Yes, Baron, we understand your feelings. We have met you before. Oh, long ago we met you, in the days of our boyhood. You were the town bully, big for your age, rough of speech, and with a wad of eatin’ tobacker in your cheek. Your greatest delight was in picking fights with smaller boys and jeering at them in their bloodynosed- ness. But one day you set upon a slim, red-haired kid, who wasn’t a particle afraid to carry the fight to you and very. soon you realized that you were in for a sure-enough licking. ‘Say,: kid,” you said, “what we fightin’ for anyhow? You know 1 always liked you. Let’s be friends.” “If you can’t holler:’Nough! any plainer than that,” retorted the red-haired’ kid, “you got’ to take your lickin’.” Baron, your diplomatic language is’ yeadily un- derstandable, but:it won’t do: If you cannot-“‘Hol- ler ’nough'” any plainer’ than that: to the cham-|' pions of decency and civilization, you have got to “take your licking.” ‘ ~ That: old saw “sadder Budweiser” * applies tol: the: Kaiser. ” ‘ ALL AMERICANS NOW. . A Londoner recently wrote to.a London daily protesting because Canadian. soldiers - had -.been called “Americans” in its pages. The editor sol- emnly and patiently wrote a.reply explaining that Canada was as much a part.of North America as the United States, and even a larger part. The point for regret is not that it was neces- sary. for a London nowspaper to explain this to its readers in this enlightened day, but that this distinction of nationality should be made between Canadian goldiers and those of the United Statcs. Of course for purposes of military organization the two armies must be distinct,'but for purposes 6.08 Wilhelm is struggling to keep not only the allied 00 zollern throat. awake with a jolt soon after) to the curse kultw had brought and wrought upon them.

A FARM LABOR RESERVE Business men are today canvassing the city for farm labor reservists; men who can be called to duty in the field if necessity demands. patriotic service that all should offer who are conveniently situated to do so. Farming, the chief of the “essential war indus- tries,” has fared badly in the indiscriminate com- petition for labor. ‘ : It was first to suffer. The fall of 1914 saw the foreign element moving across. the ‘seas to. answer the call of their respective countries, while the great munition factories, to supply the enorm- It is al. ous demands of the allies, were even then draining the eastern sections of farm labor. With the ex- tension. of this demand for labor into the west the pinch of labor shortage before the entrance of the United’ States into the war. With this event came the frantic speeding. u| itic manufacture, the building of, ships, ‘selective | draft, the construction .of: cantonments,: ete., ‘and supply of labor. - ona Eel oe wee * #:,, . © ‘Now, with a warring world looking re Avies with the same spirit. of; ‘patriotic’ aie to the call of hig country and: the same ‘determi tion What has the banker done to replace the expert banking help. called’ to’ the colors or drawn into war emergency.work by the lure of high wages?

There is no army in the field that so closely resembles our own in personnel and in fighting ability as the Canadian. Men of both armies are stalwart, healthy, upstanding Americans. of the best manhood of North America. Their likes and + dislikes, even their army slnag are the same. They smoke the same brand of cigarets and maybe they even write to the same girls; That’s one reason why the Canadian soldier feels drawn toward his brother: from below the Great Lakes. The most important reason is ‘that the quicker the allied armies on the western front are welded into one, in fact as well as in theory and in com- mand, the quicker will they win this war. Benjamin Franklin’s famous declaration, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we will all hang: separately!” holds good today of all the armies that are fighting terrorism and Hunnish- ness. We must consider ourselves, at home and at the front, as all-British, all French, all Belgians—and above everything, all AMERICANS. The picked Prussian “shock” troops got the|, shock of their lives this time. HE’D BETTER DO IT NOW When will Germany toss up the sponge? Why ' her defy ‘with defeat looming large on the hori- zon? . Prussia’s papa Willie has made his precious peo- ple: some pretty promises. They are to loot the Louvre, live in chateaus, possess French women and persecute French men; rename Westminster Abbey der West Muenster Bier Garten, fill the London subway with British bodies and run a zeppelin air line, transportation free for Prussians from Hamburg or Cologne to Liverpool or Edinburgh. At least, it seems the-Hun heaven has been pictured: this way to the plodding Plattdeutsch and their kin. _ Now, JF the_ kaiser.

Farming in every section has become a family affair, and the women and children have become real “soldiers of the soil” to make good the promise of the country to. the world. A spirit of closer community cooperation has been born. of the stress: of wartime neces- the efforts of the farm -service: division of the department of labor, a service that has coordinat- ed the labor supply as never before for states, and, sections of the country. * * The results even now show themselves in the fact that a bumper wheat crop, scarcely Jess than, last year’s field,.is practically “safe.” to clear up rather than grow worse. ; Farmers will more efficiently utilize the family: efforts and the break in the new lands that will be available. The boys’ working reserve furnishes the. most striking example of organized effort directly to create a new labor supply for the farm. During the present year 250,000, American boys between 16 and 21 years of age “have been. trained, .and their efforts added to the. army. of, patriots who are cultivating and harvesting ‘America’s great crops. This quarter of a million is the. nucleus of a great army that will soon swell to a, million effective farm workers. This army of young. men constitutes the one‘real source of farm | labor dur- ing the period of the war. That the farm labor situation is a most serious problem, and one that must be solved to keep effective the nation’s most essential of essential war industries, is patent to all. That its solution along lines already initiated is possible, with the helpful cooperation of the farmers over the coun- try, is the belief of the labor department, whose fingers are constantly. on the labor pulse of the f PEOPLE'S FORUM| and the mobilizing of the militia, the farmer felt|4. regards to MILLS, the day, he spoke in Sterling sae the farms. were practically atelpped of ‘the normal Fsoreh for food as the fundamental element i in the win-|': tne lation, and fl conyincing:: plant: ‘one of: their ok.” Busine ga of an. “tad vi that :fact: thorough!
