Enrolment Cards for Next
Call Are Being Sent
Local Boards
Twenty Queries Listed
Marriage, Military Service
and Exemption Are Not
Referred To

The first thing which the $50 900
unregistered male residents of New
York City who come within the limits
of the eighteen forty-fve man-power
bill will have to do to get in line for
the draft is to fill out registration
card, already issued by the govern
ment and now being sent out to local
draft boards.
The machinery which takes the toll
of the new registrants is the same as
that which handled the two former
drafts, but this time the registration
card is much simpler than before, al
though at first glance it appears more
complex because of the greater number
of questions.
Twenty Questions Asked
Each applicant will have to answer
these twenty questions on registration
day, which probably will come early
in September, though the exact date
has not yet been determined
/. Name. (Give first name. middle name
2. Perrnanen. home address in full.
3. Age in years.
4. Date of brth--month day, year.
5. White?
8. Negro?
Z. Oriental?
3. Citizen Indian =?

10 Native born United States citizen?
H. Naturalized United States citizen?
IL Citizen by fathers naturalization be-
fore registrant's majority?
A. Alien? (declaranti.
a. Alien? tnon-declarant).
l5. If not a citizen of the United States
of what nation are you citizen or subject?
16 Present occupation.
II. Employers name.
Is. Place of employment or business-ad-
dress in full.
10. Name of nearest relative q, wife .
nearest blood relation: 3, closest friend ii
blood reatives).
90. Full address of nearest relative.
Nationality Stressed
The thing which the government is
stressing little stronger this time is
the nationality of the registrant. The
questions of marriage. military service,
dependents, exemption and birth place
have no place on the new registration
cards. They will be taken up entirely
by the new questionnaires. These
documents have not yet been received
here, according to Captain David Asch,
deputy director of the draft. There
will be little change in them, in his
opinion, except what is embodied in the
law by Congressional action. 1t has
been determined upon by Washington
that deferred classification, which will
prove the biggest item in the new
questionable. will be decided by the
local draft board and not by the regis
trant, through special claim.
m Should Carry Cards
In anticipation of the new registra-
ton, and to spare themselves and the
officials of the draft unnecessary
trouble, Captain Asch asks that ali
drafted men in New York carry with
them at all times their classification
cards. 1t is important, too, that men
Just over forty-tive and not yet eigh-
teen carry with them some sort of
certiflcation of their right ages.
~ 1t is expected that 100000 men in
New York state will be affected bv the

GERMANYS CREDITORS
Kansas City Times1

Richard H. Edmonds. editor of the
Manufacturers Record, of Baltimore.
has been figuring out a way where
by Germany can find the money to
repay the Allies the cost of the war,
and has hit upon the plan of COM
pelling it to repudiate its bonded
debt. This debt Germany owes TO
it's own people and its reputation
would mean national bankruptcy,
which is what Mr.. Edmonds would
see brought about as a punishment
no greater than Germany deserves,
as we'll as a guarantee that it will
remain helpless and quiet for at least
generation.
"a prosperous Germany within the
next quarter of century" he says,
would be a blot upon civilization
and would show that civilization did
not have the moral backbone and
manhood to punish the criminal"
A prosperous Germany within the
next quarter of a century certainly
would look a little too much like a
premium on burglary. and the Allies
probably mean to discourage bur-
glary. In lending their money to
their government the German people
were investing in a get-rich-quick
scheme. They were perfectly willing
bring the loot back. 1t was adver-
tised in the most public manner that
what the army was setting out to do
armed and equipped with the
money invested in 1t by the German
neople-was to rob France. The
scheme failed. whereupon the in
vestors sought to get dividend by
robbing Russia. The loot taere mas
been rather disappointing, ana tho
only hope the gamblers In tie gov
ernment's war securities now have
Is to get their bare principal hack.
Shall they be permitted TO get 1t?
Shall the Allies allow this wrecked
and bankrupt institution 10 pay out
its remaining assets to preferred
creditors, the insiders in its own con-
spiracy to rob. while the people of
France and the other countries that
have saved civilization shoulder the
billions of debt incurred the job?
Obviously that would oe tc treat
this speculation of the German peo-

THE M'ADOO ORDER

X ECRETARY McADOO'S order to
- railroad men to get out of poll
tics or out of the railroad serv-
ice has caused all manner of discus
sion wherever railroad men fore
gather. For the most part the rail-
readers disapprove the order as an
unnecessary infringement upon the
rights of the American citizen. They
believe as administrator of the rail-
road systems of the country in the
war period the Secretary of the
Treasury is justified in enforcing any
regulation which may have to do
with efficiency and the achievement
of the utmost limit of service in the
prosecution of the war. But they re-
fuse to accept as necessary or ad-
visable in a country whose govern
ment is for the people. by the people
and of the people the elimination of
a large and intelligent element of
the population from participation in
that government.
1t must be apparent to the aver
age thoughtful person that this dis
elimination against thousands of
men will inevitably lead to indiffer-
ence to the important duties of citi-
zenship and a possible attitude of re-
sentiment toward governmental reg
ulation in other directions. So long
as the people of the United States
are encouraged to take part in the
making of it's laws and the adminis-
tration of it's affairs there can be no
real danger of failure in any feature
of our governmental activities or de-
cay of our free institutions. but the
shutting out of a large class of citi-
zens from participation in these ac-
tivities may lead to serious conse-
quences.
1t is quite conceivable that Secre-
tary McAdoo had in mind a useful
purpose. in divorcing the railroad
men from political activity, but it is
an open question whether the drastic
order compelling these men to aban-
don all thought of participation in
government save as they may cast a
ballot is not likely to lead to worse
evils than those which the order
may be designed to cure.
Under our system of government 1t
would seem to be fundamentally
necessary to encourage the citizens
of all classes to take an active part
not only in the intelligent exercise of
the franchise, but in seeking to
serve in public office. 1t is probable
that the railroad men who are now
candidates for Office will submit to
anything and everything which may
seem to be necessary to win the war
but the time must come when the
pendulum will swing back and nor
NAL conditions be restored.

AS TO REPRISALS

1--WE favor reprisals," says Colonel
Harvey. I'VE would exact from Ger
many the fullest possible indemnity
for the material damage which she
has done to Belgium. France and
Serbia, thought it bled her white and
kept her so for hundred years. We
would sweep every German sympa-
thizer and propaganda in America
into a prison pen, not where he would
be coddled and fed on the fat of the
land. but where he would be made
to feel some little measure Of the
rigors which his kind have imposed
upon innumerable innocent people.
We would send German spies, ncen-
diaries. and what not to the lethal
zone between a blank wall and FIR
ing SQUAD. We would impress 1t upon
the minds of our soldiers at the front
that their first duty is to Kill huns.
If it is necessary or unavoidable that
prisoners shall be taken, take tnem
but always remember tnal 'he Nis'
choice is to Kill.
"This Is not savagery. 1t is not
bloodthirstiness. 1t is humanity. 1t Is
Justice, 1t would indeed be mon
strous injustice to forego the exac-
tion of the greatest possible indem-
nitv that can be forced by military
nressl1re from the lootfilled treasures
of Germany. 1t would be inhumanlty
10 leave at large innumerable Grim
inaI conspirators. 1t would be blood
thirstiness to refrain from the killing
of a. few whose deaths would mean
the saving of the lives of many. IL
would be betrayal of humanity ana
civilization to treat on terms or
equality and confidence those VINO
have shown themselves intrinslcally
criminal and depraved.
1--WE would not have our soldiers
degraded to the level of those with
whom they are fighting, and we have
no fear that they will be. Men who
slaughter mad dogs and rattlesnakes
and exterminate vermin do not there
by become degraded. On the contrary
the consciousness of having done
good deeds and of having freed the
world from peril tends toward
higher spiritual standard. Our SOL
diers who are killing Huns for hu-
manity's sake will experience an ex-
altation of soul such as the Crusad-
ers knew and such as the pioneers
| of progress and of Righteousness al
ways feel at the overcoming or diff
ficulties and evils.
"Reprisals, but not in kind NC
imposition of evil, but inexorable and
relentIess exaction of atonement for
evil. No ravishing, slavery murder
sacrilege; but force, force to the ut,
most. force without stint or limit,
and above all, at the present time
the force that kills Huns!"

HOPELESS DEMOCRATS

-HE hopelessness of the Demo-
cratic party in Pennsylvania
and the utter inability of its
self proclaimed leaders to lead, were
never better illustrated than by the
present total disruption of the or
ganization. With President Wilson
at Washington solemnly declaring
that politics is adjourned" his two
spokesmen in this State. Palmer and
Mccormick, came to Harrisburg
playing old-time machine politics
with bassdrum and cymbals to say
nothing of fine display of redflre
and rockets.
1t is a sordid story, with a humor-
Gus side, this Palmer-Bonniwell- Nc
Cormick incident, and not all of it
by any manner of means is told in
Palmer's charges against his party's
candidate for Governor. In synopsis
it is this. Bonniwell decides to run
for Governor in the Democratic pri-
maries. The Palmer-McCormick
machine sets out to beat him. Bon
niwell beats the machine and is
nominated. Mccormick sulks in his
tent, hesitating between the shame
of supporting a candidate whose af-
f1liations with the booze interests in
Pennsylvania are his proudest boast,
and the humiliation of being COM
PEELED as National Democratic Chair
man to bolt his own State ticket. So
he remains silent and lets Palmer
do the talking, PGinner does. with
out consulting Mccormick. and like
the real, dyed-in- -the-wool machine
politician he is, asserts that the
choice of the party is good enough
for MIN and he will support Bon
niwell.
Thereupon he undertakes to lead
Bonniwell into the Democratic Pal
mer- Mccormick machine camp. and
Bonniwell declines to be led to the
slaughter. When it becomes clear
that he cannot control the fire-eat-
ing nominee for Governor, Mr.. Pal
mer digs up series of charges that
sound very much as though, if true.
he must have had considerable
knowledge of them before he first
aligned himself with Bonniwell fol-
lowing the primaries. and the stage
is set ready for the Bonniwell COM
edy. September IA. with a big hook
in the wings awaiting the moment
deemed best for the summary re-

Colper Urges War Time Advertising

interrupted distribution as it would
be deemed unwise of a manufacturer
to junk a portion of his factory
equipment because there had been
interruption to it's use.
Th manufacturer who has con-
verted his factory to war work and
has therefore interrupted the pro-
duction of his original line, does
not tear down and discard his eX-
pensive machinery to save the in
surance premiums or other similar
expenses. 1t would be just as sensi-
BILE for a manufacturer, whose COM
mercial integrity is founded upon
advertising. to abandon his adver-
carrying charge on his greatest asset
goodwill
Persistent Advertising Is Insurance
There is scant justification, 1t
would seem, for the misgivings OIL
the advertiser who is prone to allow
his investment in goodwill to go by
default merely because he suspects
that popular demand or the condi-
tions of distribution may undergo
some radical change after the war.
If a businessman is basing his ex-
pectations upon an unworthy prod
uct he might as we'll abandon 1t
once and for all. For the manufac-
turer, however, who has faith in his
product there Is every reason to
have faith in the future and every
incentive to take out insurance In
the form of persistent advertising.
Dominating the minor considera-
tions of ways and means is the big
idea that an advertiser is justified,
in the face of suspended animation,
commercially speaking, in doing
everything within his power to sus-
tain his commercial integrity and
preserve his commercial identity.
Let the corporation with such an
asset use it's surplus, employ its un-
divided profits, or even borrow
money to protect, by means of con-
sistent and insistent advertising, that
invaluable, intangible asset-good-
will, which is the one thing that
cannot be bought out of hand after
the war.
They told me when was young
ster that "even the Lord can't make
a two-year-old calf in minute"
Big advertising spreads after the
war will meet equally big spreads.
Business will bid for public atten-
ton and interest on a bull market.
The purpose will be to put punch
into the goodwill that has gone
flabby. The man who goes into
that contest with a public attention
and interest which he has never al
lowed to relax will go in with his
goodwill sxeined to the minute. He
will VITA.

Outmatching the Big Bertha
By BRIGGS
philadelphia Inquirer1

lfnllauelpnla lnqulrer1
There came from Paris the other
DAY a brief cablegram. 1t was so
brief that we quote it in full:
In special type, rHeure "a news
paper published in Paris) prints
prominently this enigmatic note:
will the echo to the great Bertha
soon be heard? Will that echo have
q Yankee accent?"
We wonder how many readers OF
the Inquirer puzzled over that short
telegram. And yet had they follow
ed carefully the news printed in this
journal they need not have been at
a loss as to its meaning.
The great Bertha" is the big gun
that has been bombarding Paris
from a distance of seventy miles or
so. But weeks ago-yes, some
months ago-guns made in the Unit
ed States capable of throwing an eX-
plosive projectile upward of one
hundred miles were landed on the
other side of the ocean. Huge siege
guns that will smash fortifications at
thirty-five miles are daily toys OF
American artillerists training in this
country. But the rival to the great
Bertha" the gun with yankee ac-
cent" is quite another thing. 1t is
evident that the Paris newspaper
has heard of it. But so far as Is
known that gun has not spoken.
But there are many other things
that have not talked to the Germans
yet. They will all talk in due time.
When Marshal Foch gets good and
ready to let loose with his big often
sive (Which will be next year, we
suspect, not this year, it is more
than likely that the Hun will fad
himself in for surprises which even
his "kultur" has not been able to
suspect. We are in this war to win.
and we are going to win.
And we are going to win In Ger
many-not on the soil of France.
