II should also like to say to those
who have recently subscribed that we
have just been advised by the Paris
committee that many of our children
have been obliged to evacuate their
homes during the last German drive.
There may be q delay in some cases
in hearing from them.
II should therefore like to assure

whose oflce has also been under

to keep in touch with these unfortu-
nate refugees. Their payments will
be held in Paris until the new ad-

Boys and the Draft.

To the Editor Of The Star:
note that you also advocate the
extension Of the draft age for mill
tary duty. May woman voice her
opinion on this subject?
believe that the draft age should
be extended. but in one direction
only-to take in older men. At this
stage Of our participation in the war
It seems to me to be grave national !
mistake to consider the drafting Of
boys eighteen years OF age. A boy
Of eighteen is at least three years
too young to be placed in a military
camp which is to prepare him in a
few months for real fighting on a
matter from military drill. exercise
and discipline for their own value in
the development of youth.
A boy of eighteen Is at develop
ing stage mentally as well as phys
ically: the abnormal life of a war
development for life: give the boy a
wrong viewpoint on life; 1t is sending
the boy out to do the hardest kind OF
mans work without fair training.
Three years from today the boy Of
eighteen, giyen q chance to develop
far greater economic value to this
country than he could be three years
hence with the abnormal training Of
q war camp and battlefield for school.
It does not seem necessary at this
stage Of the war to take the boys
youth and throw 1t into the vortex.
Much consideration is being given to
Reconstruction Of men who have been
and are to be physically and mentally
disabled by the war. Should we not
look to 1t beforehand that we do not
disable our perfectly sound lads OF
eighteen and nineteen and twenty by
forcing them into the war before they
have attained their full growth or re-
ceived their full mental traininKf
In my opinion 1t is sheer expioita-
ton Of Innocent ignorant and unde-
veloped youth to use the lad Of eirht-
cen on the battlefield; q crime aEainst
nature and against society to take ID
unfair an advantage Of our boys be-
fore they nave been given q taste of
entities.

Notes Whole-Hearted Cooperation
THE progress and development of

golden opinions from all with whom

Gently applied in France and In this

have placed the engine in the very

like to point out that . considerable
interval will and always must elapse
between the experimental and COM

Every engine, even the best design

cape a period of what may be called
'teething troubles before the motors
can be produced on anything like a
large scale. The liberty engine Is ac-
cordlngly an example Of what the al
