The war department has planned
that each local board shall assemble
practically one-third of its quota by
September l. The local board is to
have complete control of these men
until they reach the training camps
when they will pass formally to the
supervision of government officers.
Local boards will name one of the
men as manager for the trip to camp
and another to assist him. The local
boards are to see that the men are
cared for properly until they reach
camp. The government will reim-
burse for all such expenses incurred

A GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY.

No weightier responsibility has
been placed upon any portion of the
population in this war than that
which rests now upon the local selec-
ton boards in connection with the
operation of the selective service
act. 1t is easier, usually, TO face
danger oneself than to designate the
hazard to others, and those who de-
eide which men are to go and which
are to stay must be sobered by The
seriousness of their position.
The Government has endeavored to
simplify their work by stating the
general policies which are to obtain.
The rights of individuals, under the
draft law, are completely subordinat-
ed to the interests of the nation.
None OF the regulations were franz
cd to advance the interest of any
lass of drafted men, but wholly to
insure the country the service of its
ablest men.

HOW AMERICANS IN FRANCE

diers was telling of the Americans
advance during recent battle on the
Canadian front.

o'clock" said Burr. at VAS beau

our shells tearing up Fritzie's barb
ed wire.

"It's funny-the things fellow

picked up a little fox-terrier dog.
He appeared from somewhere and
adopted my heels as a good pair to
follow. He frisked and barked and
leaped around me as If he had found
an old friend. He seemed to know
just when to drop into shell holes.
When we reached our objective and
captured the remaining Germans, the
dog was still there, shifting around
the dug outs, exploring shell-holes
and running up and down the old
trench. A dog as lucky as that one
is worth keeping; he is our company
mascot now.

Most of the Fritzies hate to be cap

lows grab everything they can move
as souvenirs. They bring back junk
of all kinds-helmets, German coins

Americans are fighting for souvenirs

BOCHE REPAYING
FRENCH KINDNESS

PARIS, July 2.-(By Mail }
French kindness to a German pris-
oner At years ago is bearing fruit
today.
Early in the war of 1870 French
troops took young German officer
prisoner and put him in prison
camp for the duration of the war.
During the long weary months of
waiting for peace the officer and his
companions were given every latitude
of privilege that a war prisoner
could ask.
Today Marcel Richard, a young
French officer and his compatriots in
the German prison camps at Meis-
ter are reaping the benefit. The
German officer prisoner of 1870, now
too old for active service, is COM
mandant of the prison camp. Young
Richard has written home to his
folks in Paris for his tennis flannels
and shoes, telling them he is able
to enjoy this recreation.
The commandant is not only al
lowing his charges every possible
freedom but has purchased the ten
mist outfit, net racquets, balls, etc,
from his own pocket.

Don't Shackle Publishers.

In summing up the reasons why
newspapers should not be taxed on
their advertising the Publishers Asso-
citation Of New York newspapers gives
seven distinct arguments, showing
why newspapers should be immune
from this new form Of taxation.
The arguments made by the pub
lishers are:
l. The great increase in the cost Of
all materials which enter into the
manufacture Of newspapers has ser
iously affected the newspaper industry.
2. A tax on gross income from ad-
vertising would be'more than a dou-
BILE tax, because newspapers at pres
ent pay 1 per cent on their corpora
ton income.
3. In time of crisis, advertising. the
strongest promotive force in business,
should not be crippled
4. By giving generous space and pub
licity to plans for financing the war
and raising a great army. newspapers
are supporting the government at
great sacrifice to themselves.
B. The newspaper press is one OF the
most important and powerful weapons
Of the government in the present war
and its strength should not. be reduc-
ed. or its influence weakened, by op-
pressive taxes.
8. Instead of being penalized the CO.
operation of newspapers should be
sought by the government, which
should make the utmost possible use
Of newspaper publicity.
7. Newspaper publishers will carry
their full share of the financial bur-
dens Of the war. but they protest
against discriminating and confisca-
tory taxation.
: There are numerous other arguments
that could be advanced along the same
lines, for no industry has been so
oorely affected by the war, as have
newspapers and magazines.
