EACH TO HIS OWN TASK

A general atmosphere of restless
ness, of lack of concentration or ap-
plication to any one task and OF
tendency to drift along with the tide
is apparent throughout. The mill
tary preparations with their cataclys-
NAL effects on ordinary life are
solely responsible, though the oppo-
site should be true. People over the
whole Nation see the whole Nation
Iaboring toward one end, the success
full waging of war, and see them
selves as agents in this work. All
ordinary activities have been subor-
dinated to this greater labor. lndl-
viduals see their occupants automat-
ically changed for some war work,
directly or indirectly, they see that
the Government will make demands
on them for sacrifices, and will COM
mandeer their labor for a certain
branch of industry if need be. And
a loss of personal initiative results
with many of these people. Others OF
course are affected in the opposite
way, and strive all the harder in their
war tasks and of their own volition
change their peaceful vocation for
one that bears directly on our mill
tary preparation. But there surely is
no reason why all Americans should
not have the attitude Of these people,
for of all times, the present is one
when greater efforts and tireless, con-
tinuous efforts are a necessity for a
successful elimination of the world
war.
No matter what the work of a per-
son may be, whether he is engaged in
an industry of peace times or in one
which is the outgrowth Of our war
preparation, his work is absolutely
necessary for the welfare Of the Ma
ton. With a few persons in each
community, taking this Indifferent at
titude, the total number over the
whole Nation would be immense. The
efficiency of each of them has been
materially lessened, for a man can
not work at that which his mind does
not indorse The willing workers Of
the Nation have to compensate for the
lack of efficiency in these persons by
oHr Nf haf
The United States now has ap-
proximately a million men under
training for service in France. These
men all are supported by the labor Of
those who are left behind. Should
any of them fail in their duty of pro-
viding for those who are fighting or
will fight for them, the burden of
what these should have done is
thrown on those who have not shirked
or become careless or dissatisfied
with his task The work that is be-
fore the United States should be ap-
parent to all. With the laboring
power of this Nation decreased by a
million of the fittest specimens OF
manhood of the Nation, the work for
those to do who are left would
normally be heavy but remembering
that all of these men have to be pro-
vided for, the task assumes truly
gigantic proportions.
