I call him a young man. I had always, heretofore, thought of him as a boy. But I have just had a talk with him, man-to-man, and I find he is a boy no longer. He is going to serve his country. a private in the coast artillery of the tional Guard, he had been wearing a form for the last two or three weeks. He had been inspired, he tells me, by the highest patriotic motives when he joined. He wanted to fight the fight for the flag and for world democracy. But the weeks went by, and he was not called to arms. He had used all the sober judgment of his 18 years in making up his mind to go. And now that he could not be imme- diately at the job of bayoneting Boches, he was restless under the inaction. So, yesterday, he arranged with his captain to withdraw from the National Guard, and he enlisted in the regular army. Gloriously Excited Over Prospect of Bayoneting Boches He tells me he is going to be a cavalry- man, and he is most gloriously excited . over the. prospect.

WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY! FORTUNATE YOUNG MAN! Go, and may God watch over you! You other young men who will read this, what capital for a life career have you? And what is your aim? You have youth, health, energy and ambition. These are fine possessions. They are necessaries. Y ou get them from God and good home environment. They are borrowed capital, which you can pay back only by devoting yourself to high ideals and giving the very best there is in you. You lack experience. You will get that, as you live and work along. Sometimes, you will get it in tears, fail- ures, falls, disappointments and scars, but it will be the greatest part of your equip- ment, if you take right advantage of it as it comes to you, and you can borrow event this part of your life capital by study- ing and adopting the experience of others. When we ask what is your aim, we do not seek to learn whether you are eager to become a carpenter, a banker, a mer- chant, a machinist, or a statesman, a tradesman or a professional of any sort. Such question would apply only to your own personal fortunes, the little indi- vidual, restricted career, the small wheel on which you, as a unit among billions of other units, will go ’round and ’round, and be at once useless and forgotten when you fall off. Lister Puts Defense Plans Up to Daniels BY GILSON GARDNER WASHINGTON, D. C., May 4.—Upon conclusion to- of the war conference MONEY NEW YORK, May 4.—Wash. ington replaced Wail the world’s financial center today. Federal reserve banks took charge of floating the $2,000,- 000,000 “liberty loan” in New York, J. P. Morgan will no longer act British govern. ment financial representative. The United States government succeeds him—both as pur. chasing agent in this country, and as controller of allied loans on thie side of the Atlantic. Washington expected to present to Secretary of the Navy Daniels the pro. posal of Puget ec@d fisher. men for the vse @ the fish ery fleets and industry in national defense. The fisher. men are asking organization of a national fisheries de- fense board to co-ordinate the diversified functions of their industry for war pur- poses. There is a higher, better, more legiti- mate aim. By striving for it you pay off the borrowed capital of your early man- hood, you help work out the Creator’s purpose, you aim at true greatness. Greatest of All Aims Is That of Real Service to Mankind When youth ts all gone, when the fires that move men to vocational successes are banked by time and the monotonies of life, when deep wrinkles and white hairs notify the world that one ts passing, the greatest of all happiness of age is the ability to honestly pray: “Father, | thank Thee in that, after all the years in the harness, I have still some little capacity and some opportunity to serve my fellowmen.” Young man, the greatest of all aims s SERVICE! It is not thyself first, but thy brothers. It is not your career, but the world’s. Not for yourself alone should your youth, your energy, your ambition be made to count, but for man, everywhere: SERVICE! Young man, such is the state of human affairs that never before in human history was the opportunity so great, so clear for the investment of your capital—youth, energy, high purpose—in human service. Civilization Opposed to Barbarism in This Greatest of Wars The world is divided. On one side is civilization; upon the other barbarism, with reversion to the beast the issue.

Or, shall public service be the work of slaves in a cause that would fasten upon humanity a reversion under w hich might is right, liberty a silly dream, and equality doled out by the bloody sword of autocrats? SERVICE! “For the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man!” The young American who shoulders a musket today or takes his place behind a ship's gun has writ before him high in the skies “Service for Humanity!” It is his mission, It ts the call to him by the Al- mighty, by Nature and by Mankind. It is his chance for living worth while, for happiness and true nobility. Never again will he find open to him such an investment, wherein the capital required is not money, nor power, nor pull, but solely genuine manhood. Our young men of Seattle may get an opportunity to volunteer, or they may not. They may be compelled to register, and await their turn for ser- vice under the selective draft now being arranged by congre These details will be settled within a few days. But when the time comes, young men of free America, free America born in martyrs’ blood and mothers’ sacrifice, rally to old Abe Lincoln! Strike, that humanity shall, “under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that ce mt the shell net by the .. people, for people, not perish from the earth!” VARAAR AAAAAAAAAAA AAARAAARARA AARARARAARA RAARAARAARA RAAARARARAA U.S.NOW vom Cecil Kane, Cecil Is Anxious .
