lnducted Men Must Give
Up Cards Before Leaving
City For Cantonments

Local boards were authorized this
morning that when they accept a
registrant for induction for service
in some special branch of the serv-
ice, they must secure his certificate
of final classification before accept
ing him. Where his certificate of
final classification is not to be Sc
cured, the registrant must give a de-
tailed and accurate report of how he
deposed of it. This report is sent
to the Adjutant General who in turn
sends it to the Provost Marshal Cen
eral.
This measure is necessary to pre-
vent the illegitimate use of the cer-
tificate b yanother registrant. The
certificate of final classification is the

strength and blood builder,
but do not know what to take.
There is nothing better than
organic iron-Nuxated Iron
for enriching tho blood and
helping to increase the
strength and endurance of
men and women who burn up
too rapidly their nervous en-
ergy in the strenuous strain
of the great business compe-
tition of the day.
People need more iron IN
their blood than was the case
twenty or thirty years ago.
This because OF the denim
eralized diet which now Is
served daily in thousands of
homes. and also because OF
the demand for greater re-
sistance necessary to offset
the greater number of health
hazards, to be met at every
turn. Therefore you should
supply the iron deficiency In
your food by using some form
OF organic iron. Just as you
would use salt when your food
has not enough salt.
Organic iron is one OF tho
greatest OF all strength
builders. If people would only
take Nuxated Iron when they
feel weak or run down, In
stead of dosing themselves
with habit-formlng drugs.

erages, there are probably
thousands who might readily
build up their red blood corr
puscles. increase their physl-

that are almost continually
around us. 1t is surprising
how many people suffer from

The marines have been in two hundred
and forty engagements since the Spanish
American War. And" says Lieutenant
s. A. Hatcher, who recruits for them here,
'they haven't lost one scrimmage!"
That is noble record. The marine has
q maturity of poise and a professional
balance that many soldiers and sailors
lack. He has roughed it in all the far
places of the world, and it is TO his ever
lasting glory that the terrible fighting that
distinguishes him has invariably been done
for the sake of order and the rights of the
weak. The L. S. NJ. C. is known all over
the earth as the finest fighting organiza-
ton in existence. The test of the fighting
spirit of any community is in the number
of men it can furnish to this American
corps d'elite. Such knowledge as this
should be adequate to enlist the aid of the
entire city for the marines in the recruit
ing campaign which begins on Bastile

can persuade the War Department to let
us have the steel the work will be pushed
This elevated line and the Broad street
subway are no less important than the
New York rapid transit lines which have
been completed. We have made such con-
cessions to the Government by tenn
porarily abandoning the other lines that
in common decency it should give priority
orders for much steel and cement as
are needed to put the Frankford elevated

THE FUTURE OF THE FLEETS

ENDWlN \. HURLEY. chairman of the
" United States Shipping Board, in his
address here yesterday, took occasion to
predict the future uses of the great fleet
now building In American yards. 1t was
a vivid picture that he drew-of the great
American fleets carrying decently made
American goods and the ideal Of the square
deal to the four corners of the world.
American commercial methods abroad,
and especially in South America, have not
always been representative of the ideal
which is now uppermost in this country
But American business never descended to
the medtated villainies that have charac.
terized the procedure OF some of its COM
petitors The war happily is training the
American business man to a new interna
t!onal point Of view.
The business men OF nation rather
than its ambassadors are the real inspira.
tion of popular opinion In foreign coun.
tries. American business, prior to the
war, permitted itseifnto be represented in
South America by too many provincials
disposed to look with amused contempt on
any one who was not Of their own habits
of mind and any one who didn't happen to
know their language Germany, more
suaVe and far more clever, penetrated the
Latin'American republics and. under the
mask of adaptability and good manners,
prepared for the ruthless exploitation Of
half the American continent.
The new fleets will serve nightly in the
future if they carry. with America n.made
goods, the true ideal of Americanism and
men able and willing to carry that ideal
into practice.

Hindenburg was at best talkative old
soldier with genius for military strategy
of a particular sort. Events on the Rus.
sian front in the early days of the war
from obscurity. He became the individual
in whom the German Government shrewd-
ly dramatized it's own military, ego for the

credited to Hindenburg were won, doubt
less by more alert and obscure COM
of eXaltation is disposed to seize upon one
human figure which it holds up as
mirror and in which it believes it can see
It's own likeness as thing of spendor
All Germany liked to imagine itself as
Hindenburg was supposed to be--strong
determined, magnificent, assured, unbeat
able.
Crowd psychology is a science in Berlin
The Government encouraged all the grim
delusions about Hindenburg. The mood
in which German Imagination exalted the
head Of the army was the mood of self
worship The people held the old marshal
in awe But it has been no secret that
most of the army officers held him in
amused contempt.
