ne Postoffice Department should NOT
overlook the fact that great hit could be
made with the people, now that the war is
over by retiring the purple postage stamp

pink stamp that used to carry our letters
would be much more popular.

Not just with giddy cries
For those gay stripes of red:
Theirs is the bitter red
Of blood that must be she'd.
Fling the flag to the skies,
But not in the SNUG surmise
That those stars and their blue
Prove Heaven fights for you:
Heaven fights for the true.
Think not that without pain
.Once-and again-and again.-
The world is free:
Victory cometh not vicariously.
Tightening be in thine hand
And knowledge in thine eye.
Straghtiy and firmly stand,
Head high:
So live, so fight, so die.
That without let or shame
You dare at last to ask in His own nan

The. End of the Draft
Why the Local Boards Can Best Handle the Return of
Soldiers to Ciuiliun Life
By Henry w. Taft

any difficulty in making the local exemp-
tion districts the basis for the formation
of such units and if this were done it
would become easy matter for the mill
tary authorities to reverse the process by
which they received the enlisted men from
the local boards and TO return them to those
boards for ultimate discharge. AS the local
boards had to deal with the sometime dis
agreeable duty of inductng men into the
army, it would be quite appropriate that
they should be concerned with the more
gracious task Of returning them to civil life.
Industrial Problems
(3) The local boards, having become eff
cient in dealing with the men inducted from
their neghborhoods, could more easily and
effectively than any other agency, deal with
these same men upon their discharge. They
not only frequently have personal ac-
quaintance with the men, but the question
nares kept on file for ready reference
and show facts III relation to the regis
trants which it ought not to be necessary
for other board to reaxamine Fur
thermore, the local boards better than any
one else know the industrial needs of their
respective localities, and they readily
determine many questions arising in rea-
ton thereto before the process of discharge
from the army becomes complete. In this
connection it would also be quite possible
to associate with each local board a repre-
sentative Of the United States Employment
Service of the Department of Labor, who
would be equipped with comprehensive in
dustrial survey of the country and could

obtaining employment.
Machinery Available
(4) There are other ADVANTAGES in the
above suggestions which would tend to OBJ
viate some difficulties which have attended
the enforcement of some of our war meas
ures. l refer particularly 20 the war risk
insurance law. The working Of this law,
particularly in relation to alotments. has
been far from satisfactory and has caused
much complaint 1t would have been better
if Congress had provided at the local
boards for some official charged with the
duty of requiring each registrant, upon be-
ing lnducted into the army, to make the
allotment of his pay provided for under the
law, and of assisting him in taking out in
surance. As a matter Of fact this was all
attended to in the camps and in many cases
the results were far from satisfactory. It
IS not necessary here to go into the causes
for this dissatisfaction. but it is enough to
say that by the addition of very little ma
chlnery at the local boards they could deal
with all matters of insurance and allot-
ments promptly and efficiently. Physical
examinations will also be necessary, and
the existing medical boards in the local
board district could be readily made avail
able for that purpose Finally the legal
advisory boards could also be resorted to
for gratuitous legal advice which many of
the discharged men will undoubtedly re-
quire

New-York tribune., 1918-12-03

A BRITISH pubicist has recently said
~ that the two miracles of the war
were the raising Of an army of over
100000 men in America and the successful
transportation across the ocean Of more
than two thirds of that force
The greater part Of our army was raised
by compulsory draft, under which over g.,
100000 of young men were taken from civil
life and moulded into a military force, and
this was done without a suggestion of dis
order and almost without trace of dscon-
tent. In a republic, where enforced mill
tary service is always delicate subject to
deal with, the achievement of the United
States remarkable, and could only have
been successful by the exercise of Il high
degree of statesmanlikc provision. The re-
suit obtained should not now be marrcd by
a failure to enact leg islation under which
our soldiers may be promptly and satisfac-
toriy returned to civil life, whence they

listed men should receive their discharge as
near as possible to the place of their in
duction. To carry out this idea, a rear
rangement of the army will become neces-
sary SO as to make military units with ref
ercnce to the residence of the men com
posing them. There would not seem to be

Neighborhood Action

The fundamental idea on which the selec-
tive service system was based was that it
should be administered in small localities
by local boards composed of civilians who
were neighbors of the registrants 1t was
carefully arranged that their proceedings
should not have miitaristic aspect, and a
too drastic administration of the law was
guarded against by providing fer appeals
to the district board and to the President
Registrants were made to feel that it was
their neghbors who were to determine
whether they ought to be put into the SER
vice of their country and that they we're to
be guided by principles of justice and
equality. While the army was created by
means Of the Federal power the exercise
of that power was not accompanied by of
fensive evidences of centralized militarism.
In considering the subject, the following
facts should be borne in mind
CD Local boards, through long expert
encc under the successive drafts, have gen
orally come to be very Efficient The power
which they have exercised has given to
them a sense of responsibility and a pride
in the performance Of their duties, and thew
are now generally regarded with respect
They have taken a pride in the regstrants
of their districts and frequently have gath
cred them together for mutual expressions
of good will, even organizing escorts for
registrants starting for the training camps.
The mutual feelings of friendship and con-
hdence thus engendered have naturally not
ended with the departure of the men to the
front, and upon their return will revive

.POSTOFFICE HAS
 NEW WAR STAMPS
 FOR 1919 THRIFT.

New war savings stamps of the se- ries of 1919. payable January l, 1924, smaller in size than those of the 1918 series and with more the appearance of currency, have arrived at the Bis bee postoffice and will be placed on sale Wednesday, January l. So far as is known at the present time the thrift stmps of the new issue will be sold only from the money order win dow at the postoffice.
 With the opening of the new year the authorized war savings headquar- ters of the district will be closed and different societies for the selling of thrift and war savings stamps will cease to exist. Efforts will be made, however, to continue the campaign for investment in these securities throughout the district, with view to encouraging the thrift idea already given such stimulus through the cam. paigns of the past year.
 The thrift stamp to be sold during 1919 is to be exactly the same as the 1918 issue and is to be pasted in the same type folder, but the new S5 ma turity war stamp is but one-half the size of the old issue and is blue in col or, bearing the picture of Benjamin Franklin, and made payable on Jan uaTy l, 1924. The certificate for the new war stamps is to be reduced in size and will be more highly engraved to more closely resemble currency.
 Thrift stamps of the 1918 series, ac- cording to Postmaster L. R. Bailey, purchased during the past year can be traded for new 1919 war savings stamps, at the same value as those Of the 1918 issue
