AL AN[ERICANS.

Whatever else war shall accom-
plish in behalf of civilization, 1t Is
creating national feeling among
the people of the United States
that should make them infinitely
stronger and filter to meet the
obligations of the future; and the
life at home, in the future, will be
pleasanter and be robbed of some
of its sharp corners by the COM
mingling of the men of the army.
Creeds, they tell us at the front,
are forgotten in the common SER
vice of the Father of all, and the
Americans of foreign blood are
animated by the same high spirit
that possesses the native-born.
Little stories from the war, like
this, tell US of the conditions: A
Catholic priest and Presbyterian
clergyman, bunking together,
were shelled out of their quarter,
and some wit suggested the IN
eOngruity of their ereeds.

One advantage Of war is that
it eOmpels men to develop. Few
men are self-starters, capable OF
pushing themselves to the limit
for an indefinite time. Dynamic
bosses in peace time and the vital
necessities Of war bring out Of
these men the possibilities which
but for this forcing would never
develop. A great vision or a
great ambition furnishes the driv-
ing force in many men, but in war
time, al men are under the same
pressure, stimulated. driven, COM
PEELED 10 bring up every ounce Of
reserve and latent ability 10 pre-
serve their lives. War has this,

STRIKING SHIPRUHpERs.

Fowls are ON rations in Great
Britain. But it isn't any old kind
of fowl that qualities at that.
To deserve the food allowances
fixed by government the hen must
show a record. If she delivers her
quota of eggs she stays ON the pay
roll-or grain roll but woe TO the
Stacker. Her case is even harder
than that of Israel in the Egyp-
tian brickfields; if she fails to
provide meals she becomes one.
We do not learn that the same
principle is applied in England to
human slaekers, but it would be
good rule to follow, both here and
there. This is not a plea for can
of course. Even eanni-
balls are understood to cook their
enemies. not their unproduetive
friends.
But there is virtue in the recent
~ expressed demand that ship
yard workers be compelled to put
in six days week. Their wages
are so high that many of them re-
fuse to work more than four, and
if these leisurely exquisites are
given the option of working a
complete week or going to the 4
trenches, they may forget the 4
ure of the movies. Sitting in pie
-ure theatres and cheering the !
flag displayed ON films
5 a poor substitute for the work
hat is needed to keep that flag
lying. ShipbuilderS can hardly
lain to be in a necessary oecupa-
ion If they are generally unoecu-
lied.
Give them rifles-not exemp-
ion. The Is to 45 draft law will
Don find men to fill their places. #
