Fight Propaganda Against Christmas Gifts
 An Editorial In The Pittsburg Leader)

The supreme duty of every loyal American is to devote every faculty of mind and body towards winning the war.
 America must and shall be victorious.
 To this.end there must be a rational conservation of all resources.
 The army and navy must be main- tained and sustained.
 There must be superabundance of ammunition.
 All those things a soldier can eat and wear at the front must be saved by everybody.
 The next duty is to keep the home fires burning
 The people at home must live.
 To live they must eat.
 They must be clothed, too.
 And they should also continue in those paths of life which environment and custom have created
 There is no man in this country suf- ficiently wise to say specifically what is essential and what is non- essential to human life
 There have leaped into prominence certain individuals who impudently presume to have the wisdom and the knowledge to dictate what the people shall eat and wear.
 Their chief delight seems to consist in making war unnecessarily burden some to the nation.
 Many good orders on food conserva- tion have been issued.
 But just as many silly proclamations have been made on what men and wo- men shall eat and what they shall wear.
 The seriousness of the war was not fully realized at the beginning.
 This gave opportunity for numerous incompetents itching for notoriety. to force themselves into positions for which they had no capacity and no training.
 brained men would shudder. these vain persons have usurped an authority never contemplated.
 They have made petty tyrants of themselves.
 Their antics would be ludicrous if the results were not so distressing and disastrous.
 The worst feature of this oppression is that it does not emanate from the peoples representatives in congress.
 Nor does it come from the president of the United States.
 Nor from any cabinet officer.
 Nor from any person responsibly connected with the United States.
 The fellow who doesn't know" is truly riding roughshod over the people.
 But he is riding to a fall
 There is such thing as real con- servation
 There is such a thing as sane resu- laton of conditions during war times. But an arbitrary. ill-judged and en- tirely foolish dictatorship is as un- necessary as it is un-American.
 As an instance, the o-called Council of National Defense is stretching it's arms so far forward into the future as to put ban on the exchange of pres ents next Christmas.
 Upon what meat have these. our caesars, fed that they have grown so great?"
 If Germany were plotting to break down American industries, no better plan this unreasoning scheme of the Council of Defense.
 If the war is to be won, the army at home must do it's share.
 Not by doing without things, but by creating things
 Production means preservation.

ElOquenf Plea Made By Krass For Refugees Caught hn Snare
 Of War; Aid To Be Given Here

tionalities, although the Jews far out number those of other races. Just as the Jewish people have contributed literally to the Red Cross and other mercy drives for funds. so they are asking the cooperation of all in their efforts to raise funds for the stricken on the eastern front.
 The committee has asked Phoenix to contribute the sum of S7500 to this work. This is comparatively small sum for such a city as Phoenix and there is no doubt but that it will be forthcoming. The committee last year raised about S12,O00,O00, and this year they have set their goal between Sl5,- 000,00O and s20,O0O,0OO.
 Dr. Krass is a speaker of extraordi- nary power, reaching his hearers with grip that holds them fascinated. His gift of vivid description and his knowl- edge of human nature enabled him to show such pitiable conditions in Po- land as to bring tears to the eyes of even men in his audience.
 Speaks at Church
 At the lecture at the Christian church last night Dr. Krass thrilled his audi ence with patriotic address. giving an angle to the war situation which has not been touched on by any other lecturer here.
 That Germany is hot bed of anti semitlsm and that the German Slew so called. Is not even Dro-German, is one Ot the strong points he made The foreign population of this country, coming here to escape op- presslon in their own countries are the greatest lovers of liberty, said Dr. krass. They are extremely patriotic. There should be no discrimination as to aid given. This is not a sectarian matter at all. It is a humanitarian matter. It happens that the majority Of the people in these stricken sections Of Europe are Jews, but that is a mat ter of location. They were forced to live in these localities by the very governments themselves.
 Coupled with patriotism, that which has been brought to the surface in this country. where we are pledged to the principle of making the world safe for democracy, is the fact we have gone farther by feeding the starving babies Of Belgium, sending aid to France and aid to the Armenians. A quality of pity has been aroused. There has never been such giving as that in this country recently
 This burden has got too big for the Jews to bear alone There are between four and five million people in this stricken zone and suffering is in describable. Heretofore the non-Jew has not been asked to contribute. The non-Jews themselves have themselves seen the unfairness of it. The Jews contribute to every cause, the Red Cross, the Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. C. A. and all other war and mercy causes. After all it is a group of human beings that is affected. All should help in this cause"
 Many congratulated Dr. Krass upon his lecture. saying is was the finest they had ever heard. A committee will! arrange for a drive for funds along lines outlined by Dr. Krass.
 Dr. Krass was introduced by Mir Marks who mentioned Dr. Krass' ser vices in war activities. among them being when he raised s7.O00,O0O single handed for the Third Liberty loan at q luncheon in Detroit.

 The committee tomorrow will pass upon Secretary McAdoo's plan for a three-per- cent differential on unearned incomes.
 The treasury has recommended a normal tax of F per cent on earned. and 15 per cent tax on unearned in comes. The question will be whether to adopt this rate. which the treasury has urged on the ground that a high normal rate will help sell Liberty Bonds or to retain the ten per cent on normal incomes about $4,000 annually. as all ready agreed upon and place a 13-per- cent tax on unearned incomes. The treasury has submitted that a high normal tax will promote the sale of the coming Liberty Bond issue. as the in come from Liberty Bonds is not sched- uled to the normal tax but the surtaX and by raising the normal tax, Liberty Bonds will be made especially attrac- tive to capital"

 Giving Way in MerviIIe
 There are indications that the Ger mans also are giving way in parts of the Merville sector. On the new Somme front the Germans overlook no oppor- tunity to fight rear guard actions They appear ready to retire, but ap- parently want to be pushed lite because in the pushing operations they may be afforded an opportunity to get in their deadly work with machine guns.
 At the same time, the Germans ap- parently do not want to fall back fur ther than is necessary before the con- pletion of the operations around Rove There are no signs of further counter attacks at this time

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Plans for continuing the education of youths be- tween the ages of IS and 21 years in elusive, after they have registered un- der the draft law and while they are waiting to be called into service. are being formulated by a committee on education and training of the War De- partment.
 Details of the proposal which is to be submitted within a few days to the general staff were revealed today by inc Senate Military Committee in mak- ing public the testimony of Dr. c. R. Mann of the War Department who ap- peared before it in connection with the pending man power bill
 Train Youths at ColIeqes
 list of 359 colleges at which the youths between IS and 21 years are to undergo military training. has already been prepared. At these schools they can become candidates for particular positions in the army suited to their qualifications. Those especially adapted for commissions will be given special training. All are to. be enlisted in the student army training corps
 During the hearing pr. Mann re- vealed that the War Department is dlscouraging the establishment of mil- ltary courses by various colleges
 Real War Department Matter.
 We do not want the schools to set up a school requirement of military training Dr. Mann told the commit l. tee. but we want the thing to come rom the government. Enlistment gives reality to it and since they will have real army officers, it gives snap to IL that the school cannot get by any of US own requirements in the matter It becomes real War Department mat ter, not school requirement."
 pr. Mann told the committee there are about 165,000 men between IS and 70 years old attending colleges while of the 100000 in the high schools about l0O,O00 are above IS years of age.
