THE CALL TO THE COLORS.

All registrants under the SelectiVe Draft Law have now been classified under five groups. These groups rep resent various degrees of liability 10 service. Under them men may De exempted once and for all, or they may be held in abeyance until the government sees fit to issue the call for their services. Also, men who are not fitted for active military service may be pressed into service with the army behind the army,-that is. the men who attend to the wants of those on the firing line. In few days each and every man who registered on June of this year will be ordered to fill out questionnaire. Depend ing how he answers the questions there, under oath, he will be either sent with the fighting forces of Uncle Sam or allowed. to do service such as that of clerkship: or he will be per- rnitted to remain at home with the women folk. In this way 1t is figured that four out of every five men who registered will be called to the colors in one way or another.

They are getting along as we'll as can be expected. They have put in an added claim, a sort of eleventh hour attraction, and say they are forced to pay an additional freight tax of three per cent which is in the form of war measure. What if they have ? Are they the only ones who must pay some sort of tribute to the govern ment? Are they the only ones who must pay war taxes? Rest assured. they have no monopoly on this. Every Tom, Dick and Harry. and Molly, Kate and Jane are paying war taxes and paying them willingly, This Is the first time we have heard anyone brag about paying such taxes. That Is privilege,-the paying of war taxes. No patriot would get on the house-top and shout merely because he is doing his duty by helping the government finance the war. Ye gods, the coal dealers are up against 1t when they have to resort to such tactics as these.
 It is not the intention of this news paper to cruelty the coal dealers. We admit they have troubles enough of their own, and the main one is as we have pointed out. They arc forced to let the public in on their business. That is, they cannot we'll cover. up' because of the govern ment's action in setting prices for coal at the mines, and making known to all people the freight rates. With a pencil and pad the average man can sit down and figure out approx imately what the coal dealers are doing Under the old order, of course, all these things were secret. The ex- pose has called for artists. There must be real amoufage. And that's what we are getting in the cries for camouf1age. But it will not work this time.

THE STUFF IS HERE.

From Copenhagen comes the des- patch which tells that Captain Baron von Richthofen, Germany's leading aviator, expresses himself as uncon- cerned over the reported prepara- tions to place 10000 American avi- ators on the western front. He be- lieves 1t will be impossible to get together that many trained pilots. as the training Is long and costly and involves heavy casualty. The new corners, he says, will, particularly at first, ''be unable to judge the mii- tary conditions, and at least twenty five per cent of the machines will be disabled during the long transport"
 These latter figures arsSin all prob ability true, so far as predictions go. The newcomers may be unable to properly judge military conditions. and, undoubtedly. a large number of them will be killed in preparing for aerial flight Also large number of machines may be wrecked, or made useless on CAlc way ONOA IUc e Ao no doubt that the United States is preparing to take a large and active part in the air fighting which is to come. There will be built in this country within the next twelve months ar sooner, something like a5,ooo aitplanes. There will es be trained the same number. of avtators.
 Germany is hustling along in vain attempt to gain supremacy in the air. The military experts have about agreed that the war will be won in the air. England, by the establish ment of an Air Ministry, shows that she too. realizes the import of build ing un a great aerial feet. Italy with her great aviator Caproni, has al- ready done much in this direction. The Lafayette escadrille in France has given an account of itself So, the German Captain Baron's statements to the contrary notwithstanding. it is about to come---a grand finale in the form of a wonderful aerial fleet which may solve the problem of getting rid of the Hapsburgs and the Hohenzol- ferns. We have the goods.

 An exchange poet says:
 Tn summer. when I have to mow The lawn, I'd rather shovel snow, But in the gray and gloomy fall do not care for snow at all,
 And when the winter blizzards blow I'd rather mow than shovel snow;
 Yet when the spring is here again The thought of moving gives mo pain. From all of which you may opine The fault, if fault 1t be, is mine
 But, reader dear, upon my word, That thought is perfectly absurd. The explanations simple, quite:
 The seasons never come just right"
 That's it. It's the seasons. Or the wee ther. Or the water tastes f1shy. Or there was no salt in the oatmeal Or the foot ripped on a sheet when getting out of bed. Or the furnace fire went out. Or the check didn't come. Or the dress didn't fit. Or the dyspepsia revived. Or the cat wasn't let out. Or the roof leaked. Or the chimney smoked. Or the boss came in. Or the cook left. Or the humps arrived. Or the other fellow had her out. Or she was a little mift about something. And so on. The list of things which man makes responsible for his own cussedness would be appalling if it wasn't so funny.
