DRAFT BILL PASSED
Unanimous in Senate aud Nearly
so in House

The man-power bill bringing
within the army draft all men
from IS to 45 years old passed
the senate last Tuesday by a unan-
imous vote. 1t had passed the
house with only two voter
against it.
All efforts to change the age
limits or direct separate CLASH
fcation of youths under 81 failed
and the measure was sent to cor
fernce between the house ard
senate with no difference for serious
controversy.
1t is understood that the bill
will become law and be put into
active operation within few days.
The practically unanimous vote
with which the law passed is strong
proof of the unanimity with which
the war measures are being sup
ported by the country.

LIBERTY BONDS
Some OF the Sits You Will Do
in Liberty Loan Drive

If you buy a 500 bond OF the

lending the United States gov
eminent enough money to feed d
soldier in France a little more than
seven months. Or you have fur
nished enough money to give him q
complete outfit of winter and sum-
mer clothing, including shoes and
stockings, and slicker and orercoat
and blankets, with enough left
over to arm him with a good re-
volver. You have done that much
to beat back the Hun.
1t takes $95 more to arm him
with a rifle with a bayonet on it,
and if you buy a second 500 bond
you furnish him this rifle and
1000 cartridges for it; and there
will still be enough Of your money
left to perchase a good sized bomb
to throw in a dugout, or demolish
a machine gun together with the
Huns operating it.

cent weeks" said M. Clemenceau,
in which the spirit Of our allies
has SO magniicently riyalled ours.
has definitely settled the fortune of
war. The enemy, bewildered. de-

strength and now is finding out
that he underestimate US.
The results achieved are the
first fruits of our harvest of
rewards, the highest of which will
be having delivered the world
from ruthless oppression and bru-

I'VE hail the dawn, the first
