NEW YORK, Sept. 25-Mass meet
ings OF all kinds and varieties are
commonplace affairs in New York.
Scarcely day goes By without mass
meeting Of some sort to protest ABOUT
something or raise funds for some
thing else. but New York is soon to
see the first of a series OF mass meet
ings designed to protest against the
proposed policy of the government
TO compel the mass meters to be-
come grave diggersl Doesn't sound
possible, does it? If you don't believe
il, write to the League of Conscien-
tious Directors and they will tell you
it is true.
The conscientious DIRECTORS" are
willing to pray-they won't fight,
having a conscientious objection" to
war-but they certainly do object to
being forced into service as grave
diggers And that is what the war
department proposes to do with them.
They will be sent to France to dig
the graves for and bury the brave
men who die in action.
Charles Sonneshien. head of the
league, thinks the proposition is
public scandal.
I'VE consider it a national disgrace
to be placed in the category of grave
diggers," he said, with more show
of rage than an all wool and yard
wide c. 0. ought to own. THE hui
initiation of the DIRECTORS is keenly
felt and their Indignation knows no
bounds. Every conscientious objector
in the country will be given chance
10 express his opinion about being
classed as grave digger.
ITO hell with grave digging! We
want something more cheerful
One would not have imagined that
a real G. O. could muster sufficient
resisting force to indulge in this
character of denunciation. but the
amperage of the c. O.'s is at full tilt,
and if the heat continues some of
them may get angry enough to enlist.

Family Arguments.

Argument is one of the four bases of
conversation. 1t is one of the best men,
tai exercises. But in the bosom Of the
family, on unimportant matters, it is
perhaps the most prolific breeder Of
Immature that the average family cir
Gle has to fear. Few persons can
triumph in an argument without pride
in the defeat of the opponent, who, in
his humiliation, too often resorts to
sarcasm to cover his defeat. Sarcasm,
a weapon unworthy of gentlelady or a
gentleman, creates hostility, begets ill
nature, and so the average family dis
pute begins.
One is inclined sometimes to Won
der if argument, except on matters of
definite Importance, should not be
barred from the family circle. Its re-
striction to a minimum would be
good. Only those who can win without
eXultant triumph, only those who can
lose with a smile and an admission of
defeat should permit themselves to en-.
gage in it except when vital decisions
are necessary. Peace, love, good fell
lOwship are essential to a happy fami'
ly.-Milwaukee Journal.
