Paragraphs Pertinent to
ConScnption Registration

The war department is gratified by
the spontaneous offers of uncom-
pensated assistance in carrying out
the work of registration.
One father in offering 10 serve as
registrar writes: L have two sons
in the guard and one in the regular
army but 1 want 10 do my own little
bit" This is typical of hundreds of
letters. All such offers properly
should be made 10 the governors.

IL is important that all shall un-

with which the government has ap-

No one can absent himself, nor can
the well-to-do man hire another TO
represent him on the occasion. The
country's manhood viii present
itself on this day and by so doing
will say in effect: Here am I. Take

Not only has the individual cit

PUNISHMENT FITS THE CRIME

The United States immigration department has decided
to send the Is Italian poerS arrested at Seattle back to
Italy for trial. This of making the punishment fit
the crime 1t was Italy, their own country they were
plotting against and it is up to Italy to fix their punish
men 1t is ten to bet that had the poters had any
idea they would be sent to Italy to be tried there would
have been any plotting They knew the loose in
which laws enforced in this country and the puerle
way in which criminal trials conducted They know
that in American court the interests of the prisoner
safeguarded that conviction next to impossible
One friend the jury will do the trick and besides
rules governing the admission of evidence such that it
requires positive evidence to convict The defendant need
not any questions take the stand unless he
desires In Italy it is different The defendant is
quired to make some showing for himself. He must
answer questions and show where he at the time of
the commission of crime with which he is charged
Here he is given the third degree in private and what
he says cannot be used against him if he chooses to
repudiate it. In Italy he gets his third degree the wit
ness stand and any admission he makes counts against
him. The sending Of these traitors to their country
and enemies of this to their home for trial is the correct
thing and besides is example that will make others
hesitate before plotting treason to this any other

HIS DREAM DISPELLED

It is quite natural for everyone to have pleasant
recollection Of the home of his childhood 1t is also
natural to have very erroneous idea of it. 1t is this
trait that causes so many Germans to have deep
sympathy for their "fatherand" They picture it from
memory which has smoothed away the harsh features
and leaves but the pleasing things to be remembered We
are moved to this hoily by the actions Of German in
front of the Capital Journal bulletin board few
ings ago. He stopped Journal employe tackled up
few bulletins among them from the British front

"That is right feel sorry to so many good Ger
man men killed. but it is the only way They do not want
to fight but they cannot help themselves. They fight

know it, though most don't have false ideas about

from what they had been, but had forgotten soon

and it was but few days until was on my way back

Germany is enemy of his people, though he
does not know it. 1t is too bad the good fellows have to
be killed but it is the only way and the faster they are

will be so augmented as to effect a
permanent reduction in the cost OF
living through the utilization Of more
fish food alone, for in the sea there
lies a supply of food as limitless as
the waves that sweep above it.
The English sparrow, heretofore
recognized as a pest in America, is
becoming popular for use in sparrow
pie. Sparrow pie has been stand
ard English dish for many genera
tons. The rabbit also is becoming a
source of food in America. In vari-
GUS parts of the United States the
rabbit is now being raised both for
fur and meat A California Com
pany has been formed to pack rabbit
meat as tinpotted hare. The United
States Government also is inyestigat-
ing the feasibility of utilizing as food
the Western jack rabbit, which now
is killed by millions every year as
pest. It is maintained by the DEPART
ment of Agriculture that jack rabbit
is coed game when fresh and that
the hams, when smoked, will COM
pare with German goose hams.
The conservation of fat is equally
as important as the conservation Of
food, and We are rapidly learning 10
eliminate waste in garbage. The New
York garbage is now yielding the
following by-products: 20 million
cakes of soap, l.500 tons OF nitrate
of glycerine, 2G00 tons of phos-
phoric acid, 500 tons of potash.
The garbage in IS cantonments
will be sold to a contractor for feed-
ing swine, yielding the government
S446.000 annually. It is estimated that
this is equal to the production OF
nineteen million pounds of pork an
nually.
Thus, we see that, in the final
analysis, this is a war which must be
won by Thrift.
