Recent crop yields have been un

Conservation at home with recent
months has made it possible for the

who lords it over the Haggin young

THE ARMY

The army at home and abroad
is a great cosmopolitan club. At home
it is a national club. In Europe it is
an international club. In these clubs
are to found men of all ranks, degrees,
abilities, and fortunes ranged side by
side. Never within the times of re-
corded history has there been such a
training school for democracy.
The boards and departments for Sc
lecting these men for the duties for
which they are best prepared and for
testing their physical and mental fit
ness are producing such a fund of in
formation regarding the men of the
country as has never been dreamed
of before the days of the war

CALL FOR BRITISH SUBJECTS
Recruiting Office Tells OF Convention
With United States.

The British-Canadian Recruitin,
Mission, 922 Main street, Kansas City
makes the following appeal thru the
Missourian:
THE fourth of August was the
fuorth anniversary of Great Britian's
! entrance into the world war. British
! subjects in the United States have
therefore had four years in which to
make their arrangements and join
their country's forces. A large num-
Der have not yet come forward. In
England men up to the age of so are
being drafted into the fighting forces.
Upwards of 100000 British subjects
have volunteered to serve the flag, out
Of an army of ~ million.
What answer have British subjects
between the ages of 19 and As to give
for remaining in civil employment and
in many cases actually benefiting by
the fact that American men have gone
to fight for the cause of humanity?
"On July 81 the recruiting conven-
tion between Great Britain and the
United States will come into force and
the period for voluntary enlistment
terminates on September %.
During this period of go days, all
Britons and Canadians between the
ages Of 20 and A, inclusive, will be
exempt from the American draft and
can enlist at any recruiting depot of
the British-Canadian Recruiting Mis-
sion, regardless OF the fact that they
may have taken out first United States
citizen papers or have been classified
in Glass 1.
During this period of so days all
Britons and Canadians of 81 years of
age and those between the ages of 81
and A, both inclusive, will be required
to register on date fixed by procla-
nation of the President and 81 days
after registration men of these ages
will be liable to American draft"

THE NORMAL LIFE

1t is the fashion nowadays to rush
into patriotic duty with a fever fol-
service. War work of all kinds is in
demand, There is danger of forgetting
that the normal life must go on. In spite
of the heavy demands the war service
makes on communities, those who are
not trained for war work should keep
on at their daily tasks.
The unrest which has taken people
in its grasp has a great deal to do
with this desire for war work. Peo-
pie want smething different. They
do not seem to realize that the con-
tinuity of the normal life is above all
the most important duty for those who
are not particularly trained for war
work. They cry, Get on with the
war;" Don't bother about things as
they used to be. Don't stop to think.
Just rush ahead with the war.
That may be all right, but it seems
to some thinkers that the conserva-
tion OF the ordinary life should occu-
py thought also.
Many thousands of men are going
into military service. The disruption
and disorganization due to these de-
partures from the community and the
community's work cannot be cured un-
less those trained in home work, stay
at home and take up the work where |
those who left dropped it. The nor
NAL life must go on. The boys who go
to war, must come back to the |
life that they love and find it
unchanged in the good part and chang
for the better in the undesirable part.
Just as surely as those who go into
national service are patriots, are those
people patriots, who want to go Just
as much, but stay at home, filling the
gaps.
