All Are In the Country's Service

Under the new regulations of the selective draft there technically exemptions and there really except to those registrants who placed in class g. Even some of them would not be exempt from service if the need for should tend beyond class 4. The regulations classify registrants with respect solely to the needs of the government and nothing else. A with dependent relatives is put in other than class because it is better that he should dependents than that the government should do it.
 Those engaged in industrial pursuits whose con- duct is vital to the needs of the government skilled labor in industries which necessary to carry on the war; put in class 1 because they can, for the time at least the country better in those industries. If time should when fighting men are more imperatvey needed than these industries are, the of that class would be taken The whole arrangement is for war and not for the con- venience of any class. It only the exemption boards to determine whether regisrants shall be in this that class.
 The three most important industries in the order of their importance just are shfpbuilding the manufacture of supplies and the production of food. Of course this order may be later changed but they all important that any man who can contribute to either of them is more valuable than he would be a soldier.
 The shortage of transportation has been i'm pressed upon and the worlds shortage of food has become a serious thing Even in peace there was none too much Hardly any year witnessed the car rying over of any considerable quantity of food The world at it's best was living from hand to mouth
 With some millions of withdrawn from food production and with vast of arabic turned into battle fields famine is brought within the vision of every country at many of the countries and we ourselves, find it necessary as a nation to undergo such deprivation as we have never known
 In these circumstances we will need men who can contribute to food production in field of endeavor more urgently than they will be needed anywhere else.

and that they being deceived to the progress of it. But whether that is true or not there is one very important matter to which they are not deceived and that is identity of their enemies
 We would think the Germans very benghted and groping if told that they believed they were not fighting the American people but only the Wilson administrations that they really loved the American people especially the very large Gereean- American element of the American people and that but for the Wilson administration the two nations would not be at war Such belief would not be any more foolish than the notion of of us that i've not at with the German people," As long as any considerable element of Americans entertain that notion we have very long way to dig through the various strata of bunk before get down to the solid level of brass tacks
 We fighting the German people, highly trained and very determined people, who believe in themselves and their destiny and who more solidly for the than the people of any other country engaged in the war If it not for such people and their solidarity, it would not be much of It would have been over long before this without intervention And it will not be until the people of America Great Britain France attain the utmost solidarity and determination and quit talking peace and thinking peace.
 We suppose there is less peace discussion and less thought of an early peace in Germany than in any other country engaged in the war; mean among the people of Germany with whom Eve are not at war" We hear much, though from Germany about peace. Part of it is sent out by the govern ment for military purposes part of is foolshly fabricated by those of us who spend time magnifying the weaknesses of Germany than we do in developing strength and resources.
 But We will get over that sooner or later and we will give more attention to our conduct and to proper part in the than to idle guessing as to what the German people doing and thinking. And if do part it will make little difference to what the German people do or think

A Persistent Illusion

We supposed that had recovered from the Illusion in which we had indulged early in the war, that we not at with the German people," We supposed that we had come to accept and under stand the statements of Lloyd George and Luden dorf that "his is not armies but of peoples and nations. Yet, friend Booth Tarkingon speak ing lately Vgilane, reiterated that i've are not fighting the German people"
 It would not at first thought that this is very vital The main thing is for us to fight effectively, but submit that cannot fight most effectively if not whom we are fighting. We cannot do best unless we clear away all the cobvebs which obstruct our view of the enemy Every illusion hig anA little, must gA

Dr. Henry Van Dyke, former United States ambassador to Hol- land, and at one time pastor of the Brick Presbyterian church of New York, declared in a recent address to New York congregation that we must beware of delusive German peace talk. "The greed and treach- cry of imperial Germany has plunged the world in misery" declared Dr. Van Dyke. "That is what we are fighting against and let us accept no peace that does not mean the defeat of the enemy"
