Later the towns mentioned, includ-

allied aviators.
Essen, the home of the great Krupp
armor. gun and munition works, is on

There are also to be surrendered

The Importance of the Industrial re-

even that Of the fortifications of
Metz and Strassburg is completely
discounted by the iron region OF the
Bassin de Briey, in Lorraine, which
beginning on the Belgian and Lux
emburg frontiers ascends the Moselle
to within a few miles of Pont-a-
Mousson. This mining region with an
area of 225 square miles was cut in

tions May Help Many Young
Men to Find Themselves


The mothers and fathers OF
the nation, who have been Won
dering whether they better make
a lawyer or a civil engineer of
their son, have welcomed the
"Questionaire" sent by the War
department to all men of draft
age. At first glance it is a fear
some document, especially if one
still has a vivid remembrance of
examination papers, but its
friendly purpose soon becomes
apparent. One might search for
a lifetime and never find a better
exposition of the difference be-
tween the American way of do
ing things and the Prussian sys-
tenn. Germany says &C.," and
"Come :" "Do this" or est Yer
boten." The United States asks
what have you done?" "What
can you do?" "What would you

s'Would you be willing to take
free evening school instruction
fitting you for service in the
army before you are called to
camp?" is an invitation which
many a lad whose schooling was
nipped in the grammar school
will accept with alacrity.
The dominating idea back OF
this wonderful record, the most
comprehensive attempted since
Doomsday Book, is the classifi-
cation of the young manhood of
the nation in order that it may
be turned to the best account,
and it brings with it opportuni-
ties that might otherwise never
have come to these millions of
young men. All the young fell
lows who have been drudging
along with little prospect of adj
vance or Improvement in the flu
ture, perhaps disconnected with
their lot and resentful because
they feel that they have never
had a chance, may know now
that Opportunity is knocking at
the door.
When Uncle Sam asks, "What
can you do we'll ?" he relies upon

nothing may be overlooked -

Many of the questions can be
disposed of by a simple Eyes" OF
'no." If the man doesn't belong
to a non-resistance church he
doesn't have to tell when it de.
cided against militancy, nor
when he Joined. If he isn't a
farmer he doesn't have to ex-
plain the difference between a
desert claim and a stock ranch.
If he is a farmer it will not
take long to demonstrate just
how necessary he is to the pro-

deserted highway, and stretch

neneath it where tens of thous-

by the aviators of the enemy.
Yet this is one of the simplest
of many such undertakings.
