CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS
tn RE rO

~ DE- N<AItID EOTt
The problem Of what shall be done
with the conscientious DIRECTORS"
has been causing Provost Marshal
General Crowder more worry than al
most any other problem connected
with the organization of the armies.
General Crowder's own viewpoint
is one of utter lack of sympathy with
those who ask to be relieved of mill
tary service on the ground of con
sclentious scruples. If he were asked
to give his opinion he no doubt would
insist that a country worth living in
is worth dying for any day in the
week.
At last the grizzled provost general
believes, according to inside Informal
ton, that he has solved the problem.
He has found use for the conscientious
DIRECTORS caught in the draft. They
! will not be relieved from service, but
their service will be of a non-com-
blatant character. They will not fire
rifles or take life. They will be at
tached to the armies of the field, but
will have 10 part in the actual fight
ing.
Among their duties will be the grim
business of cleaning up the battle
fields after the fighting, and burying
the dead. They will be the army's
gravediggers. They will also be en-
ployed in minor labors about the
camps.
A name has been devised for them
that will not be hardsh to the ears.
The g%ravedigging corps will be known
as the "mercy squadron" 1t will
sound better in future generations,
the war department believes, to say
that ones forbear was in the "mercy
squadron" than he was a gravedigger.
They also will be used in construct
ing ear lines. There are a good
many thousands Of conscientious OBJ
j~ectors. Every cantonment and camp
has them. Persons who objected on
the grounds of a well-defined religious
belief were exempted from the draft.
The squadron of mercy comprises
those who object to fighting on con
scientious grounds, but are not men,
bers of religious sects that oppose
war.

and second, to teach the means of de-
tense and self protection against even
the most fiendish of German flammen-
waffers. Flame throwers are of yerv
simple device. A specially mixed and
highly inflammable oil carried in a
portable reservoir is forced by COM
preston through a hose and out of a
long nozzle at the end of which is a
tiny flame that ignites the passing
spray. The heat to the manipulation
is very intense and he has to be espe-
cially hooded. Some of the heavier
German types require two or three
men to operate them and throw
flames fifty yards or more.

Silverware in
the Home

Silverware shares this distinction with
. books, that it lends an atmosphere Of refine
ment to the home.
It has even something of the compan-
ionable quality of books, for one never tires
of it's society.
Above all, silverware is substantial
it carries weight, both literally and fgur-
atively-it contributes something to the
home which is out of all proportion to the
cost-it lends to it's surroundings the radi-
ance of intrinsic worth-it has the hospital
ity of friendship and the integrity and i'm
perishability Of home.
But whether you buy silverware
for ornament or for use
for table or for mantel-
for sideboard or for center piece
for beauty or for service
for breakfast, luncheon dinner or
tea-do not forget that
