ENLIsTMENTs SUSPENDED.

Voluntary enlistment in the army
and navy has been suspended by
the government to prevent disrup-
ton of industry pending dispose
ton of the bill now before congress
proposing to extend the draft ages
to include all men between 1S and
45 years. The orders exclude civil
iaps from appointment to officers
training camps until further notice.
1t was explained that the view of
the government is that many of
the older men are indispensable in
their present occupations, but the
natural result of the debate on the
draft age question is certain to,
lead to a rush to the recruiting Of
fees. 1t is regarded as essential
that men greatly needed at home
should be prevented from rushing
into the army under mistaken
idea that they are certain to be
drafted anyhow and prefer to join
the service voluntarily.

BOY BABIES IN WAR.
Dame Natures Rule Broken Last
Week i'm Philadelphia. Births
in Winneshiek Run About
Even.

Philadelphia, April 1.-Philadel-
'phia may have been cheated last
week when forty of the seventy-four
babies born here proved to be girls.
The wise old stork has proved his
good sense in England, according to
a recent report here, and he'll do
the same for America. Boys hold the
stage in England. Lusty, bowling
men children, to fill the gaps caused
by the war, outnumbered the female
babies by 40,137 to 3S3,3S3 for the
year.
The report shows the highest pro-
portion of male births recorded in
the last fifty years and goes to bear
out the old tradition that nature
knows what she is about. Always
in the time of war, when lives of
men have been sacrificed in great
numbers, some undetermined power
has decreed male babies. Physicians
and scientists cannot agree on the
reasons for this sixth sense" and
so it has become a habit to praise
or blame the carrier stork or Dame
Nature.
English records also show a low
er mortality rate among infants and
young children. They are made OF
sterner stuff, for despite the advent
of women in industry, the babies
have thrived and grown strong.
Race suicide and the problems OF
repopulating the world which is
causing so much unrest in Germany,
confronted the German government
from the very outbreak of hostili-
ties. While England reports for
1916 showed the excess of births ov-
er deaths to be 277,303, this did not
include war fatalities. German sta
tistics for that year recorded l.
311,000 deaths from natural causes
as against 100000 births. In
Hungary figures for deaths mot in
action" were 42S,057, as against
333,551 births.
Work as a cure for suicide has
become recognized Since it has
been compulsory for every human
being in England to do his or her
bit" the suicide rate has fallen off
remarkably. Particularly is this no.
ticeable in men past middle age.
Work gives them an interest in life
which diverts them from personal
worries and also provides useful
work at a living wage.
1t is the lot of the spinster that
is hardest these days. With the an
Inual marriage rate of spinsters and
bachelors up in the thousands be-
J fore the war, revised conditions have
/ been hard on the cat and the parrot.
Figures of youthful women in mour-
ming are common now, and it is to
these youthful damsels that the

OUT AFTER LONG ILLNESS.
A. Il. Abbey Was About the City
Monday for First Time i'm
Twelve Weeks.

A. l.. Abbey was over town from
his home on the West Side Mon
day for the first time in twelve
weeks, having been confined to his
home by illness. We are pleased to
report that he is feeling fine now.
He is in his 18th year and he tells
us that he only wishes that he could
be over in France helping the boys.
Mr.. Abbey is veteran of the Civil
war, enlisting Aug. 15, 1862 in
Company A, Fifth Michigan Caval-
airy. He participated in number
of the principal battles of the war
and on June 16, 1864, was promot-
ed to the rank of first lieutenant
He was a soldier who never faltered
in the performance of his duty, and
his record was one of conspicuous
gallantry. Mr.. Abbey was a native
of Michigan and after being muster
ed out returned there for a short
time and in June 1865 came to De-
corah, where his home has since
been. He first engaged in farming
in Orleans township for a short
time, but his health would not per-
nit continuance, so he came to De-
corah, engaging in the insurance
| business, in which he was very sue
] cessful for 46 years, giving up the
business a few years ago. After a
very busy and active business life.
And today, as we stated above, he
wishes that he could be over in
France with our boys, so the spirit
of 1862 is still burning brightly,
and he would like to fight again
for liberty and right.

If his'heirs have had financial ex-
