There is before the Senate resolution call
ing for an elaborate survey into the military and
industrialy productive man power Of the coun-
try. Now comes far more direct and telling
step towards the end which that survey would
serve, and which must be accomplished before
we can say that the full force Of the nation has
been enlisted for the winning Of the war.
The Provost Marshall Generals order, which
provides that every man not engaged in some
really useful occupation must work or fight,
touches on men between the ages Of Fl and
3l---or, rather, since year has gone by since
the date Of registration, u and b. But in
that group it renders dependency exemptions
valid only W hen the exempted man is doing In
stead of military work, work tending to enhance
the nations military strength. The order en-
phasizes the need Of reaching idlers. But i'd
lei" at time like this, is only comparative
term. The clerk in hat store, for instance, if
he is Of military age, cannot obtain exemption
on vocational grounds. Selling hats, according
to the ruling, is something that men above 81
can do as we'll as those below 81, and the law
will be applied in this light. All positions that
are considered "unuseful occupations can be
filled by men who are beyond the draft age,
thus leaving all young men who are now hold
ing these positions and who are within the draft
age eligible for farm work or military service, or
work in munition factories, ship-buidng yards
and numerous other positions which are con-
sidered useful and which tend toward the win
ming Of the war.
While General Crowder's order is drastic, it
is hailed with delight. 1t is just the kind Of a
law that is needed in this country at this time.
Nothing that has been done thus far toward
solidifyiing the nation for the purpose In hand
compares with this step. 1t is not that young
men have shirked military service or that they
must be driven by fear Of service into harder,
more valuable work. It is that thus far we
have, as a people, drawn far too easy line be-
tween military service and freedom from service,
meaning absolute release to all who do not wear
the uniform. The entire nations attention is
suddenly concentrated on the one thing which
is needed for the utilization Of the American
war spirit into an effective war machine.

 It is a difficult thing for the average American to realize that this country is really engaged in the World War. Located as we are three thousand miles away from the actual firing line, it Is but natural that we of all the allies should be most out of touCh with the actual fighting conditions in France. Our boys are DOW in the trenches and SO the experiences of one who has faced the Germans across "No Mans Landa should be of the most intense interest to us all as typical of what our own soldiers are now meeting and will be forced to meet in eyer greater numbers. The Connecticut State Council of Defense OO0SANOAo bVbo4 AOEtuuU10 lu U0kuK able to present such a speaker in the person of Sergeant D. J. MoKenna at the Comique theatre next Tuesday, at ?. m. Sergeant MoKeDna, of the 10th Canadian Infantry, was one of the first Canadian boys to. offer his service to his country in the fall of 1914. He was immediately rushed to the British front in France and fought through such notable battles as Ypree and Somme. After year and half of trench life, under German fire, he was seriously wounded by an explosive German bullet through both thighs. This was in September, 1916. He had just been picked up by British stretcher barriers and was being carried to the front line dressing station when a German shell exploded near him, killing both stretohel barriers and throwing him completely out of the stretoher and infliCtinp additional wounds. This resulted ir a years confinement in the hospita
 and his being omitted for actiys seEviCe. I
