ATTEMPT
TO MAKE CLEAN UP

George Dew's grocery store at
Stratford avenue and Read street, and
the automobile accessory store owned
by Herbert L. Treat at 1888 Stratford
avenue, were entered last night by
burglars and as far as known four
tires, three tubes Sc spark plugs and
five headlights formed the loot.
Apparently the thieves had planned
a big cleanup and had an auto truck
handy, but their program was inter-
rupted by J. F. Mccormack, of 1870
Stratford avenue, who scared them
away by firing pistol shot in the air.
The police reported today they had
recovered the four tires where they
had been dropped by the thieves in
their hurry to get away.

THE WAR AND THE NEXT LOAN

The continued advance of the Allies
heralded in some newspapers in exag
gerated headlines, may arouse an over.
confident feeling that will be detri.
mental to the successful prosecution
of the war unless readers are careful
to watch the map and note the actual
advance.
The Allies have not yet regained all
the territory lost since the big drive
began in the spring, and though they
are pressing steadily forward, a great
deal of hard fighting will have to be
done before the final victory is ours.
The Fourth Liberty Loan drive will
soon begin and every one must be i'm
pressed with the fact that to lag be-
hind because of recent successes and
present bright prospects is to retard
the final victory just that much.
A complete victory and a quick VIC
tory is the aim of all the Allies, and
a large oversubscription to the Fourth
Liberty Loan is one of the best ways
of helping.

BAD NEWS FOR WILHELM

Many are called, and quite a few
will be chosen. The new draft regis
tration which will take place early in
September will include all those men
of the country between the ages of Is
and As who have not previously regis
tered.
The people of the United States
have come to realize that this war is
going to require strenuous effort, that
nothing but a wholehearted prosecu-
tion of the war with all available re-
sources will assure victory. The 9TH
er nations look to us; we must bear
the brunt of the conflict from now on.
And so the American people will
accept the September registration in a
loyal understanding spirit, and it will
not cause as much excitement and
comment as the first draft, Our
country has gone through the fire of
trial since Easter, 1917, and views
problems and situations with a clear
er vision.
The main fight over the Man-Power
Bill centered around lowering the
draft ages below 81. There has al
ways been q dislike of drawing the
youngsters into a war. Attempts
were made to make separate classes
of the Is and 19-year-old boys, but
these failed.
What will we do when the available
men Of the present registration have
all been called to the colors? This
will not take long under the plans
for vast army in Frace by July. On
ly a few hundred thousand can be
used of the men over 80. The bulk
Of the fighting forces of 1919 will come
from the young men under 81. Gen
eral March was asked during a recent
discussion of the military program,
whether this army made up of the
new registration would represent our
maximum strength in the field. Not |
at ALL" replied General March.

for the comfort and convenience

who could not find places to get

such weather as we are having
when all the stores are closed
