Thus Henry is still enabled to sing the Democratic ¢ampaign hymn of 1916; “I did not raise my boy to We soldier,” and can truthfally repeat the slogan: “He kept us out of war.” t what the effect. of the transaction will be upon the mothers and fathers of Michigan boys, who not being fayored with an influential ancestor, are called upon to make the scpreme_ sacrifice in behalf of country, remains to be seen. There have been several cases of exemption of this kind. Two of them kept yourig men of the Seripps family out of war. The Scripps family owns a string of newspapers which whooped it up for the Demo- cratic party on the pacifist platform in 1916 and which have been whogp- ing it up on different grounds ever since, the-last election. Edsel Ford and the Scripps boys are no better than the rest of the boys in this country, no matter how many newse papers and e dads own, or how many senatorial booms they have éoncealed about their persons.

The question of who is to blame for the statement, Captain Lanning or Adjutant General Weaver, is one for the parties interested to detrmine. | and-tt suffices to say that the remark is am insult to the inteRiyeace erd! faith of the American. people. Mr. Lanning is quoted as having supple- | mented his statement by the claim that the chances against th: enlisted/ man were 100 to 1, while government statistics show that about one man in every 300 is killed. , . The Tribune, among other leading papers of the cotintry, receives daily | long lists of casualties reported by the commanding general of the Anreri: | can army in-France, and each day there appears a summary of these losses, together with the names of those for Wyoming and five adjoining states. There is necessary some delay between the dates when casualties actually occur and the date of their announcement, but there is mo question of their) authenticity insofar as it is possible to determine. The War Department is not engaged in the business of hoodwinking the people, and its veracity regarding the dissemination of casualty news can hardly be called into question by a man in Mr. Lanning’s.station. It was in this respect that Mr. Lanning overstepped the bounds of propriety, for had he dismissed criticism from his remarks they could not have been! construed as a deliberate reflection on the honesty and sincerity of the men who haye charge of the great army of American patriots now fighting| to uphold the very principles which are attacked in Mr. Laniting’s statement.
