we need not call for helpers The volunteer

All patriots, by confession.
= The grumblers are awed into silence If
the faint of disloyalty remains anywhere it is
hidden as shameful secret The heads are
wagging and we hear many old assurances:
"I'll do all can."
"I'll go as far as the next fellow"
'Tll take all can afford to take.",
We are speaking, of course, of the Fourth
Liberty Loan and the willingness of the war
hackers to subscribe.
This time we do not explain Liberty Loan
and how it works. or why we battle with Ger
many or that war costs money. It will just
about require search-warrant to find man
who does not say that he will take all the bonds
he can "afford" to take.
But, O, my countrymen, we need night
schools and correspondence schools private
tutors and chautauquas and special Informal
ton bureaus to enlighten Mr.. A and Mr. B and
Mr. G. as to the real meaning of the word
"afford."
Are you penciling around to find out how
much money you can set aside without the
slightest inconvenience to any Of your pet pri-
vate projects?
Are you trying to decide how many bonds
you will have to take in order to escape the
charge of being Stacker?

Boys and Over-age and Infirm
Men Lie in Efforts to Serve Our
Country--Q. Are You Stacking?

Jacksonville, Fla, April because
of the innate courage and patriotism
of the average American citizen,
young and old, scenes that are ex-
tremely pathetic are witnessed daily
in the recruiting stations of the regu-
lar army in this city, Pensacola, Tai
lahassee, Tampa, Orlando and Miami.
Some of the pathos-burdened incl
dents are as inspiring as efforts of
members of the Stacker" brigade to
avoid service are disgusting.
Not a day passes at these stations
on which under-age boys do not offer
for enlistment in some branch of the
service, and in many instances they
misstate their ages, so great is their
desire to fight or work for the coun-
try in the hours of travail. On the
other hand, men who are average OF
inirm resort to the "camoufage'
practice, claiming to be much younger
than they are and stedfastly denying
that they are victims of manifest ply
steal Affections. Without exception
these mere boys and average and dis
eased men leave the station crestfall-

others shed tears of chagrin I'D an

afternoon swept that part of West

The houses were occupied by Latins,

The civilian relief committee of the
Red Cross last night issued a call for

AS the war progresses the need of
the services of real men increases and
few are Sinking nowadays. The army
calls for the services of able-bodied
men from Is to 81 and 81 to 40, in
elusive, and offers them every chance
for promotion, Strengthening of mind
and body and honor during the war
and in years to come. The men are
given the best of treatment and there
is not one who has spent a few months
in training camp who is not thank
full because he had that privilege. The
experience has made men of many
seeming weaklings.
Are you going to play Stacker" at
this crucial period and be scorned in
future years, or are you going for
ward manfully and volunteer your
services?
If you are Stacker" at heart, your
service would be useless in any capac-

If you are a courageous patriot why
not show it without delay by enlisting
at one Of the recruiting stations, with
a travelling recruiting agent or your
postmaster?

9In your letter you call attention of

ed in the house of representatives, rec

that date be set fol. public hear

whose resolutions on the Irish ques-
ton have been referred to the commit
tee on foreign affairs for considera-
ton, and (b) to the representatives
of responsible and patriotic organiza-
tions of Americans who have filed PEE
titions with the speaker of the house
and with the committee in behalf of
these resolutions.
81 have given careful consideration
to your communication, and the other
letters of similar character, as well
as to the resolutions to which they
refer; and have reached the conclusion
that it would not be for the public in
terest, at the present time, to grant
your request for such hearing. The
serious consideration by the commit
tee on foreign affairs of these resolu-
tions might well be considered as con-
stituting an interference with the in
ternal affairs of another nation, and
that nation one of our co-belligerents;
and could scarcely fail to prove a
source of serious embarrassment to
a nation associated with the United
States in the war.
81 therefore regret that my sense
of duty, not only to this country, but
also to a nation associated with the
United States in the war, makes it
necessary to give an unfavorable an
