Avoid Its Dangerous Stage.
There is a more sefious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distastefuf features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency of the disease to continue
its course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that
the disease cannot be cured by

mo time nor money can be
spared from war-winning acti-
vities. But the winning of the
war depends on man power,
and man power can not be sus-
tanned in any nation without
health and wholesomeness in
the children. Far worse then
exhausting Americas financial
capital would be the exhaus-
tion of child life, her man
power capital.
England and France began
as America has been tempted
to begin, by letting the chill
dren pay too heavily for the
the war, in child labor, in
creased delinquency, overtaxed
NERVES, weakened bodies, and
premature deaths. But Eng
land and France are already
turning to lift wars burden
from the children by giving
them a chance to play. Eng
land began in January, 1918,
granting government funds to
local play centers. Can Amer
lea do less?
'fIn this summer vacation
time, especially with schools
closed, fathers and elder bro
theirs called to war and many
mothers to labor-there is urg-
ent need to give the boys and
girls an American square deal
to keep the old folks from

would say it."

EDUCATE BOYS AT
NATIONS EXPENSE
MILITARY TRAINING WITH
SOLDIERS PAY.
Subject Was Approved at Recent Con-
vention of State Federation in Sa-
Ida; Must Be 1s Years and
Over To Be Eligible.

Uncle Sam is going to give thou
sands of boys a chance to receive a
college education and military train
ing, at the same time receiving the
pay of a private soldier. At the con-
vention of the Colorado State Fed
Grafton of Labor in Salida last month
a resolution was adopted urging the
government to adopt this plan. 1t
will afford sons of working men a
rare opportunity to get a college
course before going into active serv-
ice at the front.
The following dispatch from Wash
ington gives details of the plan:
The government has arranged with
more than 800 colleges to continue the
education of boys before they are
called to the army. Military train
ing, under an army officer, will be a
part of the educational system of these
colleges. The boys must be IS years
and over and will be considered as
soldiers on active duty. They will be
under military discipline, receive the
pay of privates, and their tuition,
clothing and sustenance will be pro-
vided by the government.
All boys VINO are sufnclently edu-
Gated to pass the entrance examina-
ton of any of these colleges may
become members of the students
army training corps.
Where boys have only received
a grammar schooling and cannot pass
the college examination, they may re-
ceive vocational training.
These boys will be called into the
military service in camp when the
year class to which they belong is
called up.
AT the discretion of the war de-
partment scientific and technical stu
dents may be given an opportunity to
complete scientific courses of direct
military value. Others will be as
signed TO depot brigades of canton
ments. Both the college and the vo-
cational detachments will be watched
for possible officer material"

KEEP CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL.
State and Local Union Officials Urged
to Help in Plan

Mrs. Nary c. c. Bradford, state
superintendent Of public instruction.
is cooperating with the United States
bureau of education in carrying out
President Wilson's injunction that no
child be compelled to lose an oppor-
tunity for education on account Of the
war.
All state and local union officials
are being urged to see that children
stay in school during the fall and win
ter terms. Mrs. Bradford issued a
proclamation this week which is in
accord with the United States COM
mission on education, calling atten-
tion to the fact that while more men
are being taken from industry for
service at the front, the danger in
creases of children losing their op-
portunity for education.
This proclamation is being sent on.
to superintendents of public schools
in the state urging that they enlist
their cooperation with the labor or
carnations in keeping the children in
school.

U,S,HASLONG ARMS
SLACK ERS WILL FIND IT HARD
TO EyADE DRAFT.
Government Officials Have Their Eve
on Every Man Between Ages of IS
and Is. and They Are Spotted.

If any person within the new draft
ages imagines he can evade registra-
ton. the war department has made
public just enough information to show
that Uncle Sam has long arms and
that escape is impossible.
Under the law every police official,
clear down to the village constable.
must aid every federal agency in en-
forcing this statute. Added TO these
are scores and scores of private or
ganizations maintained TO ferret out
draft evaders. Among the larger of
these are the American Protective
League and the secret service branch
of the council of national defense.
There is hardly a community that has
not some organization, many of them
secret in character, that are constant
ly on the alert for information that
will aid the government in rounding
up slackers.
The department of justice has on
file the names of 5000 slackers who
fled to Mexico before June 5, 1917, to
escape registration. Against each one
of these a complete case has been pre-
pared. so that prosecution may be i'm
mediately started if they return. even
after the war closes Representatives
of this government keep close watch
on these men, majority of whom
are from wealthy families. who keep
them supplied with money.
Just rs the government has the
names of these men, so it has the
names of those who fled to Canada
to escape registration. When the
British-American reciprocal draft
treaty takes effect these men must
either face conscription into the Ca
madam army or return to the United
States to face Imprisonment and ulti-
mate induction into the service.

which many district boards in the
past have construed as excluding
bankers, those engaged in commerce,
and those engaged in various other
occupations Under the amendment,
for example, district boards may find
that certain men holding important
positions in the Red Cross and kindred
activities, or men engaged in public
health work, are engaged in occupa-
tions necessary to the maintenance of
the military establishment or to the
maintenance of the national interest,
and, for that reason, are entitled to
deferred classification.
''In making claims of the kind, the
persons concerned may make use of
those parts of the QUESTIONABLE relat-
ing to claims for deferred classifica-
tion on the ground of being engaged
in industries, including agriculture"

DRAFT Is ELASTIC
NECESSARY WORKERS CAN GAIN
INDUSTRIAL EXEMPTION.
Amendment to New Man Power Law
Widens Scope and Permits Men to
Remain in Necessary Occupations.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
calls attention to that section of the
new draft law which liberalizes de-
ferred classification and permits dis
trict boards to include in such classi-
fication those men whose work is
necessary to the government in its
present emergency.
The provost marshal general says:
Bankers and persons engaged in
other occupations and employments
not heretofore regarded by district
boards as warranting deferred classi-
fication on the ground of necessary
industries. may now claim deferred
classification on the ground that their
work Is necessary to the nation in the
present emergency.
AN amendment in the new man
power legislation recently passed,
changed the provision: Persons en-
gagged in industries, including agricul-
ture,' so as to make it read: Persons
engaged in industries, occupations or
employments, including agriculture,
found to be necessary to the mainte-
nance of the military establishment or
the effective operation of the military
forces or the maintenance of national
interest during the emergency
THE effect of this is to enable neces-
sary persons in occupations or en-
ployments to make claims that they
are engaged in occupations or employ
ments that the district board may find
necessary to the maintenance of the
military establishment or to the main
tenance of the national interest during
the war
Thus, in other words, has been re-
moved the danger of a too narrow
construction of the word industries

Huns Willing Restore Alsace Lorraine if Allowed to Retain Russian Baltic Provinces and Other
 Mineral Lands

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Mar. lO.-It is the unanimo,s opinlon among the diplomats of neutral nations residing M this city that there is underground peace being worked on by the German government It is practical, known that some underground peace eeer have been ing from Germany for me but their reception at hands ot the allied government is considered doubtful
 The ma ority of the diplomats convinced that thr Germans have offered willing, surrender Alsace orraine the lost French colonies back France How ever in for this. Germany is thought to have de maned be allowed retain its hold upon the Russian Baltic provinces and in mineral belts other nearby sec tions of Russia.
 This Concides with the inference that Germany has made offer to the English government for the conclusion ot peace at the of Russia arguing that Russia las deserted the allies and Germany is in possession of most of the province asked or the allies do themselves no harm by accedng the This line of argument is known be dstasteu to the American government and Lord Robert Cecil in interview with Associated Press representative. stated that England is now and will be- willing consider any peace which must be se cured at the expense of Russia.
 The late announcements of German military command denouncng the allied lack of responsiveness toward peace settlement strengthen the views held by dpo mats and in i-OiCa circles in this It would be surprising if Germany, failing make any breaks in the allied alignment will launch her much vauntcd offensive upon the western front
 PEACE TALK UNPOPULAR
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 16--Infercnces that Germany plans proposng has already proposed peace settlement the expense of Russia is well received here Such differences have made peace talk unpopular this city than has been the beginning of the war There is no doubt where America will stand upon such proposal and the allied nations equally deter mined that they will not accept anything which be paid for by the unfortunate Russians
