SEEN ON THE SIDE
By HENRY EDWARD WARNER
SuppesinK.


Surprising all tho world were made
OF pies and cakes and pleasant things,
And everywhere we heard tho sound
or nuttering angel wings:
SupposinE everything were good
And never anything was wrong, :.
And seas were always smooth. and we'd
No trials to take along.
Surprising We awoke at dawn
With pleasant thoughts and happy dreams,
And never heard thunderstotm-
Just singing Of the streams
Suppose there we're rugged peaks
In LIES experience. at all
No carrion birds to shrek. but Just
The orioles plaintive call
Suppose. in short. that life were just
A level plain OF pleasant days,
No chasms deep. peaks to climb,
But Just indulgent ways;
Suppose. when we desired a thing,
We simply wished, and 1t was ours
We spent our time in strollins through
LIES thornless. fragrant bowers.
Surprising all this came to pass
Well I. for one. would rather be
Battling the heights of some grim rock
Or on stormy sea
For what life gives of happiness
Comes from it's many contrasts; so
The thorniest rose the sweetest Is
or oil the flowers that grow.

Draft Status of Married Men


THE country was mildly surprised when the
! Secretary OF War about a week ago pro-
posed in public interview that all married
men OF draft age be automatically placed in
a deferred list Such suggestion seemed
rather strange in the light of past rulings to
the effect that marriage involving DEEPEN
dency alone entitled men between the ages
OF twenty-one and thirty-one to deferred
position in the draft list. Moreover, such a
regulation obviously was direct invitation
TO the draft dodgers to rush at once to the
marriage license bureau, an invitation which
a great many slackers have awaited them
selves OF within the past ten days, as every
license clerk we'll knows.
1t is not astonishing, therefore, that Mr..
Baker, while appearing before the House
Military Affairs Committee, should modify
the views expressed in his original interview
He said that these views as originally ex-
pressed had been nisinterpreted glance
at the authorized statement, however die
tated to Mr.. Bakers own stenographer and
given out by his own publicity preventative
shows that it is not easy to have misinter-
preted the announcement which he made in
this official fashion. He would have been
acting with more frankness if, in his second
utterance upon the subject he had simply
stated that he had reconSdered the matter
and has found good cause for changing his
position regarding it.
At all events, Mr.. Baker now declares that
the marriage state will not automatically
place man of draft age in the deferred
class. 1t must be shown by such man that
ne is actually supporting a family and that
he is engaged in some needful occupation.
Whether or not support in the view of the
war Department will mean literal depen-
dency is a question yet to be answered.
Many married men support families who
could not honestly claim that these families
were dependent upon the daily earnings Of
the registrant. Those men who have de-
pendents of this sort are even now subject
&c deferred classification, which would indi-
cate that Mr.. Baker proposes to make some
other condition than literal dependency the
basis OF future regulations.
In all his discussions Of this subject Mr.
Baker has seemed to have in mind those
families where there are children. He has
said that fathers should not be taken from
their families until other classes are ex-
hausted. He has observed that mothers need
the assistance of their husbands in such
cases, to aid in rearing the children whether
or not such families have means that they
might live on for time. And to use his
own words, he is opposed for the present of
the wholesale breaking up of families"
1t would SEEM therefore. that the new
regulations as they apply to the marriage
state. might deal more or less with the matter
of children. 1t is quite certain that the
secretary himself is thinking along these
lines, and unless the militarists who advise
him take contrary view, he will probably
draft these regulations with the matter OF
children, rather than of dependency, in mind.

The statement OF Senator j. Ham Lewis

m1er Georges Clemenceau has EXPRESSED the

complete victory over the enemy the present

The French Premier keeps in close toucb
with the military as well as the political
situation, and he is not man who arrives
at hasty conclusions Recent successes Of
the allies support the conclusion that the
morale Of the enemy forces is steadily de-
Ginning. Moreover the heavy losses he has
sustained in recent lighting has reduced his
strength below the point where he can afford
to undertake renewal Of the offensive which
was SO auspiciously launched in the early
spring. Not only has the numerical su
periority that he had at the beginning of the
campaign already been overcome by new ac-
cessions OF allied strength from America but
the disparity in favor OF the allies is steadily
increasing. The initiative has been COM
Epletely wrested from him, with no hope of his
being able to regain it,. Under these adverse

fuller provision for Juvenile delinquency in both
sexes. The opinion is expressed that this rather
shocking showing is due to war conditions In
the FIRST place. n large number of mothers who
used to attend to their families have taken
positions as wage carners. and the boys and
girls run wild. That means that they often fall
by the wnySide. In the second place, large
bcrs OF the children have themselves got jobs.
Labor market cccentricties have swelled wages
paid to youngsters. Some children of thirteen
or fourteen are getting much fun grown

Four Million Men in France

/ is difficult TO visualize so enormous an
undertaking as that outlined before Con-
gress by General March, chief of staff of the
army. He has informed the legislators and
through them the country. that the United
States not only proposes TO raise a great
army or 100000 men, but it proposes to
put at least 100000 of them in Europe by
June and an additional million there before
the summer Of 1919 comes TO an end. Moth
ing in the history OF war or in the history of
the world parallels the vastness of this enter
prise and when the historian of this titanic
conflict tells the story Of it, he will recognize
in Americas effort the mind. the hand and
the force only to be found in the giant of
the ages.
When it was originally proposed to send
a million American soldiers to Europe this
country gasped; the allies doubted and our
enemy sneered. Few people on either con-
tinent believed it would be possible without
sacrifice of life and treasure which would
De next TO suicidal. 1t was realized that the
German submarine fleets would infest the
seas; that all supplies must be sent from
home through the same perilous lanes. and
that with the shipping in hand as well as
that in prospect it was doubtful if the thing
could be done.
But it has been done and better. There
are now nearly 100000 American soldiers
can training camps, fully armed and fully
equipped to embark for Europe And as soon
as these men move out of the environments
other thousands will move in. The 100000
| Americans will be landed in Europe on

| stance the war ends ahead Of time The
