KEEP COMPILE I [ RECORDS U. $.
 F|GHTERS
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct 26. A small army of clergs, operating files cover ing 10000 square feet of floor space. soon will be employed by the statisti. cal division of the war department to keep the individual record of every man wearing Uncle Sam's uniform.
 Announcement of the details of this gigantic filing system forcibiy brings home the fact that American soldiers will be killed, wounded and imprisorfy ed in Europe.
 The main purpose of the statistics is to provide an accurate means of checking casualty reports. Inciden- tally, however, the complete army his tory of the men will be recorded.
 - Major J. J. James has charge of the central office in Washington An other will be established iii EuroBe Weekly reports will be made to cen tral offices by divisional bureaus. which in turn will receive information from three members of each regiment specially detailed to the work.
 Two filing systems will be main tained. One containing in alphahstfead order the/names of every man in the service, will serve as check in re- ferring to the regimental files.
 The record of each man will con. tain the name and address of his near. est relative, to serve as an aid in the prompt transmission of cab1ed reports of death and serious illness. The war department also will undertake to give relatives reports of military fun erals, location of burial places and information concerning Americans held in enemy prison camps.
 Until the Red Cross came to its aid, the British government experienced great difficulty in handling casualty reports, and by the establishment of this system the war department in- tends to avoid similar confusion.

UNADuLTERATED LOYALTY

So much has had to be written late ly concerning the sub-normal Ameri- canism of certain German language publishers, that it is a pleasure to quote the following by A. ]. Ruchar who is the editor of "Haus and Nerd" published at Cincinnati, Ohio.
 The lines of duty are very clear for everyone that has sworn the oath of naturalization. Under all possible circumstances we have to stand by the Star-Spangled Banner. The indivi- dual will has to yield to the will of the Nation, as it is expressed by our Congress and our President. And no former connections whatever nor any personal sympathies or apathies. allowed to influence our sense of duty however strong they may be, must be in this respect. To America which we, prompted by love and gratitude, have chosen as our new homeland, we owe everything which it may justly re- quire from us as citizens. When con science speaks, the heart must be si- lent.
 Let us remember the terrible con flict of feelings under which many a father and husband bade farewell to wife and children during the civil War to join armies and to level his gun against friends or even relatives whose sympathies were on the other side. Such painfully difficult decis- ions are being repeated a million times during the present war, and we must not shun them. There is but one authority for us to go by in such cases conscience combined with duty Be- fore these solemn and stern majesties we have to bow in absolute submis- sion in the present crisis. Let us do it in gratitude toward America, which has welcomed us to it's hospitable shores and has given us opportunities such ss the old country simply could

4 JOB FOR THE RED CROSS

Dr. Albert Fitch, Red Cross in spector just back from France, made a special appeal in Washington the ot- her day for the boys who are to make up Pershing's army.
 He pointed out that when French soldiers get leave of absence from the trench he goes straight home to his dear ones. The English Tony is sent across the channel. But the Ameri- can boy cant travel 5000 miles. He will be bound to spend <his little hol- iday somewhere in France.
 Naturally most Americans will turn to Paris, the great romantic city of dreams. And that is where the Red Cross should come in, according to pr. Fitch. Here is the vision:
 A great building right on the Place de TOpera in the very heart of the iveliest section of Paris. In this building ample quarters where many men could get a clean bath and bed, and enjoy smoking and lounging in the pleasent rooms.
 But, best of all, there should be a big, clean restaurant, something like the popular chain of restaurants fam liar in many of the large American cities. In this place a speciality should be made of American dishes-corned beef hash, Boston Baked beans, corn bread, hot biscuits = all the things especially dear to the American pa late.
 And right next door there should be an American candy store where the boys could purchase sweets of the kind they are used to and where they could imbibe endless ice cream sodas.
 To finish off, Dr. Fitch would have the Lambs Club of New York cooper. ate with the Red Cross, so some of the cleverest actors and comedy sing. CTS in the country could take turns at entertaining the boys.
 A very good program. It is ambi- tious. It will cost some money. But the American Red Cross is ambitious and it has the money.
 The soldiers in the trenches will not have much time to become home sick. But when they are on leave the longing for home will hit them rieht str-a--'---i-i '.---s,.g --s-S''s4-dS'
 The Fitch plan would give them a bit of America, bit of home in the very center of Paris. They would en- joy every minute of it. They would go back to the stern business at the front refreshed both in body end in spirit.

Alma was only two years older than

retained a youthful outlook and a
bOyish enthusiasm that was almost
as enviable as it was enjoyable.
While he made the most Of every mo-
ment of work and play he seemed to
me to make time live instead Of muir
dering it. He loved the days and
hated to let them go.
Earnest LawtOn had always given
me the impression Of killing time
almost in a literal sense. Each day
he tried to throttle and squeeze dry
before he threw it away and started
seeking another day to bleed. He
fed from his yesterdays as the muir

reached out for his tomOrrows with
