USEFUL OCCUPATIONS.

Americas full man power is to be utilized to
win the war. Every man within the draft age
must engage in some useful occupation before
July first or join the army. The day of the
Stacker has passed, absolutely, and the last word
also has been said for those who up to the pres
ent have been practically exempt in favored but
not definitely useful occupations.
Not only will chronic idlers be affected by the
tically every branch of effort and service which
can be dispensed with, or where older men, not
useful in the actual work of the war, can be sub
stituted.
It means, in effect, that every man within the
draft age, whatever his previous present
standing or connection, must either work
fight" he must do his share to win the war, he
must subordinate his personal interests and do
his whole share in the one great task which con-
fronts America and her allies today
At any time in the future, far near, when
more man power is required in any branch of
the government for the effective prosecution of
the war, the provisions of the order will be
tended to meet the need. In fact it may be &C
cepted as one more evidence of the real and far
reaching earnestness behind President Wilson's
ouncement,-"Force, force to the utmost"
A man may be at the bottom of Class 1, or
even in Class A, but if he falls within the regula-
ton and refuses to take useful employment he
will be given new number that will send him
into the military service forthwith. Local boards
are authorized to use discretion only where they
find that enforced change of employment would
result in disproportionate hardship upon de-
pendents.

United States pensioners living in Germany
and Austria, who have been drawing money
from the American government by reason of
their services in the civil war or for other
reasons, have had their allowance cut off be-
cause of their residence in enemy territory. Pay
ment of pensions will not be resumed until
peace is declared, Congress has been told, al
though allowances are sent regularly to those
residing in the countries allied against Germany
and Austria or in neutral lands.

Among the many suggestions made to in
crease the nations food supply, no mention has
been made OF a certain Chinese dog which is
destined from its birth for human consumption.
This dog is fed principally upon vegetable food
invaluably specially prepared, and this gives the
animals flesh a peculiar flavor and aroma.

BE GLAD FOR HIM.

The United States is proud or the splendld
young officers who are being turned out in this
country to lead America to victory. And deep In
the hearts of all of us there abides love for
the private the lad that goes to fight in the
ranks
There are hundreds of thousands of him today
in France strafing the Hun in the great battle
and there are thousands of him in America
straining at the rules that hold them in check,
longing for the day to come when they may go
across and to do their part for their country.
The Journal has been permitted to read let
ter from young American boy, a private in
the ranks, and because no comment add to
the eloquence of that young patriot, it is given
here in the words that have dedicated him to
the cause of freedom,-words which voice the
sentiments of so many young Americans, officers
and privates, which give hope for the salvation
of civilization against the hordes of the Hun.
The letter says, in part:
"Your letters received yesterday bring
ing a message from the dearest mother in the
world and the Grandest Rebel of them all.

AMERICANS FIGHTING
ON DIFFICULT GROUND
German Prisoners Hilarious Upon
Hearing Their Country Had
Asked for an Armistice.

The territory over which American
troops now are stcrming is described
in official dispatches reaching here
as the most difficult for such an
advance of any of the battle line in
France.
The desperate efforts being made by
the German staff to check the Amer
lean advance is attested by the ap-
pearance of fresh divisions every day.
On one occasion an attack hardly
had been launched when 200 Germans
marched forward in a body from the
Kriemhilde line, with arms upraised,
crying, "Kamerad." The Americans,
on promptly taking them in, informed
them that Germany had asked for an
armistice. The Germans became hilari-
Gus with joy.
Later when fresh German prisoners
arrived at the cage, those who had
preceded them jeered the new arrivals,
saying:
You asked to be taken out Of the
fighting, and the Americans have
taken YOU OUT
