In circles whore it is frequently nee
essary to obtain the same, it has gen
orally been regarded as "a most easy
process to secure afIidavits at almost
any time and for almost any purpose.
For this very reason, there are peo-
pie who may regard as somewhat of IA
joke the requirement that a young
man claiming exemption from the
draft because of dependents must pre-
sent three alIidavits, but not so!
A single misrepresentation on any
one of the three afIidavits subjects
the signer thereof to possible impris-
onment for his or her act. Searching
inquiry into these allidavits will be
made by the county exemption board

reveal in their true light all false
statements.
1t becomes, therefore, a helnous Of
Tense to sign such an affidavit with
out careful consideration of all that is
contained in it, A hasty act may lead
to bitter results.
The government is not to be trincd
with in this most serious business
Neither is any evasion to be counten-
anced. All cases of exemption will
be determined only when it is soidly
established that the clamer really
should be absolycd from military ser.
vice, for one reason or another.
1t will be IA good lead for everybody
to follow to steer clear Of signing any
exemption allidayits unless the case is
one about which you have a thorough
knowledge. Imprisonment is too ser
ious Il thing.

THE FOOD BILL,

Three Important and conflicting
measures face the house and senate
ronlcrces ON the food bill, Washing
ton dispatches reporting that an agree
nlcnt is probable today and n report
of the same may be expected by Mon
day
Tho pith of contention ccntcrs
around the scnato's insistcnce for n
board of food administration and the
house for single administrator as
the case is at present The house
stands by the administration in this
instance
Again, the senate and the president
are one in agreeing that only distilled
liquors should be done away with dur
ing the course of the war The house
has endorsed an arid nation.
Lastly and very ropugnant to the
expressed wishes of President vii
son, tho senate insists ON a committee
to investigate the conduct of the war
II is imperative that no more time
bc lost on the food bill, aa the war tax
bill demands instant consideration
The need for an early reconcilmg OF
differences, joint report and recon-
mendations is felt moro kocnly each
day.
just how the confcrecs will finally
smooth out their yarianccs and what
compromise they will agree upon will
be extremely interesting to watch, 1t
is fairly safe prediction, however,
that the administration wishes will
be carried cut.

TERROR A FAILURE

TO strike terror into the souls of its
adversaries has been an ayowed part
of Germany's war tactics, but her eff
forts in the direction of the United
States have proved abortive.
Deep-laid plans to torpedo trans
ports containing the Pershing cXpedi-
tionary force were thwarted through
the watChfulness of American naval
gunmen and the Tirpitz group was
forced to learn, in glum dismay, that
American fighting men had actually
landed on continental soil without a
single untoward incident.
More recently, dispatches from the
American training camp in France in
dicate that Tetuonic airmen are con
stantly endeavoring to locate this par.
ticular camp for the purpose of bomb
ing it. Their attempts here have met
with like failure, French pilots care
fully beating off the invaders who
were unable even to rcconnoiter.
If future German land operations
prove as dismal a failure as her water
and air campaign TO terrorize the
American people has thus far, there
can be little question about the dura-
tion of the war.

DRAFT ALIENS

with all the allies OF the United
States, save Russia, asscntug to the
proposal Of this country to draft
aliens, with the exception of enemy
subjects and neutrals, congress should
forthwith and speedily write such Il
section into the draft law.
While not subjects Of the United
states, these aliens enjoy great
many privileges and immuuitics this
country affords and should, accord.
ngly, be called upon to mako some
recomponsc for their privilege OF
dwelling in this free country.
Again, their cause Is that of the
United States Their own kin abroad
are lighting the central powers 1t is
as much to their interest to see Ger
many and her allies conquered as it is
TO that of the United States.
Finally many cities, right here in
Ohio, are going to furnish moro than
their quotas for the draft army, IL
aliens arc exempt from tho draft.
Quotas were assigned on the basis Of
registration In Mansfield, for in
stance, whore the quota Is about $50,
the exemption board expects to call up
1000 young men before that number
Is obtained, chiefly because of alien
rcgistrants,
Drafted aliens should be given just
as fair n hearing as drafted Americans
There should be no distinction made
at all But they should be called and
congress will act fairly to pass the
necessary legislation.
