We have more than 100000 in train
ing.
We have perhaps 100000 men en-
gagged In shipbuilding.
War Industries Great.
Many of our Industrial establish
ments are engaged in war work.
Nearly so per cent of the steel We
are making is going today into war
material.
OF the 100000 in France a goodly
number will remain until peace is
signed or. IL many of those there now
return. they will be replaced in part
by men from this side.
When peace Is signed the army will
be reduced. but not to the size it
was before the war. The navy will
be kept up to at least three-ffths
of its present personnel Shipbuill-
ing will continue as an established
industry. not OF its present size or
hurried production, but probably to
one-half of its present volume. for
II will be years before the ship needs
of the world are met. many OF the
craft now in service being fit only
for the scrap heap.
The commerce of the seas is going
to expand greatly. Before the war
the ocean tonnage was 5o.cooI00 To-
day it is approximately u 900 Oco
Probably 100000 tons OF today's
ships will be scrapped. The world
will need 6oO0oo0O tons or more of
shipping.
Many Women Working.

worker too well to be retired simply
because she is a woman.
The cost of living will not be so
high. But everything will be con-
siderably higher than before this
world conflict. Wages will come down
in some lines. but never will be down
to what they were before the war.
The returning soldier will be a bet
ter worker than before he entered
the army. The army has been a
wonderful school. the most wonderful
in the world. 1t has raised the stand

the army. Most of our soldiers have
learned more in the army than they
did in school.
America Wen Prepared.
America is better situated to meet
after-the-war needs industrially
than any other nation.
In Great Britain 100000 women
out of the $500. 900 over the age of
81 are in industrial employment.
The bulk of them must remain, for
the British have sacrificed much of
their man power to win the war and
they have done il with a resolute-
ness that challenges the admira-
tion of the world.
France has made even greater
sacrifice of men in proportion TO
her population.
The losses of Germany are colos-
sal.
So too of Austria-Hungary.
The other great nations have
thrown practically their entire man
power into the war. America has
put only fraction of its human ma

President Wilson be authorized to
call to the colors all men of draft
age who can be equipped and train
ed. The committee promptly and
unanimously, voted the authority. in
to the army appropriation bill about
to be reported to the house.
Under existing law power is given
to draft 100000 fighting men, in
addition to special units. This limit
soon will be reached with men con-
stantly going into camp to replace
those sailing for France as fast as
ships can be provided to take them
! With the law changed as the Presi-
dent desired, the man power of the
country will be drawn upon for
whatever force may be necessary to
win the war.
General Crowder's new regulation
is far reaching in scope and touches
not only habitual idlers. but also re-
quires that draft registrants now in
occupations held to be non-useful
seek new jobs or take places in the
army. Clerks in stores, walters,
bartenders, employees at places of
amusement, passenger elevator men
and other employees around hotels.
clubs and business buildings. as well
as gamblers, fortune tellers and race
track and bucket shop attendants,
all fall among those classes as non
"sefully engaged. Enforcement of
the rule is expected to add some men
to the army and do a more import
ant service in improving the labor
situation in essential industries.

ker. completed the army bill. with
provision OF pay of 100000 men

fore the house carrying total Of

tions. and authorization for con-
tracts amounting to S2.464,416,-
600 more.
Mr. Baker told the committee in

LATERAL MARRIAGE PLAN
OF GERMANY Is WORSE
THAN HAREM FOR
WOMEN.
(By wINONA wUC0X.o

Women who are alive to history
in the making perceive horrld
threat to the evolution OF their sex
in recent social developments in Ger
many.
The Prussian war party Is quietly
favoring polygamy as a means OF re-
establishing the race. The plan is
not new in Germany. Before the
war. Berlin's illegitimacy birth rate
shocked the centers OF lesser kultur.
Until recently, the American wo-
man has discussed such well known
facts with disgust rather than ex-
element. But now the Prussian, by
forcing a new sex slavery upon his
own women. is degrading the wo-
manhood OF the world, and is thrust
ing upon women everywhere spe-
cial sex struggle.
A German pamphlet, as condensed
by an English authority. says that
the kaiser's wise men are advising
secondary or lateral marriages "as
a religion, as a state policy, as a
military measure" to rebuild Prus-
sian armies-for a war after this
war.
Under the scheme outlined a mar
ried man may legally contract sec
ondary or lateral marriages with
spinsters and his legal wife Is ad-
monished to tolerate the same. The

conservation and preservation of all
grains made in this county. the food

Every grain of wheat Is badly

it to be his patriotic duty to save all
the grain.
We have called a meeting OF the
county threshing committee for
