mistress of the sea? Which means
how stands it with France and
other nations in the conflict? Which
means, how stands it with the world

built in the arts of peace, sway ed
by love 10 the heart, resting its hope
in fertile valleys, humming industry
peaceful firesides, or shall il wear
helmet and spur riding the steed of
hatred, pushing its way with the
thrust of the bayonet?
How it stands with these depends
largely on how it stands with Amer

Our people must understand the
enemy have to fight; they must un-
derstand, too, the strength of our
allies, and that which we must sup
ply to make the winning sure.

Drastic Labor Regulation.

On August first the supplying of
war industries with common labor
will be centralized 10 the u. S. En-
ployment Service of the Department
of Labor, and all independent re-
cruiting of common labor by manu-
features having payroll of more
than 100 persons will be diverted
to the u S. Employment Service.
This action was taken on account of
the shortage of unskiiled labor in
war industries. aggravated by labor
stealing and poaching. 1t will be
extended to include skilled labor.
This drastic regulation is intend
ed to put stop to labor turnover,
and to conserve the labor supply of
communities, and to use local sup.
ply, as far as possible for local de-
mand. eliminating transportation.
The necessity for this action may
be seen in advertisements of Pitts

Our Fighting Machine.

There is never-ending stream
these days of American kahki-clad
boys following along the railroad
lines 70 the Atlantic Coast from
where they 60 to France They are
truly the glory of America-these
young fighters, who 90 not only
willingly Tut anxiously that the
principals which our forefathers
laid down for the guidance Uf the
United States 142 years ago shall in
the future shed their radiance of
Liberty. Justice and Equality over
the entire world. That this fighting
machine may always be maintained
at its highest efficiency both physi-
cally aud spiritually it is necessary
that a constant stream of dollars
flow into the United States Treas
ury at Washington, that clothing
food, medicine, the best guns and
an unlimited supply of ammunition
may be bought and furnished to
our fighting boys.
The Government has arranged its
financial program so that the hum
blest citizen may by purchasing
War Savings Stamps take part in
keeping this great stream of dol
lars ever at high tide.
Let little rivulet of W. S. S.
flow from every home, a larger
stream from each town and river
from each State and all joining and
forming a mighty stream on whose
bosom shall ride the ships which
safely carry our boys to France

Did you ever stop 10 think,

candidates are CONCERNING others
for opposing things in connection
with the conduct of the war that
these men who are Conderning
Others had the same opinions at the
time, but their views are not on
record? This is a safe prediction
for only few months ago about
ninety per cent Of US were opposed
to sending an army 10 France, And
then, again, we elected President
Wilson because he kept US out of
war" The American people as a
whole did not want war, but we
were forced into it after we kept
out of it for many months. Can
you blame congressman and
senators for trying to carry out your
wishes? And they were your
wishes at that time. Think about
it.

Another one of the wonders work
ed by this war is noted by The
Fairfax Forum. Just a few years
ago the average city chap felt sorry
for the poor country boy because
this unfortunate was 'hick.' Now
this same city fellow is trying to
juggle the facts in his own history
to prove that he is a skilled farm
laborer, and that he can do more
to help win the war on the farm
than at the front. All this in the
face of the fact that he probably
thinks lister is a machine farm.

Points to Remember.

That one thing is now of real i'm
portance. and that is the winning
OF the war.
That the nations resources in
man.power. money. transportation
foOdstuffs. raw materials and fuel,
have already been subjected to
heavy strain. and it is the clear
duty of every citizen to guard
against increasing this strain by a
single wasteful act.
That it is most creditable for
every one man and woman. boy
and girl-to be economical in
dress. food and manner of living.
Every evidence of helpful self-denial
on the part of all in a time like this
is most commendable.
That this war is more than a con-
fiict between armies; it is a contest
in which every man. woman and
child can and should render real as,
sistance. Thrift and economy are
not only patriotic privilege, they
are a duty.

The big crops and the big prices
m AXE it possible for many farmers
to pay their debts and start 1919
even with the, game. Those who
can do this and don't will make a
mistake. Big. crops and big prices
are not harvested every year. A
mortgage and an automobile make
a bad combination anywhere and

In a London restaurant a young
wife was serving at the tables. A
man in khaki came in-her hus-

she pressed it in both of hers.
The husband had offered his serv.

men to help hold the lines So
what if this man has one bad eye?

There they stood and talked in
hushed voices-husband and wife

for any thought of impatience on
the part of the waiting guests.
Then she kissed him, and patted
his shoulder encouraginely as he
left. She watched him descend
the stairs, a culver coming to her
chin and lips. She asked another
maid to take up the work of serving
her tables and disappeared into a
cloak room.
When she came out her eyes
were wet. but her head was erect
her step firm, her whole bearing

tisans and mechanics needed for nom

The recent figure OF 100000 men,
set as the probable strength OF our
army by the end Of this year, has
led to considerable conjecture as to
the inlminence of an -acrease in the
draft age limit.
The fact is, however, that 100000
men can be mustered without exhaust
ing half the Glass / men registered
last June and still subject to call. For
our army today is less than 100000
short of that number.
The total number Of men in the
army as of May s, including regulars,
federalized National Guard and those
called under the draft, is 2,1S7,S2S'
This includes 554,397 in the federal
