Men-Money-Food.
Those are the prime war needs Of
the United States.
The call to the colors is not meeting
with the response that encourages the
belief that a sufficient number Of vol
unteers can be obtained to bring the
army aud navy up to war strength.
Congress is taking care of the finan-
cial problem.
The matter of sufficient food is
squarely up to the American farmer.
Chairman Dent of the house COM
mittee on military affairs and other
'little army" men In congress are still
hnmpering President Wilson's efforts
TO put through the selective consrip-
ton army bill. They demand that the
volunteer system be given 80 or 90
days trial In the opinion of the pres
ident, Secretary Baker and the general
staff, this would come very near to
wasting 80 or 90 Invaluable days.
The presidents plan for a seleetive
draft is designed TO permit the exemp-
ton Of men who, while fit for military
service, would be more useful to the
nation in other capacities by reason
OF their skill and experience in other
lines. The advocates OF universal mil
ltnry trimming consider this measure a
temporary expedient but are not COM
batting 1t because they think It neces-
sary now. They have not, however,
abandoned the fight for universal
training and the Chamberlain bill,
which embodies their ideas, may be
tackled on to the administration meas
ure. II this is found inexpedient it
win be pushed as a follow up" de-
signed to place the military service Of
the country on the proper footing for
all time.
On Thursday the war department
announced that all men who had join
ed the army after April 6, the date of
the presidents war proclamation,
would be considered volunteers for the
period of the war only. A call for
100000 men was issued for the regular
army and National Guard, in order to
give the volunteer plan a try-out while
congress discusses the matter.
To provide finances for prosecuting
the war, both for America and for the
entente allies, the administration bill
authorizing a bond issue of $4,000, ,000,-
900 was introduced in the house
Wednesday and came up for debate
Thursday. There was no reason to
doubt its speedy passage through con.
gress, for partisanship was laid aside
Three billion dollars of the sum is to
be lent to the entente allies. There Is
added to the measure a provision fol
the issuance, as needed, of $1,000, 900,
600 in one-year treasury notes to an
ticipnte the tax receipts from the wal
revenue bill.
Food Production Plans.
Taking n leaf from the book of Eu
ropes terrible experience, the wise mel
OF America have been quick to recog
nlze the fact that the nations success
in this war must depend in great meas

Copper In. Ancient Days.

Copper, among the ancient Hebrews,
was used in making helmets, spears
and other implements of war. The ex-
preston "bow Of STEEL" found in Job,
should be rendered show Of copper"
Copper could not have been applied to
these uses without the artisans pos
sessing some forgotten secret for rem
dering the metal harder and more elias
tic than we can make it today.

BOARD MUST INSPECT STOCK
Attorney General Tells What 1t Must
Do in Case of Contagion
Among Cattle.

Columbus.-The, attorney general
has just given a ruling to the Board of
Agriculture that it is it's duty to make
a proper examination when notice
comes that cattle are affected with a
dangerously contagious disease. The
board, after applying a quarantine,
may make an examination to deter
mine whether it should be continued
or whether there is to be a destruc-
ton of animals after a quarantine has
long been continued.
The board may make an appraisal
only when it is necessary to destroy
animals. 1t may adopt any necessary
rules that are reasonable. Disinter-
ested citizens are to fix the value of
animals slaughtered.

Not a Personal AIIusion.

In youth We long for maturity, and
IN maturity we yearn for the happy
days of childhood. Whatever is be-
yond reach seems somehow to be Just
the thing most desirable. You have
noticed the donkey leave his own grass
to hang his head over the fence, with
dropping ears and drooling mouth, and
look longingly upon the next field,
where the grass, though precisely like
his own, seems to him ever SO much
sweeter? Well, the extra sweetness is
all in the fence. And not all donkeys

Favors Added Suffrage.

Columbus.-In granting a writ of
mandamus to Sophia Taylor against
the members of the board of deputy
supervisors of elections for Cuyahoga

nicipal elections. The decision grants

Importance of the airplane in our de-
fensive system has long been recog-
nized by military and naval leaders,
up till this time no effort has been
made to study the atmospheric con-
ditions which have so great an effect
on the successful operation of these
machines. tyH
A thorough study of the atmosphere
over this continent and it's adjacent
waters and the drafting of a set of ac-
curate charts for our aviatOrs has
been recommended to the advisory
committee for aeronautics by DIR.

The gist of the committees advice
to the farmer is to leave nothing un-
done till tomorrow that can be done
today; to utilize every moment of the
present in getting farm implements in
condition for work; to get animals in
the best of shape for the hardest kind
of labor, so that no time need be lost
when the time comes to use them and
to systematic the planting and grow
ing Of crops.

BEST IN WORLD
That Is What Britt Says About
Benny Leonard.
Patsy Haley Thinks Champion
Just a Good Dub.
BY JACK VEOICK.

New York, Dec. flames Edward
Britt. who is now a Beau Drummer
among the voodville performers, has
stirred things up among some of the
oId-tine fans and critics by declaring
positively that Benny Leonard is the
best lightweight the ''wurrold' has
ever had.
Jeems, despite the fact that he has
fought the good ones and is ranked
as one of the greatest of old-timers
himself, deducted, after seeing Leon
ard battle that there has never been
a more capable mitt-wielder in light
weight ranks, and probably will not
be another for ages to come, who can
claim anything on Leonard
Different Opinion.
But while Britt is entitled to his
opinions-and they are all in favor or
Benny-Patsy Haley. who was one
time regarded as a remarkable boxer,
opines Just the opposite. Says Patsy:
Cans would have picked Leonard
off inside of ten rounds. He was the
daddy of 'em all, and rightly named
the old Master Cans was deadly.
He dropped his men cold in their
tracks, while Leonard has never
knocked an opponent out as cleanly
as that. They're either hanging help
less on the ropes or taking the count
with 95 per cent of their wits gone
when Leonard takes decisions from
them. 1t was always curtains when
Cans hit you.
Thinks Leonard Dub?
Then there's Kid Lavigne," con-
tinued Pat THE Kid would have
torn Leonard in two. The Lavigne
that Britt whipped was only a shell,
that's all. He wasn't the Lavigne
who battered the heart out of Joe
Walcott, not by whole lot"
Here are the opinions of two old
timers. Everybody has his opinion,
and a perfect right to it, and if every
body agreed there wouldn't be any
interest in boxing or any other sport
But >the opinions of these two old
scrappers do not detract from Leon
ards glory. What somebody else
might have done to him doesn't stand
in comparison with what he has been
doing to the best of the day and age
