CAMP TAYLOR
HEALTHY CREW
Few Of Total New Soldiers
Are Unfit For Service in
Army.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct 15-That
the 5000 or more drafted men from
Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky now at
Camp Zachary Taylor are healthy
lot to begin with, and are being we'll
taken care of is shown by the small
number reported as relieved from duty
on account of illness, and even then
this number includes large proper
ton of men, not sick. but temporarily
dise bled by sore arms resulting from
incubation against typhoid or VAGINA
tion against small pox.
The base hospital report shows there
are about 800 patients receiving treat
nent there, which is only about one
percent of the men IN camp. To this
number must be added men who while
net actually on the hospital lists are
excused from drill because Of sore
arms The total excused from duty
for all causes Is less than two per.
cent:
There is another class included In
the base hospital report, the elimina-
ton of which would reduce this num-
Der markedly and these are those who
upon being re-examined physically
have been found apparently unfit and
are being held for further observa-
ton.
Col. John H. Allen, division medical
officer IN discussing odd cases of dis
ability recently indicated his belief
that some exemption board have been
lax IN their examinations in an effort
to make a record in furnishing their
quota.
Several men have been found to be
of unsound mind, and others were suf-
fering from various disabilities. It is
to sift those who might possibly be at
tempting to stimulate disabilities
from the genuine cases that naakes it
necessary to hold for further observa-
tion some of those who fail to pass on
denomination after reaching the
camp.

In q New England town local ce-

when he pleaded guilty. It evidently

SOME OF THE THINGS COUNTY
AGENTS ARE DOING.

The following is extracted from
Federal publication, which contains
review of activities and sugges-
lions from the Office Of Extension
in the North and West:
Among the Immediately practical

the more than 500 county agents in
the Northern and Western states

cally 100000 farm bureau members
in the way of increasing and stimu-
lating food production may be men,
toned the following:

date aid of the farmers in the con-
troll of plant diseases through dem
onstrations in the spring spraying
of fruits, the treatment of oats for
smut, potato seed for scab, and are
now stimulating potato spraying for
blight in all potato-growing sections.
The results of campaigns put in by
the agents with the farmers of their
counties in treating seed oats for
smut in 1915 averaged an increase
of II bushels per acre and in 1916, 8
bushels per acre, from the fields Of
farmers cooperating with the agents
in this work, and at a cost in 1916 of
less than 10 cents per acre.

loot remains problematical.

Taxation of profits is not enough.
There must be limitation of prices as
we'll Whether this is to be done by
individual initiative or governmental
coercion is a matter for business men
to decide for themselves. One thing
they may be sure of. This war is not
to be period of uninterrupted pillag-
ing of the public.
SO far as the Government is con-
cerned, it can easily take care of it
self, and in the main it has done SO
but the relation of the consumer to
the problem is different matter. He
cannot take care of himself and unles
provision is made for his protection
this country will face a most serious
economic crisis, which cannot be met
by the customary process of raising
wages and then raising prices again
to meet the wage increase.
Nobody is asking sacrifices of bust
ness such as everybody demands of
the men who are sent to the front.
It is not expected to die for it's coun-
try, but only to be moderate and rea-
sonable, and if it cannot do that much
voluntarily it must be made to do
it.
There is something more than dol
lars and cents to be considered in
connection with this question. Far
more important is the sense of social
wrong and injustice that will soon be
infamed unless there is an appreci-
able decrease in the general cost of
living, and in this aspect of the case
the President is not guilty of eXag-
geration when he says prices mean
victory or defeat" On the issue OF
patriotism or plumber American bust
ness must soon take a definite stand.

A REFLECTION ON GERMAN
AMERICANS.
(FrOm the CommOner.


Those who are suggesting that
German Americans called into our
army should be accorded different
treatment from those who trace their
ancestry to other lands do injustice
to this large element of our popula-
ton. The German-American is part
of our nation; this is his HOME, and
he must share the destiny of his fell
low Americans. If he is in sympathy
with American institutions he can
have no sympathy with the autocratic
methods or the imperialistic aims OF
the German government He can not
afford to separate himself from his
neighbors. Brother fought brother in
the civil war; relative must, if neces-
sary, fight relative in the present war

WE MUST WIN.
fRV " L BRYAN

Those who, before the United States
entered the war, thought it better to
remain neutral and postpone until at
ter the war the settlement Of differ
ences with belligerent nations. will
have no difficulty in recognizing the
change in the situation caused by orr
own nations entrance into the war.
Had we remained neutral we might
have been able to act as mediator and
thus rendered an important service to
the world. In entering the war, how
ever, we surrendered that opportunity
and incurred the enmity of the centra
powers. A new situation, therefore,
confronts us. We must not only pro
tect ourselves from those who are now
our enemies, but we must find an OPP
portunity for world service in aiding
to arrange a permanent peace, built on
justice, liberty and democracy.
WE MUST WIN. Defeat is incon-
ceivable-it would be indescribably
unfortunate if it were possible. We
can not allow any foreign nation to
determine the destiny of the United
Subsequently, nation committed
as Germany is, to arbitrary govern
ment and militarism.
Neither can we afford to have our
allies overcome-that would bring up
on us the disasters of defeat or the
burden of carrying on the war alone
We are in. the war by action of con-
gress-the only body authorized to
take the nation into war. The quick
est way to peace is to go straight
through, supporting the government
in all it undertakes, no matter how
long the war lasts or how much it
costs.
WE MUST WIN.
Any discord or division, after the
government has acted, would prolong
the war and increase it's cost in money
and men

Austria SHOULD BE HELPED.

AUSTRIA SHOULD BE HELfED.
In his Flag Day speech the Presi-
dent said:
Austria is at the German military
statesmen's mercy. 1t has acted not
upon it's own initiative or upon the
choice of, it's own people, but at Ber-
Inns dictation ever since the war be-
gun. It's people now desire peace, but
can not have it until leave is granted
from Berlin.
Conditions have changed somewhat
since Flag Day. A large majority OF
the German people now desire peace as
ardently as their Austrian neighbors.
The German Reichstag has, by large
vote, declared in favor of peace with
out indemnities or the annexation OF
territory. But the Kaiser has not yet
given up his dream of world domina-
ton. Neither has he consented to re-
forms which would give the German
people the power to govern them
selves: and. until he does that, there
can be no peace. No nation will take
the Kaisers word. or even his written
agreement for anything. He COM
menced the present war by wantonly
attacking Belgium in violation of his
solemn treaty, which his representa-
tive fiippantly called "only a scrap OF
paper"
It would seem as though conditions
were now sufficiently matured for
the allies to help the Austrians to sew
er their relations with the German
war party and join the German peace
