About 100000 Tons Ship Losses In
War

About 100000 Tons Ship Losses In
Year.
London.-One of the most important
statements made to the country re-
Gently was the speech delivered in the
house of commons by Sir Eric Camp
bell Geddes, first lord of the admiralty.
He appeased the demand which has
become general recently that the coun-
try should be told the exact amount of
the shipping losses.
The worlds shipping, exclusive OF
enemy ships, was 100000 tons less at
the end of 1917 than it was at the be-
ginning of the war. This includes or
binary marine losses as well as those
due to enemy operations.
In the last II months the amount
of tonnage sunk was 100000 instead
of the 9,500,000 claimed by Germany.
The German report Of allied shipping
losses In January was an exaggeration
of 113 per cent, he said.
This is the result of q boat piracy
in war:
Total tonnage sunk. ....... 100000
Total tonnage built. ..... S,6OO,OOO
Net loss ............. 1,4oo,ooo

Will Call 10000 Men

Governors of all States:
The new national and state
ouotas will be announced as soon
as Conyress acts on pending legisla-
ii n.governing the appointment OF
.o1ota: In the meantime it will be
necessary to call anew increment OF
about 10000 men to be distributed
equally throughout the United
S: ates. The call for these men will
90 out latter in the day. In sever
FL cases this call will run over the
carrept quota of state and bcards
roon which it Is made but the ex-
ctss will be credited in the new
yaota of each state or board effect
Ell as we'll as other cases due to
special call.
The situation arising from the
scarcity of farm labor, demands
that the call to the colors of men,
actively, completely and assidous-
l. engaged in the planting or cult
walton Of crops and who are in
Glass |, and within the new qpota,
should be deferred until the end OF
the new quota. Please instruct
YOUR local boards, therefore, that
the President directs that in filling
this emergency they shall pass the
order numbers of such men and
dzfcr their class for the present. IT
lnust be borne in mind that this
s,ept is taken solely in the need Of
The nation and not for the benefit
of any Individual. Therefore
while boards should consider 1t q
grave duty to exercise this poWei
70 conserve and augment the
agricultural production, they shoulc
observe closely the conduct OF
those deferred and Immediately
upon becoming convinced that any
person so deferred is not giving bis
entire time and earnest attention
10 agricultural duty or that ne is
triA:ng with the deferment granted
!,im by the board should forthwith
c.ll him to the colsrs. All citizens
sYould assist in ma king this effec-
tive and in bringing to the atten-

German Kultur Not
A New Thing

"Evey village they have passed
through has been the victim of
what is only organized pillage.
Every city has been practically
sacked, ransacked on system; its
citizens plundered, its civil officials
errorized, imprisoned, outraged,
or killed. The cival populations
have been, contrary to the usaged
of modern warfare, forced to serve
the invading armies, brutally put
10 death, reduced to wholesale
starvation, and desolation. Vast
tracts of the richest and most in
dustrious districts of Europe have
been deliberately stripped and
plunged into famine, solely in
order that the invaders might make
war cheaply. Irregular troops,
contrary to all the practice of war,
have been Systematically murdered
and civil populations indiscrimi-
nately massacred, solely to spread
terror. A regular system of in
genious terrorism has been directed
agaisnt civilians, as horrible as any
thing in the history of civil ard or
religious wars. Large and popu-
lous cities have been, not once but
twenty, thirty, forty times bonn
barded and burnt, and the women
and children in them wantonly
slaughtered, with the sole object
of inaictiug. suffering. All this has
been done not in license or passion,
but by the calculating ferocity OF
scientific soldiers"
The above was not written,
though it might have been, yester-
day, last week, last month, or last
year. 1t appeared in the English
Fortinightly Review. February,
1871, shortly before the surrender
of Paris. Frederick Harrison, the
writer, is still alive. Its statements
were true then, are true noW.Julius
Caesar in his Commentaries mar
rates events which show that even
before the time of Christ the Ger
mans demonstrated the possession
of all the rudiments of their mod
ern "kultur." 1t is no new thing;
and hundreds of thousands of men
will have died in vain in this war if
this sinister thing is not absolutely
and utterly exterminated forever
by the forces of civilization array
ed against it.-Richmond Yirginian
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1918-03-29
Spending the Legacy

President Wilson has signed the
Daylight Saving Bill and it is now
law. In short time it will 60
into effect all through the United
States. EVERYBODY will have an extra
hour of daylight and for a while
everybody will notice the change.
But habits are quickly formed and
it will not be long before 1T will
seem as natural to rise and get to
work an hour earlier as it was I'M
der the old condition.
There are some advantages OF
the Daylight Saving Bill that will
come about automatically. But
as far as the Individual is concern
ed it is largely personal question
whether he gets the full benefit of
the chance. The added hour of
daylight is in most cases merely an
opportunity, and, like all other OPP
portunities may be either seized
or neglected. There will be, in
patrlcular, a cnance lOr more re-
creation of all sorts in the open air,
which means a great improvement
of health and spirits during the
summer months. 1t would be
pity, indeed, to let it 60 by.
The expectant heir of the rich
and aged uncle generally spends
much time devising plans for the
g., employment of the legacy. The
little gift of an extra hour of day
light which old Father Time, after
much persuasion, has finally con-
scented to make is equally worth a
serious consideration. 1t may be
dissipated like a legacy, but 1t
couldn't be.-Ex.
