Doesn't Want Day Marred
by Drunkenness

Washington, Sept. 19.-ApprOxi-
mately 274,8OO men will leave their
homes beginning today on Americas

ments are located. There colored
troops also will be mustered In.
Crowder Wants Bars Closed.
Provost Marshal General Crowder is
sued this appeal to governors:
"a large percentage Of your popula-
ton is about to leave home for the un-
certainties of a soldiers life. While
not an occasion for sorrow, it is e
day for solemnity. 1t Is especially In
appropriate that 1t be marred by drunk
enness
Therefore, suggest you consider
closing Of saloons during such hours
preceding entrainment Oh the next and
subsequent mobilization days."
Appeals to Governors.
General Crowder delivered this final
ruling on exemption appeals:
1. There Is no appeal to the presi-
culture or industry.
2. No evidence not submitted to dis
trfct boards will be considered by the
president.
The provost marshal general ruled,
however, dependency claims declined
by district boards may be appealed to
state governors.
Senators and congressman will be
powerless to aid drafted constituents
May Call All Drafted Men.
1t is practically certain that the T.
0OO,O00 men not called for examination
in the first draft will be called up and
either enrolled for service or exempt
ed Immediately. Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder put the question of call
ing these men for examination now up
to referendum vote of state COVER
nors.
Ten have replied. Eight favor the
suggestion. One is strongly opposed to
it, While the remaining one is against
It, but Is willing to listen to arguments
In its favor and follow the decision Of
the majority.
The names Of the governors are held
confidential by General Crowder.

SEEK CURE OF ELECTR0LYsl
Government Experts Aid In Installing
System to Prevent Damage to
Metal Structures.

The damage done annually to under
ground pipes, cables and other metal
structures In this country by electroly-
sis amounts to many millions of dol
lars. There are very few water, gas
or lead cable systems that are not
more or less subject at some points to
electrolytic damage from stray cur
rents. Moreover, the loss does not
consist merely in the shortening of
the life of such structures; electroly-
tic damage Is one Of the causes Of the
leakage Of water and gas from distrib-
ution systems. The failure Of such
systems on account Of electrolytic ac-
tion may also involve various dangers
to the life and health Of human beings.
According to the bureau Of standards
more than 25 separate and distinct
methods Of dealing with the electrOly-
sis problem have been proposed and
experimental with from time to time.
Some Of these methods are useless, or
even harmful. The bureau Of stand
ards has been studying the subject of
electrolysis mitigation for the last six
years, and has aided in installing COM
plete mitigative systems In several
cities. The bureau makes somewhat
detailed tests in each Of these places
about once a year to make sure that
the protective systems are being prop
erly maintained. An extended series
of experiments has recently been un-
dertaken in the city of Springfield,
Mass, with the so-called three wire
system Of electric railway operation;
system which offers considerable
promise for the mitigation Of electroly-
sis troubles under certain conditions
frequently met with in cities.

FLOUR FAMINE is RlDICULED
Master Bakers Told Wheat Crop Will
Exceed Estimates.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Prophecies of
famine in -four and foodstuffs were
called fabrications of the imagination
by B. A. Eckhart, chairman of the fed
eral food administrations committee
on milling for the Chicago go-Milwaukee
district, in message to the National
Association OF Master Bakers, which
met In the Sherman hotel. His paper
read:
There Is no danger of famine in
foods. The wheat crop will be 49,
100000 bushels greater than the esti-
mates and it's quality will be equally
as good. Knowing this, 1t is pure fab
r1cation to say that there will be
famine in breadstuffs this winter.
"Nor need there be fear because
farmers are not shipping their wheat
as rapidly as the millers would
like. There are two causes for this:
First, the lateness of all crops;
second, the fact that the farmers are
too busy to haul grain.

webster-Stone-La Toilette

What the fierce March winds OF 1850
did to Daniel Webster, the March
winds are doing to Stone, of Missouri,
to LaFollette, of Wisconsin, and to the
hitler men who have betrayed the ideals
of Americanism. The Senate chamber
was the Gene of Webster's fall. 1t is
the place which nine of these 1917 rec
reants still disgrace.
Eager for the Presidency, anxious to
conciliate the South, the slavocracy,
seeking political ad vantage, Webster
listened to the plea of Henry Clay and
chose to oppose the Wilmot Proviso to
keep slavery forever out of the country
acquired from Mexico. 1t was on
March 7, precisely sixty-seven years
ago Wednesday last, that Webster, the
mighty orator, so long trusted and adj
mired by Massachusetts and New Eng
land, sacrificed forever his place in the
esteem of his constituents. What he
said vas s%kilIfully phrased. After de-
claring that all natural conditions for
babe slavery in California, New Mexi-
co and Utah, he added:
/ would not take the pains uselessly
to reaffiIm an ordinance of nature. nor
to re-enact the will of God. l would
put in no Wilmot Proviso for the mere
purpose Of a taunt and a reproach.
This was enough. 1t defied New
England sentiment. A new meaning
was given to the ] lanes Russell Lowell
lines, massachusetts, God forgive her;
she's a-kneeling with the rest" lines
written when the Wing Representa-
tives voted to declare war on Mexico
in response to the Presidents message
of May IL, 1916. Ralph Waldo Emer-
son declared, "He became to me the
type of decay. X X \ He had a won.
derful intellect, but of what impor-
lance is that when the rest of the man
ia gomez" John G. Whittier wrote his
immortal "Ichabod," partially mod
flied later in 1.-THE Lost Occasion:"
So fallen, so lost, the light Withdrawn
Which once he wore,
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Forevermore.
Revile him not, the Tempter hath
A snare for all,
And plying tears, not scorn or wrath,
Beit his fall.
Stone is not a Webster in intellect
La Follette's oratory is vox praeteris
nihil, compared with the great Daniels.
But In selfishness of motive these two
men rank with the Sage Of Marshfield.
To hold the German vote, strong in
Missouri and strong in Wisconsin, they
sought to hamper an American Presi
dent. They deserve all the criticism
they are getting, and they are, indeed
as dead as Daniel Webster was after
that speech of March 7, 1850, had been
Internationally Eagle.
