public I,edear.

The American nation may not haye q
trained army. but it has every other ma
terial thing with which to wage a vast
war. No country, not even Germany In
1914, ever went into a conflict packed by
such a stupendous productive capacity az
the United States possesses today. .
Over a third of all the worlds gold supply
that is used for money Is in the United
States at this hour. Since this war be-
gan the people Of this country have made
enough of money profit out OF 1t to wipe
out our federal debt four times. OF the
earth's copper, the United States can com
mand fully half the output. OF cotton,
two-thirds. OF steel, as much as England
and Germany combined. OF WOO a vastly
greater amount than rance or Germany.

VIII Gasoline BE Mined?
From the Popular Science.

The latest estimates OF h United
States Geological Survey show that II
gasoline continues TO bc used up at the
present rate, all the petroleum fields now
in use will be exhausted before 1850.
Where. then. will our future, gasoline
come from? Billions OF dollars are In
volved in the question. The probable an
swer is that mined gasoline will be
used. Colorado, Utah, and other western
and middle western states contain extern
sive oil-bearing deposits OF b~ituminous
sllaIe. Crude oil can be extracted from
them and this car be distilled further to
obtain gasoline. Enough gasoline could
be produced in this way to equal many
times the amount obtained from all our
present day petroleum fields.
