MANY OF the Hearst editorials have
been tainted with Germanism. and
many patriotic communities in the
New York section have put the Hearst

with men who. while American .cli'

creased army coming. the most drastic
instructions ever issued in this country
will reach all Community Lcbor Boards
in West Virginia today instructing them
to prepare and publish In every city IN
the country lists Of non-essential posi-
lions now held BY men that could be
filled By women.
These instructions arc coming 10 the
Community Lebor Boards from Nathan
\. Smyth. Assistant Director General OF
the United States Employment service.
The result OF this drastic action will
be that men failing or refusing 10 get
out Of such positions Of their own ac-
cord and take up essential work. will be
looked upon as slackers.
The order is intended to force the
hand Of boch non-cSSential labor and

but there is no method known 10 man
by which VIC can restore human life
when that has been taken.
We protested vigorously to Germany

destroyed the lives Of our people and
Germany agreed Ia desist. Again We
were hopeful that VIC would b. able 10
get through without being engaged IN

the German imperial government that
they would again resume their Subma-

of our people without warning.
There WAS no other course Loft 70 NJ
but to defend the lives Of our people.
And hat We were terribly in earnest IN
this course has been disclosed by the
spontanicty Of the American spirit 10

which was thrust upon us.
Especially has this been evidenced IN
the spirit Of sacrifice. Yet not all the
sacrifices Of those at home combined
ever can equal the supreme sacrifice or
