NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK.

The army is 10000 men short; it fails
Of war strength by almost three times the
force we have been able to send to the war.
in the September draft, a new army will
be created, but that will not help the pres

to smash the German resistance before the
submarines are able to cripple our often

Presidential proclamations are not lightly
made and the fact that President Wilson
issues a proclamation designating the
period, beginning today and ending June
80, as national recruiting week, sufficiently
proves the seriousness of the situation
1t is a message that is directed to each
of us Observation-Disclosures of us who can not
Join must see to it that those who are eligi-
bic will undertake their duty. There should

Red Cross. Have YOU volunteered If r..
why not: is the question every likely
young man should be asked by everybody.
Every household, every neiehborliood,
every district. every city, should be j,ar2us

Munitions manufacturers are trying to
evade their profits tax, say internal revenue
agents.
Of course they are! That is the way Of
prohteers the world over; the government,
to protect itself and the people from loss
and robbery, has a task almost or greater
in its Way,as the war prOblcLa itself.
And the government is On the job, These
particular proiteers made only partial re
turns of their profits, expecting that they
would be checked so isurcly that the
fraud would not be detected or could not
be proven; but Commissioner Osborne set
a force Of field inspectors to work immedi-
ate}y, and they have saved the country ten
million dollars
Dcnman, too, has saved the government
millions in invoking the prohtoc's law to
hammer the price OF steel plates for the
emergency fleet from SOC to $50 ton. 1t
appears that cost of production is about
SIS, but the steel plants have been selling
to private buyers all the could turn out
for $95 to $125. The commercial demand
will cease. however. with the government S
rcQuisitioning ship building and -hpyard
facilities. Manufacturers have, of course.
raised a dismal shout, and the $50 price
is only tentative. But it will not be raised
to the former figure, if at all; the govern
ment may, indeed, chop the price still fur
Their or commander the plants.
In New York, Commissioner Harti9an
has recently reported that all storage plants
are over crowded with food stuffs. There
is, of course, plenty of food in the entire
country-and still the price rises at famine
rate. For alas, there is no regulation OF
food. Congress, Stacker congress, is the
only comfort the prohteers now get.
