Men Are Needed for the Army.

Our country is in war, the greatest in which
it has ever engaged, Soldiers are needed as well
as money, II we are to win. We have been in this
war for nearly two months now and the enlist
ment record for the army is running from 500
to 1000 day, or just about one-tenth Of what
really is needed. Instead of millions of freemen
springing to arms, only few hundreds have an
swered the call.
Liberty bonds will be oversubscribed; the Red
Cross and other war charities will be literally
supported; but what about the soldiers? The
regular army and the National Guard yet need
hundreds Of thousands OF men to fill their quota
will they get them?
Registration for the selectve draft does not
answer the call. These men are wanted for the
service at once to fill the ranks of the army that
is to go to France without delay.
Will the call for soldiers go unheeded?

Effect Of the Negro Exodus.

One of the possible effects Of the exodus of
the negroes from the south is forecasted in the
establishment at Des Mones Of training camp
for negro officers to be assigned to regiments in
the new army. Within the year the migration of
the negro from the south, begun in the winter
Of 1915, has reached proportions that are disturb
ing the southern planters and mill owners, who
see their help leaving More than 100000 negroes
have moved across the Mason and Dixon line
within year. These are described by investga-
tors as being not the riff-raf of the race, but
made up Of the more substantial, the industrious
and thrifty, who are seriously seeking to better
tlicir conditions of life.
Three dominant reasons are assigned as Under
lying and anin,atng the migtation-low wages.

whether these are to be generally remedied by
the change OF residence is not to be answered off,

such as suggest that the negro worker is espe-
cially welcome there, but this is hardly typical
Of the north; much less so in fact, than the burn
ing Of negro at the stake is typical of southern
methods. Environment will have determining
influence in the end. II the southern negro can
adjust his life to the ways OF the north he will find
much to compensate him for all he has to give up,
although il is mistake to say he would not be
better off in Dixieiand il his legal and personal
rights were more secure.
AT any rate, the southerners are seriously con-
sidering how to make the negro's lot acceptable,
so that he will remain where his labor is needed
That the American negro is doing some Of his
own thinking these days is quite apparent, and
it is equally probable that the solution when
found will be at least partly his own work

A gathering OF socialists at New York, which
included in its. numbers those refused passports
to attend the Stockholm convocaton, has just
voiced demand that the United States and its
allies specifically state the lowest terms on which
peace will be accepted Similar demands are made
by the German socialists, who have promoted the
Stockholm plan, and from that section Of the
Russian body that Is in favor Of separate peace?
Thus the movement, apparently socialistic in its
origin, seems to fit in with the ro-German propa-
ganda
Our terms Of peace were plainly stated in our
reasons for entering the war and have been re-
terated daily ever since. We have no desire
for conquest and want only to make the world
safe for democracy" in order that the right Of
scf-government may not be denied anywhere.
This can be done only by calling halt on mill
tarism and Americans are in the war solely for
that purpose This is we'll understood by the
outside world and demands from any source that
our government state its terms" more definitely
or clearly than 1t has dscredts the intelligence Of
those who make it.
Solicitude by socialists in America for an ex-
act and specific bargain at this time is not helpful
to their own cause nor to the cause Of humanity.
vt will pay some OF them to listen to Kerensky
for moment, long enough to find out what the
real socialists of Russia hope to accomplish. The
present movement, stated in terms Of the New
York conference, is calculated most to encourage
the cause Of the Prussan military autocracy. from
whom the followers Of Marx have nothing to
look for, rather than the cause of democracy,
which is and must be their hope.

read: Don't let the weeds get the

/ fear that 1t will be impossible to
obey your timely admonition, for some
of the lots selected for cultivation are
better adapted for the manufacture of
brick, tiles and crockery than for til
lage, Notwithstanding that numerous
fertile lots remain uncultivated in the
city. / agree with Charles Wooster
and other practical farmers that
many officials selected for the con-
servation Of food are economic mis-
fits. However, / would suggest that
some of the manure dumped by the
stock yards company within the city
limits might be applied to the clay
