Setting the House In Order

When a man enters military service he has brought him. perhaps for the first time, with sufficient make him realize it. the uncertainty that bosets his future. He does not know how long he will be away from friends and family and from his customary vocation or in what condition he will turn or if he will return at all He hurriedly puts his house in order best he takes inventory of his belonging and his obligations looks ahead little for his dependents and makes provisions against contingencies he has never before given thought. Even if he comes back safe and sound this ordering of his affairs will not only do harm, but will be to his advantage
 But if it is a good thing for the man who is called to the put his house in order why is it not equally good thing for everyone do the same? If the war will force foks-the stay-at hOmes well as the fghters-to and find out where they stand and figure on tomorrow well as today use fu purpose will be subserved.
 This does not that people should defer everything the future and completely sacrifice the present they have but life to live, and youth Cu years of activity satisfaction pass What are extravagances for some people merely forts or necessities for others. An expenditure that Is perfectly justified this year may be luxury next there should be some system in everyones life and everything iA it's proper time What is wanted is a common sense program, or any rate the application Of some sense rather than just drifting without guid ancc control
 If We will all put our houses in order and keep them so from day to day and from month to month this old world of ours will run along much more smoothly

The Class of MT. Alexander

Young MT Grover Alexander is surprised that he has been placed in class A" of the regisrans arrangement which, considering the paucity of popu- laton of the town which he with his residence insures his early induction into the military service of the country. He feels deeply that injustice has been done him.
 Mir Alexander is the most famous of twirlers he is at the zenith of his fame in the game of baseball. He has been shining with increasing brilliancy for three He has recently been held by baseball experts be worth $5O.OOe any club and that amount has been paid for him.
 It should be explained to Mr. Alexander that he has not been especially placed in class A." Under the newer regulations adopted by the provost marshal general with thousands of other young men. Mir. Alexander took his place in class because there was other class for him. He is unmarried man, he is not in any industry which is helpful to the conduct of the war he is not an invalid or inn beetle. If the matter had been brought to the atten ton of the department in time "a special class such for instance as "class DE" might have been created for him and then he would have been Tin a class by himself"
 Mir. Alexander says he is the sole support of a mother and brother. Inasmuch he has for some been drawing princely salaries if he has not saved enough to these dependents against want he has been wastre and $50 month in the army will do him and his relatives much good as the many hundreds of dollars month he has been drawing.
 No doubt many baseball fans will mourn the impressment of Mr. Alexander into military service Baseball will be thereby robbed of many of it's thrills but we have many thrills in this country now with promised, that few less will not be missed. We'll let the Germans have some of them. As a bomb thrower Mr. Alexander ought to take a front rank. Most of the bombs thrown now by the allies fall outside the German trenches where they do no good If Mr. Alexander can maintain as good control of a bomb as he of baseball he can keep the front him constantly thrilled Mir. Alexander is in the class where he belongs

 The senators do not believe that if such neces sty exists it has yet been shown to exist and that such order as has been made may turn out to be blunder Whether not that will transpire blun der certainly proposed in the original order mak ing it effective yesterday morning instead of today That order later revoked. Perhaps it the narroWness of the escape that has made the senate suspicious.

 If the necessity existed for the ruthless cutting of official red tape that time is now when the soldiers in the training camps, in the depth of winter, still in need of overcoats and other articles of cothing And it is a curious commentary upon existing governmental methods that round about method of applying the knife should have to be adopted in the present instance.

 More than twelve thousand of Eng lands eX-prisoners have voluntarily joined the colors and there has been no protest from their better reputed associates. And as for putting these prisoners in posts of danger and compelling them to fight military records will show you that the great trouble is to make them stop fight ing, Suppose you inform your read CTS, for proof, that &le most famous fighting force in the world, an organ iZation that has suffered so severely in this war that it has had to be thrice enlisted, the famous Foreign Legion of France, was made up largely Of Paris apaches and renegades from all over the world, Or, tell how three eX- convicts have won Britain's most cov- eted and rarest war honor, the Victoria cross-how twenty-seven of them have been mentioned in the Official Gazette up to last April-how prior to that time (after which I have no official record) twenty-three have earned the

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
"A Criminal Ieuionv

To the Editor Arizona Republican.
 Your editorial of January 14, on "A Criminal Legion was unfortunate be- cause it's writer may not have been versed in either military regulations or the science of criminalistics and hence passed along much error for others to assimilate.
 Recruiting officers should not be criticized for refusal to accept -pris- oners or those given options of i'm prisonment or enlistment. It is a mat ter of law, in these United States rather than discretion, that prisoners must not be accepted for enlistment unless granted a full and complete pardon.
 You intimate that these prisoner patriots should be formed into "crim- inal legion" to prevent contamination of other soldiers. It is a matter ot figures, not of comment, that more than seven per cent of Florence in mates, have seen arDly or navy service

 The suit is being brought by Pedro Baisa the boys father and next friend, the complaint being filed by Fisher and Dille. The accident oc- cured on November when Arturo was riding with his uncle Jesus Granad on South Fourth street. Their wagon was travelling south, approaching the right of way on the west side of the street. On the north side of the right of way is d close bOard~fence of ap- proXimately eight feet which the com plaint charges obscures the view of the trains running east on the right of way from persons travelling south until they come within a few feet of the track. The plaintiff claims that freight cars were being switched and suddenly an engine released a car without the warning signal and the car crashed into the wagon which was completely demolished. It is alleged | that both occupants were thrown to the ground and dragged along the tracks, some 40 feet.
 Arturo was wounded and bruised, sustaining mental and nervous shock from the injuries it is alleged. A severe head injury caused him to be- come totally deaf in his left ear, the | complaint says.
