The Militia Company

The value of militia company in commun-
ity was demonstrated at Cambridge City Sunday
night when the guardsmen were called out to
guard the public utilities against damage from ir-
responsible persons or German agents.
Citizens Of Cambridge City would have been
in state Of alarm all night if the company had
not been in existence and ready in short time to
safeguard the citys interests. The very pres
ence of the company in the community gives it
a sense of security which would be lacking if
there were no trained men there.
In troublesome times handful Of trained
men under competent leaders can work wonders
in creating sense of security and in quelling
disorder. Residents Of Cambridge City cannot
be accused Of being panicky or easily frightened,
and their decision to call on the militia company
to guard the water works and electric light plant
was the dictate Of prudence and common sense.
The kaiser's agents have computations in
blowing up utilities to cripple war work. Sus-
picious actions Of three seen about the plants
of Cambridge City gave enough cause for mill
tary protection. It pays to take no chances.
And quick action on the part Of communities to
show determined method of dealing with cri-
sis is the best way of proving to German agents
that Americans will not be caught sleeping when
their lives and property are jeopardized.

The Cost of Soldering

War is destruction. This basic principle is
noticeable from the very moment the recruit is
mustered in, and is to be seen in every movement
he makes until he receives his discharge papers.
Statistics recently compiled by the war de-
partment give details regarding the individual
cost of a soldier to the nation. The initial equip
ment OF rookie costs $130. If he remains in the
United States the government must spend an
other $125 the first year in maintaining this
equipment. If he goes overseas the cost for
year is $216. This does not include the cost of
rations.
Gen. E. r. Wood, acting quartermaster gen.
eral, when he asked for an appropriation of many
millions of dollars for the purchase of supplies,
gave the following interesting recital of costs :
Here is list of what man gets when he
goes abroad: Two pairs of wooden trousers, one
cap one denim coat, two wool coats three sum-
mer coats, three winter drawers one pair wooden
gloves, two spiral puttees, two flannel shirts two
pairs Of field shoes, five pairs of heavy wooden
stockings, five pairs of white wooden stockings
one pair of denim trousers, three summer under
shirts, three winter undershirts. Instead of the
light russell marching shoe that is used in peace
times, you issue this very heavy field shoe, which
costs $3.50 The old army shoe used to cost not
quite So"
Equipment for the $500, 900 men now in the
United States army has cost the government
$325,OOO,OOO. BY January l, there will be 4,OOO,-
600 men under arms and the government will
have spent 81, PAL, 100000.
These figures tell where part of the money!

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Value of Human Life

The slaughter of men on European battle
fields has cheapened our estimation of the value
of human life. Until 1914, the death OF dozen
persons in an accident was viewed as horror OF
gigantic proportions. Today such tragedy
evokes little sympathy in our hearts. War has
dulled some of the nobler elements of our SOUL
The catastrophe at Peoria which sent scores
to an untimely death did not make the deep i'm
preston on our minds that the Eastland disaster
did few years ago. 1t may be suggested that
the Eastland death toll went into the hundreds
and only scores were killed in the Peoria disaster
But granting the difference in the number Of
dead the fact is that few Of US gave the Peoria
calamity that measure and sympathy which we
would have accorded it few years ago.
Thousands go to their death in Europe daily
and millions more are constantly in danger Of
death, so argues the average man. Why worry
about few score of homes that are mourning
for loved ones? Why be overly sympathetic for
isolated cases when thousands of homes over
there are draped in black?
This conviction is wrong one. Our hearts
should not become calloused and hard under the
stress of war times. We must keep on cultivat-
ing the finer sensbiities of our natures and nur-
turing the nobler instincts of our souls, other
wise our hearts will become unresponsive to the
blessed calls of charity and love.
Surely the French women have had every
occasion to become cold and Indifferent against
suffering and death, and yet we find the finest
flowers of human sympathy and kindness bloom
ing on the soil Of those torn and frayed hearts.
Never do they say, "The graves are becoming too
numerous, never can we keep alive the memories
of the thousands that are gone, never can we
decorate and care for all the graves that are be-
ing added to the long list let's nurse our own
grief and forget the Others"
Far be it from them to let the greatness of
the catastrophe dwarf the magnitude of their
loving kindness. Not only are they caring for
the graves of the French boys, but they even
deem it high honor, indeed to keep green the
graves of the American boys who have gone into
the golden sunset of the west. In their hearts
are enshrined love that embraces all who have
suffered and died.
That's the spirit we must cultivate. Neither
the extent of the disaster nor the number killed
should numb our capacity for pity Our SYM
pathy should be in proportion to the grief.
