Don't believe the stories of death
to soldiers away from home These
stories just seem to jump up and
start and then only one once in a
while turns out to be true. 1t is ma
tural that sensational stories get
started in these sensational times. The
time to believe that a man is dead is
when you see his name published by
the United States government in the
official casualty list.

But perhaps some day in the future,
When my little boy sits on my knee,
And asks me what did in this great
war,
And his little eyes look up at me,
I'll look back into those eyes
That into mine so trustingly peer,
And III tell him that wasn't drafted
was only a volunteer.
America respects its volunteer sold
iery-all honor to them. But things
Of this sort can only have the effect
of raising petty spite and hatred
among our boys who should be to-
gether. The selected men enlisted in
the manner provided by law The re
suit has been SO gratifying says Gene
raj Enoch Crowder, that the method
will be amplifed and perfected and
become a permanent feature of the
nations military organization. The
National army will give a good ac-
count Of itself when the time comes
never fear So will the volunteers.
They're all Americans and public
sentiment after the war will not per-
init the establishment of a snobbish
aristOcracy based upon whether a man
enlisted before or after registration.

Why didn't wait to be drafted,

Five Employment Agencies.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 1S.-A bill pro
yiding for the establishment in Texas
of five free employment agencies is
to be introduced in the Legislature.
The measure has been prepared by
o. w. Woodman, state labor commits
sioner, who believes that the working
classes in Texas would be greatly
benefited by the enactment Of such a
law.
During the past year persons in
search of work have paid out not less
than 100000 in fees to labor agen.
cies," said Commissioner Woodman.
while by having free employment
agencies this money could be saved
to those mostly in need of it,
The commissioner has conferred
with several members of the legis.
lature relative to this measure and
says he feels assured that it will not
only receive favorable consideration,
but that it will be made law

imported for that production and the
remainder were to be divided between

such massive productions appearing
in New York at one time, and all
tremendously successful, it was rather
an Arab year for the Metropolis. The

Possibly the collection here of mill

Germany cannot be stopped at once
or entirely. But the present scheme
of restriction on espionage leaves
much 10 be desired. A really strin-
gent censorship OF cable messages
and a censorship OF all mail matter

wise precautions. Apparently there is
as vet no genenl censorship OF the

But we can certainly reduce the
scope of its operations by adopting a
less compacent attitude toward it
by thoroughly censoring all outgoing
communications and by taking enemy

painful It will be for us to face the
