TREES IN INDIA
 ARE AID IN WAR

LONDON, May 14.-Any account of what India has done in the war must include mention of the fact that she has put her mhowra trees at the ser vice of the munitions factories.
 Every traveller in India has seen the mhowra trees, which are plenti- wul in all parts of the country. Soon after the war began it was discover ed that the mhowra was the best source for acetone, which is the chief ingredient of cordite. Up to that time acetone was extracted mainly from wood, corn and starch. In England the British admiralty erected great fact ory to extract acetone from corn.
 Two English scientists in Hydera- Lad discovered that the flowers of the mhowra contained acetone in mucn larger quantities than any other vege- table substance. and large factories were immediately established to sup ply the needs of the munitions plant.

ALSO CURTAIL GAMBLING

Nobody seems to have thought of minimizing gambling as an aid to the
 reduction of the cost of living and
 promotion of efficiency in war and business. Yet any half-informed per
 ion knows that gambling in food
 staples always raises prices when the
 tendency is upward
 Nobody need think twice before
 agreeing that if the Chicago Board of
 Trade would close wheat would take a
 long drop in price in few days. If
 anybody doubts this let him watch
 the price wheat in few days, since the Board was prohibited further
 trading in May wheat and the shorts
 have settled.
 Several of the Allied nations have taken positive steps to curtail intem-
 pcrence. England is blowing up hunt. ing parks and will use them for rais- ing food staples instead of foX-hunt ing Strong efforts are in progress in the United States to put monopolized vacant lands into practical use as farms and gardens.
 What useful function do stock and trade exchanges perform that entities them to continued existence any more than barrooms, faro banks and stud poker games? Do they lower the high cost of living? Do they create any thing-food. clothing, arms or am- intuition? Do they carry anything to market or places of consumption?
 Why not shut down or shut up the Chicago Board of Trade and the New York Stock Exchange and urge the gamblers and their employees to raise spuds or enlist in the army or navy? That would be good for the country at large, and incidentally, good for the lambs.

YOUNG AMERICA TO SERVE.

Within a few weeks agents of the government will be scrutinizing lists of young Americans who come under the provisions of the new selective conscription act.
 Within few days every male citi- zen from twenty-One to thirty years of age will be required to go to an of cial in this division, register, and give particulars as to his occupation, efficiency. those, if any, depending upon his services, and various other things that will enable the war and navy departments to reach conclu- sion as to whether or not he should be called upon to bear arms. There will be no escape from this edict, unless the government decides that Alaskans are of more use to the country by remaining at home and furnishing the smelters of the world the ores with which to manufacture war munitions: all other residents of the States and Territories will have to serve.
 The selective feature of the law will enable the recruiting officers to call into the service at this time only 1 those who can be used to the best ad- vantage with the least disturbance possible to the domestic and commerce 1 ial life of the community. For in- stance. a mechanic whose servlceS
 are required in the factory, or farm-
 CT who can render the nation more
 good as producer, is not likely to be called upon to bear arms because his
 services are required elsewhere. The unoccupied and those having no spec
 ial dependents, in all probability, will
 be the first selected, which is certain
 ly proper rule of procedure. | But if the war is to become greatly prolonged there will be but few that
 will not be called to the colOrs. In the
 latter event there is strong possibil- 1 ity that a conscription measure will tgo to those between the ages of twen- ty-five and forty-flve.
 The government wants young men because they make the best soldiers, and because their habits of life have
 not been so thoroughly formed as their elders. And in view of the fact
 that the selective conscription law is l to be a permanent law of the nation. applicable in times of peace as well as intimes of war it will be generation until every man who is physically
 able will have given from one to three
 years of his life training for the na-
 tional defense.
 iel dependents, in all probability, will
 training 10000 young men to become
 officers of the new army of 5OO,OO0
 to be immediately organized. This training of officers is one of the prere-
 quisites of the service. West Point does not turn them out fast enough.
 Therefore. officers training camps have been established in four centers of the United States, one at San Fran cisco, and intensive training of young
 men, to become officers has cOmmenc-
 ed. It is not difficult to secure in fantrymen. but it is another thing to train an officer, and this government is busily engaged in preparation of this important part of an army's or
 ganization.
