The Board got permission from the
department. to employ six girls for ten
days to help index the magon load of

division making altogether about A.
900 cards. The names OF every Il

disposition of his case is from the
Local Board.
The task Of handling all these names
and disposing of them as e quli.ed by
the Federal Government Is no small
job. The men on these Boards have
everything but an enyiab!e job. The
work alone would be enough. But the
great responsibility Of saying who

men would want. They were all
drafted for the work and it was only
patriotism that kept them from re-
signing.

GALL my readers particular atten-
ton to facts contained in the follow
ing editorial from the st. Louis Star.
1t il the kaiser's friends and the ad-
vocates of German Kultur who are
bowling ''peace'" these days. They
ignore the atrocities in Belgium and
France, and the danger to all decent
people involved in a peace which
fails to send kaiserism and kulturism
to hell for all time to come:
Early in the war, when the kaiser's
gray legions, prepared to the last
button, were ruthlessly crushing the
Belgians and relentlessly pushing
back the French and the English,
there was heard nowhere in this oun
try a cali for peace. Later, when
Hindenburg captured and killed the
Russians in the marshes of East
Prussia by the hundreds Of thousands,
there was heard nowhere in this u
try a call for peace. The months
rolled by and, although stopped at
Marine and pushed back to the Aisne,
things seemed to be going we'll with
the Kaiser. He threw his forces far
into Russia. He held Belgium in a
wise. He s.rangled Serbia. He ruin
ed and rAvaged Northern France.
Thousands of all nations were killed.
Yet none Of this butchery, this loss,
made any impression upon the peace
advocates. They spake not and they
wrote not. They were silent as the
tomb. But when the the tide seemed
definitely to turn, when England at
last had a great army in the field,
when the Allies exceeded the Ger
mans not only In men, but in guns and
shells, suddenly the peace advocate
came to life, with a noise which has
been redoubled since this country en-
tered the war. In brief, when Ger
many seemed on the point OF winning,
our precious professional peace advo-
Gates kept their mouths closely shut,
In recent months, when the cards
are against the Kaiser, u same
precious peace advocates bleat all
over the place. Why? The answer
IL easy. A peace advocate who scorns
peace when Germany ls winning and
yells his head off TOR peace when Ger
many IL losing, IL just as German as
the Kaiser. He il playing the German
game. True, indeed, that peace is
desired. But 1t must be a peace of
victory for democracy and humanity

Something About Shadows.
Shadows there are in the day.
When Mr.. Sun shines brightly;
But those that people often fear
Are shadows that come nightly.

Did you ever stop to think that there
are shadows when jolly. round. bright
Mr.. Sun is shining his very brightest
and that these shadows almost always
are friendly? 1t is always cooler and
more comfortable in these shadows.
and without them the world just SIM
ply couldn't get along. What we call
shade on hot, sunny day Is nothing
more than a lot of shadows together.
But at night there are other shadows.
the Black Shadows They come creep
ing out from the Purple Hills as soon
as Mr.. Sun goes to bed, and they stay
until he gets up the next morning.
Those shadows also are very welcome
after a hot day, for they mean GOODNESS
and comfort. But also the Black
Shadows of the night sometimes are
fearsome things because Of the things
that are done in them. That is why
most Of the little people Of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest hide as
soon as jolly Mr.. Sun goes to ped.
And that is why certain other little
people who can see among the Black
Shadows do all their hunting then. You
see, 1t is easier for them to surprise
and catch those whom they hunt be-
cause the latter cannot see.
Billy Mink and Mrs. Billy have very
convenient eyes. They can see per-
fectly by day. and they also see at
night. So they sleep whenever they
feel like it. and go hunting whenever
they feel like it. and it makes no real
difference to them whether Mr.. Sun is

OF course, their five children were Just
like them in this respect, and they
were out at night as often as in the
daytime.
Now, Billy and Mrs. Mink are feared
by everybody smaller than themselves
and by many considerably bigger. But
they in their turn are not altogether
without fear. No one knows better
than they that Hooty the Owl wouldn't
hesitate a second to catch one Of them
If he had the chance when he was es-
pecially hungry. There are others on
whom he would much rather dine, but
Hooty isn't overparticular when he is
hungry. AS for young Minks-well.
Hooty wouldn't have to be SO terribly
hungry to be tempted by one. should
the chance offer to catch one.
So Mrs. Billy warned the five little
Minks that the greatest danger they
must watch out for would be in the
air. And she warned them to watch
out for shadows at night.
You see." she explained, that big
robber OF Hooty flies without a
sound. The wings Of the Hawk fam

quick. as every Mink should be. you
can dodge out of danger at the sound
of the wings of any Hawk foolish

are very sharp, as you know, but

of him In the daytime. but at night
you must keep your eyes wide open

The five little Minks said: Yes.

hearts they were sure that they were
too smart to be caught by Hooty or
anybody else, and that Mother was
just a little overanxious, as mothers
are ant to be.

LETTER ADMONISHES ON
STATUS OF CITIZENSHIP
Secretary Lansing Cautious as to
Laxity in Endorsements for Pass
ports and Federal Places.

In order better to guard the interests
Of the United States, Secretary Lansing
has addressed the following circular
letter to whom 1t may concern:
I'm view of present conditions It is
of the utmost Importance that the
loyalty and integrity, as well as the
identity and citizenship. of all persons
who leave the United States on private
business and of all persons who are
employed by the government for serv-
ice in this country or abroad, should
be beyond question. In the issuance of
passports and in the selection of per-
sons for public service it is usually
necessary to rely to a considerable ex-
tent. IL not entirely. upon the recon-
mendation of the persons organiza-
lions by whom the applicants are in
troduced.
There seems to be a most unfor-
tunate laxness In the issuance of in
troductory letters by private individ-
uals. as well as commercial houses,
banks and other organizations. 1t has
frequently happened that individual Is
who had presented letters of the high
est commendation. some of them writ
ten by persons of prominence. were
afterward found to be of questionable
character, and even of doubtful loyalty.
In some instances 1t was found that
the persons introduced were not Ameri-
can citizens. As to such cases, the con-
clusion most favorable to the writer's
had no real acquaintance with the per-
sons introduced and commended to the
department.
1T Is earnestly hoped that hereafter
persons who write letters of introduc-
ton for use in connection with appli-
cations for passports or positions in
the public service will do so only upon
q real acquaintance with the appli-
canfs. and knowledge of their charac-
terf and loyalty. as well as their iden-
a ND Ntf oh In H~I. l~%
be sdeemed to have. been given with a
due sense of responsibility. and the
writer's will be accountable for the
Gpensorship which the letters assume"
