As the Yank Saw It.

London Pershing's offensive has
revived a month-old story which may
not have reached America, though it
reached the music hall stage here.
"An American, en-" said one of the
perennial casual inquirers to one Of
the first American soldiers seen in
England. "What are you, Y. M. @.
APP
NO." drawled the Yank. II reckon
we're the Salvatic 'rny."

Trees Firmly Anchored.

! The great limbs of the tree are full
OF leaves and every leaf acts as sail
to catch the wind. Tremendous pres.
sure is exerted against an old tree
when the wind is blowing. 1t bends a
little from the top; its limbs wave in
the air, but 1t stands erect. It is an
chored in the ground by the roots, Of
course; that is understood. But i'm
agine, If you please, what great
spread the roots must have, how they
must be interlaced in the earth, to
what depth they must extend in the
earth, to hold the great tree upright
as the winds press against it.

the several armed forces for men
highly skilled In technical and me-
chanical pursuits is greater than In
any former war. Yet this need for
specially, skilled men finds the ma
ing it's production in almost every
line Of industry. Withdrawals Of
men from industry must be made
and these Withdrawals must take
men who might otherwise be deferr-
ed on account of their special quail
numbers Of such skilled men will be
men already in the military service
who have such special skill will be
taken from the line regiments and
assigned to the staff organization
and departments where their. skill is
needed Second Sal,d men CLASSIFIED by
they may have been placed in de
ferred classification, will be with
drawn with great care and particu-
larity from the industries of the
nation for special service in staff
corps and DEPARTMENTS. Third,
educational qualifications will be in
duced into the service and sent to
universities, colleges, and technical
and secondary schools to be instruct
ed in technical arts until they have
acquired such proficiency as will
justly their assignment to the
special units that are being organ
lied in considerable numbers.
In accordance with this plan, the
Provost Marshal General has already
called upon the state for some 49,
900 skilled artisans and, will short
ly call upon the states for 10000
young men, graduates OF grammar
schools, who will be sent before the
first of April to various technical
and other schools throughout the
United States for two months
training. Regularly thereafter, an
increasing stream of selected men
will be sent through educational and
other training institutions for this
purpose.
TO sum up, it may be said that
there will be no sudden withdrawal
of great numbers of men from the
ranks Of industry and agriculture
during the coming summer but that
men will be drawn in relatively
small groups throughout the year in
such way as to create the le:st
possible interference with industry
and agriculture. Men in deferred
classes as we'll as men in Class /
will be selected in small numbers
either on account of their special
technical qualifications or for the
purpose of sending them TO schools
where they will be given an oppor-
tunity to acquire such qualifications

EXEMPTION FOR FARMERS.
Latest Order Permits Boards to Pass
Active Agriculturists.

In a letter sent out Thursday b by
boards are instructed that in the
filling of the emergency call recent
ly issued, they are to pass the or
der numbers Of men actively engag..
ed in the planting of cultivation OF
an agricultural crop.
This action is taken owing to the
scarcity of farm labor. 1t is n"int-
ed out that this step is taken solely
on account of the need of the nation
and not for the benefit of any in
dividual Local boards are. there
fore asked to observe closely the
conduct of the men thus deferred,
and Immediately upon becoming
convinced that any of them are rot
giving their entire time and atten-
ton to agricultural work, or are
trifling with the deferment granted
them, the board must call such per-
sons to the colors. :.
1t is further requested that all
citizens should assist in the matter
of bringing to the attention of the
boards cases meriting deferment as
we'll as cases in which deferment is
being abused.

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-

body They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
