LESSON OF UNFIT
 TAUGHT BY DRAFT
(Everybody's Magazine,

(EVeryDodyS MagaZine)
 Gen. Leonard Wood and other army otficers predicted for the draft that if strict examination standards were maintained. less than 50 per cent of men would be found available, This prognostication has come true-and some to spare.
 or course, there are exceptional cir cumstances. but, as the physician chairman of one of the boards examin- ing drafted men on the East side of New York said: My $50 rejections out ot total of 1.60o examined simply re- fleets the condition of poverty in my district. It is safe to say that 40 per cent Of the young men on the East Side are unfit for military duty because of lack of proper nourishment and the iack or clinics to minister to their physical needs"
 To which I would add, And to the horrible overcrowding in reeking, filthy tenements, perpetual oxygen starvation resulting therefrom, the lack of the common necessities for decency and cleanliness, ignorance of food values, together with 8 capacity for insulting and maltreating food in it's preparation that would bring blushes to the cheeks or most European housewives: to the long. grinding hours of toll and the | short hectic hours of vice: the made quate wage, the unacceptable urge to temptation: the chronic suggestion of drunkenness, debauchery, soddenness and hopelessness, that envelops it all like a murky pall.'
 Then there are the stunting. brajr dwarfing influences of child labor and Of the labor of women who are with 1 IchtId-working long hours in factories l or shops-when they should be care fully nurtured at home-of the blight Of drunkenness of degeneracy. or nar- cotfsm.
 l These are the factors-and thev are nationwide and terribly common that no recruiting officer can combat but must, nevertheless, reckon with. And they lie beyond the power of any physician, of any recruiting officer to correct.
 They are, or should be, the concern Of the government. They should con sutute the most important problem with which we must deal-the conser- Vatlon of the man. woman and child power of the country.
 We must, as Nation, realize that to prevent is easier than to cure-and
 govern ourselves accordingly. It is
 right that the youth should, if neces.
 sary, cheerfuliy make the supreme sac. rifice to preserve his country but it Is
 equally right that the country should
 make some effort to preserve its youfh

HUNS OF THE AIR"
 INVADE BIRDLAND
(NeW York Herald)


 The Huns of the air are here and have begun a campaign of wholesale murder strikingly similar to their pro- totypes of the Prussian army. The Huns of the air are known to ornitol> ogists as goshawks and they are the most rapacious, cruel, bloodthirsty feathered devils known to birdland. They attack all little birds and domes- tic fowls and kill them as much for the joy of killing as to get food. In their methods they are almost as bad as the Prussians, although of course they have not quite as much refine next of cruelty; they don't cut off the feet of nestlings. for instance, as the Huns cut off the hands of Belgian babies.
 But the goshawks have made their appearance in New Jersey and in New York state, close to this city and al- ready have begun the slaughter of birds. Yesterday afternoon a flock of about fifty goshawks were seen flying above the resrI~Av in West Hoboken, N. J.. which is only two miles from Herald square. Undoubtedly there are many more of them nearby. Eleven years ago the goshawks made . raid in great force upon the birds of the New England states and killed thousands of them. Now apparently they are re- beating that campaign.
 A few weeks ago all New England became aware of the fact that the mi- grafton of goshawks of eleven years ago was being repeated and the fish and game commission of Massachu- setts sent out warning to hunters and farmers to destroy the raiders as much as possible.
 It is supposed that the goshawks have been driven south from their usual haunts in Canada and the ex- | treme northern part of the United States by the scarcity of their usual food supply, which is ptarmigan and hare. It would seem that the cruel 1 birds of prey are suffering partial famine in their own country, just as the Huns are in theirs, end so nave in l. vaded more favored localities to spread their peculiar ideas of kultur. Ornithol- ogists say that the goshawaks can do more damage to bird life in a short time than can be rectified by several seasons Of protection by the game laws. They are villains of the deepest dye and the most destructive creatures that fly. They are enormously powerful and 2 match for any other bird. The fe . males are even more ferocious than the m-les and much stronger. They can match and hold full grown hare, no matter how violently it may strug- gle to get free Since the war they are uparticularly partial to Belgian hares and love to see them suffer. They are handsomer than the two-headed yul- ture of the Prussian coat of arms. but stand for the same sort of propaxanda, and now they have come doW,i here to get "a place in the sum-

(LOndon Times)

(London Times)
 The international committee of the Red Cross has addressed an appeal to the belligerent states against the fur ther use of poisonous gases. The ap- peal points out that the progress of science in aeronautics. ballistics or chemistry has but intensified the evils of war, and has even extended them to the entire population, so that war will soon be nothing but work of general and pitiless destruction.

CREED WORTH LIVING UP To
Man Who Wrote 1t Had Proper Appre.
citation of the Advantages Of
Life in the Country.

If any country boy ever becomes dis.
contented with his lot and thinks there
might be more opportunities elsewhere
or better place to live than in a white
farmhouse, let him read the creed com,
posed by Edwin Osgood Grover. The
lines might be pinned up on his blu,
reau, where he can see them the first
thing in the morning and the last
thing at night.
81 believe that the country, which
God made, is more beautiful than the
city, which man made; that life out
of doors and in touch with the earth
is the natural life of man.
81 believe that work is work where
ever we find 1t, but that work with
nature is more inspiring than work
with the most intricate machinery.
II believe that the dignity of labor
depends not on what you do, but on
how you do it that opportunity comes
to boy on the farm as often as to a
boy in the city; that life is larger and
freer and happier on the farm than in
the town; that my success depends not
upon my location, but upon myself j.;
not upon dreams, but upon what
actually do; not upon luck, but upon
pluck
Il believe in working when you work
and in playing when you play, and In
giving and demanding a square deal in
every act of life"

Druggist
High School Graduates
Should Enter Normals

"On the character and ability of
the teachers everything depends"
says DR.. P. P. CIaxton, T. S. Commits
sioner of Education, in urging boys
and girls to enter normal schools and
prepare for teaching this year.
Besides the thousands of men who
have been drafted or have volunteer
| ed for service il the army, other
thousands of men and many thou
sands of women have quit the work
of teaching for employment in in
duStries, commerce, civil service, and
clerical positions where they are
the war continues and as the cost of
! living increases, and the demand for
services of the kind teachers can rem
der grows larger, the numbers of
| teachers leaving the schools for 9TH
er employment will become still grea-
| ter, and this tendency is likely to
continue long after the war is over
unless the salaries of teachers should
be increased far beyond the present
average. How are their places to be
filled? By trained or by unframed
teachers?
Unless the attendance at the nor
NAL schools and in departments of
education in colleges and universe
ties is much increased, most Of these
places must be filed by men and wo-
men without professional knowledge
and with no special training for
their work. In this case the charac-
ter of the schools will inevitably de-
teriorate and the time of the chill
dren and the money appropriated for
education will be to a large extent
wasted. 1t is, therefore, very impor-
tant that for next year and for many
years to come there should be more
students in these schools for the
preparation of teachers than there
have ever been. Thousands Of boys
and girls who have finished their
high school work might and should
render their country high type of
patriotic service by entering these
schools next fall, winter, or spring to
prepare themselves for the work of
teaching in the elementary and sec
ondary schools"

teen and twenty, inclusive, who reg
istered yesterday, will receive this
QUESTIONABLE first, and many are eN-
pected to be called to the service dur
ing October. Older men will receive
missionaries later.
There are nearly 200 questions in
the QUESTIONABLE, but forty-four
come under the heading of ''agricul-
tural occupations" and will not in
terest anyone except those engaged
in such occupations, and therefore
need not be answered.
There are also thirty-five questions
relating to industrial occupations, -"
which will interest only men who
will ask for deferred classification
for industrial reasons.
Persons who will ask for deferred
classification for industrial reasons
may attach affidavits to their ques-

The total collections for the month are

9TH provost marshal general has

Farmers will have to support their

ers who fail to heed this advice, the
notice says, will have no cause for
complaints if their hands are taken

Battling Priest" Is
Still in His House
Declares He VIII Fight to the Last
Ditch-PrOtest of the Practitioners
Caused Removal

ELGIN, ILL.,. March 19.-Rev John j.
Mccain, the battling priest" though
forcibly ousted from the pastorate of
st. Mary's Catholic church here, con-
tinued to hold the parish house to-
day. His latest challenge to Bishop
Peter j. Muldoon was:
Il am going to fight to the last
trench. l refuse to be ousted l am
within my legal rights"
Father Mccain barricaded his
house today and refused to permit
anyone to enter An armed guard,
representing the bishop, patrols the
church property.
Father Mccain attributed his ar
rest yesterday following a fusilade of
bullets to spite work" Father Nc
Cam was saying mass when posse
headed by Chief of Police Frank Ga
han burst into the church which was
barred and locked
When the officers appeared and the
chief announced that Father Mccain
was under arrest the latter turned
from the altar and said quietly: L
cannot be interrupted now The of
ficers then waited until the priest
had finished saying mass when he
submitted quietly
Attorney Frank Mccarthy, chairman
of the church board of trustees, and
Deputy Sheriff Poole served the writ.
The writ was issued by the Kane
county circuit court as a result of
custer proceedings instituted by the
church trustees. Father Mccain re-
fused to give up the parish maintain
ing that he was an "irrpmOVa hla rac-
tor" The order to suspend him was
issued some time ago on request of
more than $500 of his Pensioners
Constable Frank C. Lorenz said he
had been forced to flee from the
church under threat of being filled
full of lead" He then called the DO
lice who were met with a hail OF
bullets before they entered.
