While it is admitted that if the accu-
sations are sustained the men may
suffer the extreme penalty Of death,
it is also suggested by the judge ad-
vocate that the men may be merely
informed or discharged from the army.
How much longer is the army ad-
ministration to regard this war as a
social diversion? How much longer
are we going to reward traitors mere

demands Of military service? How

that all traitors and spies

our army were lined up against a wall
and shot. This is not said in hatred
or intolerance. Human life is a pre-
cious thing. And there is the point.
The lives of our honest and loyal
fighting men are precious. And when
it m to an issue between the lives
of our loyal fighters and the lives of
traitors, any hesitation on the part OF
the authorities to demand the latter
is a crime against the men who are
going into the field to defend the ma
ton.
In the name of humanity let US
spare life. Then, in the name of hui
mainly also, let US extirpate the thing
that menaces those lives which are
most precious at the present moment
to this nation and all it's people and
ali their ~posterity.

O N BE A Err.

While the majority of the good wo-
men of Valley county are doing their
share of Red Cross work, and many
of them are doing more than their
share, the fact remains that we still
have altogether too many "slackers"
who are doing practically nothing to
aid in the work.
1t is true that in some cases the wo-
men have altogether too much to do
in their own homes and are thus un-
able to devote their time to Red
Cross work. But it is also true that
a great many have little to do, have
a great deal of spare time, and de-
vote not one iota of it to the cause.
We wonder if these slackers realize
that in failing to aid in Red Cross
work that they are lending aid and
comfort to the German war lords?
We wonder how they are going to feel
should the reports of the great battle
commence to come in this spring and
the report is made general that thous-
ands of our boys are dying for lack of
suitable dressings and other materials
which the Red Cross furnishes? We
wonder if they realize that their fail
ure to do a share of this work may
be the indirect cause of the death of
one of the noble boys that Valley
county has already sent across the
waters to help fight for freedom and
democracy in var torn, grief stricken
France?
Are they going to sit idly at home
and "twiddle" their thumbs while the
young manhood of America is pour
ing out it's life blood or the battle
fields of Europe in order that
they, sitting peacefully at home
may be spared the horrors and out
RACES that were visited upon the in
nocent women and girls of France and
Belgium?
Do you realize that if the Hun ma
chine succeeds as there. is a chance
for it to do, in smashing the west
ern front in France this spring, that
the western battle front may be trans
ferred to the Atlantic coast of the
United States?
It is up to the women and girls of
the United State to HELP the boys
"over there" Every garment turned
into the Red Cross may be the means
of saving a life.

PRAYER OF OUR NATION.

Somewhere, on foreign borders,
Somewhere, beyond our shores,
Blood of our blood hears orders;
Freedom our aid implores:
God of our fathers hear us
Our sons appeal to Thee.
Grant Thou our prayer and cheer us.
Make Thou all nations free:
Through Thee our cause is strength
ened,
Liberty giving the world;
Grant Thou that peace may be length
ened,
Wars banners always be furled:
God grant the year that is dawning
May see all war-strife through:
Liberty, love, peace returning,
Under the Red, White and Blue.

ance of the city's welfare. No dice

DUNCAN Campbell
FOR SCHOOL BOARD
His Appointment to Succeed
Fred Partridge is Being
Urged by Friends.

The friends of Duncan J. Camp
bell. sales manager of the Dodge
Manufacturing company, are bring
ing his name prominently before the
public as successor to Fred Part
ridge as a member of. the school
board. Mr.. Partridge is leaving the
city at the end of the month.
The appointment rests with May
or Gaylor. but as Mr.. Campbell is a
prominent democrat and as the ap-
po.ntees of the mayor have almost
without exception belonged to the
opposite political party, Mr.. Camp
bells friends realize they will have
TO put up some fight if they wish
TO see their choice appointed.
Asked by the News-Times if he
would accept the position if offered
him. Mr.. Campbell said: Il would
deeply appreciate the honor if my
friends see fit to bring my name
forward. but I viii make no per-
sonal effort towards obtaining the
appointment"
The board consists of three mem
bers. Harvey w. Jones, chairman:
George Shobe and Mr.. Partridge.
Should Mr.. Campbell be named
by the mayor, the appointment
would be a splendid one. Mr.. Camp
bell is one of the city's most popu-
lar and enlightened men, and as a
member of the school board would
undoubtedly lend of his knowledge
towards the carrying out of neces-
sary reforms for the betterment Of
education in Mishawaka

FUEL FAMINE
CRISIS IS NOT
YET REACHED
Federal Administrator De-
CIareS Situation May Grow
Worse Within Next
Sixty Days.

WASHINGTON. Jan. L. - Even
some plants making munitions and
other war supplies may have to cur
tail fuel consumption during the
next so days, Fuel Administrator
Garfield said Friday night in a state
ment assuring the public that every
effort would be made TO distribute
the available supply of coal where
most needed and that no Partially
would be shown any section.
Part of the IS million tons short
age of the past year has been made
up, Dr.. Garfield said, but there still
is a large deficiency and il will De
felt chiefly this month and next
P. B. Noyes, of the fuel admins
tration. left tonight for New York
to discuss the situation there with
local officials and to take up with
manufacturers of the less essential
products the question of reduction
in consumption.
No Relief for 90 DAYS.
There can be no possible general
relief for at least 60 days and with
in that time the situation may grow
much worse than il is now, accord
ing to DR.. Garfield.
Everyone must conserve and cur
tail the use of coal" he declared
while war plants and public utih-
ties must be favored among indus
tries, it is likely that they too will
pinch. 1t is distressing to be oblig-
ed to witness the hardships the peo-
pie are undergoing. Demands are
flooding the fuel administration
from municipalities, but no locality
can be shown preference and coal
will be distributed equitably, with
no favors shown. The present sit
uation is due almost wholly TO rail
road congestion"
Voluntary curtailment of the coal
requirements of the less essential in
dUstries is working well, DIR. Gar
field said, and every industry asked
to reduce it's use of coal has shown
a Willingness to cooperate. The vol
untary plan would work better than
an enforced curtailment, he added
because each industry would watch
it's own members to see that they
were carrying out their agreement
Industries Cooperate.
Most of the industries asked TO re,
duce their coal consumption will ac-
complish it by shutting down entire
ly for one day leach week. as the
paper board makers already have
been ordered to do. Some industries,
however, cannot shut down easily
for a day and these will be asked
to cease operations for as long as a
month later on in the year. 1t was
suggested that the glass industry
might be one Of these. Paper board
manufacturers will start shutting
down one day in the week tomor-
row and il is estimated the coal saw
ing for the day will amount to about
5000 tons.
Explaining his recent order giving
state fuel administrations authority
TO close industries TO supply house
holders with coal, DR.. Garfield said
this power would be permitted to be
used only in emergencies and that
the fuel administration would de
eide the matter of reducing coal to
industries when a general policy
was involved. State fuel admins
traitors, he explained, could close
industries, theaters and other estab-
lishments, though, if necessary to
tide over any emergency.
