THE EXEMPTION CLASS.

Recently. we heard a petty federal
official grooming over the large num-
Der of young men who are claiming
exemption from war service. He was
fearful lest an exemption class be
established and seemed to be entirely
ignorant of the fact that such a class
has already been established.
The exemption class is composed of
office holders who neither have to
fight nor pay. The drafted man may
have to both fight and pay, but your
Office holder goes scot free, and it is
mighty difficult to see any degree of
justice in it.
Under the CONSUMPTION act the ex-
empt are: Officers of the United
States and of the several states, ter
ritOries and District of Columbia.
This, of course, includes any person
holding a legislative. executive or Judi
cial Office created by the constitution
or laws of the United States or any
OF the states or territories; county
and municipal officers and whose Of
flee may not be filled by appointment
for an uneXpired term; custom house
clerks, if necessary to effective oper-
alton or administration of custom
house," persons employed by United
States in transmission of mails, if
they are necessary to effective and
adequate transmission of mails and
cannot be replaced by another person
without substantial material loss of
efficiency artificers and workmen
employed in the armories, arsenals
and navy yards
The reader will observe that the
exemption class starts out with quite
an army exempt from defending the
government through drawing pay from
the government. And their pay is
exempt from taxation in aid of the
governments war, the income tax law
declaring exemption on the compensa
ton of the president, United States

the prevailing sentiment.

WIN NOW, OR FIGHT AGAIN..

inst a few words to the parent" OF
the bows in the service or who may
20 in, to those boys themselves anu
to the regular chronic paciflsts.
Suppose that, today, the allied ma
tions were foolish enough to sign
peace treaty with those treaty-hreak'
ers, the German autocrats. Would
any Of the allied nations dare to dis
arm? No, not even if it were stlpu-
lated that Germany should disarm.
None of the nations would dare to
disarm until Germany had actually
disarmed, for there is no faith in Ger
many in the heart of any man OF the
millions now in the ranks of the allies.
Certainly Americans can have no such
faith, after the manner in which the
German autocrats have outraged, de-
ceived, betrayed and played upon this
nation.
1t is war to finish, or another war.
German autOcracy is malignant
cancer in the body Of civilization. 1t
is not to be treated with pOultices, but
with the lance Peace is not possible.
1t is not desirable save through the
permanent removal of the dreadful
malady. The young men in the serv-
ice today must strike hard, persistent
ly and successfully or their children
will have to do the bloody work over
again.

CERM ANY CHEATED.

The violence and malignity OF the
"peace" campaign launched in con-
gress and out, when America was on
the brink of the War-and the ire
mendOls outlay Of money which &C
companied it-are now clearly under
stood.
Americas entrance into the war
cheated Germany of victory. Amer
lea entered just in time, but not a
minute too soon, to save the world
from Prussian mastery.
Germany counted on certain victory
by June l.. The cars corrupt gang
was to sign separate peace and re-
lease all her eastern armies. Although
the Russian revolution blocked this,
the helplessness of the Russian giant
in the midst of the revolution was
almost as good.
france was on the ragged edge.
The failure of the Champagne often
siye when her last reserves had been
hurled into that disastrous assault had
brought on wave OF despair among
the war-weary people.
Her LaFollettes and Bill Stones
were beginning to whisper, Save
what's left" Paid German paci1iSls
and agitatOrs 3Warmei into Paris flom
Switzerland and bribe money rolled in
from Swiss banks.
1t was a black time. 1t was this
news that Marshal Jotfre brought to
Washington, and everything he said
was confirmed by the FIRST American
military commission to France which
returned shortly afterward France
was like burned out torch. Germany
knew it. They knew it in Russia.
No wonder Germanys pacifists, her
paid traitors and degenerate dupes in
America bent all their energies to halt
the war, to defeat the draft, to keep
Pershing at home.
But Pershing crossed, and the boys
in olive drab followed him. They are
going over ow-thousands per month,
and the thin green line will stretch out
until the crack of the kaiser's doom.
The pacitists and politicians trying
to undermine the resolution Of the
American people will only supply com
pany for Benedict Arnold and Aaron
Burr in the American hall of infamy.
The school children of generations
to come may remember themas trail
tors are remembered.
Few of them will attain even that
eminence, but will pass into oblivion
with the copperheads who betrayed
Lincoln-too feeble and futile even to
make treason memorable.
