 All Must Co-operate

"The power against which we are arrayed has sought to impose it's will upon the world by force. To this end 1t has increased armament until it has changed the face of war. In the sense in which we have been wont to think of armies there are no armies in this struggle. There are entire na- tiOns armed. Thus, the men who re- main to till the soil and man the fac tories are no less a part of the army that is in France than the men beneath the battle flags. It must be so with us. It is not an army that we must shape and train for war; it is na- ton. To this end our people must draw close in one compact front against a common foe. But this cannot be if each man pursues a private purpose. All must pursue one purpose.
 "The nation needs all men, but it needs each man, not in the field that will most pleasure him, but in the en- deavor that will best serve the con- mon good.
 Tt is in no sense a conscription of the unwilling N is rather selection from nation which has volunteered in mass.
 "The day here named is the time upon which all shall present them selves for assignment to their tasks.
 ''It is essential that the day be ap- preached in thoughtful apprehension of it's significance and that we accord to it the honor and the meaning that it deserves Our industrial need pre- scribes that it be not made a techni- cal holiday, but the stern sacrifice that is before us urges that it be car ried in all our hearts as a great day of patriotic devotion and obligation when the duty shall lie upon every man, whether he is himself to he reg istered or not, to see to it that the name of every male person of the des- ignated ages is written on these lists of honor.

foodstufs by the average American family
amounts in the aggregate to an enormous
quantity.
TO overcome such waste, every household
should institute at once an intelligent account

expenditures may be ascertained. Then the
housewife should address herself to the task

Army Should Train in France

| HIS newspaper is not among those which
prefer their opinions on strictly military
subjects to the carefully considered and de
Hberately formed judgments of military eX-
perts. War is both science and an art and
it is not given to the layman or the amateur
to solve its deeper mysteries. Nevertheless
there may be facts connected with the con-
duct OF war which are obvious even to the
layman and in this category is the duty of
the United States, at the earliest practica bic
moment to send an army to France.
1t does not accord with the tradition nor
fiji the genius OF this people to permit other
peoples to fight its battles. and make no con
tribution of its own stawart manhood If
we are to live up to the noble principles our
leader has proclaimed, those principles must
have a baptism Of fire and Of blood The
urgent necessity of furnishing money food
and munitions should not, and must not blind
us TO the equally compelling obligation to
furnish men.
That is the fundamental OF every argument
on this subject but it has been buttressed In
the last Few days by an urgent appeal from
one of the great soldiers OF the age that we
do in this matter what our honor and our
duty require. 1t is true that Marshal Joffre's
plea is not stated in these bald terms Per-
maps he has not even asked, in SO many words
that All army be sent to France But he has
permitted it TO become known that this is
what France desires and, which is more to
the point, what France needs
Now, sending an army across the Atlantic
Ocean is not the same thing as sending around
the corner for half a pound OF tea There
are differences. No one who has made even
a casual investigation of the subject can fail
TO be impressed with the difficulties of trans
portation supply and communication which
such an undertaking involves.
But we can do it-not Tomorrow bu,
within the next two or three months-and
we should do it, Our brothers in arms call
TO us--for the inspiration of our presence no
less than for our active cooperation on the
held OF battle. They need u.s. The decisive
CONNECTS OF the war are being fought
For the sake OF our allies, for our own sake
and for the sake Of liberty and civilization.
we must play part in this greatest drama

1t seems equally clear that the best Mace
Tor an army 10 obtain the sort of training
necessary TO meet modern conditions of war
rare is in the territory where that warfare
Is belng conducted. Our regular army and
considerable elements of the National Guard
are as good soldiers now as they would he

They have passed and gone up tho
windy hill
And the room Is dim and still
And o'clock this afternoon
Drifts In tho pale white moon
Over the floor OF dust and stains
IL makes soft. pcarly lanes.
And sit In my chair and think, and
think
Watching the great room shrink
The ghostly desks are facing me-
Each one is facing me.
And I feel in the winter dusk the heart
or the old room touch my heart
Outside the pane. a tree sways black
Like a dwarf with heavy pack,
A pack of stars from the twilight hill.
And the room is very still
The day has cmptied my jeweled
pack.
1t must brim ere they come back.
Starry lads and girls who speak,
Dreaming. so near my cheek.

And fashion 1t bright for them;
Else how shall ! meet their morning

Their eyes that are young and wise.

When Policemen Nav Shoe,

A LMOST il seems that special Providence
"A watches over policemen and county Of
neers in this country. Every few days we
read where some officer Of the law has fired
at man because he refused the officers
command TO halt, and the public accepts either
the miss or the kill as a matter of course
AS matter of fact in about half the cases
the officer was entirely outside the law In
firing at all and if he killed the man he
shot at he was technically guilty of murder
An officer is justified in shooting when IL
is necessary in seif-defense. or when he is
aresting or attempting to arrest for felony
Generally speaking. these are the only cases
IN which a law officer may commit deadly
assault Yet they shoot merrily away and
trust TO that special Providence or TO their
nTn poor craftsmanship. and the public and
authorities permit the shooting to continue
