MUST BACK THE GOVERNMENT
WITH ALL OUR STRENGTH.

Few people, indeed, in this county
now fail to realize that we are fight
ing brutal, relentless enemy. The
indictment against the Hun grows
stronger every day. He is absolutely
devoid of pity or chivalry. An Am
erican correspondent reports CONVEX
sation with crippled British officer,
who, after long stay in German
prison pens, had been exchanged.
The officer tod of men so feeble
from lack of food and bad conditions
as 10 be scarcely able to stand being
forced TO work at the point of the
bayonet until they dropped from sheer
exhaustion and weakness; of badly
set fractured arms and legs; of
soldiers buried to the accompaniment
Of the jeers of German soldiers; of the
long journeys of the badly wounded
without relief of dressings, food or
water; of wounded prisoners marched
to exhaustion and then shot down like
dogs when they could no longer walk;
of prisoners put into camps where
typhus ragged.
This is the kind Of enemy we are
fighting, and this is why all of us
must get down and put every bit Of
our strength back of the government.
For one thing, we must buy only those
things necessary to maintain ourselves
in the most efficient condition. That
will give the government more labor
and materials for war purposes. And
then with our savings we must buy
war savings stamps. That will give
the government current funds with
which to use labor and materials in
the successful prosecution of the war.
We must do as President Wilson asks
US to do in his message-pledge our
selves on or before June % to save
constantly and to buy regularly gov
eminent securities. We shall then be
doing our part.

ice. To any such policy the war de-
partment is plainly opposed.
The extension of the draft to the
ages of eighteen and forty-five, as
proposed by Provost Marshal General
Crowder, would be a sweeping meas
ure, of which the effect cannot be ac-
curately forecast in the absence of re-
liable statistics. There can be no OBJ
lection to including men over thirty
one, but among them it cannot be ex-
pected that there will be found the
same proportion who are physically
sound, unmarried or without depend
ent relatives. Whether at the other
end the age limit should be placed as
low as eighteen may be debatable.
Considerable numbers of young men
under twenty-one have already enlist
ed in the army and navy and many
more are bound to follow them. But
the question whether men of that age
on the general average are mature
enough physically for active service
should be carefully considered by con-
gress.
By registering every six months all
who attain their majority the supply
of men for the army should be in
creased by possibly 100000 a year
By adding those between thirty-one
and forty-five large but unknown in
crement viii be secured.
Before going further with its plans,
it would be well for the war depart
ment to complete its estimates of the
number Of men between eighteen and
forty-fve who would be subject to
registration and the number who can
be proftably called for training in the
camps and cantonments New York

EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE

The New York Times recently said
editorially:
"No man or woman who has secured
a liberty bond is relieved from the
duty of buying war savings stamps.
To leave the stamps plan Of lending
money to the government to those Of
narrow means and to the young peo-
pie is to be careless of the cause of
America and her allies.
"Does the average man OF woman
who earns a substantial salary or
good wages have any idea of the sac
rifices made by the small investors in
war savings stamps to do their bit in
the war? 1t is often story of silent
heroism. If those in fairly easy cir
"lrstanoes efnu'ated the very poor
whose souls are filled with unyielding
resolution to do their share to win the
war, what a boom there would be in
the governments receipts from sales
Of war savings stamps"
Now is the time for everyone, no
matter what his station in life may
be, to make as great a sacrifice for
humanity as is made by the most hum
BILE of our citizens. Everyone on or
before June % should pledge himself
to save to the utmost of his ability
and to buy war savings stamps with
his savings. There should be an equal
ity of sacrifice.

PROFITEERING IN WAR HUS-
BANDS.

The prosecution by the war risk bu-
reau of women who have married two
or more soldiers to obtain their war
insurance discloses the existence of a
thriving n,w feminine industry. TAX
ing two solder husbands instead of
one of course doubles the wife's in
come during the war and likewise
doubles the expectation of round
sum of insurance money in case of
death or disability. Apparently The
honors in this form of plural-mar-
.iage profit-ering belong to the wonf-
n at Camp Mills who has married
four so diers.
Under The old pension system of
rewarding war service the matriino-
NAL eligibility of a soldier increased
with his years. The present system of
government insurance apparently puts
. premium on youth; there is now no
necessity Of waiting to become an
aged veterans bride and in due course
his widow in order to receive his pen
sion. This, to be sure, is taking mere
ly a cynical view of plural-soldier
1t may be that some worn
en- of exuberant affections find SOL
diers so irresistible that they are even
willing to commit bigamy not once but
rs often as necessary for their sake
and the sake of their pay and insur-
ance. In addition to the romance Of
the adventure, they multiply their
sources of support.
The revelation is a curious one Of
feminine duplicity. While soldiers
have been protected from the infu-
ences of open immortality, they have
become the prey of a peculiar form
of marriage exploitation for profit by
women, not only in iso-
lated cases but, according to officials
of the war risk bureau, Gin all sec

EXTENDING THE DRAFT.

Under the selective service act it
is easy to estimate approximately the
number of men today available for the
army. At the present rate Of prog
ress it is evident that the limit will
soon be reached unless the daft is
extended to ages not now authorized
by law. To go beyond class would
be to draw men from industrial occu-
pations necessary in the prosecution
of the war and throw upon the com
munity and the nation the burden of
supporting large numbers of depend
ents of this called for military serv-
