Hands OF Child labor Law.

Nothing but evil can result from
the effort which is already taking
form in some parts of the country to
abrogate or change the laws relating
TO child labor under cover of "war
necessity" Several Senators from
the South are said to favor such a
project, but Senator Overman of
North Carolina. who is leading the
movement, and several Of his col
leagues declare themselves ready to
change their own opinions if con-
WINGED that the plan would work
against Americas greatest useful
ness during the war. The futility Of
the plan is evident enough in the
bald statement made by some of its
advocates: Going on the theory that
selective CONSUMPTION will draw from
fields and factories Of the country

plea is made to "let the children do

The Real Beginning Of the War

The signing Of the new army bill
by the President with the giving
out Of his proclamation requiring the
registration Of all male citizens be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and
thirty-one, marks the real beginning
Of the war with Germany. The fact
that ten million citizens may be reg
istered and that provision has been
made for an army Of two million
men by selecting the best and most
suitable Among the ten million
should have its effect even upon the
Junker mind and persuade the peo-
pie Of Germany that future sacrifices
will be useless with the certainty of
ultimate defeat.
Americans are already fighting in
France, in French and British units,
a medical CORPS has arrived at the
scene of action, our destroyers are
hunting down the submarines, and
Major General Pershing is soon to be
sent to the front with a division of
regulars. Officers for the new army
are being trained in numerous
camps, Of which Fort Myer and
Plattsburg are only samples. The
greatest sums of money ever pro-
vided by any nation are being Sc
cured by taxation and the sale of
bonds and then appropriated by Con-
gress.
The war is on. Slackers and cow
ards to the rear. And as for traitors
in public or private life
oh, for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason like a deadly blight
Comes DER the councils OF the brave
And blasts them in their hour of
might
May life's unbleEsed cup for him
Be drUgged with treacheries to the
brim,
With hopes that but allure to fly,
With joys that vanish while he
sips;
Like Dead Sea fruits that tempt the
eye
But turn to ashes on the lips.

In the Matter Of Registration

The Times publishes today the reg
istration districts of the District to-
gether with complete and definite in
struction by authority Of the Com
missioners. 1t is the duty of every
citizen to note well the place of reg
istration and the instructions to be
followed, and to remember the date,
namely, the fifth day Of June. This
is not an optional registration, but it
should be conducted in the spirit Of
the Presidents noble words, that
''the day be approached in thought
full apprehension of its significance
that it be carried in all our
hearts as a great day Of patriotic de-
votion and obligation" If this duty
is performed in this spirit, there will
be no need to point out the pains
and penalties that will follow even
carelessness and neglect in so great
q matter.

What the People Are Thinking

Flood of Virginia put into the Rec
ord the following resolution of the
Virginia Council of Defense:
Whereas the Congress of the
United States has delayed beyond
reason the enactment of laws
necessary to put the country in a
state of defense and has disclosed
an alarming division OF opinion
and vacillation of purpose; there
fore, be It
Resolved. That the Council Of
Defense OF Virginia do now urge
Congress to accept leadership and
support the President by forth
with enacting the laws which are
essential to the safety OF the ma
ton;
Resolved, That the secretary be
directed to communicate these
resolutions to the President and
Virginia's Representatives in
Congress.
What the people of Virginia are
thinking in their hearts the people
of all the other States are thinking,
It should be added that the admoni-
ton to the Virginia delegation in
House and Senate is less needed than
by some other groups Of Senators
and Representatives that might be
named. The only leadership visible
today is that of the President. In
the absence of Congressional leader
ship the manifest duty Of patriotic
Congressman is "to accept leader
shin of the President"

lFRoM THE FRENCH OF GREGoIRE
LIE ROY.)
An Old woman spins. and her wheel
that whirrs
Babies OF joys that once were hers.
She's q child again: her eyelids close.
The humming wheel to a plaything
grows.
Yellow the fax, but white Is her hair.
The better to hear she bends from
her chair;
And as she leans, more slowly flies
The buEzing, babbling wheel-that
lies,
The deceitful wheel goes round. and
round,
1t wilders her brain with its whirrins
The cleaning thread with its tongue
OF gold
Lures her back to the days of old;
Under the spell Of its beautiful hue
Watching It glide she's beautiful too;
The old head mods, and mods in a
trance.
Dancing again In a Maypole dance.
Slower the little wheel by and by:
Its humming now is as soft as q sigh:
And blent with the murmur sweet
and low -,-
Her lover wOoes in the long ago.
The woof of the shining fax is spun,
The old hands grieve that their wOrk
IL done:
For when the wheel had turned its
last,
The spell was broken, the dream was
past.
