GERMANS LACK THINKING MEN

Comprehension Of Situation.

Germany in making call for men
up to forty-scven years of age has ta-
ken advantage OF two more years
above the conscrlptiOn maximum Of
forty-fvc, Most individuals when they
approach the fiflicth year have about
concluded their fighting days through
Inability TO keep down their glrth
measure Eut certain conditions In
Germany over which that country has
had ljtt'c control. have served, no
doubt, To keep the human form within
military bounds. Americans who 60 to
France, therefore, are likely to have
to f,.ht babes in arms and old gentle.
men II the age limits are stretched
further under PrusSian regulations, OBJ
serves the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps, nfter all, this ConScriptng
Of men above fOrty-ive will produce
some effect in the ranks that may he
useful toward letting light into dark
places. The army knows little Of what
Is going on In the world, If half Of the
seasoned soldiers really believe that
London is In ruins and the German
feet Is In control Of the sca, they may
learn something to their advantage by
consulting n few Of the old Stngers who
are compelled nt this late date 10 Join
the COlOrs. Men born in 1870 ought to
be more difficult to deceive, and few
Of such scattered through the army
may serve 10 cnlightcn the fighting
multitude as to the error of their be-
lief. 1t is presuming much to expect
results from this source, but If q man
above forty-five is good for anything
as trench fighter, he ought to be good
at shooting off his mouth And after
all, what Germany lacks most is more
men who will talk and think.

MANY FACES MISSING
FROM THE OLD TOWN;
SOME MAY NOT RETURN
The Folks at Home viii Remember
Them When Fourth Liberty Lean
Campaigns opens Sept. %.

Have you noticed that the old
town isn't altogether what It used to
be? That somehow there is differ.
ence when you go down the street?
That the old places are more sub
ducd and quiet; less busy and noisy?
That go where you will, the club, the
bowling ally, the billiard parlor, any
where, there Is the same subtle sense
of change!
The old voices no longer hail you
with such eager challenge, such roy
al welcome, such whole souled good
fellowship; the old smiles no longer
greet you so warmly and the old
hand claps on the shoulder no longer
bring you the same old sense Of com
radeship and friendly interest, Some
thing seems to have slipped silently
out of life.
For scores Of the old faces are
missing; faces that you knew and
loved the best,
They are "over there" In the khaki.
clad ranks that are slowly pushing
the gray Hun line backward toward
the Rhine. They are taking up the
burden of civilization, OF democracy
and freedom; the liberation Of a half
world threatened with enslavement;
the perpetuation Of our own national
liberty and safety, The overthrow
Of Kniserdom.
And some Of them are never to
come back!
None of us will ever forget these
missing faces; the faces Of our
friends, our brothers, and sweet
hearts, our husbands and fathers. All
OF us will hope to welcoma them
home again, triumphant from the fir.
ing line, the Jaws of death, the lit.
eral mouth Of the inferno.
Nor must any Of US forget them
in the coming Fourth Liberty Loan
drive.
For II is to strengthen them and
their fight, to hurry their ultimate
victory and to speed their return,
that these bonds are TO be offered
That and that alone.
Remember these missing faces;
these faces that we lore.
And begin at once your saving for
the Fourth loan.

New Tyne of "Vampire."

Arrest at the instance of an army

Issued against this new type of "vam-

soldiers are picked out by these won.
on and deliberately led into marriage,
the one purpose being to secure money
from the government. The game Is
not new one, nor does II exhibit
much modification in its details. It is
reported from some Of the Southern
army camps that as many as three
and four soldiers have been welded
to the same woman The young men
who are away from home for the first
time, wearing their country's uniform,
should be warned that marriage Is not
merely an enlistment for the war, and
therefore TO be approached very seri.
ously. Romance is part Of n soldiers
life, but It may have consequences
that will embarrass him In after
years. The vampire" Is one Of his
chiefest dangers, and one against
whom It is difficult to guard.
