mediate pace with them. Back in April it was supposed we would merely send our war ships over to chase submarines A few advanced people were urging the dispatch of small body of troops. It was not ask ed that a large body of men be sent.
 The idea of even those more advanced thinkers was that small body of troops, even If it was only a division, would have a moral effect in heartening the French, but no serious cooperation from us on land was expected at that time Naturally the war department took up it's problems in a thorough-going way, with the feeling that
 hcrc was time to make careful tests of material and get the really best equipment.
 Then in June, Gen. Joffre and the Eng fish commissioners came over and Joffre first urged the sending of large army. It took time to convert our people to that point of view. It was fully July before it was realized that we must participate in land fighting on a gigantic scale Prepara- tious for such am enterprise would not pre- yiously have been sustained by congress or the country.
 What has been done in preparing an enormous expedition to France is then only six months work When the stupcndous nature of the task is realized, including the building of railroad docks, warehouses; and complete army equipment in France, it looks like big six months piece of work The first confusion has passed, now we can have faith that even greater things will be seen in the next six months-Gaines- vile (Fla) Sun.

ApPoRTIONING LABOR


 It took the world war, and especially our entrance into it, to spread the knowl edge that the United States might be asked for more than it could supply. that lah" might be in such demand that ,to satisfy the requirements in one quarter, others would have to make sacrifice of their man power It was am American characteristic to talk of our Hmitlcss resources, our abil. itv. never yet taxed to its utmost power, to meet any demands made on us.
 Only now. after ten months of war is it becoming generally recognized that therC is limit to our ability to manufacture goods and that this limit is being approach ed and must be reached unless labor, neccs- sry for the production of war materials shall be diverted from the fabrication oi less essential commodities.
 IL is necessary that employers of labor recognize this especially, for the point must be reached where employers will be called ou to release labor from nonessential industries that it may do it's part in the necessary work of war production; to re lease 1t voluntarily and with full apprccia- tiou of the need of the measure, let us hope but to release it even if the Government bc compelled to limit production by arbi. trary restrictions and so render available for it's needs the labor it had been deprived of.
 Meantime, employers should encourage thc enlistment of their men in the ship building army which the Government is creating and i'm which labor may volunteer with the assurance that it will not be called away from it's pcacc-timc duties until nee. cssity requires. The building of ships is of importance scarcely surpassed by that of creating our army. and the men who enlis' to make this building a success are per forming duty as patriotic as the man whC dous uniform and shoulders a gun.
 The United States can exert its full power against Germany only when each individual citizen recognizes his duty and performs it. It is the duty of business now to forget its personal interests for the time heinz for the benefit of the whole nation Business as Usual" has come to be rec oguizcd as a slogan as miustifable as it was impossible of fulflmcnt. We cannot have Business as Usual" while the war is in progress, and We should not have it.
 Amy attempt to continue business along the lines of pcace-timcs success is wrong. no matter by what name it may be called The phrase "On with Business" has been suggested now as a successor to Business as usual" those who propose it acknowl- cdgug the mworthinesS of the earlier slogan. It is a distinction with scarcely a difference. Business has become a second ary consideration, and the sooner this is generally recognized the better for the United States and her allies The frs. task of this country is to make war, and tC make war successfully with every bit of speed that can be coupled with success That is the business of the entire country And only when every possible measure for the successful accomplishment of this task has been taken should thought be given to the ordinary business of the ma tion.-The Amalist

 On the extreme other hand, is the modest and highly inflammable pa- triot who wears the same collar half a lifetime, cleans it with a sponge whenever no one is looking and does his bit by violating the fire laws and the law of self preservation. Well he knows that by merely becoming hot under the collar he may be blown into eternity, but in the main these heroes Of haberdashery feel compen- sated by their ability to look the whole world and the potatoes therein directly in the eye.

 So much has been written and told of the suffering of the soldiers in the trenches that there is associated with the word a grim sort of terror.
 Many have had relatives and friends called in the draft, and they will soon join their comrades in war in the trenches in France.
 To such people it should be encour- aging to learn that the dangers of sick ness and disease have been greatly overestinated.
 An eminent Boston statistician, ac- cording to the Scientific American, has made a close personal investigation of conditions from several important points of vantage in Europe and has published a statement of facts that will do much to relieve those who have feared the consequence of service in the trenches.

A CREED FOR EVERY TRUE
AMERICAN

The following "creed" was awarded
a prize of $1,000, offered by the city
of Baltimore in a National Citizens
Greed Contest" 1t was written by
William Tyler Page, of Friendship
Heights, Md, near Washington, des-
cendant of President John Tyler and
of Carter Braxton, one of the signers
of the Declaration of independence.
1t reads:
believe in the United States of
America as a government of the
people, by the people. for the
people; whose just powers are de-
rived from the consent of the gov
erned; a democracy in a republic;
a sovereign nation of many sOver-
eign states; a perfect union, one
and inseperable; established upon
those principles of freedom, equal
ity, justice and humanity for which
American patriots sacrificed their
lives and fortunes.
| therefore believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
its constitution; to obey its laws;
to respect its flag and to defend it
against all enemies.
