COULD RAISE;
 LARGE ARMY
Should the National Government Pre- fer at First to Get Services 0f Sin- gle Men, Oyer Four Million Can
 Be Gotten for the |. 5. Army.

New York, Feb. 4.-If it becomes necessary for this country to invoke it's utmost manpower, i. could put b. 535,940 sold CTS in the field.
 The executive committee of the mayors committee on naicnal de4ense mentioned this fact in report made public today,
 Every man of the 10 535 940 would be sound in wind and limb ana his age would be somewhere between IS and 45. But a large proportion eef-tleIn would have wives and children anc only in the last extremity would they be called upon to defend their coun- try.
 Four Million Single Men,
 Assuming that Uncle Sam woul1 prefer to be served by an army of bachelors, widowers and divorced men, the committee has done some UT her figuring to ascertain how many in these classes would b. available. Their conclusion is that lie could de- pend on drumming up a fighting force Of ATS O50, all single.
 In arriving at these results, the committee has employed the mil iltary 5 atistics of France and Germany as probably applying equally well to the InitfG States.
 Inc number Of young Americans who reach military age every year is 900,000. To ascertain what propor- tion of these are physically fit for soldering, the committee considers conditions in Europe The report says:
 If the French standard of 1910 be applied, then 690,000 of the 100000 men who reach military age in the Un- tied States are fit for military service. But France, because her population was smaller than Germanys and be- cause she wanted to keep her forces as nearly even win her neighbor's as possible, had a less strict standard.
 By the German standard as applied in 1910, the United States has 45.000 fit young men reaching military age annually.
 From this it appears that more than nlne-4enths of the force of 1.500.0O trained and organized troops, which the war college division of the general staff thinks should be available at the outbreak of war, cohld De made up from the men of two ages-say 19 and 70 if the French standard is appii, ed; and that under the s4ricter Ger man standard of 1910 more than nine outbreak of war, could be made up from the men of three agas-say 19, 20 and 21.
 Committees Conclusion.
 After it's estimate of the nations to- tai resources in men, the committee concludes:
 Upon the seriousness of the emer- gency tkat faces a nation must depend to 3 great degree the proportion of exempt ons from military duty. Just as ihe United States, even under system of obligatory service. might call out fewer than 477S,050, so also by the recruiting of older men, by the lowering of physical standards and by the employment of women in occupa- tions now open only to men-it could put far grea CT number under arms.'

A Misdemeanor, Personal Liberty

The dupont Company has called the
attention of all employees to the new
law passed by the Legislature last
winter, which went into effect Octo-
Der /.
No employee or other person shall
attempt to enter any explosive plant
with matches or other flame produc-
ing devices, except electric incandes-
cent flash lights, or liquor OF narcot-
les in his or her possession or control,
or while under the influence of liquor
or narcotics, or to partake of intoXi-
cants or narcotics while within the
plant, under penalty of misdemeanor.
This allows fines and Imprisonment
for a mans acts, ever drinking liq-
uors.
The liabilities law holds the employ
er responsible for a mans acts while
at work and requires payment if he
gets injured. In other words, an
employee is mentally and physically
not responsible for his acts while at
work according to law. If he be not
capable of responsibility, if he gives up
his personal liberty while employed,
then the time has come to deprive, by
law, all working men of those privi-
leges and personal liberties that
makes them unfit to be free, moral
and physical beings as much as the
employer is. AS the working man
has laws holding the employer respon-
sible for his wrong acts while at work,
then the employer who has to take
the responsibility must deprive the
employees of those indulgences which
make the employees physically, men
tally and morally unfit to perform
work, whether it be alcohol, narcot-
les, indulgences in vices or failures
to recuperate so as to be physically
and mentally fit when at work.
If men give up their personal re-
sponsibility in M case they must
give up their personal liberty in the
other. Study that logic.

Buy a Liberty Bond

The first issue of the 31a per cent.
liberty bonds are being received by
the subscribers. Every other three
months the holder of a 500 bond tears
off a coupon for 81 cents or SO cents.
The bond is as good as money. Can
be passed for a 500 bill, besides
while you have it in your possession
it increases in value. What better
saving fund than a Liberty Bond?
The new issue of Liberty Bonds will
bear 4 per cent. interest. Each
quarterly coupon on $50 will call for
so cents; on a 500 bond $1.00. The
Liberty Bonds are the best invest
ments for small savings; better than
postal savings.
The people in this region are the
great beneficiaries and profiteers of
the war. The money to be raised is
largely spent for powder. The in
vestment of the earnings of powder
makers in Liberty Bonds go back to
the government to buy more powder.
The more Liberty Bonds the powder
makers buy the more the government
has to pay workers to make powder.
See how you can not only help the
government, but help yourself.

WHY SHOULD 1T BE SOLD AT
A LOSS

In order to avoid such loss and
to secure the revenue which we
must have to pay our bills, we
have filed with the Board of Pub
lie Utilities Commission, which
has approved the same, this rule
based on the cost Of coal.
The Company shall, at the end
of each calendar month, ascertain
the average cost of coal delivered
at the power houses at Bridgeton
and Wilmington for that month,
such average price to be a true
average and proportionate to the
amount of current received from
Bridgeton and Wilmington re-
spectively, and shall add to the
consumers bill twenty-five one
hundredths of a mill per kwhr. for
each 10c per ton, of cost of coal
in excess of $3.50 per ton, f. o. b.
power house, and shall deduct
from the consumers bill twenty
five one h~undredths of a mill per
kwhr. for each 10c per ton of coal
below $500 per ton f. o. b. power
houses.
This rule effective with bills
rendered Nov. 1, 1917.

The SHEEP TRAIL PYRAMID
MINES

The properties Of the SHEEP TRAIL PYRAMID MINES are
located in the great mining district of Western Arizona and about
twelve miles south of the famous United Eastern mine, which,
starting operation in January, 1917, has since produced more than
in gold monthly.
The veins of the SHEEP TRAIL PYRAMID MINES have
been opened up and developed to a point where it lis only necessary
to install modern equipment to take out ore, which, we believe, will
equal the production of the United Eastern. This mine was start
cd as a prospect and the stock sold as low as 10 and Is cents per
share. When ore was found, the price rose and with the present
production is selling at $500 a share.
The SHEEP TRAIL PYRAMID MINES is starting at a point
which United Eastern only reached after several years work, and
we believe the progress will be correspondingly rapid.
We offer a limited amount of this stock for subscription at so
cents per share, with assurance that it will be put on the market at
not less than 60 cents, and we also believe that there will be a
broad market for so strong a stock. We advise you to take adj
vantage of this special offer and send us your order. We will be
to send you prospectus on request or any other information
that you desire. Write us.

MUCH ACTIVITY is BEING
SHOWN BY U. S. AT THIS TINE

Never before in the history of the
world has nation built up new or
ganirations with such astounding
rapidity as the United States of Amer
lea this year since war was declared.
In six months we have shown that the
ability to crystalize and develope CO.
operation-in short, the faculty called
by business men executive ability"
can be applied to military needs by
men trained in the arts of peace as
quickly, more quickly, perhaps, in the
hour of need than by nations whose
study has been war.
In that sense, therefore, the perioo
of six months has just passed at wash
ington is not merely HISTORICAL: it is
epochal.
No doubt you have read good deal
and heard more of this and that going
wrong. All @an not run smoothly
when the life of nation is suddenly
transformed. Business firms peace
fully changing their locations OF con-
Germs switching from one line of trade
to another always are subject to more
or less confusion. And occasionally
there are men within large business
whose views disagree when faced sud
denly by questions for which there are
no precedents.
Think of il! The country Immersed
in peace. save for one brief period,
throughout nearly SO years! A man
of peace in the presidential chair, a
man of patience, whose every effort
was to keep us honorably out of war,
to keep US away from the thoughts of
war.
An then, without warning, after re-
peated assurances to the contrary,
comes tine announcement of the Ger
man Government that all promises are
"off," ard that not only neutral ships
themselves, ships with America wo-
men and children aboard, would be
sunk on the high seas deliberately
without warning.
1t meant war, of course. What
else could this mean?
Hence, suddenly in April the work
of war preparations began. Money
was quickly voted; but there remained
the bigger task of building new enter
prses, laying the system and shaping
the policies, and the still bigger tasi
of finding the new men for the new
positions.
Those of US who have seen new
business enterprises organized may
have faint idea Of the problems tha;

generations of men have passed be,

iZatiOns you see to-day.
In this war preparation years could
not wait. Speed was the watchword
Patriotism was the inspiration. True
/ indeed, many flaws were found. Old
systems built on peace activities con,
flicted with systems that the new ord
er had forced. Men in office found
themselves alongside of new men il
new offices, and naturally questions
arose as to where one authority ended
and the other began. The public
quite correctly was told of these CON
flicts of opinion and crisscrossea of
authority; but the public having been
told little of the good and having seen
less of the tremendous constructive ef-
forts, forget sometimes to realize that
defects were incidents only in the
building of entirely new and gigantic
machinery.
To realize what really has been al
ready accomplished one would need q
scope of vision superhuman No one
mind could begin to grasp it all.
An Army of 100000 already mo-
bilizing for active service, Navy fully
manned, completing the first line of
defense, the most gigantic merchant
ship building in the worlds history
now underway, aviation plans on a
scale that makes Germany gasp, pre-
paration for supplies aggregating bill
lions, and work on ordnanc" for bill
lions more, food conservation, Red
Cross, sweeping Encouragement OF
railroad management, plan for in
suring soldiers and their families; all
these and many more projects have
been and are being perfected. That's
the start; much remains to be done
Let the critics point out flaws and
faults still to be corrected, for criti-
cism based on sanity and honest mo-
tives is wholesome. But let the critic
remember, too, as Americans, that in
a few months we have been forced to
show the world that popular govern
ment and efficiency will 60 hand in
hand. An autocrattic power, the yes
and no of every question centered in
one guiding mind, no doubt secures
certain kind of efficiency with
greater ease. But a popular govern

its strength in the working of many
