TR.EAcHERY IN MEXICO

Mexico. in breaking off diplomatic
relations with Cuba, presents a question
of motive which as yet has not been
satisfactorily answered. Mexico at
temnts TO explain by saying that, by
reason of Cuba being involved in the
war against Germany, certain questions
arise which are perplexing to the Mexl-
Gan government, and because of this 1t
. deemed hest for Mexico to withdraw
from Hanava her charge d affairs, and
20 refrain indefinitely from e-supply-
ing the post
Though diplomatic ruptures between
second-class powers do not always pres
ape war, it is felt that Mexico s action
toward Cuba is in reality aimed at the
limited States, the guardian OF the
Cuban republic, and is due to German
in fluence in the Mexican nation
The presence, for many months Oh
,oroa numbers of American soldiers
along the Mexican border is indicative
of the national administrations under
standing of the Mexican situation, anu
;ts readiness to effectually cope with 1t
when conditions warrant.
The Mexican people are not to be
trusted and with German treachery at
work among them, furry against the
1rn;ted states should not come as sur
prise.

WORK OR FIGHT.

Work or fight is the edict issued to
the men of draft age in the United
States by Provost Marshal General
Crowder A registrant who has been
granted deferred classification because
Of dependents, or for other reas ms, is
not to be allowed to take advantage of
the government which has granted him
this classification. If he is not called
for the army, he must get job at
work that will be of benefit to the
country in the war. In other words, he
must be producer, or engage in an
occupation deemed essential IL the
winning of the great war
The public will approve the action of
the provost marshal general III ruling
that men not contributing to the wei
fare Of the country Immediately change
their occupations, or get into the army.
Although the provost marshal general
mas not issued a full list of occupa-
lions he deems on-essential, and will
not do so, except as particular cases are
brought before him for ruling, the So
called non-essential occupations, or oc-
equations in which women could replace
men, include persons engaged in the serv-
ing OF food and drink, or either, in pub
lie places including hotels and social
CLUBS; passenger elevator operators and
attendants, doormen, footmen and other
attendants of clubs, hotels, stores, apart
ment houses, office buildings and bath
houses; persons, including ushers and
o'ner attendants, engaged and occupied
IN and in Connection with games, sports
ana amusements, excepting actual per
formers in legitimate concerts, operas
VI theatrical performances; persons en-
Poyed In domestic service; sales clerks
employed in stores and other mercantile
establishments.
Men engaged in any of the foregoing
occupations, though they may have been
granted deferred classification, or may
nave drawn late order numbers in the
uraft, cannot thus hope to escape mill
sfy service. If they fail to change
occupations, they will be taken into
the army.

SAWDUST

Portland Telegram: Among other
economies brought forward by the war
is the increasing use of sawdust. Not
only have many uses been found for
waste sawdust, but it is being manu-
featured commercially.
If one enters the sample room Of the
modern manufacturer of sawdust he will
observe on shelves rows of glass jars,
stoppered and standing mouth down
ward. There are reds of different
shades, browns and yellows, to say moth
ing of the blacks and the whites. In
these finer forms sawdust is made of
perhaps sixty different woods, of vari-
GUS degrees of fineness, for a variety of
purposes.
Sawdust, combined with oil, is put up
in packages for use in sweeping carpets,
instead of the old time scattered tea
leaves Sawdust from various non
resinous woods is employed in the smok-
ing of meats, and sawdust in the form
of pulp is used in the manufacture of
dynamite.
In combination with cement, sawdust
of various kinds and colors are used in
the construction of special flooring,
such as that used in hospitals. Such
flooring, made with the material in
plastic state, can be laid out in a single
piece, without cracks OF points, and so
made germproof. 1t is. furthermore,
Z" silent" and easier to tread than tile.
Some curious uses are found for the
better kinds of sawdust. One Of these
pertains to the Spanish cedar sawdpst,
which is of extreme lightness. 1t is en-
rloyed for packing cheap chemicals con-
tanned in glass and shipped for long dis
tances.
Manufactured satinwood sawdust is
employed in the preparation of paste
boards for drawing purposes. Sawdust
of briarwood is reworked for special
uses. Lignum-vitae sawdust is put to
some chemical uses.
The heaviest sawdust is that obtain
ed from ebony. 1t is black in color,
though there are traces of tiny white
fibers.
Holly furnishes the whitest of saw
dust. This is made into very fine
pulp form, is used for floor material
and centers in the composition in GER
tain. grades Of wall paper.
There is manufactured sawdust call
ed ''lemon" which is not derived from
the wood of the lemon tree, but gets its
name from its color.
A great many houses are partly con-
structed of sawdust, is in the instance
of a form of brick made from this val
liable by-produet. Mortar containing
large quantity of sawdust is used.
Sawdust is also pressed into various
forms and objects and finished in good

of course, applies only to men of draft
age. In this connection, therefore. il
can not help but be particularly annoy.
ing to all those who are trying 10 het,.
win the war to observe men, beyond
draft age, but able-bodied, who congra-
tulate themselves because thew escaped
the draft, and positively refuse either
to 60 to war or go to work.
In providing for the selective service
draft, it was necessary for the congress
TO draw imaginary lines, setting apart
large portion of the male citizens as
subject to compulsory military service.
After considerable debate in the con
gress, it was decided to make the first
draft include men between the ages of
81 and 32 years. Hence many of those
whose ages were in excess of the maxi
mum draft age set by the congress, con
graduated themselves because thew
escaped probable service. And such
type of men who would thus congra-
tulate themselves constitute the same
type that refuses to either fight or work.
Now that the government has decided
to pin down, after July l, all men of
CONSUMPTION age to "work or fight "
basis, it surely is proper that action be
taken to control that element of our
older male population which, if it has a
few dollars in its pocket, does, at the
present time, positively refuse to be
employed.

imitation of oak, rosewood, mahogany
and other high-priced woods. A very
fair grade of linoleum is made of a
composition into which sawdust enters.
The uses of sawdust are almost innum-
erable-it is employed in making gas of
various kinds, pressed into shoppers for
bottles, used in launderies in place of
bottles, used in laundries in place of
dyes.

Judge william Harrison, Of Okla
homa, was the principal speaker and
guest Of honor at large mass meeting
held in Ebenezer Baptist Church, last
Tuesday night. His principal theme
was that what affects one race in this
country affects the other. He said that
If they lynch the Black man, they win
in time turn and lynch the White man,
too. he created wild enthusiasm when
he told of the yslor Of Privates John
SON and Roberts and how they held OF
nearly two dozen Huns, and drawing q
still greater comparison, he said that If
this be true, the entire Negro army
could capture the German army while
the White men sat down and took notice.
The walls fairly echoed as he made this
statement.
