From the President

The success of the selective SER
vice system has been largely, due
to the reliance that has been placed
on the cooperation of all citizens
in Its execution. In the registra-
ton, the election officers of the
several states were called upon to
perform a specific task and they
performed it unanimously and ef-
fciently. Latterly, have had oc-
casions to call the lawyers and
physicians of the country to spe-
ciac duties and they have respond
ed in solid rank. The time has
now come when the teachers of
the country can perform a very
necessary task and | have no
doubt but that they will respond
in the same manner.
The process of classification of
all men within the field of selec-
ton is proceeding rapidly. 1t be-
comes necessary to carry forward
with this process, the making of
very complete index which will
accurately locate any specially
qualified man among the ten mil
lions on our enrolment list. The
local boards are so overburdened
with the work of classification that
this task cannot be put upon them,
and yet the necessity of the nation
requires that it be performed with
the greatest possible dispatch and
accuracy. The duty can be per-
formed best by the teachers of the
various communities. Under au-
thority conferred upon me by the
service law, | therefore
call upon all teachers to present
themselves to the local boards hav-
ing jurisdiction over the areas in
which they reside, for the purpose
of examining the questionaires and
filling out the index cards in &C
cordance with more specific in
structions issued by the provost
marshal general.

Association will meet in Hunting

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY /, 1918
WOODROW WILSON

mere can no longer be any
doubt about it. Woodrow Wilson
is today the acknowledged leader
of the forces of democracy en-
gagged in the overthrow Of absolut-
ism, and the great champion of
liberalism on earth. This is not SO
much because he is the spokesman
of the most powerful republic of
the world. Nor IS it because our
brave allies are far spent and in
dire need of our support.
Our president stands today as
the worlds foremost democrat and
statesman because he articulates
the very conscience of the Ameri-
can people and because the Ameri-
can people are now bending their
might solely to the establishment
of the great moral principles of
liberty and justice for all nations,
friend and foe alike.
The moment Germany invaded
Belgium the allies cause became
the just cause, and right heroically
have they maintained it from that
day to this. Their courage and
sacrifice have saved the day for us
no less than for themselves. But
victory tarried, and when Russia
collapsed the allies might have been
forced into an unfavorable peace
had not the United States entered
the breach. That made the United
States the umpire Of the destinies of
the world. Even then a lesser man
might have failed. But the Amer
lean "schoolmaster," the college
president who was kicked upstairs
into politics, was man enough to
rise to the greatness of the occas-
Jon. 1t was Woodrow Wilson who
first announced that the United
States wanted no territories or in
IDENTITIES. Europe marveled. 1t
was Woodrow Wilson who first de-
tailed the plan for the establish
.ment after the war of a league of
free nations to enforce peace. Eu-
rope concurred. 1t was Woodrow
Wilson who first drove the wedge
in between the Hohenzollerns and
the German people. That made
democracy one of the aims of the
war. And now it is Woodrow
Wilson who, hand in hand with
Lloyd George, lays down the ex-
plicit and memorable terms of a
just and lasting peace. This purges
the allied cause of whatever selfish
aims still chung to it, 1t puts the
guilt squarely upon Germany for
the further shedding of blood.
And, beyond all, it raises the war
from a righteous to a holy war.
No wonder autocracy and priv
ilege curse him. No wonder the
common people rally to his ban
ner. Where the career of Wood
row Wilson to end today his fame
is imperishable. Our president
will rank in the hearts of his fell
low countrymen with Washington
and Lincoln. The Independent.

come exceedingly abundant and de-
structive. Rats migrate from places
where food is scarce to places where
it is plentiful. Abundant food In the
new locality causes abnormal repro
duction, the effect of which in a short
time is that of sudden invasion by
a vast horde of rats.
Other movements of rats are local
and seasonal in occurrence. An exo-
dus takes place every spring from
cities and villages to river banks and
farmsteads in the surrounding coun-
try. and Is followed by a return NIL

Now Furnishes Beef and Milk for
10000 People in the
Canal Zone.
DONE BY DITCH DIGGERs
Men Who Are Now Running Canal at
Time When Its Importance In Win
ming War Is Vital and
Imperative.

Chrlstobal, G. Z.-It may safely be
said that nowhere else In the world
except in the Canal Zone could have
developed great pasturnge area out
Of primeval jungle and put the cattle
on 1t to support a population Of 150,-
600 people with beef and milk in
years time.
But this Is what the men who dug
the canal and mad 1t running ahead Of
schedule time have done. Wars
threat of famine has no terrors for
them. It Is also literally true that
this industrial feat has been accom-
plished by the real ditch dlggers, the
men who were the rank and file of a
few years ago, but who are now run
ming the canal Mt a time when Its I'm
portance In winnir~ the war is so VI
tnl and Imperative. The gunpowder
material for the allies passes through
the canal. and 1t may win the war
before the great atmospheric nj
trogen plants get into operation in the
United States.
Economical independence.
To make the force of men engaged
In the maintenance, opeTutiou anu ue-
fense of the canal economically
independent of outside sources of food
supply to the greatest possible extent,
has become the fixed policy here, and
the progress of the war daily vindi-
Gates its wisdom. There are hundreds
of thousands of idle acres near the
canal and hundreds of thousands of
idle or comparatively Idle men In ad-
Joining countries. and the use of both
these unemployed assets is self-evident-
iy desirable.
Pineapples and sugar from Hawaii
constantly pass the canal, when cane
and pines both grow freely and lux
uriantly here: oranges are imported
from California and Florida; even
fish from Europe sometimes, when
Panama's waters abound In excellent
red snapper and Spanish mackerel. 1t
is n curious comment on Industry that

the recruiting authorities are working
night and day.
