Be Happy.

Be happy while you can; that
is the better plan. Oh, chortle
all the day. and like the lambkins
play. Full soon the flies will
come, and redhot bees will hum !;
the nights will be so hot you'll
tumble ON Your cot and say you'd
give a heap for seven lines Of
sleep. Mosquitoes will be here
70 murmur in your ear the soft
and gentle strain that drives
strong men insane. The days will
reek with heat, and you will long
for sleet the while you WELD
your fan-be happy while you
can. Be happy while you can, oh,
melancholy man! For now the
skies are fair and soothing IS
the air; there are no insect pests
10 build on YOU their nests. The
sun shines overhead, but does not
bake YOU red. Just now Dame
Nature tries to show that she IS
wise to every human need; her
work is smooth, indeed. The
world is all serene, rejuvenated,
clean, pleasant world to scan
he happy while you can!

Afro-American Loyalty.

To the Editor OF The Star:
If the colored man himself be not re-
spected. we do earnestly think his
patriotism to the Stars and Stripes de-
serves to be respected by every liberty
loving white citizen of this country At
no time in the history Of his life has
the colored man ever attempted to give
this country the least bit of trouble. He
has at all times been patient with and
kind to his white brother, even though
things to his so-called superior. and
would have done so had he been i'm
bued with the kind of hatred that lies
in the breast of those who are given all
the rights of citizenship over him.
The colored people are patriotic and
deserve to be encouraged along the
line of their patriotism. But it is to be
regretted that. at the beginning of this
war, when the souls of men are being
tried. there are men who continue to do
things seemingly to provoke the colored
man to commit some treacherous act
To this the patriotic colored man
answers. in words and acts. that he
stands where he has always stood
firm for the protection of the Stars
and Stripes of this glorious old country.
being, denied his just share of a citi-
zen's part, there need be no alarm about
where the colored man stands relative
to defending this country.
With all the abuse that has been heaped
upon him, the loyal colored man says to
Uncle Sam, as did Ruth to her mother
in-law, Naomi: "Entreat me not to
leave thee. for whittier thou goest /
will go. and whittier thou dieth 1 will
die, and there will I be buried" No,
there need be no doubt whatever as to
the usual loyalty of the colored people
to this country, for. while they have
been treated shamefully, they may be
counted upon to do their part, their
whole part. in the cruel war we have
just entered. j. C. CUNNINGHAM

Wasteful determination.
To the Editor of The Star;

TO the Editor Of The Star:
1t Is inspiring to learn. after a care
ful search Of any of our largest mu-
seums. that many species of birds.
fishes and animals. once plentiful. are
now extinct. A deplorable state of af-
fairs. due in many cases. no doubt. to
the unrestrained. ruthless. mercenary
hand of man in his world wide activi-
ties; condition brought about, in some
instances. through the desire of a GER
tain form Of personal decoration pro-
durable only by infiicting unspeakable
creatures which inhabit the earth. Is
it not time that our government and
others in general awaken to this situa-
ton and put into operation the proper
protective measures for the preserva-
ton Of all natures creatures wherever
they are found the wide world over?

D. c. EMPLOYEES GOING
INTO SERVICE OF u. S.
Practically Every Branch Is Repre-
scented Among Applicants for
Places in Army and Navy.

District government officials and en-
ployes are getting in line for war service.
1t may be said that there practically Is
no department Of the local government
that isn't represented among the vol
unteers whose applications for service are
on file at the War Department.
The very first loss the District govern
ment Is expected to experience as re-
suit of the war will be the relieving from
their present duties Of Col. Charles W.
kutz, Engineer Commissioner. and Capts
Powell and Loving, assistant engineer
commissioners. detailed by the War De-
partment to run the engineer branch Of
the local government.
The transfer Of Col Kutz to active war
duty would be a distinct blow to the
District at this time, on account OF his
being chairman of the public utihtles
commission, and having, in conjunction
the long work of valuing the public utilt-
ties of the District of Columbia, which
is now drawing to an end.
Other Departments Affected.
But the engineer department Of the
District not alone is threatened with loss
Of its officials. Several representatives
of this department already have obtained
commissions in the Officers Reserve
Corps. while applications for commissions
by other members Of the department are
on file. 1t is estimated that at least twen-
ty-five officials and members of the en-
gineer branch have rendered their services
to the War Department. and 1t Is expect
ed that they will be called out for train
ing shortly after the passage Of the army
bill.
In the health department, DR.. John L.
Norris, assistant health officer. and DR.. ].
j. Kinyoun, bacteriologist, already have
obtained commissions, the former hav-
ing been appointed a captain in the Medi-
cal Reserve Corps Of the army and the
latter lieutenant in the Medical Reserve
Corps of the navy. In most OF the de-
partments represented among the volun-
teers applications for commissions have
not yet been passed upon.
District employees also are taking an
interest in the organization of the Dis
trict Home Defense League, and. in
many instances have served notice of
their willingness to serve in this organi-
zation.

A GOOD START MADE

The very liberal initial response to
the appeal for the Sl0u. 100000 Red
Cross Fund. made by the citizens OF
Wheeling at the meeting inauguratlng
the campaign in this city. is great
testimony to the interest that is mani
fected in this humanitarian work. Tn
solicited subscriptions 10 the fund yes,
terday amounted to $4,000, which
added to the munifcent total Of over
ISL, 900 obtained at the Scottish Rite
Cathedral meeting. Monday evening,
makes the score to date nearly S10O,-
900. This indicates that there will be
no trouble in getting the remainder Of
the quota of sl50.O00 allotted to the
Wheeling district.
Owing to the incompleteness Of the
teams to make canvass Of the city no
organized. effort was made to solicit
subscriptions until after noon yoster-
day. No report will be forthcoming
from the teams until today at noon,
when it is expected the most cheerful
results will be announced. There still
remain some definite prospects that
have not yet been approached When
they have been properly tapped it is
, confidently expected that the general
public donations will easily cover the
amount required.

mates to canvassing all towns and vii
lagos in the country.
By the visiting Of every house like
book-agents, the ennsting Of local COM
mittees. the placarding Of town.halls
and post-offices and railway stations,
the constructing OF patriotic appeals
through the newspapers. and the pro-
motion OF public meetings, he drew on
reserves Of capital previously unsus-
pected and actually ELECTED, in the
time prescribed, s15.Oo0.O0O more sub.
scriptions than the authorized total OF
the loan before he could stop the
wheels Of his organization.
But the United States has something
more to its credit that came out OF
the emergencies Of war. 1t invented
other appurtenances Of war such as
the armored ship and the submarine,
which have revolutionized sea warfare.
And 1t is not too much to hope that it
will soon evolve an antidote for the
elusive undersea boat that it is re.
sponsible for.
