TRADE UNIONISTS who are en-
deavoring to hinder the govern
ment by strikes and labor disturbances
should read and adopt the patriotic
spirit contained in this editorial which
appears in the Missouri Trades Uni
onist:
There is but one union to fight for
above all else, and that is the Union
of the United States Of America. The
future of trades unions and other
American organizations Of the people
depends on the success Of the plans
OF the American government. Strikes
and other disturbances at this time
can but distract the attention of the
American people from winning the
war. Patriotic workingmen should re-
alize this and for the future freedom
and peace of themselves and their
fellowman should make all else sub
sidiary to supporting Uncle Sam and
keeping peace in the nation for the
good.
The boys in the trenches are not
framing up to "lay down
On the job" and embarrass the gov
srnment-neither should the men in
he mines, mills, workshops, in the
or in the munitions fac
.ories.
Don't be traitors to the boys cover
here"

Twas the night before Easter, and
down in the cellar, barrel was placed
by strapping big Teller. And a wee
little mouse, who lived thereabout,
saw leak in the barrel and some
thing run out. Now the barrel held
whisky, but this little guy had been
raised in Idaho and knew nothing of
rye So the little mouse tasted the
stuff that was wasted, and he liked the
sensation-it made him feel gay. "I'll
just get enuf of this awful good stuff,
before that big bluff comes and takes
it away" And when the wee mousey
had filled it's wee skin with so much
of the liquor no more could get in,
he gave one big jump to the top of
the keg, cooked his head to one side
and waived his right leg. I'm as
brave as lion; I'm as big as cow.

be no difficulty in securing an abund-
ance of members by PROSECUTING.
The churches already existing are full
of members who could qualify. The
church is in danger of obliteration,
however. Its members claim that they
owe no allegiance to this government,
that they ask no protection from the
flag. That being the case they should
be run out. There isn't foot of land
in the United States that isn't under
the protection of that flag and no
man should be permitted to occupy
a foot Of our soil who does not ac-
allegiance to the flag while
he stays under its folds.

DRAFTED QUAKERS
ORDERED TO CAMP

New York, Feb. 6.-Announcemen
was made yesterday by the District
Draft Appeals Board that members
of the Society of Friends or "Quak-
ers," the Plymouth Brethren, and the
Seventh Day Adventists will be GER
titled for non-comhatant service under
the draft regulations. They will be
sent to the camps, but will not be
called upon to fight.
The decision to recognize the anti
war views of these sects was reached
by the board after the Rev. E. Edward
Young, pastor of the Bedford Presby-
terrain Church in Brooklyn and a
member of the appeals body, had rec
commended that allowance be made in
their behalf.
Theodore F. Dumoulin, secretary to
the board, said the body had refused
to classify as conscientious DIRECTORS
members of the Assemblies of God,the
Seventh Day Christians, the APOSTLE
Church and several sects of lesser
membership.
The board members also decided
that an officer of the Salvation Army
cannot be exempted as a minister OF
religion, because he cannot perform
marriages or administer religious rites
DR.. Young, to whom all questions
involving issues of religion are refer
red, said the board members are "only
endeavoring to comply with the law
and the regulations"

There is one more Point on which
I wish to lay special stress, speaking
not only to my Socialist comrades,
but to all our British friends, what
ever party they may belong to. I fire.
Quently hear people repeating: I'VE
English will fight for Alsace-Lorraine
because France demands Alsace-Lor-
raine." Others will go even further
and say: ut is enough that our
French Allies demand Alsace-Lor-
raine to determine us never to lay
ed that country"
We can but deeply feel such a deli
cate expression of complete friend
ship and of unconditional loyalty to
the bond of alliance between the two
nations. Would it be possible to show
more unreserved confidence? But if
Frances aims were unjust would the
British people be bound to take the
same attitude?
Surprising France wanted to annex
part of Germany, would the British
people agree? France does not claim
Alsace-Lorraine only because she is
her own, but, by claiming Alsace-Lor-
raine, she demands that justice shall
prevail. The question of Alsace-Lor-
raine is not merely French question;
| it is an international question, in
which mankind is interested.
Alsace-Lorraine kept under German
rule means permanent violation of
| right in modern Europe. 1t means
that just peace, conformable to the
right of nations, has not been secured
1t means that the reign of justice has
not superseded the hegemony of bru-
tai force.
1t is not only because the soldiers
of the Marine and those of Verdun, by
their heroic sacrifices in defense OF
our common civilization, have deser-
we'd to be rewarded by the restoration
to France of her national unity, that
Alsace and Lorraine must go back tc
