 "Without Merit"
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The claim that the selective draft law passed by congress May F violates the federal constitutional provisions pro hibiting slavery and involuntary serv- itude," advanced by Ferdinand Claudi- us, of Oakland, Cal. was characterized py the state supreme court today as utterly without merit"
 Claudius applied today for the sec ond time for writ of provision to prevent Mayor John L. Davies, of Oak land. from compelling him to register for the draft on June 5. He contended that the selective draft bill was in vio- lation of section l, article 13. of the constitution of the United States, and a section of the state constitution.
 A previous application for similar re lief was denied by the court without comment. Clsudius' counsel declared that he would take his application to the United States supreme court.

Remember Mother.

Do you write to mother as often as you should?
Do you write her regularly?
If you do not make the resolve today that you'll
start, and that from on matter where you may
be how busy you become you'll find time to send
your best friend CHEEKY message.
No need here to discuss the value and intensity of
your mothers love- No need to say that it surpasses
all else in this worldet it be enough for you to know
that your letters will make the worlds struggles bit
easier for her bear, that she'll find in them comfort
and joy she cannot find any other place.
When God gave mothers to the world He must have
foreseen that they would suffer beyond all human
understanding for the they bore into this world
But he also must have seen what recompense the
mothers would have in association with their children
and in knowing of their daily life after they had grown
up and left their homes to build homes of their own
Don't deny your mother the love she wants today
don't keep from her the only payment she have for
what she has done for you. Pay her now. Pay her
well, and pay her regularly Keep on and remember
that with all that you do you cannot make up the
sum of love she has expended for you.

THE NEW METHOD.
(By L. W. Bower. NJ. d.

Backache Of any kind is often
caused by kidney disorder, which
means that the kidneys are not
working properly. Poisonous matter
and uric acid accumulate within the
body in great abundance, overwork-
ing the sick kidneys; hence the con-
gestion of blood causes backache in
the same manner as a similar con-
gestion in the head causes headache.
You become nervous, despondent
sick, feverish, irritable. have spots
appearing before the eyes, bags un-
der the lids, and lack ambition TO do
things.
The latest and most effective means
OF overcoming this trouble, is TO eat
sparingly of meat, drink plenty OF
water between meals and take a
single An-u-ric tablet before each
meal for a while.

One Flag, One Service.

Complaint as to unit spirit among
members OF the National Guard and
the national army is seriouus enough
10 warrant attention here and there
from the military authorities The
regular army officers, anxious to pre-
serve their identity, sometimes cast
aspersions upon the National Guards
men, and there is a general tendency
In certain directions to pass them by
with a sneer
Many members have had tales
brought to their attention about this
They have invariably hastened to ad-
wise the men to go their way and
take what is coming to them. that
there is certain amount of this to
be expected. and that it cannot be
avoided in the hurry and hustle of
preparing big army for European
service.
Just how extensive 1t is, no repre-
sentative is prepared to say. The be-
lief of the members is that all traces
of service should be erased just at
this time. The men are standing for
a common cause, and when they get
into the trenches the National Guards
men and the regulars will be indis-
tinguishable, either as to officers or
men or conduct, or anything else.
They must all he Americans and the
class distinction must he obliterated.
Necessarily. discipline demands many
drastic things of the army men, but
in the army of democracy there is
certainly room for the frequent and
unmistakable display of democracy.

Young Americans. soldiers who fought
there. but who will stay after the war
is over to help in the work of recon-
struCtion.
This belief, heard frequently at the
Capitol, is based on the study made
by some OF the Americans identified
with thte allied armies before this
country the war. Scores Of young
men. cXpatriated TO fight with the
countries of their choosing on the side
OF the allies, admitted that il they
survived the war, they would con-
tinue their residence abroad, i'm order
to help in the vast work that must
then be undertaken.
This situation is expected TO make
it much easier for the United States
to improve its relations with the Old
World after the war is over. 1t will
help in the moral and commercial
relations between the nations over
there and this nation, and will be the
means of arriving at n better under
standing all around the world.
Moreover. IL will give encourage
ment to American firms which have
long sought European connections, but
which have been unable to keep men

onies will not only be large and inti-

locate. but they will be in a posi-
ton to help out the commercial re-
lations OF the United States vastly
more than under the pre-war condi-
tons

will make its imprint felt. The coun-
tries there will have to listen. be-

Garfield Ungloves His Hand.

The Fuel Administrator has met his first challenge

Happily DIR. Garfield has war muscle, and has
courage as we'll If strikes in the coal fields of Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio are to continue he has remedy at
hand. He can seize the coal mines, and operate them

the point is clear The Pomerene amendment to the
food law vests him with the right to operate the coal
mines whenever the interest of the nation demands it
That right must be exercised without daliance when
ever any interest capalistic otherwise, is audacous
enough to challenge it. And the Fuel Administrator
makes it plain that it will be exercised

Not Overly Hospitable.

Reference at a recent dinner party made to
the subject of hospitality, when an anecdote along
that line was related by Representative Edwin D.
Ricketts,, of Ohio.
Just before western train reached a certain small
town in Ohio afternoon some time ago. a nice look
ing young man with several grips, several and
several umbrellas, called to the conductor.

tion, will this ticket allow stop in the next

Liberty Bonds an Investment.

The appeal TO the people subscribe the liberty
loan bonds has laid entirely much upon pa
triotiSm and too little on sound business reasons
The ordinary citizen, with small savings make
better investment. Banks have been known to fail
corporations, whose stock is supposed to be gtedged
have suffered business depression real estate has de-
preciated owing change in the tide of the citys
life All forms of investing money have some element
of hazard
In liberty loan bonds there is absolutely no risk.
Each bond is the promise of the United States govern
ment, backed by the entire might and wealth of the
nation. This makes the bonds the safest investment
in the world
At one and the same time each American who buys
these bonds helps his country win this war for right
cause and places his money where it is safe and
will work for him.
Every anxious to save for the rainy
day, for inactive old age, should invest in liberty
loan bonds.
Every woman anxious to give the child of
the family education nest-egg years hence
should invest in liberty loan bonds.
Every man or woman desirous of making money
work should invest in liberty loan bonds

Armed Neutrality,

Some of the representatives. of Con-
grcss who started on the stump ac-
lively this week for the liberty loan
and the war lay down the PROPOSE
ton at the outset that If the armed
neutrality measure could have been
adopted by the dying Congress OF
March 4, this year, there would have
been no war with Germany.
That is a rather bold statement, but
numbers of the members contend that
IT is correct. They declare, with all
sincerity, that in their Judgment there
would have been no break with Ger
many had It been possible for the
American Congress to have acted the
part of virile American manhood
and passed this now-famed neutrality
resolution.
Certain 1t Is, according to the trend
of events, the resolution came at a
time when Germany was all ears TO
listen for sentiment from this cOun-
try. And certain it is. too, that when
the failure TO pass the resolution was
made known in Berlin there was re-
iOicinG, and probably If they had any
fat calves or anything else fat, eX-
cept fatheads. they offered up burnt
offerings to the god of war for this
effiminancy of America. Then It was
that the German rulers insisted one
to another that America was not for
war-that the war party in this cOun-
try was synonymous with the NUM-
tions money-makinS crowd. Then 1t
was that Der Herr Wilhelm decided
that America didn't want war, and
that all the indiEnitics heaped upon
us to that time could be doubled and
trebled, with no danger that Uncle
Sam would roll up his sleeves and re-
sent thte affronts.
What the outcome would have been,
however, is not so easy to saw. the
members admit. They say, however.
that the submarine Campa gn would
not have interfered seriously with the
transportation of food to England,
and that this country could have con-
tinucd to ship food and ammunition
to the allies. They believe that event
ually the allies would have struck
their stride and defeated Germany
without the help Of the United States.
The financial problem would have
been a grave one. of course, and. in
fact. a whole lot of doubtful factors
enter into the problem when one
starts to analyze it. 1t will never be
known, of course, just what would
have happened. but n number of the
members on the Hill will always he
lileve that the actual break would
have been avoided. and eventually
Germany would have succumhed to
the allies, If, through some such de-
vice as armed neutrality, we could
have escaped war.

Germany Begins to Crack.

War-wearineSs, hunger, emulation of Russian revo-
utionaries-all these things are perhaps involved in
the first big crack in the German military and naval
machine
1t is intensely interesting news. 1t shows the iron
discipline is breaking down. 1t shows men are begin
ming to dare to rebel. And, sngularly enough this
first outbreak occurred among those who have
dured the of trench fighting but among sailors
idle at Wilhelmshaven
The mutinous conditions apparent on at least four
big German batteshps must exist even if in milder
luton.
The fact that while savage reprsals were ordered
by the Kaiser the chancellor did not dare obey his
royal master, testfes to the dangerous mood of the
men, and perhaps of the nation.
Probably the main cause of the revolt was the SUBJ
marine warfare Not that the Prussians were shocked
by its inhumanty, but they rebelled against the in
creased danger to themselves. In the early U-boat
days it was not hard to get volunteer crews The
higher rates Of pay and the prospect of prize awards
and honors and decorations were alluring
But by and by something happened which made the
German sailor do some serious thinking The num-
Der of submarines which did not return to port and
whose fate remained unknown began to increase And
since American destroyers have been on the lob this
number has been mounting rapidly.
The German sailor, therefore has lost his stomach
for the job. He may be willing enough to fight in a
big battle where he has about even chances with the
enemy, but he is not keen for this thing of being

drowned like rat in tub. 1t all came to head in
the recent mutnies.
The satisfactory point to the allies is that such news
cannot be suppressed by the authorities By now every
German sailor knows what has happened. He knows
some of his comrades shot, and others sentenced
to long terms in prison.
This kind of thing does not improve morale. 1t
hurts it. 1t does suppress feelings of revolt It
spreads dissatisfaction. German warship commanders
are in a comfortable position. There will al
ways be in the back of their minds the lurking fear
that in pinch the crews may suddenly go back on
them.

Back home afar from all the roar and rush
OF city life the spreading chestnut trees
Make grateful shadows, and a gentle hush
Broods all there is the hum of bees
The signing of the leaves in summers breeze
As white clouds sweep across the sky's blue dome,
And all is peace and calm and drowsy ease
Back home
Back home the kindly village folk of old
Unhurred live their lives in calm content
Theirs is no fight for glory Tor gold:
A little earned, little wisely spent
Suffces for their needs, close to the fold
OF home they stay, nor ever wish to roam
Life is simple story gently told ''.-.''..
Back home
Back home all the dear old childhood things
The swimming hole where once used to play
The village green, round which remembrance cings
The country store which scarce has changed TODAY
The thought of these is like fragrant breath
From old-time gardens in the quiet gloam:
Go back? Not me! For I'd be bored to death
