mined not to lose"
In closing DR.. Peirce reminded those
present that the allied hopes are cen
tered on America, that the situation
grows grimmer each day, and that the
Americans is the obligation to win the
war. He appealed to those under Il
years of age to complete their educa-
tion If possible before entering the
service because that was the way TN.
Gle Sam wanted It and Uncle Sam
knew what he wanted. Reiterating the
fact that the Americans do not know

LETTING UNCLE DO IT

Every few days we hear of another
Industry apparently destined to come
under government control. Yesterday
1t was the railroads. Today It is the
express companies. Tomorrow IL may
be the telegraph companies. The
chipping industry, the coal industry,
the steel industry and many others
are already managed in large meas
IRE by the government. Additions
are being made with bewildering ra-
pidity, and there is always steady
stream of new proposals.
Let Uncle Sam do IT." seems to
be our new national motto.
The tendency SO far has unquestion.
ably been good. 1t was necessary for
the government to take control of Ger
tain big industries and Industrial pro-
cesses In order to put the country on
a war basis. On the whole, the gov
ernment has done Its work we'll, and
is proceeding with increasing effect.
iveness, but there Is danger of over.
doing the matter.
We need not be alarmed or mis-
led by cries of "State Socialism" or
any other kind of Socialism. No SEN
sible citizen is afraid either that our
government will abuse It's power like
the German autocracy, or that our
people will abuse their power like the
Russian proletariat. 1t Is rather a
question Of properly dividing labor
and responsibility.
The finest form of government, the
ablest governmental organization.
can't do everything. We are In dan
ger of overlooking our federal ma
chinery, and undertaking state and
municipal governments and private
enterprises. Much of the demand for
added federal activities is due to pure
shlrking, particularly on the part Of
our states. Where public authority
must take charge. our states and
cities could do far more than they
are doing Still less has private en-
terprise approached its limit.
We ought to stop carrying all our
troubles to Washington, and take care
of more of them ourselves. That's
what a democracy is for.

WHEAT STILL UNDER BAN

Somehow the rumor got abroad that
further saving of wheat and use of
substitutes was unnecessary. The
food administration has at once Is
sued a statement to remind Ameri-
cans that there Is still every reason
for being careful In our use of wheat
-four. II present conservation efforts
In the United States were relaxed,
there would result serious want In the
countries Of our allies.
In the first place, although wheat
harvesting has begun In some sec.
tions. the main harvest isn't due for
some weeks yet. II everything goes
well with the prospective wheat crop
there will be an unusually abundant
harvest. But even so we must not
then return to lavish consumption
OF wheat products, II will be the
part OF wisdom to store up any sur.
plus there may be against possible
unfavOrable years.
Our allies must have all they need,
this year and tho next, 80 long as the
war lasts. We will need less wheat In
proportion to our other foodstuffs be-
cause we have 80 many good substi-
tutes available. From any point OF
view, II is neither wise nor patriotic
for Americans to count on unrestrict.
ed use Of wheat until the war is end
ed.
II hardly seems necessary to keep
on reminding Americans that this Is
no hardship. Through these summer
months especially 1t viii be easy TO
go without bread And when we do
use bread, II It contains any wheat
-four at all. It should be used very
sparingly. Just because loaf OF
bread contains the prescribed amount
OF substitutes is no excuse for eating
three or four slices OF 1t at sitting.

A TEST OF DECENCY

An interesting experiment is being
made by the American government. 1t
will be an acid test Of whether there
Is any decency and humanity left in
the German government. That is not
the announced purpose, but that is
what the matter amounts to.
Heretofore our sick and wounded
sailors have been carried on ordinary
transports, conveyed by warships.
Now the navy department is fitting
out liner renamed Comfort, to serve
as hospital ship between this coun-
try and our naval base abroad. She
will be given all the distinguishing
marks prescribed by the Geneva con-
vention for vessels Of her character,
and then sent through the war zone
without convoy. Germany will be no
titled Of her character and purpose.
and will be expected to respect her,
according to the rules Of international
law.
That seems like a good deal to ex-
pect of Germany, In view of her war
record. She has repeatedly attacked
British hospital ships. She has only
recently made fragrant air attacks on
British and American hospitals, In
France, when their character was un-
mistakable. VIII she honor the Com
fort-and herself-now?
II may be that the sheer audacity Of
the thing will recall the German ad-
miralty to a semblance Of human de.
cency and enable our navy to "get
away with It," We shall see. Though
dubious, we are willing to be shown.
II It works, 1t will be Il notable step
toward saving the war from progress
sive barbarism.

ed next fall.
There are others besides negro
farm workers who have propensity
for Saturday holidays. II has been
a general custom with white farmers,
In nearly every section, to spend at
least half of Saturday in town. II Is
natural enough in rural communities,
where families don't see their neigh
bors often. That Saturday gathering
in town has been social event. But
It is being shortened or dropped this
year, as II must be II the rural popu-
lation Is to succeed in It's big Job of
feeding the allied nations.
City workers, too, are taking less
time off and reducing the weekend
rest to one day instead of one and a
