Havre, June 26.-Belgians in the
districts occupied by Germans, es-
pecially Mons, are fearful that the
Germans intend to deport them to

cavilling and playing on words when
they assert "deportion of workers to
Germany has ceased"

case, deportions to Northern France,

War As An Antidote.

Woolworth Co. has had little trou-
BILE in securing merchandise, except
cotton goods. What the company
used to import from Germany and
Austria is now being made in Ameri-
ca, including crockery, tinware and
toys.-New York Daily News Record,
June 8.
Thus the great war act sas an an
tidote to the Underwood Free-Trade
Tariff. 1t shuts off importations
from abroad and thereby gives en-
ployment to great numbers OF Amer
lean wage earners. In commercial
and economical sense the war has
been of vast benefit to this country,
especially in affording Protection to
domestic labor and industry.

We notice IN an esteemed contem.
porary the following" There arc
thousands of people to-day who are
holding President Wilson individual-
ly responsible for our having to fight
Germany just because he happens to
be at the head of the Nation" Well
if he kept us out of war for two
years and more and took unto him
self all of the credit for our being
out of war, in November, and prior
thereto, and was reelected for that
special purpose and upon that special
plea, then why are we--?
The article last above referred to
closes as follows: True blue Ameri-
cans though, irrespective of politics,
1t makes no difference as to how
the things we may say are construed,
We are for the good old U. S. A.,
first, last and all of the time, know
ing our heart and it's desires, we
are perfectly assured that We love
our Country it's traditions and in
situations, and the Flag, yes, even
every star and stripe emblazoned
upon the tattered old Rag, and set by
the blood of Patriots. for which IF
you will excuse me my Father and
Grandfather gave UP four of the best
years of their lives. Our love for,
and devotion to this Country in it's
every nook and Granny, we feel is
sometimes passionate and at all times
reverent. Not in spite of, but be-
cause of all of this, it is reserved for
us and we reserve unto ourselves not
maliciously, only in spirit of hon
est mindedness and fairness, to crit
icise and differ with any man, tho
he be upon that pedestal high above
and over us all, because his rights are
only man-given, and therefore no
more sacred than those of the most
humble law abiding citizen. To take
a different view, and impughn to
those who may fairly and honestly
offer criticism, as unamerican and of
unpatriotic motives, is most always
out of order and at this particular
time in our judgment, especially
hurtful.

KAISER WANTS BULGARIA
TO BREAK WITH L. 5.

Copenhagen, June 27.-Germany
is bringing strong pressure on Bull
garia to induce that country to break
off relations with the United States,
according to information received
here. Official and public opinion in
Bulgaria is against break, and the
only circumstance which it is said
would turn sentiment in favor of a
rupture would be the appearance of
American troops in Saloniki, posi-
bility that seems to have been sug-
gested to Bulgaria.

UNCLE SAM TO HOLD
CONSUMPTION HAND

Washington, June 27.-Regulation
for drafting the new national army
now awaiting President Wilson's APP
proval, contain provision for every
step in the great undertaking except
the actual method of the draft itself.
No official announcement has been
made and official confirmation is be-
ing withheld, but it has been stated,
and generally is accepted here as true
| that the Federal Government itself
will do the drafting, probably here in
Washington, so there will be no OPP
portunity for local favorites, political
or otherwise.
Every Man Bears Number.
AS the regulations stand now every
registered man bears number. The
numbers will be forwarded to Wash
ington, and the drawing will be en-
tirely by number.
The identity of the numbered men
will be unknown to those in charge
of the draft machinery. and can be
established only by comparing a num-
Der with a printed list of the mans
home district.
AS the numbers are drawn they
will be telegraphed TO the home dis
tricts, where the registered men will
learn if they have been drafted.
To Decide Those Exempt.
Then the question of examination
will come up, and this will go before
the local boards. If man is exempt
ed the man bearing the number which
was drawn next in order will take
his place, and so on.
In this way all those available for
service out of the 100000 who
registered will be made ready for the
country's call, and from them the
first increment of 1000 will be as
sembled. The others will be called
as the need develops as the war goes
on.
Plenty of time will be given for
drafted men to arrange their personal
affairs and report to the environments.
1t is hoped to have them all in train
ing by September 1, or very soon
thereafter.

London, June ga dispatch to
the Times from Athens says that as
soon as Parliament is convoked M.
Veni zelos will probably propose to
the Deputies that Greece join the
Allies. He does not intend, however,
to moboliZe the nation against its
will. He is expected first to under
take a great campaign explaining to
the people that Greece's interests
are bound up in the Entente cause.
If his mission is successful he will
be able in about three months to put
the entire forces of Greece into the
balance.

says it is stated on good authority
that M. Venizelos will form a Cabinet
not later than Wednesday.

 Particularly clever Is the story which has to do with Evelyn Garden, who at | the age of 42, finds that she must have a fling at life.
 Married when she was 21, because of a
 Quaker bringing-up she felt that she had to spend her time between the duties
 of housekeeping and looking after her husband ard children. Although she had plenty of money she, nevertheless, had the instinct to pose herself in the back ground of her setting. So she allowed her husband, professor of economics, to give the color and movement to the pie ture, while she. in black and white and
 mauves provided the shadows of the background

 subtle, and worse, she had sense o1 humor. She saw but one thing-a mother
 of whom she was jealous.
 | When, after three months of travel | Martha returned to their new home, she found her mother the centre of group of admiring young men. And of these the most admiring was John Carr, whom Martha coveted. Martha carried a pro- test to her father. In a delightful hu- morous scene she speaks to her father about this substitution on her mothers s part of pink for mauve. Absent-mindedly the father promises to inquire of the mother, and he does so with a twinkle in his eye. It is in this sense, subtly, piquantly, and, wlthal realistically told, that Evelyn leaves her background and becomes a part of the color and move ment of her picture
