AN AMERICAN OFFICER ON
the fighting front in France, writing
to one of the national magazines, says:
eve want no males over here, wheth-
er they be Is to 70 years old, unless
they are in khaki. And we don't
want khaki slackers, either. Send us
over freckled-faced trained nurses who
won't vomit at the sight of blood, but
for the love of Mike deliver US from
those eccentric females who strut
around Paris with spiked trench
canes, trench boots, khaki skirts, Bus
ter Brown belts and other parapher-
MALTA" This is timely. Too much
money is being collected from the
people to promote freak service IN the
army. We need it for thrift stamps
and Liberty bonds. Apply the work
or-fight principle to the self-ap..
pointed entertainers" and many real
fighters and true servers will be dele
gated to the battle zone.

THE o. P. is IN RECEIPT OF A
book entitled "Why Prohibition" by
Charles Sickle, most interesting and
Informative volume dealing with
subject second only to the war. Mr..
Stelzle, who is a member Of the In
ternational Association of Machinists
of long standing, handles every phase
of the prohibition subject in most ad-
mirable and convincing manner. The
volume is printed by the George IL.
Doran Company, New York, and the
net price is $15O. For those who want
the latest and most important infor-
nation on the liquor question, we sug-
gest copy of "Why Prohibition" for
it is thoro-going presentation of all
aspects of the liquor problem by
man who has spent several years MAX
ing an extensive study of the sub
ject and who is a recognized author
ity on general social problems. We
quote from the preface: America
needs patriots-not only those who are
going to the battle line in France, but
all men and women who will strength
en- the hands of the boys who have
gone to the front. Our greatest prob
lem is that of waste and the greatest
waste is the liquor traffic. To
strengthen America by precept and
practice is a distinct obligation rest
mig upon every citizen Of this repub-
lie. The facts presented in this book
are the results of a careful study COW
ering a period of years. 1t is hoped
that they may be of service to the
valiant fighters who need ammunition
to batter down the bulwarks Of booze"

81 FEEL so STRONG THAT /
can hardly restrain myself from bowl
ing over every man / meet upon the
street against whom i ever held a
grudge," remarked a printer on one
of the daily papers, who has passed
the meridian of life. Being over the
draft age has not deferred him from
entering the preparedness class and
thereby hangs a tale. A few months
ago this certain typo had an argument
with a composing room shopmate
which led to blows and the unpre-
pared printer was sent to the floor for
the full count. He then entered an
athletic club and took a course in
physical culture, biding his time. An
other argument arose and the former
belligerent had to take the count. All
of which goes to show that at home
as well as ,at the fighting front in
France, physical preparedness spells
the difference between victory and de-
feat.

HAROLD KOUNTZE, VICE-PRES-
ident of the Colorado National bank
and chairman of the State Liberty
Loan committee, has made application
for service in the naval reserve flying
corps and has been accepted. He ex-
poets to leave Denver in few days
to take up his new duties in defense
of the government, having rendered
his resignation with the Liberty Loan
committee this week at a meeting OF
the loan leaders of Colorado, Wyoming
and New Mexico. Mr.. Kountze will
carry with him the best wishes Of q
host Of friends in the business world
and organized labor movement. The
great success with which he has con-
Quoted the three Liberty loans in
Colorado, going far over the top in
each instance, is a record not ex-
celled anywhere in the country. Re-
Gently John Evans, provost marshal Of
Colorado, president Of the Interna-
tional Trust Company, was called to
Washington for higher service with
the national army. The unselfish pa
triotism of such men as Mr.. Kountze
and Mr.. Evans does much to bind the
tie of friendship between the men of
wealth and the men Of labor in this
