There is equal danger in postponing,
or in hurrying with, questions like
these. To name them is to show their
importance. Whatever may be done
with them now or later, or whether
anything is done, they win be factors
in the approaching campaigns. For
this reason they are entitled to orderly
and seasonable consideration. They
carry matter of great moment to all
parties and to everybody.
Congress is here, and should remain
while there is work to be done. If the
table were clear, and nothing would be
placed on it before the completion by
the House committee of the revenue
bill, the proper thing, Of course, would
be recess. But such is not the case.
The table is not clear, and what re-
mains on it is of character demand
ing discussion and action following an
examination of all details and probable
and possible consequences.

Gentlemen and Soldiers.

A captured German officer is quoted
in the dispatches as saying that the
Americans fight like devils, but after
the fight act like gentlemen. That is
a high tribute to American valor and
chivairy. It is not unwarranted. Our
soldiers have never been of the ber-
serk sort. They fight as they play
games, to win, but not by treacherous
means. They know that in this war
they are dealing with treacherous
foe, who is given to raising his arms
in token of surrender with the cry of
"kamerad" and then shooting his cap
tor in the back. They know that the
German code Of military honor knows
only one rule, to win by fair means
or by foul, and the fouler the means
the more satisfactory. Hence they
have gone into this fight with the idea
that their enemy is not to be trusted.
But they play the game nevertheless.
If they have to kill, they kill without
torture. They have never been guilty
Of crucifying their captivcs. If an en-
emy yields in good faith, they treat
him as they would have their own cap
tors treat them, fairly, decently and
humancly. If that is the quality of the
gentleman, our soldiers have fairly won
the title.

The Tammany Celebration

Tammany, as usual. will celebrate
bInorrow. 1t is to the credit Of the
|rganization that it always observes
be Fourth of July. 1t gathers in
|orce, sachems and privates mingling,
md listens to patriotic addresses.
|peakers Of wide reputation ars sought,
nd assigned for what are called . long

In this way, among others, Tammany
as kept in touch with national life.
Hen of national note have accepted its
Invitations, and, as its guests, made
|otable deliverances.
This years celebration will be. of
|articular interest by reason Of the
iet that two members of the cabinet
,e listed among the speakers. Secre.
| Try Daniels will make the long talk,
F nd Secretary Wilson one of the short
|hlks.
These two speakers were happily
hosen. Mr.. Daniels is personally very
opular, and good speaker. As the

its present management, its chief rep
resentativs has strong claims upon at
tention.
Me. Wilsen as the Secretary Of Labor
will be addressing an audience in q
city where labor is strong, we'll organ
lied and led, and influential in both
business and political affairs. His mes
sage should make q direct appeal in
circumstances when labor everywhere
is SO important in the war equation,
and SO much is expected Of it. And,
it is to be added, labor, in a general
survey Of the field, is giving an ex-
cellent account Of itself.
The patriotic character of the cele-
bration is uppermost, and amply ex-
plains the acceptance of Tammany's in
vitation by these two officials. 1t is
certain, however, to be remarked that
the presence of two members Of the
national administration at a Tanimany
function in Tammany's headquarters
is at least evidence that whatever cool
ness or bad feeling may have existed
between Tammany and the administra-
tion has disappeared, or is disappear
ing, on the eve of state campaign
when harmony in both political parties
is being sought.
Harmony is the word. The repub-
licans are getting together, and the
democrats must follow suit, or 60 to
defeat again in state which they have
lost several times Of late through di-
visions.

The First Million.

Over one million men have gone to
France since the United States entered
the war! To be explicit, 1,019, lis have
sailed from American ports for the
war zone. OF these only 291 have been
lost at sea by reason Of the work of
the German submarines. This is rec
ord to make the American heart glow
with pride and qualification.
We started to make an army little
more than year ago, from small be-
ginnings. We have today an Army of
over a million men in France or on the
seas in transit, and more than as many
more in training. Andre Tardieu,
French commissioner to the United
States, declares, it is stated today, that
the American forces in France will be
2,500, 900 in six months.
The most gratifying feature of our
Army mobilization has been the stead
ily increasing rate of transport during
the past six months. The figures are
intensely significant: January, 46,776
men; February, 4s,O27 men; March,
S3,sl1 men April, 117,212 men; May,
244, ,345 men; June, 276,372 men. Since
the great German offensive gathered
headway, starting March 81, this coun-
try has put into France or upon ships
headed that way s17,929 men, not
counting those who were sent during
the last week in March. That was
Americas response to the call for help
in man power.
To equal NJ. Tardieu's predicted fig
ure it will be necessary to ship men
abroad at the rate Of 250,Ooo month
for the next half year. This, however,
is not an impossible figure, as the rates
Tor May and June indicate. During
those two months 520,717 men have
gone over. It has been indicated that
when the newly built merchantmen Of
tho emergency fleet are commissioned
it will be possible to add to the trans
port fleet, or at least to continue the
present transport service at its full
capacity and use the new ships for the
increasing supply demands. Thus
there is no reason to look for ma
terial, if any, reduction in the trans
port rate during the summer, and, in
deed, there is every reason to look
for an increase in the rate of trans
port in the early autumn, when the
new merchant navy gets under way.

Congress.

To recess, or not to recess. That is
the question. Congress is struggling
with it.
The proposition for recess is not
as well placed as appears on the face.
As stated, Il is this: The House ways
and means committee will require at
least months time for the prepare
tion of the war revenue measure. As
there is nothing else now pressing, Con.
gress should "knock off" until the COM
mittee is ready to report. Let senator's
and representatives 60 home, mingle

information it has obtained from bust
ness sources to be affected by the new

More Need Of
Workers For
the Red Gross

To the women Of Marshall county:
The Central Division Bulletin OF the
American Red Cross says: ANY
woman who has any free time and
who can reach the Red Cross work
rooms should be giving all possible
time In that room, making surgicaI
dressings first OF all, and hospital gar
ments and linens second. This does
not mean that knitted goods are not
needed, but women should not be
knitting at any time when they could
be at work in the other deparements.
Knitting can be done by those who
can not reach these work rooms, ana
during hours when they are away from
them. Therefore spend as much time
in the Red Cross room as possible"
This surely applies to our work here.
We have leaders for surgical classes
at the rooms every Wednesday after
noon and evening and Saturday after
moons. The Wednesday evening class
was formed to give all young women
and others who are employed during
the day and who feel it is their privi-
lege to have a chance to assist in maxi

library is we'll equipped for all kinds
of work. The attendance is growing
less when the need Is growing greater.
These dressings are needed by the
millions for the comfort Of the boys and
men gone to war and II we do not do
our share they will suffer.
Monday, Tuesday. Thursday and
Friday afternoons are given to making
different garments, and there are ex-
perienced women to lead in this work.
This should interest every woman in
town. The branches in the county are
are very busy and are sending in
quantities OF work in all lines.
The Central Division Bulletin says:
Sweaters, socks, and wrlstlets are
still wanted in preference to other
knitted articles. The socks must be
at least eleven inches in the foot.
Please put no colored bands in any
knitted garments except stripes in the
cuff OF socks. Be sure there are no
ridges or knots in the socks. Knitted
goods are never thrown aside by us,
but volunteer. workers are having to
give unselflshly Of their time and Ia
Dor to altering scarfs made too short,
socks with knots in them and, sweat
ers without neck and arm holes REIN
forced"
These are general suggestions for
the Central Chapter for which the
Marshall county chapter is a part. Let
us profit by these when necessary.
1t is the wish of all those assisting in
the work at the Red Cross rooms that
after New Years the place will be full
OF helpers.
There is work for all-choose the
kind you best can do and come and
help. Don't let the boys who have
gone to the front suffer because we do
not do our duty.
