IT, as Emerson said, Sensible men
and conscientious men all over the
world are of one religion" this is the
expression of that religion.
The Red Cross is Humanity united
in Service.
1t asks no mans opinion; only his
need.
Black or White, Friend or Foe, to
the Red Cross there is no difference;
it only asks: who is Suffering"
And to him it goes.
The Red Cross is so Efficient that
Governments recognize it; so Pure in
its purpose that whoever wishes well
his fellow men, desires to help it; so
Clean in its administration that the
most suspicious can find no fault in
it.

CALL FOR HIGHEST ABILITY
Time Coming When All American Cit
les Will Employ Managers to d.
rect Civic Affairs.

A prediction that within few years
this city would adopt the city manager
plan Of government was made by Rich
ard S. Chllds, in introducing Henry NJ.
Waite, city manager Of Dayton o., as
the speaker at the second Saturday
afternoon luncheon Of the City club
Of New York. Mr.. Waite, who took
over the direction Of the affairs of
Dayton on January /, 19l4-after Gen.
George Cocktails had refused the post
outlined to about 80 members what
he had done to earn his $4,000 year
ly salary. Mr.. Waite, the dean of city
managers, was referred to as illogical
ly, New YOrks first manager"
"Out in Dayton we run our munich
pal affairs this way" said Mr.. Waite.
"Flrst, the people elect a council or
commission Of five members, whose
duty II is to look about through the
country and locate q man who might
capably direct the city's affairs. When
one such is found, the commission
questions him about his experience and
so forth, In much the same way busl-
ness man does when he hires a clerk.
II the applicant measures up to the
standard, he is hired, and he, In turn,
selects the heads Of the five depart
ments Of finance, law, service, safety
and welfare.
"In selecting the heads Of depart.
ments ability and experience and not
politics count. Personally / don't
know Of what political persuasion my
departmental heads are. In this way
we ure able to get many men who 9th
erwlse would not think Of running for
office, under the old conditions. For
example, the head Of the welfare de-
partment Is a clergyman, thoroughly
capable to study out the park and rec
reation needs of our population.
''Take our finance department as an
example OF the efficiency obtalnable
under the new plan Of government.
We have our finances so systematlzed
that Tor any other cltlzen-can tell
It a moment down to a cent Just how
any Of the subdivisions Of our budget
stand"

Elephant Causes War.

Believing that Buddha lived again
in the body OF q white elephant, a de.
~vastating war was fought in the six
teensh century between Siam and Pegu
for possession of the unhandsome
animal. For a generation the struggle
continued, and in it five kings came to
the throne. only to die together with
thousands Of their subjects. A white
elephant IS exceedingly rare. but is
simply an albino and by no mean
s~now-colored. In 1883 Barnum, not
from a religious motive, brought one
from Siam at a cost Of 5000 80.
Frequent mention is made of eleph-
ants in the history of ancient wars.
The Roman armies fed at their first
appearance in their early conflicts with
the Carthaginians- but by the use OF
torches soon learned to break up a
charge of the huge beasts. Alexander
encountered them in his conquest of
Asia.
The elephant looks stupid and his
brain is small for his size, only as large
as a mans, but 1t is highly developed,
and few animals are more intelligent.
They are used as beasts of-burden in
India, where they are regarded with
superstitious awe by their drivers.

DON'T COMPETE WITH UNCLE SAM.

June IS as the day on which every per-
son in the land should sign a pledge
with himself to save and to invest in
war stamps.
"Thoughtless expenditure Of money
for nonessentials uses up the labor of
men, the products of the farm, mines
and factories and overburdens trans
portation, all of which must be used
to the utmost and at their best for
war purposes" the president explains.
with the desperate need of the civil
hzed world today for materials and
labor with which to end the war, the
practice of individual thrift is a patri-
otto duty and a necessity"
The great essential in the purchase
of war savings stamps is that every
cent invested in them be removed from
current expenditure for nonessential
things. For every 800 worth of stamps
the government wants it's people to re-
lease 500 worth of labor and material
from peace production to war produc-
ton. The money could have been Dor
rowed from the people much easier in
the sale Of bonds but bonds, too often
are purchased by loans out of accumu-
lated capital, whereas the governments
need Is for its people to quit buying
things so the government may use the

things people are willing to go without.
The president says that The man
who buys government securities trans
fers the purchasing power Of his money
to the United States government until
after this war and to that same degree
does not buy in competition with the
government"
Don't compete with Uncle Sam when
he IS at way !s the slogan of the war

SPEAK ENGLISH.

Governor Harding's proclamation
should settle the language question
to the satisfaction of people generally
Every one living in America ought to
learn the official language Of the
country. lie would expect to learn
German if he took up residence in Ger
many or the speech of any other
country which he chose as an abiding
place. There will never he q better
time to begin using the common
tongue than now when every loyalist
is likely to have the same hopes and
aspirations. The language that Wash
inston and Lincoln spoke is good
enough for any man living and deriv-
ing his substance from American soil.
Now it isn't John Jones or Bill Smith
or somebody one may not like very
we'll advising the use of English, but
the governor of this great state, who
gives good reasons for the employment
Of the tongue. One may avoid suspicion
by using English. The new espionage
law is rather stern and persons m
ploying an unfamiliar language are
more likely to be suspected Of dis
loyalty than those who speak the COM
mon language of the country. Much
trouble may be averted by needing the
governors proclamation.

If ships are to win the war the

ships. After a year of preparation in
which time new ship yards have been

carpenters and common laborers rave
been trained to make ships we are now
beginning to launch the ships. The
yards on the Pacific coast alone are
now launching one ship a day which
Is one-third the total toll of the sub
marines, The time consumed in build
ing ships has been reduced from a year
which was the average before the war
to twenty-seven days at a new yard
at Camden, y. J..
We now have s~eventy-two yards
making steel ships, eighty making
wooden ships and six making concrete
or wood and steel ships; a total of 1853
ways on which ships can be con-
structed and when all of the yards
have speeded their production to a fair
average of forty days to the ship we
will be turning out fifteen t. eighteen
ships per day in the United States. as
many ships per day as the subs can
sink per week.
While we are doing that England,
and Canada and Norway and Japan
are building ships too. When this war
is ended there will be more ships afoat
than there We're when it began but
the Stars and Stripes will float over
most of them.
