CONSUMPTION Must Come
(From the New York Tribune.)

The vital thing in the army bill
which Secretary Baker has submitted
to Congress is its rejection of the vol

service must be resorted to If we are
to have a representative, efficient,
democratic army Every pacifist,
every Stacker. every enemy of mill
tary preparedness knows this. For
that reason all the elements in Con
gress and out OF Il which want to re-
tard military development and thereby
keep our participation in the wNr

a drive against CONSUMPTION. They
want to retain the volunteer system
which has broken down every time

strength; Second: To raise a Home
Guard to take the place of Company
G when called away from Dover;
Third: To aid in taking a census OF
men of military age and resources Of
Dover and vicinity; and Fourth: To
aid in production of food for the ma
ton in this time of need
All men and women of Dover and
vicinity are invited to join this asso-
citation and aid in its work. Most OF
us cannot serve the country in the
Army or the Navy but all can serve
in some capacity. The country is fac
ing days of trial and danger and every
patriotic citizen should be ready to
sacrifice time, money and personal in
diligence and comfort if need be. No
one can forecast what sacrifices we
shall all be called on to make, but the
best way to save suffering and depri-

countrymen is to begin now to help
