Congress last month was insisting
upon drastic reform of the War
Department, and the bringing of all
purchases of industrial supplies un-
der one head who should not be con-
trolled by the Secretary OF War. but
account directly to the President.
There has also been a great demand
for War Cabinet.
The excellent men who are at tho
head of the executive departments
have their hands already full. Some
of them are personally suited for the
direction of America at war; several
of them certainly are not.
The President should probably
have the helpof a group who have
no duties but the conduct of the
war. Yet these questions OF organ
lZation are not easy to settle.--The

DIRECTING THE
WAR AFFAIRS

Americans in general do not know
how many men we have sent to
France; impressions and opinions
differ widely. The estimates given
privately last month by number OF
intelligent men in Washington (not
the highest officials) varied from
100 to 800 per cent. We venture to
assert that 1t is accurately known
in Germany how many men we have
sent to France and what they are
doing there. The facts are also we'll
known In England and France.
American citizens have not sought
to pry into necessary military sec
rets. Perhaps. however. 1t would

The most blessed of human endeavors
Is service-the service that educates
and builds and makes this old world a
better and happier place in which to
live and work. Service Is the spirit of
the hour. 1t blesses him that gives and
him that gets; 1t Is the brotherhood of
man In business; 1t Is the helping hand
extended unselfishly; 1t Is bread cast
upon the waters; 1t is way Of help
ing ourselves by helping each other.
The best TINT can be said Of any man
Is this: 'He served others that they
might better serve themselves."-Bar

"THE TINE IS CRITICAL"

This is not the time to let up on
buying Liberty bonds. Until the close
of the campaign for the fourth Lib
erty loan there should be such an out
pouring of the wealth of the people
of this country as the world never
saw before in a like period. Over
subscription of the six billion dollar
Liberty loan is declared by the Pres
ident to be a matter of world i'm
portance at this critical time. The
statement Of President Wilson, issued
Thursday night, follows:
"'Recent events have enhanced. not
lessened, the Importance of this loan
and hope that my fellow-countrymen
will let me say this to them very
frankly. The best thing that could
happen would be that the loan should
not only be subscribed, but very great
ly oversubscribed. We are in the
midst of the greatest exercise of the
power of this country that has ever
been witnessed or forecast, and a sin
gle day of relaxation in that effort
would be of tragical damage alike to
ourselves and to the rest of the world
Nothing has happened which makes it
safe or possible to do anything but
push our effort to the utmost. The
time is critical and the response must
be complete"

ence that has characterized the attl-
tude of so many people toward the
fourth Liberty loan so far, they would
not be winning such glorious victo-
ries?
Honestly. if you are not helping. to
support our fighting forces by buying
all the Liberty bonds and War Savings
stamps you can, isn't it time you came
to yourself? Can any citizen be sat
isfied to fill himself with the husks
which the swine do eat?
Can the people fail to put the SOL
diers' spirit" into the loan?
Wake up, ye who have failed to
hear your country's call, before it
is too late and the days draw nigh
when you will say that it were better
for you had you been drowned in the
midst of the sea, or hanged by the
neck till dead, rather than to fall upon
the evil days when the returned sol
diers ask. what you did to furnish
them with shot and shell and food and
to save the lives of their fallen COM
rades, when they were fighting for
you, and the record shows that you
hugged your dollars close and refused
to lend them to Uncle Sam at fair
rate of interest to save the lives Of
fighting men.
