THE NEW DRAFT.

The second draft has started
There are to be 100000 men chosen
for training, to replace men OF the
first draft as their training period
is completed. They will be called,
in small leyies. during the next few
months. SO few will be selected at
any particular time from any place
that the effect will scarcely be telt
in the lie OF the community Thus
there will be little disorganization
OF industry. And if the matter is
handled wisely there need be little
disorganization OF home lie.
Along this line it is well, perhaps,
10 sound friendly warning. There
are still enemies among Us who do
all in their power to interfere with
our war preparations. One OF their
tayorite devices is to make the war
abhorrent to recruits and their fam

many recruits, and these recruits
themselves are sometimes so foolish
or weak as to pass on the dreadful
tales to their relatives and friends,
thus causing needless worry and
suffering.

The Significance Of the Submarine

crossed. Serbia had to be subject
ed to her domination because the
only practicable path for a railway
to Constantinople was through the
Morava valley which lay in Serbian
territory. Ii Germany can control
this route she need not consider
her unfayorable position as regards
the sea. She will have 4 CONNER
cial highway unassailable by any
power. She will also have vast
territory capable OF economic devel-
opment. She can finally make the
present sea routes so dangerous by
attacks from submarine bases, eth
er in the north or in the neighbor-
hood OF Constantinople, that they
will have to be abandoned. The
freedom OF the seas will have been
destroyed, the economic unity OF
the world seriously impaired, and
the work OF centuries rendered cf
little or no avail.
The submarine is significant to US
then not because through it's use
several hundred American lives have
been lost or because a Jew Ameri-
can ships have been DESTROYED. but
because the whole fabric of inter.
national economic life is threaten

ing none will deny--is to DESTROY
Germany's land power, or cause her
to realize that the world will NOT
permit any nation so to conduct her
self as TO imperial ideals which after
so many Years OF toll and trouble
on the part OF the civilized world
nave received all but universal rec
ogmtion. That we as Americans
are interested in these questions is
thus quite evident. At first blush
the interest which we have in Sc
curing to Serbia an outlet on the
Adrlatic, or in the rehabilitation of
the Balkan states does not perhaDS
appear. Nor is the reason evident

HELP THE UNITED STATES

The United States OF America,
the leader in republican form OF
government, is sending her best
and brayest to Europe, that the
world might be saved from the
domination OF Prussian militar-
ism. Those boys are on the fir
ing line, ready, ii necessary, to
make the supreme sacrifice.
The people at home cannot be

their money to the government to

AN EASY TASK.

After what we did in the first and
second Liberty loans the third
should come easy 1t will be par
+icularly easy because the amount
llled for is so much smaller than
We have expected Most people
looked for 4 war bond issue Of
about S5,00O,O000O. And here We
find the government asking tor 4
mere S3,000,O00000, which was the
minimum requirement OF the sec
ond loan.
1t was easier to raise that second
loan than it was to raise the first,
though it was 50 per cent higher.
We cannot imagine. therefore, the
slightest difficulty in duplicating
our last record. The only differ
ence between the new loan and the
other one. so lar as amount IS con
cerned. is that this time the gov
ernment will accept all oyer-Sub-
scriptions, whereas before it only
accepted half OF them.
The very smallnesS Of the issue
tends to ease credit and thus ia
ciitates the raising OF money to buy
these new bonds. The added IA per
cent interest they will bear makes
them more desirable to possess
than the old per cents. We now
have the bond-investment habit.
The big battle in France is a pow
ertul incentive. There is every rea-
son tor believing that previous rec
ords will be broken.
But let us beware OF oyer-con-
fidence or apathy, just because 1t
does look 50 easy. Let us jump
into the game with such enthusiasm
that the minimum will be assured
in the first week OF the drive, and .
our subscription will be so .

Massachusetts officials estimate
that the number OF women workers
in that state has increased by near

THE LITTLE LAD
By Agnes Lee
OF The Nigilantes

To me its always the little lad
AFRAID to speak his name.
But he was one OF the first to go.
When his heart received the flame
lie used to steal from the shadowy
room.
Md over the lighted stair
II dismal tales were being told.
But he won the Croix de Guerre
He clutched my hand when the
thunder broke
He paled at the lightnings glance.
But he met the Teutons face TO face
And he Iell with the sons OF France.

For this attitude the great Amer
lean public, which is the invisible
foundation upon which Wall street
finance and stock market tranSac-
tions are based, is primarily respon-

the American people were conh-

credit must be given to the tinan-

walls holes to serve as windows
have been blasted, and in these aper-

PART 1T IN THE MIDDLE.

is one Of the fundamental principles
which every woman knows. And
now that there i, a chance OF dying
with glory there Is another reason
provided why men should enlist.
Before them lies terrible choice.
Either they must part their hair
in the middle, Or
Paris was once the source Of wo-
mems fashions, London OF mems.
Those DAYS have passed. Still more
recently. New York was the social
,artorial arbiter That time too,
has driited bly, Washington now
claims to be the center OF all things.
Whether it's what YOU shall eat or
how you shall pay your income tax
or what YOU shall wear or how you
shall be coiffured-look to Wash
ington.
And Washington has decreed
that male hair shall be parted in
the middle. It's one of wars most
cruel horrors. But we are used TO
horrors now And eyerybody's do
