American Efficiency

evidently without trace or exag-
geration. But reading between
the lines we see the high courage
of our American boys clearly re-
vealed. The general closed with
a wonderful tribute to the pa
tience and heroism of his officers
and soldiers.
The work which the Americans
done in the war is far more than
military experts fores wv a. pos
sible in SO short space of time.
1t was not to be expected that a
body of young men drawn from
peaceful civilian life and with u
traiI ing brief though intensified,
shou d te able to prevail wher-
ever used against Germany's sea
soned troops.
Their success can only be at
tributed to the national American
,arac:er. The American is re-
sourceful. He has initiative and
is full of latent possibilities. AS
Kipiing says, he

Home to the instant need ofthings.' >
If he undertakes a new job he
uses mis- mind upon it, applies the
principles of his last work, so far
as they are applicable. figures it
out and becomes master of it.
Great eff f:iency doubtless aris-
es from the drilling of men to
some one set task. But it is not

which comes fr4;n his innate
adaptabilty and The use of his
reasoning powers.

Our Exemption Boards

One special class of our citizens
has done patriotic duty OF the
highest Importance. They have
not had much publicity nor have
they received very much praise.
We understand that they are now
to be disbanded in their official
capacity, and we feel that a word
of appreciation is due them. We
refer to our exemption boards.
Their service has been a diff
cult one, calling for quick dis
elimination and excellent judg-
ment.- Many of the men ap-
pointed have carried out the work
at the sacrifice of their own pri-
vate interests. They have had
to deal with men of every kind,
rich and poor-the patriot. the
Stacker, the conscientious objec-
tor.
Yet how little criticism of them
there has been-how few accusa-
tions of unfairness!s The over
whelming majority of these me n
hav. performed their duty with
strict honesty. great fairness and
infinite patience and kindness.
Many young men are grateful to
the members of their exemption
board for fatherly interest and
kind advice. The influence of the
boards has been strongly for
good.
The nation owes a debt of graf
itude to these real and unostenta-
tious patriots.

Simplicity of Life

The war has taught us many
things and among them to dis
criminate between the essential
ana non-essential things of life.
We have found that when in.
spired by anxiety for a great
dominant cause we could easily
dispense with many things which
had always seemed to US mere
necessities and comforts. From
a great civilization of luxury and
e ltravagance we were transform
ed to .body of people wiling to
sacrifice new cars and furniture
and to wear last years suits for
the one purpose of winning the
war. /"
Now the war is over. but the
obligation of remuneration is still
upon US. We have practiced it
for the sake of our sons and our
country and we must continue
for the sake of humanity.
We could not sit at a banquet
with any comfort if there were
starving people looking in at the
window. And we will come to
the punt where we cannot in
dulge in luxuries and feel that
whole nations are starving and
suffering on the other side of the
world.
Perhaps this will lead us to
new simplicity of life. When
Europe is once more self-support
ing. we may still feel inclined to
lay aside the non essential things
W. may realize that simplicity in
our aims and in our lives will
really In the end give US more
satisfaction than a restless striv-
ing for luXuries.

come forward to excuse the Kali

Careful scrutiny of his recent

serves pity rather than blame.
This lets out Wilhelm. The
