WANTS TO REWARD
THE DRAFT BOARDS
BY HARRY 3. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, July lS.-PrOyost
Marshal General Enoch Crowder is
wrestling with the hardest problem
that has confronted him as head of the
draft organization.
CrOwder's hobby Is justice. He
wants a fair deal and square dea
for everybody. II was his insi9tencc
for more even Justice in the applicl'
ton OF the draft law that resulted IL
the regulation for classification of men
on industrial and dependency grounds.
1t was this same insistence on jas
tice that caused him TO reject promo.
tion to lieutenant general. He refused
to accept for himself a promotion in
recognition OF the success with which
the selective service law had been ap'
pied. on the ground that he had been
assisted in the work OF the draft by
men just as sincere. patriotic and
haIdworking. VINO would have no share
in the recognition thus bestowed. I'm
iii some award for services rendered
could be given these men, he would
accept nothing for himself.
But how TO reward these other men
that is the question? What fair and
Just recompense can be given the
men on the local and district boards,
on whose application of the rules laid
down by Crowder the success Of the
draft really rests?
On these boards are many patriotic
men OF independent means to whom
the idea Of a money recompense for
their services would be abhorrent,
They want their services on the boards
to be part of their contribution to
the war.
There are. also. on the other hand,
many men-just as patriotic. just as
able and efficient-to whom the
monetary sacrifice OF their work on
the boards imposes a hardship. They
must live and maintain their families,
yet the work oy which they earn their
living has been given up or subordi.
mated to their work for Uncle Sam.
How, between these two groups. to
make an award that will be Just and
fair to all is pulling Crowder. He
hasn't got the answer yet. but those
who know him best declare he'll get

Washington Officers Think

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. July ls.-Word that

II is the first extensive counter blow

the enemy is pressing down the Marine
valley and through the woods west
OF Rheims with the evident purpose
of cutting off Rheims and forcing its
evacuation. II was thought here on
the face of early advices that the
french counter stroke was designed to
draw off German reserves heretofore
held for the purpose OF pressing
through the gap in the French position
,!oEg the Marne and from that river
eastward toward Rheims.
American forces probably are en-.
gagged to some extent in the counter
blow acting now or the right flank
Of the forward movement as they pre-.
viously held fast on the left flank OF
the defense against the German drive
which opened last Monday.

FOOD FOR HEROES
New York Sun1

The New York apple crop of 1918
will be six times as large as the yield
of 1917. The fruit promises to be of
fine quality. What is to be done
with it?
Usually a heavy crop means that
thousands of barrels of apples will go
waste for want of pickers, packers,
storage loom, because a glutted mar
ket reduces the price to point at
which the grower can make no profit,
or transportation facilities are made
quate to carry the apples from the
orchards to those who long to be
their ultimate consumers. Is this to
be the case this year?
Our New York State apples are the
finest in the world. The best speci-
mems of this splendid fruit grown
here have all the beauty of those that
come from remote sections of the
country, and in flavor excel the prod
ucts of all other soils. The sweet
cider made from them is a beverage
fit for the gods; brought to the prop
er degree of hardness, none but the
hardest headed should tackle it.
Dried apples have. suffered from
the attentions of the humorists. In
tIlSSC NdS NlAClCl plO6l CSo 10 IC-
corded by giving high sounding
names to familiar things and pro-
cesses. they are disguised as dehy-
drafted. Dried or dehydrated, they
are a worthy, palatable. wholesome
food. They are not attractive to the
sight when they come to the cooks
hand. but when that most important
of all artists has finished with them
they form the pie that is the food of
physical and intellectual giants, the
prop of statesmanship, the solace of
respondent lovers, the boon of SOL
der and sailor.
We must conserve the apples of
our daddies' farms. dry them out,
save them against the cold and bar
rem days of winter. Let 10 dis
couraged horticulturist waste an
apple; poke up the Commissioner of
Agriculture for help in the orchard.
in the packing shed and in the dry
ing kitchen. We need those apples.

A STEADYING HAND

The ex-soldier is now free of all
supervision and with his handicap
offset only by schooling in a new
occupation. he must face the COM
petition and drive of life and sink
or swim by his own efforts. Then of
all times he needs a steadying hand
on his shoulder, an encouraging
word in his hour of depression. To
overdo this help, on the other hand,
to weaken his moral fiber by ill
considered kindness is to do him the
worst of injury. To help truly and
constructively at this time is a task
calling for the clearest common
sense, the utmost devotion, the great
est fund of practical experience in
the delicate work of social adjust
ment which can be mustered and
applied.
