In less than two weeks New Brit-, ain's first quota for the new national army will leave town for training at Ayer, Massachusetts. In that com- plement, made up of men from the first and sccond exemption districts, there will be somewhere near one hundred and fiftty men, possibly more. It is but proper that these recruits be sent away from home in all the glory that can be accorded them by the people of this city. They are going to help make the world safe’for democ- Their mission is of such a lofty the highest | racy. nature. that it deserves commendation. Latest advices from the War De- partment give September 5 as the day New Britain’s first quota for the new army must be in camp. As Ayer s within a night's ride of this city, it is probable that the men will leave here on Tuesday of the week after next. That being so, there is plenty of time in which to make all arrangements for a farewell commensurate with the dignity of a city claiming some sixty thousand souls. In all other activities New Britain has outstripped itself. It cannot afford to falter this time. The majority of men who go away under the selective service law are just as true patriots as those who went vol- untarily. We must then give honor where honor is due. A celebration such as we have in mind could easlly be arranged and staged without interfering one iota with the regular roptine of work in the factortes. There need be no clo;img down of the city's industries, for the sed, we may never be able to afte or show conquering force in the great cause of Uman liberty. The day has jme to conquer or submit. If e forces of autocracy can di- ide us they will overcome us; if e stand together, victory is cer- 4n and the liberty which vio- will secure.

They pos- &ibly can arrange for a night train te Ayer. If the Tuesday before the ap- pointed time is too late, the parade might well be held on the Monday previous. That is, September 3. Now is the time to consider these things. The city naturally looks to its highest officlals for action. ‘It will not take Mayor Quigley long to get started once he sets out to see this through. Slacker! There is not a more bitter word in the English language. A slacker is everything that a man is not. He is selfishness personified. He is everything that is mean and low. He is a moral leper to be shunned by all men who are thankful for this great land of ours, who glory in liv- ing and dying for America. He is a coward Incarnate. Like a thief in the night he robs Democracy of her just due. - He is an insult to his wife and children, if he has any, and to the wives and children of all men. He is a foul thing ,a hater of justice, love, equality and everything that is pure and holy. Be he native born or a guest of this nation, he is deserving of He is to be de- nothing but scorn. spised. Within the past few hours New Brit- ain has been called upon to deal with several of this {lk. "The proper medi- cine has been prescribed, a place in the National Army, where an effort will be made to teach them patriot- love of country and a desire to defend that country. A slacker's ail- ment is easily diagnosed. The dis- ease consists of selffishness of the heart, a lack of regard for the wel- fare of others, failure to appreciate the favors a great land bestows, & crawling, cringing nature that would not feel outraged seeing a child or a woman struck by a brute. The prescription is certain to show results. If, during service at the front, a slacker stops a bullet he will, perhaps, have intervened between Death and a Man. If he comes back he will have been cuped of a great part of his mental and moral sick- ness, better fitted to live with men. In either event, the nation will be so much better off. ism, Seven thousand workmen of the League Island Navy Yard, Philadel-, phia, have signed a petition pledging their loyalty to the United States gov- The document, Daniels by a ‘“to do ernment at this time. presented to Secretary committee pledging thé men our full share toward the vietory ¥ which ultimately will be ours” is one that should commend itself to all loyal Americans.

Feroclous Bulgaria. (Providence Journal) Bulgaria has her war aims, and she does not intend that they shall be overlooked either by her allies or her enemies. *“Our enemies must pay in- demnity to extinguish all our debts and wherewithal to reward our sol- diers”, so a leading Sofia newspaper declares with appropriate heat. The acquisition of Greek, Serbian and Rou- manian soil is, of course, cardinal to the list of claims. Not until they are all satisfied to let the world have peace. “Our watchword is peace with annexations and indemnities”, accord- ing to the Sofla manifesto. The world will tremble. It may yet have to implore the Imperial German Chancellor to call off Bulgaria. It We Had Folowed Bad Advice. (Duluth Herald) Do yvou remember how, only a little while ago, a lot of people were de- claring that the omly way to solve the Mexican problem was for the United States to sall in and take charge? Do you remember that these people reproached the government severely for taking advantage of the plight of distracted Mexico to wade in and take her over for her own good—and in- cidentally also for ours, or rather for the good of those whose eyes were fixed on the mines, oil wells, timber and other rich resources of Mexico? Well— We didn’t do it, thanks to the Presi- dent. 3 How about it now? You haven’t heard a word from Villa for months. Even the straggling bands that plundered in his name a little while ago seem to have subsided. Mexico is quieting down steadily. The Carranza government seems to be making good. It has full control of most of Mexico, and there seems to be no difficulty in the way of getting early control of the rest of it. A pro-German sentiment is rapidly growing in Mexico. Prominent Mexicans and Mexican newspapers, despite the eager and lib- erally financed German propaganda in that country, are urging Mexican par- ticipation in the war on the side of the Btates, HOME READING COURSE FOR CITIZEN SOLDIERS Thirty daily lessons offcred to men selected for service in Na- tional Army as practical help in getting started in the right way. .No attempt is made to give binding rules or directions, the course be- ing informal in tone. These lessons are issued by the War Depart- ment which reserves right to reprint. LESSON NO. 11. PLAYING THE GAME. (Preceding lessons: 1. Your Post of Honor. 2. Making Good as a Sol- dler. 3. Nine Qualities of a Sol- dler. 4. Getting Ready for Camp. 6. First Days in Camp. 6. Cleanli- ness in Camp. 7. Your Health. 8. Marching and Care of Feet. 9. Your Equipment and Arms. 10. Recrea- tion in Camp.) There is a gripping interest about the soldier’s life that makes a strong appeal to vigorous Americans. Thig is doubly true in time of war when the soldier has a serlous object in view and gives his whole mind to his duties. You will find this interest growing as you advance New scenes and as- sociates will bring you a new point of view. You will be less wrapped up than you have been in many purely personal questions. You will cut loose from many f the petty details which tend to smother a man’s individuality. You will devote more time to thinking. The healthy good fellowship of the camp also can not fail to stimulate you. Thousands of men drawn from all walks of life can not be thrown suddenly together without bringing to light many qualitles previously un- known. You will probably become bet- ter acquainted with yourself than you have ever been before. In order to get the most out of this new life you must devote yourself to it heart and soul. A good start is half the battle in making your way in the army. Even if you are not now much interested in military affairs—if you are entering the service, not because of personal inclination, but solely be- cause it is one of your obligations as a citizen—you are going to' become keenly interested after you once get new into the swing and spirit of the Army. This will be true in at least ninety-nine cases out of every hundred. Recog- nize it now and play the game hard from the very start. Your Monthly Pay. ‘While the men in the National Army are serving at the call of duty and not while he is abroad. Following is a table which shows the pay for some of the higher non-commissioned ranks: Monthly pay In United States. | Private .. FBirst-class Corporal . Sergeant . First sergeant private A man may allot such portions of his pay as he desires for the support of his family or relatives. He may de- posit his savings with any quartermas- ter in sums of not less than $5. The quartermaster will furnish to each de- positor a book giving record of his de- posits. On the discharge of a soldier (but not before) the total amount of his deposits will be entered on his fi- nal statement and will be paid to him on presentation of his deposit book. Th rate of interest allowance is 4 per cent. This is one convenient meth- od of saving money which many sol- diers will desire to use. It is easier {,iof save in the Army than it is in civil o. Saving money is not only good in it- self but is a sign that you are concen- trating your time and energy on your military duties; that you playing the game. The majority of the old men who join the National Army are old enough and have sufficient good sense and self-control to conduct themselves properly, both on duty and off duty, without special advice or supervision. However, some suggestions may prove helpful. A man in uniform is always regard- ed, whether he wishes it or not, as a representative of the army to which he belongs. See to it that you conduct yourself in such a way to add your bit not only to your own reputation, but are really i to the reputation of the Army and of the country. Making Use of Spare Time. The use that a man makes of his time off duty is a good test of his char- acter and of his capacity for growth. The good soldier is self-restrained. Don't spend your time repeating inde- cent stories. They add nothing what- ever to your standing, either with the men to whom you tell them or with your officers. Avold boisterousness, vulgarity, and profanity. This doesn’t mean at all that you should keep yourself in the back- ground or that you should fail to be a Let your personality stand out. Broaden your influence by every proper method. But use your personality and your influence to help the men in your own squad and com- pany carry on their work and prepare as quickly as possihle for the big task ahead of you. Save some of your spare time for study. The manuals and drill regu- lations will grow more and more in- teresting to you as you become more familiar with your new duties. Mem- orize some of the important passages. Make yourself an authority on every- thing that pertains to company drill. These are simple rules that will help any man, whether in or out of the army to make himself liked and re- spectads They are casy rules 10 ob- good “‘mixer”. l for money, nevertheless everyone will |. be paid more than enough to take care of all necessary expenses.

It Took That Long to Persuade Oon- gress to Make a National Park of Beautiful Crater Lake. Judge Will G. Steel, of Oregon, who is known locally as the ‘‘Father of the Crater Lake National Park,” told this story at the recent National Parks Conference in Washington: “Forty-six years ago I was a farm- er’s boy in southern Kansas and at- tended school five miles distant. My lunch was carried in a newspaper. One warm day in May or June I sat in the schoolroom eating the contents of that paper. When through I scanned e columns, reading the short articles, among which was a descriptive of a sunken lake that had been discovered in Oregon. It was said to be 5,000 feet below the sur- face of the surrounding ocountry, with vertical walls, so that no human body could reach the water. In its center was an island 1,600 feet high, with an extinct crater in the top. In all my life I never read an article that took the intense hold on me that that one did and I then and there determined to go to Oregon and to visit that lake and to go down to the water. “I had two brothers in Portland at the time. Two years thereafter I went to Oregon with my parents and we were met at the steamer landing by my brothers. Before getting over the dock I asked them where that sunken lake was, and found that they had never heard of it. “It was seven years before I was able to find anyone who had ever heard of it. Then I was told that there was something of that sort in southern Oregon, but my informer wag not sure. Nine years later T found a man who had actually seen it, and gave me a good description of it, that greatly increased my desire to see it. However, I was not able to get there until the summer of 1885, when we made' the trip in. company with three friends, arriving there in July. “Crater Lake was discovered by g party of twenty-two prospectors, led by John W. Hillman, then of Jack- sonville, Oregon, June 12, 1853, and named Deep Blue Lake.. Mr. Hill- man was the last survivor of this party and died in Hope Villa, Louisi- ana, March 19, 1915, in the eighty- third vear of his age. “While standing on the rim of the lake In 1885 with Professor Jogeph LeConte, the thought occurred to me that no point around this wonderful cauldron had the hand of man yet desecrated with peanut stands or oth- er marks of desolation, and that something should be done to save it forever for the people of this great country. “How to accomplish this was the question, so I turned to the professor for counsel. - We discussed it at length and finally decided the only way was to have a national park cre- ated. Ways and means were dis- icussed and the work of preparation commenced then and there. A peti- tion to the president was prepared, asking for the withdrawal from the market of ten townships, which peti- tion was granted the following Janu- ary, when President Cleveland issued an executive order to that effect. “The actual work of interesting congress commenced immediately and continued for seventeen years, when a bill was passed and signed by the president May 22, 1902, the anniver. sary of the mamglage of my parents.’ 25¢ ™ 50c¢ ™™= Plaids, checks, sport stripes, coin spots and a full line of plain colors.

Men the Seven Seas Over Now Rec- nize Great Problem, and Af- rica is the Kernel. (New Haven Journal-Courier). Undercurrents in the news bear evidence that slowly dawning upon the consciousness of men the seven seas over is the fact that one of the great problems the war has raised is the negro problem. To the world it is of graver import than the negro problem is to the United States, point- ed though that is by mob violence thronghout the South. It is as great as the problem of Poland, of the Balkans, of Turkey. For it is the problem of a continent. Africa is the continent, whose untold resources are to be regarded as the prize of the present war. And if it is true, the famous mines of Solomon are located In Central Africa, may Solomon have stored his wisdom there, for wisdom will be needed. Statesmen of the allies already face the significant question which will enter into every proposal of peace: “Shall the British, French and Belgians readmit Ger- many as a ruling power into the Af- rican continent?” Both Generals Smuts and Sir Har- ry Johnston, great authorities on Af- rican problems, assert it is no secret what Junker Germany intended and still intends to do in tropical Africa. She intends to forge the millions of black men into a huge slave state, drill them into unconquorable armies, conquer Egypt, and march them up and down the world. This was once the dream, likewise of the African Arabs. If Germany had delayed war twenty-five years, until she had gained the commercial supremacy that seemed inevitable, her African dream would not have been 80 pre- posterous. In the present light that glimmers a little fitfully over a frantic world, it does not seem reasonable, surely, that Prussian militarism should be al- lowed to organize and drill millions of Africans into slaves and soldiers. This is not to be thought of as sanctioned by the German people. In a case that runs sufficiently parallel to be start- ling, it does not seem reasonable that Japanese militarism should be al- lowed to subject and commandeer the four hundred seventeen million Chi- nese. To men of the seven seas the world would not be a pleasant place with a hell at hand where the final cataclysm would be negroes drilled by Nippon boys for supremacy in ‘“a civ- ilization of supermen.” Partnership of Infamy. (Troy Record) Caesar Borgia’s military record re- vealed a liking for frightfulness. His reputation as a poisoner was the sub- ject of discussion for many years. The Kaiser is an advocate of frightfulness in time of war. The noxious gases his armies are using shows that he is a friend of poison for the purpose of achleving his aims. Borgia and Ho- henzollern are names that will be per- petuated in a partnership of infangy, The Slaughter of Peace. (Philadelphia Bulletin.) Railroad and street railway opera- tion in the state of Pennsylvania killed 1835 persons last year. On the Btreet railways alone, 3219 persons were injured more or less seriously. In this'country the annual homiclde record runs considerably above 10, 000. The alarming statement is mad that abaut 9,000 persons lost their lives in fires. The latest mortality compilations for the United States re port that in 1915 there were over 50,000 deaths from accidents of all sorts, a rate of 76.3 per 100,000 of the population. By far the larger percentage of these accidents {s due to carelessness, and although, partly because of the in< spiration of humans cansiderations, and partly because of the economic warning of compensation laws, and other indemnities, a ‘campaign for ‘“‘safety first” is steadily making head- way, it will remain true that in the ordinary routine of the day we, as a nation, are caréless of life, and we ac- cept the daily register of deaths as a matter of course, and concern our= selves but littie beyond an incidental ‘watchfulness for individual safety. These are lives wasted, with few ex- ceptions, toll for which no service is gained. Good souls who are horror stricken at the thought of war, and who protest at the sacrifice of life in- volved in saving the nation from at- tack, might better turn their attentiofi and thought to the slaughter of peace, the tragedies of which are not likely to be less the coming year than those of the battlefleld, where the risk is unavoidable and men win glory and serve their country with their lives, Nijinsky Pays the Piper. (Philadelphia Telegraph.) It you ever go to Spain and make a contract to dance before the king, don’t fail to keep your contract. Don’t try to bluff Alfonso. That young Hapsburg monarch may be an ex-king before he is forty, but the people who put him out will have to “show cause” before he doffs hll crown. Nijinsky had the wrong idea of Alfonso. But maybe that was na- tural. Nijinsky comes from Russia where kings ate away below par. So, when it occurred to the dancer, just before going on in Madrid that his share of the ‘“gate” was too low, he simply sat back and refused to shake a leg until the price should be raised. b The four and twenty blackbirds that all began to sing when Mother Goose's liege lord sat down to devour them didn’t annoy that prinee a whit more than this sulky Russian an- noved the king of Spgin. In the good old days Nijinsky would have lost everything above his necktie for his insolence. As it was he got off with one night in an unsterilized cell during which he agreed to dance fdr the contract price. Perhaps he danced badly out of spite, but Alfonso smiled all through the performance, because Nijinsky | has already “paid the pipers” |
