DOUGLAS WRITES ALL MUST GET
 BUSY AT WORK
Makes Plain Statement of Conditions in France and Necessity of All Doing Something.

J. s. Douglas. known to his legion of friends throughout Arizona as tJim my" is now in France and for some months past has had a "clOse up" Of the war situation. Douglas left Ari zona for France to do his bit" but this idea scOn left him and as hap pens to all when they arrive at the scene of the conflict. he is doing his dsmnedest"
 The following letter to a friend of his in Phoenix expresses forcibly the situation as it appeals to one at the front:
 Paris. March I. 1918. Mir. Shirley Christy,
 Phoenix. Arizona. U. s. A. My Dear Shirley:
 We actually have in Paris about 20.- OG0 non-prCducing Americans. The French are too considerate and cour- teOus to suggest that they be cut out Of the country. and our government is too weak to attend to it, consequently I deplore the arrival in France of Americans who are not strong. and able to work and willing to work and to make it worth while being here for the French food which they consume. We are all beginning to feel the pinch of food restrictions.
 know that you will feel that under present wartime conditions and the general seriousness of the situation I would be untrue 10 myself to do any thing exceDting talk to you straight from the shoulder, but it is high time that our country was fully realizing the fact that we are in a real war, and if is going to take the endeavor of all our people to win it before men of your age and mine become too old 10 have very much satisfaction in the winning Of it.
 am of the opinion that no man should work excepting on the Drodnc- tion of war materials CT provisions consumed by the world in the winning of the war Construction Of all kinds that is not directly necessary for the manufacture or production of such ma terials or provisions should be stopped without delay and every one should make mp their minds lthat whether they are at home or here they have to work 10 The utmost of their capacity in order 10 grind the face off the hoche and assist our allies at the earliest possible date 10 uphold the principles which we have believed in so long. and yet for which. during the last 10 years, we have not been willing to shed our blood.
 Pardon this long diatribe. but you may perhaps he interested in the per sonal slant which have on conditions as they are SO evident from this point of view.
 Kindest regards 10 you all.
 J. S.. DOUGLAS.

II would particularly urgs up
on the young people who are leav-
ing our High schools that as
many of them as can do so. avail
themselves this year of the op-
portunities offered by the col-
|leges and technical schools to the
end that the country may not
lack an adequate supply of train
ed men and women.
This significant statement
came from tine lips of President
Wilson a few days ago. 1t maps
out clearly the course Of duty OF
high school graduates. The
American College has contribu-
ted so much to this great war
chat it must not fail the govern
,nent now-but it will fail if our
high school graduates fail the
college.
The call for trained men was
never so great. The National
Armysis commanded by io.tO)
college trained men. The re-
quirements for the Aviation were
two years in college or its equiv
alent. 21,O0 physicians have
been called for and only 5000
have responded. Every chemist
of note is working on war prob
lens.
High school graduates are noe
running away from the war
when they go to college; thev are
moving toward it in the most et-
fective way. Success or failure
in this conflict will ultimately de-
pend upon our supply of trained
men. The call of American coi-
leges is call to service.

Howard on the job and his criti-
cism was that roads should be
wider. This was met by the re-
joinder that we had high author
ity. that the broad way led to de.
struction. Zuck offset Howard's
suggestion that it costs less to
keep up a narrow road and it was
safer travelling in it, Wilson in
terposed with the remark that in
these strenuous times we should
be satisfied with whatever our
wise board of commissioners gave

Washington Letter

ls..
BY Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado
istrict.
Some of the most influential
of War Department officials are
pleading with Congress to change
the draft age from 81 to 81 to 10
to 45. This will revive the old
controversy about conscripting
boys and the bit,erest kind of a
fight j. almost certain to result.
The subject was thrashed out
when the original draft act was
before the House. At that time
some Of the members Of the Gem
sxaa staff advocated "beardless
war'' but the House would not
listen to ,he suggestion and in
amendment to lower the draft
age b 10 received only six vo, 8
out Of 435.
OF course. there have been
mighty changes since that vote
was cast. At that time many
members Of Congress did not be-
lieve we would send troops to
Europe. Within a few weeks W.
will have y million men in Franc. !.
and millions more must be sent
over to support them.
Congress stands ready to do
what is necessary to win the war
but the majority of members
still feel that compulsory militia
~ service should be confined to
those who have reached their ma
iority and are therefor full. fedg-
ed citizens. The seed corn of
the republic" as Lee ono. de-
scribed the boys of the South.
should be conserved. They will
be needed to reconstruct the
world after the war.
President Wilson has not indi-
Gated his position on the question
but it may be taken for granted
that h. will prOtect tie bows aS
long as possible.
PUTTING THINGS ACROSS
It is amazing how the selfish
and interruptions are attempting
to use the war as q cover for
questionable schemes. This is
especially noticeable in Washing
ton where the opportunities are
more numerous and attractive
than elsewhere. Here is a COM
paritively unimportant example,
selected ut random from many
cases.

lily considered with perhaps a

pay of policemen stationed at
street railway crossings within

gested tina, this sum had hereto
fore been paid by the street rail-
way companies. Why saddle II
on the government?
He was assured ttat in all 9TH
