ROBERTS, Metcorologist | MAKING HIM SICKER There is solid ground: for ‘the ‘re- ports that Turkey is panic stricken over the general progress of British troops in Asia Minor and the pros- pective fall of Jerusalem. Kvery foot of the land which the British are taking in that part of the world is holy Jand tothe Moslems. To lose the holy city of Jerusalem would, in particular, be gall and wormwood to anti-Christ, and not to be compen- sated for by any decoration with which the’ sultan’s “Christian dog brother," the Moslem misery. Capture of Jerusalem may not be important, directly,: as - a: military achievement, but its effect upon the morale of the whole Turkish people would be incalculable. Go to it, General Allenby! You're a good ways off and not much adver- tised, but you may yet “crack” Ger- many. Bavarian newspapers are arcasm at King Ludwig because he cats three square meals a day. Tut, gee! what's a king for? A HARD QUESTION Fate will soon thrust a hard ques- tion on many an American woman. Thousands of those who bravely sent their soldier-boys overseas will some day have to ask themselves a particular question: “Shall 1 wear mourning for him?” For this question the woman of this country should find a national answer. There should be established a uni- versal use—or disuse—of crepe and other mourning garb for soldiérs fall- en in the war, Fortunately for Yankee common sense and rational maternal sen ment, the first mother who had to face Fate's terrible query has set all other women a noble example. ‘lice Dodd of Evansville, Ind., n, James Bethel Gresham, was the first’ American soldier to be killed in a foreign trench, has.refused to wear the conventional trappings of woe. From her residence in a middle west town and from her position of inde- pendence between the rich and the poor, Mrs. Dodd exactly represents the average Amcrican whose son goes forth to wa Her decision is notable as a worthy one upon which to establish a national custom. The wearing of mourning is in noj way a measure of grief for the dead. Jt does not even satisfy any natural human instinct for somberness in fu- neral garb. Purple, red and white have been monrning colors in certain lands and centuries. Obviously, the. government will never regulate.the, mode and manner of expressing personal sentiment. But could the-women of the country. make ; A APOLIS, 810 Lumber | | equal to the net profits, under an agreement. | good can result from it, if it is taken Wilhelm, might try to salve! disclosed that, in many communities, poking | Pa |mocracy than by sacrificing their | mourning garments as superfluous and inadequate symbols of grief? The hero who falls in France has made his life a gift to his country and to the world's freedom. Yet we women are accustomed to speak ofthe men slain in battle as “our gift to our country!” Let us try to think what dying in| the full strength and beauty of their} manhood meant to them. Let us try | to appreciate their gift to us. Then, feeling thi mothers and wives of America, we must strip off our black toggery as a cheap and tawdry affectation; and knowing this, the only honor we can pay a dear dead soldier is a proud smile for the glory of his spirit, and tears, in all humility, for our profit in the new liberty for which he laid down his life. Isven the fellow who fights and runs away can return from the war with honorable scars. He will have been vacinated against typhoid, small-pox and gangrene, anyhow. FEAR GERMANY The Swiss are greatly perturbed over reports that one of the fighting nations is about to “demand permis- sion” to send troops across their country. We guess it's Germany. “Demand- ing permission” sounds German, any- way. With the examples of Belgium and Greece before them, the Swiss will be wise in mobilizing whatever they've got that hasn't already been! mabilized. Once used for war purpos- es, the fate of any would-be neutral is certain. ——<—<—<——== IT 1S ABOUT THE LIMIT We thought we could identify all the teering ut one now comes from New York city that's new and of high class pungency. ‘The Army and Navy Bazaar in the’ metropolis, Oct. 27, took in $71,475 for “comfort kits.” Auditors now make out a net profit of $754.96. The bal- ance went for exposition space, news- paper advertising, salaries, etc. the managing director hauling down a sum They won't hang any New Yorkers for such rotten “war work,” for this “working” of the patriotism of the peo- ple for’ profit’s sake, but some public! as a,warning, by, communities through- out the country ‘unselfishly engaged in promoting genuine war work. GOT TO GET THERE, SOMEHOW ‘The Food Administration propos to drastically enforce wheatless and: meatless days upon those hotels, res-| taurants, boarding houses and dining cars that haven't yet discovered the beauties in cutting out wheat and meat on two days and doubling prices on everything else. Inquiry of retail meat dealers has while the hotels, restaurants, etc., have bought much less meat for meat- less day consumption, the private consumer has purchased nearly as much as ever. Evidently, in these in- stances the individual consumer has, as usual, relied upon his neighbor to perform. Maybe more universal meat- lessness and wheatlessness can be reached by prohibiting sales of such food on certain days. Some London diplomats, still cheer- ed by thé obsession that Germany can be starved, are chortling over the re- duction of the flour allowance to 7 Ibs. per week. Plenty! if the 7 pounds are put into certain dumplings or dough- nuts we have met. It is a psycho- logical fact that many folk think they are being fed when chewing on any old thing. Washington warns thus: “Beware of spies! Don’t talk about what you have done or are going to do. The enemy has ears every- where.” All right. We're mum. But what are enemy cars without tongues? And ; it’s up to Washington to swat the | tongues. We've wronged ‘ poleon” Villa. Besides the full beard we previously referred to, he’s wearing hip boots, a | Panama hat and a flannel shirt. One more victory, and he may also wear pants. Pants are not necessary to a | general in Mexico, but they are al- ways becoming to a “Napoleon.” Three cheers for the heroes of France! Three cheers for the people! that's ready to die for liberty, equality | and fraternity! | New York city reports a decided decrease in drunkness. Oh well! if | New York is going back to John Barleycorn, he might as well emigrate and be done with it. Since April, incendiary fires have destroyed enough food-stuffs to ration an army of 300,090 men for a year.

American Transports Have Exciting Time in Passing Through the U-Boat Zone GEN, GROWDER COMMENTS ON GONSCRIPTION “We are committed to this war,” the general continued, “and we ought to fight it in the most effective fash- jon possible to us. The necessity of raising an army is paramount. The rit ase in the labor supply must be adjusted in some way other than by shutting off recruitment. - That it can be adjusted there is no question. “Phe problem is not to maintain the labor supply of agency and industry intact. It is to make withdrawal of the men in the most scientific manner possible. 1 think we have done thi and what is offered here is the basis for a nice balance between our two necessities. “There are those who say that we must win this war in the economic | field, with the inference that the rais- ing of an army is a side issue. 1 say to you that with any greater inroads into the fields of recruitment of our army, we shall be sending inferior men to the field. That if this nation is not competent to make the slight adjustment necessary: to compensate for this scientific selection, then it is not competent to enter this war. Effectiveness in Field. “Certainly no man can urge in this way of trial and sacrifice that this nation should deliberately neglect to make itself effective in the field of military operation on the plea that our greatest contribution to the cause of humanity is in attaining an eco- nomic supremacy. To-do so would be to relegate the United Statés to the role of the sutler for the fighting na- tions. “We shall, of course, increase our production. We shall become more ef- fective as a nation and we shall sup- ply our new armies and do all that can be expected of us to supply the armies of our allies, “But we shall not, under that guise, confine our participation in this con- flict to the taking of bread and the sharpening of the swords of other men. Won Militarily. “This war will be won militarily on the devoted field of France. Doubt- less it. will be won by the side which is able to place. behind its army the prevailing ounce of provision. ‘But the blow that shatters the German line and extinguishes autoc- racy from the face of the earth will be the blow of a man’s right arm and not the insidious stroke, of a shrewd trader. : General Crowder pays high tribute to the zeal and patriotism of. more than 30,000 men who-compose the ma- chinery of the selective ‘system. ‘With but 10 weeks for the task, the first national army increment of 687,000 men was drawn, he says; by a nation “moving breathlessly, supported by the governors of the statés and by the members of the selection: boards, with a “patriotism, devotion and. unselfish zealthat' reniains an inspiration.” 3 First Increment. “But the ‘system itsélf’ was lack ing,” he adds. “We -hacked the first increment of our armies with a broad axe because there was time for no greater refinement. We must pare future increments away with greater discrimination. The selective system must be carried to its logical ‘conclu- sion and we must meet Prussian cf- ficiency with a greater American effec- tiveness.” With this text, General Crowder out- lined the underlying motives of the new classification system for regis- tered men with which the boards are about to.begin. In doing so, he as- sured board members that the great burden which rested upon them in the first draft had been reduced and the demand upon their time cut down. “His Picture in the Papers” will ve shown tonight only at the Orpheum.
