This is the mayors ukase on the
subject, written to Commissioner De-
laney, of the department OF plant and
structure, who is the city's liveryman:
"Your letter of August 20 received,
in which you state that magistrates
in the night court nave the use OF au-
tomobiles to take them home.
81 want you to discontinue the use
of city automobiles by any magistrate
in the city from the municipal garage.
1 was a magistrate, sat in the night
court in New York, and l never found
any necessity for having a city au-
tomobile and never was molested by
anybody. A magistrate gets a good
salary, and if he wishes to ride home
in an automobile let him hire one"

YOUR RED CROSS
An Army Wihout a Gun
Bv MEREDITH NICHOLSON
OF the Vigilantes.

THE Red Cross is the greatest instrument OF
mercy the world has ever seen. Noble as the
service of mercy and helpfulness was IN Civil war
DAYS, the Red Cross surpasses it immeasuraby not
only in the range and variety Of its effort but IN
efficiency and effectiveness
The Red Cross is we may say, the arms OF the
mothers of the world reached out to their sons to
bind up their wounds and comfort them. The Red
Cross is an army uwthont q gun that wages war
onlv upon suffering and heartache Where the
flag of the stars goes there the banner OF the f<ed
Cross must fly beside it. we watch our boys 60
forth to war with spirit Of hopefuness because we
know that this great agency Of humanity presses
close behind them; that its work is not incidental
but the intelligent directed effort of one OF the
most marvellous organizations ever contnved by
American genius
We have all contributed to the Red Cross; we
shall be called upon again to contribute to ITS
funds, again and perhaps again. And we Will
respond again and yet again! For this is war for
the defense Of civilization, and we Of great, tree
splendid, glorious America, have every intention
that it shall be fought with the army OF the Red
Cross solidly supporting our soldiers.

FIVE MILLION IN CLASS ONE
Uncle Sam Need Not Draw On Other
Classes to Raise His Fighting Force

Washington, May 17.-Many moro
men than Uncle Sam will be able to
train, equip and transport to France
within the next twelve months arc
still available from those registered
for the first draft and from men who
have become Of age since June, 1917,
and have now been brought under tha
selective service.
In fact, with no further change IN
the selective service regulations, we
can increase our army within the next
year, if necessary, to 4,S00,0OO or s.
100000! And this without going out
side of Class l, except for skilled ar
tisans and mechanics needed for nom
combatant services.
The recent figure of 100000 men,
set as the probable strength of our
army by the end of this year, has led
to the considerable conjecture as to
the imminenee of an increase in the
draft age limit.
The fact is, however, that 100000
men can be mustered without exhaust
ing half the Class 1 men registered
last June and still subject to call. For
our army today is less than 100000
short of that number.
The total number of men in the
army as of May s, including regulars,
federalized National Guard and those
called under the draft, is 2,1ST,S28.
This includes 554,397 irl> the regular
army, 40s,952 in the federalized Guard
and 1924 ,479 called under the draft.
Total registration for the first draft
was 9,5S6,50S. Experience to date has
shown that Sd per cent, or slightly
over one-third, of these men are eligi-
Die for service. The remaining two
birds, because of dependency of fami-
les, industrial exemptions and physi-
al disability ARE not eligible for pres

On this, basis of 81 per cent, the

KAIsEa's CoNsoLING WORDS

In a speech to the town council of
Aix-la- Chapelle a few days ago the
German emperor endeavored to cheer
fsaint-hearted Germans by describing
the devastation in France. He asked
them to console themselves with the
thought that they had escaped such
horrors, and to '.be satisfied with their
let and bear patiently The hardships
and privations of war" Then he
added:
"The offensive goes well aheadA Al
ready 100000 English have been put
hors de combat and LOGO guns have
been captured. Everywhere the
French must help. Our opponents
have had-a bad time They deserved
nothing else. Our task in the west
will be accomplished, bat we must be
patient. We cannot settle in Il day
armies of millions. We shall obtain.
oar ain. Difficult tasks aresbefore us
but to deal with these we have Ell
fcient workers.
TIE Washington Post suggests THAI
the German emperor sings tune quite
different from the paean which heI
chanted ii March, when he took per-
sonal command of the armies that hadl
reached '.the turning point of history" >!
At that time he assured the German;
people that the supreme hour had
come, when the mailed fist was to|
strike the fatal blow. In answer to|
the rising clamors of his people hei
promised them early and ovarwhelm-
ing victory over France, England and
America, which would compel them
TO make quick peace on Cermany's
terms, and enable the German people
TO fatten themselves on the spoils Of
the whole world. He attempted to
make this promise good by assembling
all his forces and striking with all his
might, but he failed. The offensive
that began March u ended within a
week with a loss of 100000 Germans.
1t Melted Germany some of the de-
1asSatel ground of which the emperor
smoke so feelingly. There was not
loaf of bread, not a potato, not piece
of sausage III the whole area, Three
hundred thousand Germans lost, and
not scrap Of sauerkraut in return.
That was the turning point Of history,
but it turned the wrong way for Ger
many.
Our cotemporary calls attention to
the fact shat the imperial assassin is
approaching The breaking point. With
his enemies rising IL enormous ire
sistible masses in the western world,
with the nations of Europe uncoh-
ouerable and gradually cHhausting his
armies, Hohenzollern now hears
the unmistakable unGertone Of warn
ing from his own people. telling him
that the end is approaching. He must
defeat the world or die. He must
satisfy them with victory or with
his head. He has slaughtered their
millions CT sons. They are beginning

hoods nay postpone the reckoning for
a few days or weeks--a mere moment
