A TRIBUTE TO DRY TOWNS.


Writing for the Atlantic Monthly,
Ida NJ. Tarbell tells of her experience
on a ChautauQua circuit In western
Pennsylvania, central Ohio and Michi-
gan.
1--WE came to know almost as soon
as we reached a new place whether the
town was dry or not" she says. "A
town that had been dry over a period
OF a dozen years had trimness about
tie streets and buildings. look Of
freshness and energy about young peo-
pie and old which stood out in almost
incredible contrast to what we found
in the wet town Of the same size. We
went to one town in Ohio which had
been dry for 81 years.. so the hotel
keeper told me. He claimed to be a
much-traveled person, and said that in
all the many towns which he had
known intimately, he had never found
one in which there was such a fine lot
OF young people as here. In health,
in vigor, in initiative, he believed that
the young men and women. particular
ly of the working classes, were tremen-
dously ahead Of the same group In the
towns where liquor was freely dis
played"

ENLIST EARLY

Coyl w. Roe enlisted in the army
today and left for Camp Joseph e.
Johnston, where he viii begin his mil
itary training in the quartermaster
corps.
1t has been reported to the recruit
ing officers of the army and navy that
there are several persons making re-
marks about what the government
should do in regard to enlisting young
men IN the service by the volunteer
system. These people seem to think
their young men should stay at home
until they are 81 years old, but they
are badly mistaken. What do the peo.
pie think the government is keeping
up this volunteer system for2 There
is nothing better for your young men
than military training, and if boy
was too young at the age of 18 to get
along in the military service. don't
you think the government would
know it? Would you rather have your
boys stay at home and hang around
pool rooms and run around the streets
late at night and loaf around town in
the day? What good are they doing?
There is lot of people who are MAX
ing these remarks and telling the
boys not to volunteer and to wait and
be drafted They do not seem to real
ize they are hindering recruiting and
that is an offense against the govern
ment. 1t is all right to think some
things, but do not express yourself In
public where others can hear for you
may be talking to a secret service
party, and do not look surprised when
some u. S. marshal steps up with
warrant for your arrest. If things
here were like they are in France,
your women would have to go out in
the field and use the plow. Then you
would realize what war is. This is
written for the benefit of those who
are making these remarks and hope
there will be no more of it, as we need
men at the age of 1S as well as Al. SO
be patriotic and encourage the boys
to enlist, get military training and do
some good for their country. Your
boys are well taken care of.

THE LABOR PROBLEM
AND ITS SOLUTION

The drastic amendment to the Sc
lective service regulations, announc-
ed by Provost Marshal General Crow
der, effective July 1st, will go far to-
ward solving the ever prevalent la
Dor problem.
Not only idlers, but all draft reg
istrants engaged in what are held to
be non-useful occupations are to be
haled before local boards and given
the choice of a new job or the army.
Should this move prove insufficient
to satisfy the industrial and agrieul-
tural demands of the country, we
may find it necessary to resort to
compulsory registration of all per-
sons, between the ages of 15 and so,
to do the needful work to back up the
fighting man, says VIM. Grant Will
son, travelling examiner for the Unit
ed States department of labor, now in
Ocala.
He sounds warning to persons en-
gagged in unnecessary pursuits, as
well as those working only part time
and still others who are enjoying the
fruits of their children's and wives
labor, to heed the handwriting on
the WALL" get busy and find job be-
fore they are compelled to do so.
Those who are said to "live on the in.
terest of their money" or some one
else's money. are included. There is
am abundance of honorable, healthfuI
work to be done. Now let US all put
our shoulders to the wheel and do it.

SUNK THURSDAY NIGHT

London, May 24-The British arm.
ed merchant ship Moldavia, with Am
erican troops on board, has been tor
pedoed and sunk according to an of
fetal bulletin issued by the admiralty
this evening, which says fifty-six
Americans are missing.
The Moldavia was torpedoed with
out warning. 1t was moonlight night
and although good lookout was kept,
the attacking submarine was not
sighted before the torpedo struck
Most of the men aboard were in their
hammocks when the explosion occur
red amidships. The sailors and SOL
diers alike showed no panic. They fell
calmly into line and awaited orders.
When it was seen that the Moldavia
was settling down, all on board were
taken off by the escorting ships
1t is believed that the American
soldiers missing from the Moldavia
were sleeping on the bottom decks
and were overtaken by the great in
rush Of water, after the explosion,
when they were trying to reach the
main deck. The vessel was struck be-
low the bridge.
Survivors agree that the Moldavia
was t6rpedoed and not mined. One
seaman said:
eve were proceeding up the chan
mel bound for an English port early
Thursday morning. The weather was
find and there was bright moonlight.
We felt an explosion amidships. The
ship had been struck just below the
bridge, but we could see no subma.

for the human race to live through,
yet daily the press is giving to us
constant bulletins of facts, facts upon
which we can base an estimate of
something of the griefs, something of
the misery, something of the wrongs
that will come when the war is over.
We all know that the belligerent
lands will be financially impoverished
so that they will be compelled to visit
upon unborn millions excessive and
oppressive taxation, in order to pay
the cost of the war.
"We all know that there will be
an impoverished civilization because

GERMAN PLOTS REVEALED

Lodon, May 24.-Germany's untir-
ing efforts to foment rebellion in Ire
land with aid to the Sim Fein were
laid bare in a statement made by the
Official Press Bureau, reviewing this
phase of the Irish political situation
since the beginning of the war. After
the abortive revolt of Easter, 1916,
plans were made for revolt the next
year, but these miscarried because of
Americas entrance into the war and
Germany's inability to send troops to
Ireland. An uprising was planned to
take place this year, after Germany's
offensive in the west had been sue
cessful. Under the circumstances, it
is added, no other course is open for
the government eff useless bloodshed
is to be avoided and its duties to the
Allied fulfilled, but to intern the au-
thors and abettors of this criminal
intrigue"

and only when universal brotherhood
exists will the. world have reached
the height of civilization.
Nestled among her many hills and
famed by the soft breezes of the
Mediterranean, grew up a nation
whose language was destined to be
the means by which the Faith of the
Hebrew was carried throughout the
civilized world. The seeds of Chris
tianity have been waited down the
centuries by the breath of the Greeks.
But the progress of the world was
still impeded by the existence of the
many hostile nations. To bring them
together into closer brotherhood,
uniting them under the first code of
written laws, was the work of the
Roman. Being a restless people they
soon grew discontented with their
narrow bounds and pushed their do
mains far to the west. Those fertile
Islands which have since become the
seat of a powerful nation were in
cluded in their grasp, but only for a
time. They were destined to become

THE HOUR"
Address to the WOman's Club by It's
President, Mrs. w. T. Gary

President, Mrs. w. T. Gary
Through the ages during which an
inhabitable world was being per-
fected life developed from its min
utest forms. Period after period
passed away; age after age, era after
era was completed. Growth of con-
tinent and evolution of life continued.
From time to time great revolu-
tions occurred, upheaving mountains,
scooping great seas, creating lakes
and rivers; all these monuments to
stand for other ages yet to come.
The river ground down it's canon; the
coral polyp built up it's island; the
sands of the sea were scattered from
pole to pole by the winds and waves
of years innumerable.
At length time came when envi-
ronment favored rapid advance
ment of life. Fields were aglow
with verdure; the dews of forests
ever glistened in the light of the ris
ing sun; brute force and ferocity
ceased their dominating power; the
consumation of Life was realized and
reason appeared as ruler.
From this, the crowning work OF
all creation, a mighty race has
sprung. A race whose people, with
in time so brief that its whole du-
ration is as but a day in century
when compared to the ages previous,
have developed from utmost barbar-
ism to a. state of lofty civilization.
A race whose people, by the intellect
with which they were endowed, have
crushed ages into. centuries, centi-
ries into years, years into days.
Penetrating the depths of every will
derness and breasting the pillows of
every sea, the world is now their own.
Not river claims an unknown
source; not an island is washed by
an unseen wave, nor is there forest
the shade of whose trees is offered
in vain.
The progress of this people has
been gradual but unceasing. Trac.-
ing it from its beginning, we find at
first a rude ungoverned family whose
lives were spent upon the banks of
rivers and within the depths of for.
ests. Time passed and they were
gathered into tribes each governed by
its chosen leader. From this union
grew other and greater unions. The
interchange of thought began the de-
velopment of intellect. Within the
course of centuries nations had been
formed; unwritten laws had been
established; and mind had begun its
uOp5ro1IS work
Through three great channels-the
nations of the Hebrew, the Greek and
the Romantic three elements in
the nature of man were developed,
the spiritual, the intellectual and the
physical.
The Hebrew cherished his belief
in the one ever present God, and
when the world become discontented
with its many petty religions and a
great restlessness had fallen upon
its people, from that nation sprung
the ONE by whom the world was
revolutionized. Since then only
| those nations which have accepted
His teachings have been progressive.
