Concerning about $50 men suffering

Hot Spring, Ark, to be reclaimed" at
the governments expense. Soldiers
suffering from minor ailments that pre-.
vent them from going overseas now,
will be given a chance to recover in
Waco and IL later they are declared
to be fit, they will be sent abroad to
join their own outfits. It has been
decided only few scores come in this
class.
AS regards the several hundred that
are awaiting surgeons certificates of
disability, they will be let out of the
service as soon as it is possible, under
army regulations. Because of the
large number of men to be examined,
it will be more than two months be-
fore the last are sent home.
While there are no exact figures
available to show how many of the mis-.
fits are selective soldiers, medical
corps men and other officers say that
by far the majority came from Camp
Custer.

tuberculosis Survey Saving to U. S.

tuberculosis Survey Saving to U. s.
The tuberculosis survey Of the 85th
division at Camp Custer, recently COM
pleted. saved the government more
than $500, 900.
The tuberculosis experts examined
2l,620 officers and men. or these 81
were found tubercular or with tuber-
culosis tendencies and ordered dis
charged. @
The Canadian government, after
three years, has determined that n
tubercular soldier If retained in SER
vice costs his country $5,S46. The
same figures 1t is said, would apply
in the American army. On that basis
the 81 rejects would have cost the Uni.
ted States government $514.640.
The actual cost of conducting the ex-
animation was less than 30 cents per
man examined. The expenses were
$4,000, representing the salaries of the
examiners during the two months long
test. For every dollar spent the gov
eminent saved $103.
The percentage Of reflections was
.44S, which Is considered extremely
low.

caowpER URGES DEFERRED CLAIMS.

Yesterday repeated again for the
fourth or fifth time that it was the
desire of his department for all men
registered for the draft to present

tale.
The senate Of the United States
n.ssed the Is to As draft bill with an
amendment relieving every refistrant
of the necessity of claiming his de-
ferred classification. The senate was
wise enough TO know that "chivairy'
as General CroWder calls it, would
deter many q man from claiming eX-
emption who could serve the national
welfare better at home because Of his
dependents or because Of some special
usefulness, but General CroWder OBJ
jected to the senate's plan saying tnat
he must have Glass l men at once
and that if no registrant were to claim
deferred classification the district
boards would have to inquire into the
status of all registrants which would
consume too much time in delay. The
senate then yielded and rescinded its
plan upon General Crowders promise
that he would do everything in his
power to make the draft under tbs
new law as selective as possible.
The fear was that when all men uf
to 46 years of age were registered the
going condition OF the country woulc

to avoid this by sending question

and selling OF automobiles. In his fac
tory every effort was toward reduction
of costs in his sales department the
excellence OF the machine was not
dwelt upon, but its cheapness. In
stead of making automobiles for the
four hundred and selling them at the
highest price to be obtained, he be-
gan making them for the four million
and selling them at the lowest price
psti1ie with a safe margin for
profit. The rest was easy. His ma
chine first became a business neces-
sity: then, as it became cheaper. a
family necessity And the time came
when everybody could have at least
one.
The principle was so simple it could
not fail. The business grew like a
dropsical swelling nothing could stop.
It was the same principle that John ID.
Rockefeller stumbled on when he first
started to sell kerosene. He sold II
so low, and for so small a margin OF
profit. that nobody else would COM
pete with him, and he soon owned all
the oil that was in sight. And then
he set about putting his tag upon all.
The result is that John d. is TODAY
the richest man in the world; and with
only a modicum Of brains. Nobody,
except possibly, some confirmed toad
eater, would think OF proposing John
D. Rockefeller. Sr., for the United

THE REBUKE TO BURIAN..
TDes Moines Register

Thanks to the presidents rapid
handling OF the Burian note. the Ger
man governments scheme to deceive
both the allies and the German people
has become very difficult. Vorwaerts
hits the nail squarely when it says the
question before the socialists Is not
whether they will accept post or
two In the government, but whether
they shall have an opportunity to fix
the governments policies.
We may be very sure that the ruling
class in Germany will not let slip any
of the essential dynastic or autocrauc
privileges until compelled to do so by
external force of arms or. what Is un-
likely, internal revolution. It will not
hesitate under present circumstances,
however, to go thru any number OF
generous motions and make all sorts
Of apparent concessions, sc long as the
source Of power in the empire is un-
touched.
The president may be trusted, as his
rebuke to 3urian plainly shows, 10

BUT the ACID TEST is.

A good war picture was on at local
theater last night. n mimicry of the
passion, agony and shame and death
that has been going on over there for
four years. 1t was n study in psy-
chology TO observe the manner in which
the packed audience met the pictures
and their story, the anger and hate
that stirred it at murder and at the
outrage Of womankind, the glad exulta-
ton that expressed itself when the
American troops stormed over the Ger
man trenches and swept them clean
with the cold steel. The expression of
patriotism and pride in our fighting
men was prompt and enthusiastic, even
boisterous.
And all we saw was the mere
mimicry OF the great war. the shadow
cast on a film of its horrors, its glory
and its outrage. The fighting spirit
filled the room at sight of that counter
felt so short of the actually.
The question forces itself and is a
fair one TO be put to every man and
woman who thrilled at the story of the
pictures last evening: How deep does
the thrill so and how long did it last?
Did it go deep as the pocketbook? VIII
il last TO the cashiers window? Has
each of those who cheered when the
boys went over and mopped up in the
phantom shadows of the film his and
her signature upon the order for a
bond?
The test Of our patriotism is willing
ness TO pay and to work TO win the
war No other test decides. We are
come to the time when money patriot
ism and work patriotism and fighting
patriotism abroad set the seal upon our
patriotism. The day Of mouth Ameri-
canism is past and by. There is only
one test for Americanism, work and
pay or fight. All other Anericanism is
brand. It is not q seal Of service.
One acid test Of patriotism is in
process Of application now in the ap-
peal for the six billion loan. 1t reveals
US gold or ptnchbeck. No glitter OF
words will conceal the base metal I'M
der it. And that test is the willing
ness and readiness with which we take
our allotment on this loan. 1t isn't an
entertainment. 1t Is the bald business
Of patriotism put directly up to the
individual. We must stand or fall by
it as the test decides. We are either
gold or brass.
Marshall county will quietly raise her
quota Of this loan. We do our part in
Marshall county. If there are those OF
us who cheer madly when the boys
| march out to war, applaud loudly the
pictured presentments of their deeds
and then proceed to tie a double knot
| in the straps of our pocketbooks wher
the loans are on, be sure we shall be
| known and despised for what we are
| The boys are up against the steel. We
are up against the iron. And unless
we emulate their courage and fall il
| IN the reserve that stands behind then
with money and service we are become
as tinkling brass and sounding Gym
balls There is no share in their glory
no right to their respect for slackers.

Henry Ford is, OF course, stamped

casionaily, this kind Of success broad

He has the inspiration. the breadth,
the experience In affairs. the ability to
look forward and the willingness to
serve. But such men are rare. Henry
Ford is not enc OF them. The very
means by which he has built up an
enormous industry proves this
Mr. Ford had shrewdnese enough to
. see early in his career that the auto
mobile would not always remain a toy
for the rich man to play with. He
reasoned that the machine would be-
come a valuable accessory to business
and trade. The natural corollary to
this line Of reasoning was that If the
automobile must become practical
aid to business It must be cheapened.
it's cost must be reduced and 1t must
be placed upon the market At the low
est possible margin Of profit to the
manufacturer. That the manufacturer
must depend upon the number he
made for his profit rather than the
most profit he could squeeze out o.
each single machine he sold.
