the Mennonites that it is no longer
patriotic to speak Pennsylvania
Dutch" and as fast and as thor
oughly as possible these unbelievers
in war are d%iscarding the speech of
their childhood and home associ-

sible one for them, since all or nearly
all of them have had some experi-

NOT TOO MANY STRINGS

1t is to be hoped that not too many strings will be at
tached to the man-power bill in it's passage through the
two houses. The nation needs men. Senator Lodge re-
There is a practical certainty that in some form or other
the new bill will provide for the drafting OF youths and
men between the ages Of 10 and 46. But there have been
proposed a number Of restrictions, such as the provision
that men between the ages of 20 and 2s shall be called
first; that a special class shall be made Of men over SO:
that young men below the ages of 10 or 20, or FL, shall
not be called into service; that a special preparatory
class shall be madeopf the younger men, and so On.
Doubtless some of these proposals have merit. But
it is a question Of how many Of them should be enacted
into, law. The administration was given practically a
free hand in the selection Of men within the present draft
ages. In substance the law enacted last year provided
for the registration of all men between the ages Of FL and
81, authorized the president, through the proper channels
to arrange for classification, and let 1t go at that. That
plan seems to have worked out fairly well. There have
been mistakes, Of course. Changes have been necessary.
There has been some cutting and fitting. But on the
whole, the practice which we have reached is probably
a good deal better than it would have been had congress
at the outset, undertaken to provide all the details for the
operation Of the law.
Some of the provisions which 1t has been proposed
to incorporate in the pending bill are substantially what
the war department would make If left to its own discre-
ton. Why not leave 1t that way? "A very good law. can
be made imperative, by tying too many strings to 1t.

DEVIL FEARS LABOR
Confidential Correspondence
From the Devil to the
Kaiser.)
DECIDED by Eugene H. Blake of The
Vigilantes. +

Internal Palace, Hades.
My Dear Kaiser:-
Well, l must say Russian labor was
dead easy as soon as you had your
german labor start that "kamerad"
talk. Italian labor also swallowed
this "kamerad" and peace talk like
a fish swallowing bait until you added
that northern strip of their country
to your war map and hooked in near
ly a quarter million more Italians to
slave in German war camps.
And it's a simpler job in1Belrium
than herding cattle. Cattle may have
to1b lassoed. Belgium laborers can
read your orders to report at a GER
tain hour and be hauled into Ge-
many in cattle cars. I am certainly
sorry to hear that meat for food con-
tinues so scarce in your empire. But
If the official figues are correct,
showing that during March your gov
eminent hauled 1900 additionar head
of Belgium laborers away from Lock-
eren in East Flanders, congratulate
you that some things remain plenti-
full. But, Wilhelm. you may be maxi
ing a mistake in taking boys as young
as IA years. And why did you
register all women between IA and
40 years of age in the Alost district?
You see, my dear Kaiser, when
German labor makes its next move for
more conferences with labor delegates
from other nations, non-German la
Dor will be getting wise.2 1t will re-
member that q German can leave your
empire these days only when. your
government is sure his mission can
help maintain its autocratic sway in
the long rum. Besides. non-German
labor will know that. German labor
can not be sincere in its friendship
until it has really Joined world labor
in this supreme effort to break u
plans for saddling German princes
and German taxes on the rest of the
world.
Maybe that's. why American labor
is bucking so strong against your
plans. Did you notice this paragraph
from the report of the executive coun-
Gil Of the American Federation OF
Labor at the annual convention in, st.
Paul? $50 !
