and necessary freight trains.
Among the many patriotic duties of
the American public at this time is the
duty to refrain from travelling IN
necessarily. Every man, woman and
child who can avoid using passenger
trains AZ this time should do so. !
earnestly hope that they will do so.
Not only will they liberate essential
transportation facilities which are
necessary for war purposes, but they
will save money which they can in
vest in Liberty Bonds and thereby
help themselves as well as their coun-
try; and the fewer who travel, the
more ample the passenger train ser
vice vii be.
may add that consistently with the
paramount demands of the war, every
possible effort is being made by the
Railroad Administration TO supply the
largest possible amount of comforta-
BILE and prompt passenger train ser

may allow themselves 10 be persuaded
That, on patriotic as well as on econo-
mic grounds, il might be better for
their children TO be employed for al
least the present time.
From every point Of view this Is d
mistake. II there was ever time
when the need for schooling was mon
apparent, 1t IS right now. The ooun-
try will need for the rest of the waI
and afterwards, young men and wOm-
en- who have had the advantage Of the
discipline and training of the schools
Both the government and the educa-
tional authorities are urging that the
schools be kept up in numbers and
improved in the quality of the train
ing given. The intelligence and eff
cheney Of the American OF tomorrow
depends upon 1t.
There Is another aspect 10 the ques-
tion; il Is well known that once the
youth leaves school. they are unlikely
to return. Industry or business alb
serbs them. As they grow older, they
feel ashamed to go back and take up
the schooling with younger boys and
girls. The longer they defer, the less
likely they are to return.
Then, too, boys and girls IN the
aiolescent period, drifting out into the
eddies and currents Of urban indus
trial life, unfortifed by the intslli-
gencc and discipline Of the school, are
too often led astray and become the
victims of bad companions and a de
moralizing environment.
The problem, it will be seen, is not
one for finland solution. II the next
generation is to be what We want it
to be, it Is the duty Of the present
generation to hesitate at no temper
AIRY sacrifice to prepare the children
and youths to inherit the land and
Garry on" for America in the spirit OF
their fathers who have struggled and
fought for her.

THE SPIRIT OF rs AND
THE MELTING POT

From the September Sunset
In the battle of the Marne salient
more American troops participated
than in any engagement in American
history, a few Of the Civil War con-
tests excepted. Though the casualty
lists show that nearly every national
ity on the globe was represented in
the overseas battalions, the spirit that
sent the boys forward, that gave
weight to their advance, and dash to
their charges, were pure American.
On the battle fields of France the
United States is demonstrating that
the flame of American idealism is hot
enough to fuse the varigated con-
tents of the Melting Pot into homo
geneous national steel as tough and
true as Damascene blade.

McADOO DOESN'T WANT US
TO TRAVEL: STATEMENT

Complaints have reached me from
time to time of overcrowded trains
and unsatisfactory conditions prevail
ing in some sections of the country in
passenger train service. l feel GER
tain that there are grounds for some
Of these complaints, but | am sure the
public will be interested to know tina
the reasons are twofold:
First, the great number of troops
now being handled over the various
railroads between the homes and the
cantonments, between the different
is making extraordinary demands up
on the passenger car and sleeping car
equipment of the country. This has
caused a scarcity Of day coaches and
sleeping cars which it is impossible
to remedy Immediately.
Secondly, the increased demands
upon track and terminal facilities for
the transportation of the tremendous
amounts of coal, food supplies, raw
materials, and other things required
for military and naval operations, as
well as for the support of the civil
population of the country, force the
largest possible curtailment of pas
senger train service. The movements
of troops and war materials are, Of
course. of paramount importance and
must be given at all times the right
Of way.
1t is hoped that the increase in pas
senger rates recently made would have
the wholesome effect of reducing un-
necessary passenger traffic through
out the country. The smaller the num-
ber of passengers who travel, the
greater the number of locomotives and
cars and the largeb the amount Of
track and terminal facilities that will
be freed for essential troop and war
material movements. Engineers, fire
men and other skilled laborers will

WINNING THE WAR is EASY
ACCORDING TO THE CRANkS
EXCHANGE:

Exchange:
London, July IS. (By Mail). Buz-
yards, trained to fly to Essen and pick
the mortar out of the chimneys of the
krupp gun works, will win the war,
according to one jealous Britisher. He
has submitted his idea to the inven-
tions department of the ministry of
munitions.
Another patriot charges nothing for
the suggestion that a fleet of balloons,
carrying powerful magnets attached
to cables, be sent over the German
armies. You don't see? Why, the
magnets will pull the guns out of the
Heinies' hands, and the tin hats off
their heads, of course. Then the AL
lies will turn loose a little sharpnel
upon the unarmed and uncovered hosts
of Hohenzollern, and the war will be
over. That's the idea. End the war.
The moon worries lot of invent
ors. That's why they're called loony
from Luna, the polite society name for
the orb of night, which always has had
a strange influence over persons afflic-
ted with-er unusual turns of mind.
One patron of the British mails
wishes the ministry of munitions to
cover the moon with a big balloon,
not only because of the harmony that
would result, but because the moon
is friendly to the Huns. If anybody
wants to use the moon, he'll find il
covered up like a showcase on Sun
day, and tagged, "Moon out of order
until after the war" Another would
blot out the moon by covering it with

q beam of black ight-whatever that

cloudy day, wipe out the Germans.
One genius would cover. all vacant
land with big factories, get up big
fire in the boilers so as to throw out
4 lot of smoke, and blow the factory
whistles to beat the band. This, of
course, would attract the Heinies in
their planes and they would waste all
their ammunition blowing up the fac
tories, which would contain no work
men except those needed to fire the
engines and blow the whistles. The
Germans would 90 home in dire de-
feat.
Other recent suggestions include:
Shoot shells filled with sick cooties
and ailing feas into the German lines.
Squirt cement over the Heinies and
petrify them
Build shell with q steering gear.
put a man inside, and direct him to
drive right to the royal palace, Ber-

Build a lawn mower as big as a
tank and make weinerwurst of the

Skim the grease of your soup at
luncheon and use it instead of gaso-
line in your car and help win the war.
Build a tunnel to Potsdam and get
the Kaiser.
Spread large wire nets over a large
section of France, then retreat, Turing
the Germans on. When you get them
where you want them, roll up your
nets and file the German armies away
