The War Department has just
announced that conscientious OBJ
jectors who decline to perform even
the duties of the military oreaniza-
tion which are classed as noncom-
batants, shall be segregated at Fort
Leavenworth. There they are to be
examined by a board of officers,
and if they are found to be really
sincere in their attitude they will be
furloughed from the army for agri-
cultural work. They will be bound
by oath to work on farms at
private's pay, plus subsistence.
They will not be discharged from
the army. and any violation of their
compact will be punished.

Failures In Wartime

In current discussion of the effect
of war upon business it is often
assumed that, while war industries
will be stimulating by the war, there
will be corresponding depression
in other lines which will result in
business disaster for certain classes
of business men. The advocates of
business as usual have urged their
views because they feared that war
saving by the many would mean
war ruin for the merchants.
If that is the tendency, its effects
are strangely under cover, for the
figures show that the general bust
ness of the country is still prosper
Gus after IS months of war, and
more prosperous now than a year
or two 6go. In fact, there were
more than 40 per cent fewer busi,
ness failures last month than there
were in May. 1916, while the liabil-
tiles of bankrupt concerns in May
were less than in any May in the
last 10 years.
Figures covering the whole of the
war period reveal nothing abnormal.
Business has not been as usual,
but it has been good, or better.

Sound Reasoning

When an American citizen. in.
stead of spending $100 for some
thing he wants, denies himself and
lends the money to the government
he performs q double service.
First he furnished our government
with $100 the drain on our goods
and services: that is, material and
labor To make the articles or
article he would have bought, or 10
manufacture others to take their
place in the market would require
materials and labor. In addition,
to get the article to him labor and
freight space would be required
By doing without the article he has
left a certain amount material to be
US ed for war purposes, certain
mount of labor to be used in the
same way, aud he has also relieved
to a certain extent the transporta-
ton facilities of the country.
This may not be much in an in
divldual case, but when hundreds
of thousands and millions of Ameri,
ca ms pursue this course it means
millions and millions of dollars
loaned to the government, tremen-
d Gus quantities of material left for
u ses of the nation in this war, mil
lion of hours of labor free to do wal
work and vast amount Of freight
space free for national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to make
they are small and trivial compared
to the sacrifices that our soldiers
and sailors make daily while they
offer constantly their lives for their
country-the greatest sacrifice OF
all.
However, one does not have to
wait to sacrifice 500 to aid oul
gov ernment; one may begin with {
twenty-five cent Thrift Stamp anc

government. 1t is to inculcate ir
the American people a great spirit
Of saving that War Savings Societie;

Don't GrumbIe.

Don't grumble secretly to yourself
or to others about the many cam
paigns. End them by helping to
end the war. The War Savings
ampaien is for the purpose of end
ing the war victoriously at the
earliest possible moment.
Unless the men and women of
this country respond to the de-
maDds of war cheerfully, generous
ly and proudly-in a whole-souled
manner-the demands will increse
and the war will be prolonged.
Do your part June 28th.
There is not enough labor and
not enough material in this country
to supply the normal peace demands
lso the war requirements of the
nation. One of the two demands
m ust be reduced Either we must
dispense with needless purchases or
the soldiers and sailors must be de-
prived of necessary equipment.
Which shall it be?
You are not asked to give up
anything. You are simply asked to
POSTPONE the purchase of need
less luxuries- goods and services
not necessary for your health and
fficieucy And you are asked in
stead to lend the money to the
United States so that the Govern
ment can purchase the goods and
services which you temporarily
give up, and use them in prosecut-
ing the war. On January ], 1923
the Government will return the
N oney to you with interest at the
rate of four per cent, compounded
q uarterly If necessary. you can
get the money any time before
maturity.
The War Savings movement is SC
important as a war measure and SC
splendid an opportunity for profta,
BILE investment that the people OF
Missouri need only understand it to
re spond to it. We believe that they
will respond to it in the same pa
tr lotto spirit which has prompted
our fighting men. We believe thai
fir ON now until June 28th, the men
and women of this State will unite
wi tn those of other States in hurl
ing Americas reply to the German
menace-by pledging freely and
co nscientiously to save for Victory

America Will Never Yield.

Another sprinetime has come and
gone in our north temperate zone.
and the world. war enters period
of summer fighting that will soon
have brought us to the beginning
of the wars fifth year Ii is the
general opinion that the military
situation is near its critical climax
Events have so shaped themselves
that both sides see a possibility of
terminating the conflict through
victory upon the West Front. The
Germans have been doing every
thing 10 their power to strengthen
their forces for further attacks up
on the Allied line in France. Their
aim is to break through the Channel
ports, and to shatter the British
front, while rolling back the French
armies and occupying France Out
of victories thus gained they hope
to evolve an early peace. They are
stalking all their fortunes on this
summers offensive. They have in
mind a league of nations, with a re-
united and harmonious Europe un-
der Germany's leadership and under
her fully acknowledged domination.
Even if Germany should conquer
such peace in Europe (Which we
deem impossible) the United States
would not admit defeat This coun-
try would be able to defend itself
against Germany, no matter to
what extent the Teutonic empire
might become agerandized.
Furthermore assuming a reas-
enable degree of preparation for
Self-defense in South Anerica-the
United States with Canada's part
nership could protect the entire
Western Hemisphere from any form
of German aggression. All COM
Oetent StrategistS understand that
10 aiding the European Allies on a
large scale to meet Germany in
Europe, we are undertaking what in
every aspect is a much more diff
cult task than would be ours if we
were fighting Germany unaided and
alone. The European war has as
sumed form that is relatively ad-
vantageous for Germany, and that
puts us at the disadvantage of i'm
mense distances 1t is because they
understand this in France, and be-
cause all the more thoughtful and
candid minds of Great Britain also
understand it, that they appreciate
so deeply the willingness of the
American people not merely to
carry Oh war against Germany
by reason of our own grievances,
but to aid them in the particular
aspects of the war that circum-
stances have now rendered most
exigent. The action we have taken
makes the league of nations pres
ent reality rather than a future as
piration. We have espoused great
cause. and we are not carrying on
the war for our own national
needs

The Western Front.


much official information as to
American participation III the war
We know that the rate of sending
men has been greatly QuiCkened,
and that half million Americans,
by no meaDs all of them lighting
troops, have reached France. We
are told this number will be in
creased TO million by the end OF
the year, which is possible We
hear rumors that it will reach
100000 by spring, which is un
likely.
1t is also true that our Allies have
suddenly walked up to the fact that
their chief necessity is manpOwer
and that tardily they have called
upon us to furnish the numbers.
We have responded without hesita-
ton and in manner which will
never be forgotten by any of our
Allies. There has never been any
thing more splendidly unselfish
thar American policy in this great
crisis. We have turned our soldiers
over to our Allies to be commanded
by their officers and brigaded with
their regiments. We have drOppeu
all else to give our hard.preSsed
comrades that which they have
asked for. as we strOve to give them
food and ships, when they asked
for these.
If we had a million American
troops, fit for the firing line, in
France now, the German offensive
would stop automatically. 1t is be
cause our Allies underestimated
their task, failing to see how fatal
was the detection of Russia. that the
present terrible summer opens be
fore us. But it is the last summer
of peril. There is this reinsurance;

Our casualty lists are beginning

real sense America is arriving

failed to undertake to replace the
Slav, our present Allies would have
lost the war. They can only win it
now as our efforts are constant and
unfailiDg. Optimism which aids
the Stacker and invites the worker
to pause may yet prevent our aid
from being decisive. But nothing
can prevent il, if we all recognize
the situation as it is. The last re-

Mr.. SimOndS' Forecast

Let us frankly face the fact that
for many weeks we shall have to
consider possibilities which are far
from pleasant. The Allied problem,
now, is to avoid destructive defeat
10 the months of this year During
this time the Germans will have
numbers practically equal to their
opponents, possibly slig ghtly larger. -
that is, during the time when no
co nsiderable fraction of the Ameri.
an troops now swarming over the
seas can be used in the first line
save in grave crises.
If Foch holds the Germans this
year, he will accomplish a result as
magnificent as that of Petain, who
held the Germans before Verdun
Il ntil the British were ready To do
it he ran risks. his army was cramp-
ed with the Channel at Its back

W hen the British were ready and

it all back for a mere song.

some sudden turn of the tide, some
br illiant counter-offensive by great
Al lied Army of maneuver. My
army friends tell me that this will
not occur, and that it is an error to
keep alive the illusion, which will
onlv increase the disappointment. if
things become critical again. as they
W ell may. The battle which is soon
to begin is a battle in which the

Foch seeks to hold on with no grave
disaster until the campaign of 1918
is over, Fer the campaign Of 1918
he will have a million Americans
Hi ndenburg seeks decisive victory
