THEIR PURPOSE

I'm more ways than on,
there is ground for genu
inc astonishment over tn,
German attempt to align Mex
. lea and Japan against the Uni
ted States. For one thing it j.
| amazing Germany should think
it possible to carry through
such a proceeding with sue
lcess.
| Japan would be insane were
that country to take up with
such scheme. Japan's navy
is not equal to the navy of the
United States and a war with
this country would be a fool
ish war for Japan to initiate.
On top of that Japan would
have the allied fleets, includ-
ing that of Britain, turned
against her, with the result
the Japanese naval force would
quickly be wiped off the sea
and the prestige of the Japa-
nese empire shattered, posi-
bly, for ever.
The position of Japan is no
doubt clear to the German for
eign office and it is not rea-
sonable to suppose Zimmerman
dreamed for a moment that |
the mikado would listen to the |
proposal should it ever reach |
him.
The most logical explanati-
on of the plot is that thinner
man hoped to play on Mexican
credulity so as to arouse trou-
BILE on our border and keep the
United States occupied as much
as possible at home. He hoped

Within short time President

From an authoritative forecast,

Men with aged parents de-
pendent upon them solely.
Men with parents, brothers or

Workers in industries neces-

Officials OF the federal gov
/ ernment, state and county Off
ciais.
! Affidavits are required OF
claimants that parents, wife, or
3 children are dependent -.pon
them.
After the investigation of evil
dence the local boards may
grant exemptions ON these
grounds.
| The regulations fail to specify
what industries are necessary to the
maintenance Of the military orsani-
cation or national interests. all oi
which men are Indispensable to these
industries. The entire decision or
