For four months we have used it as a bunch of deputy sheriffs. More than 1, of these militia boys who enlisted for army service, are still today scat- tered in little groups from Neah bay to W allow a, from Mt. Baker to Skamokawa. They are guard- ing bridges, water tanks, light plants, factories, shipyards and tunnels. Granted that the points they are ought to be guarded during war time, 500 guarding we do not need to use 1,500 active young soldiers for the job. It isn’t square to them. It isn’t square to Uncle Sam. Much of this guard work ought to be done by the private concerns whose property is protected. The rest of the job surely is up to the sheriffs and police. That is why we have sheriffs and police. Where the regular authorities cannot for any reason handle the job, deputize some of our older men. It is one place where they can serve just as well as the best soldier on earth. But our guardsmen—train them for war! Uncle Sam is going to order them to the front one of these days, and Washington wants them = go prepared to do themselves and this state nor. ‘SEN, JONES BLOCKS ATTEMPT TO SIDESTEP WEALTH CONSCRIPTION.

Brown ITH America participating in the world war, history is being made every day which our great grandchildren, @ half century hence, will be reading out of their school books. We, who are seeing this history in the making, ought to overlook no opportunity to keep our- selves posted on the daily news developments. And the best way to keep posted, in the modest opinion of the men who make this newspaper, is to be a regular reader of The Star. Never, in all the years it has been serving the y people of this community, has The Star been in such complete, instantaneous communication with the world-wide points where warnews is “breaking.” On every war front, and in every important European capital, the United Press maintains a corps of American-trained writers, real go-get-’em reporters. And as soon as The Star’s United Press leased wire begins to sizzle with war news in the early morning, the linotypes in the composing room start setting the articles up in type for you to read. From Washington, D. C., in addition to the S WAY TO DO IT! written by the regular United Press staff of men, The Star receives articles from a special corps of experts including Charles Edward Russell, who was a member of the Root mission to Russia; Gil- son Gardner, N. Rickey, Harry Hunt, Milton Bronner, L. Harper Leech, and others. Seattle is growing. It is up to us all to grow with it. One way to grow is to keep posted. If you're going to grow with your city, keep “hep” to the world’s news just as soon as it is flashed over the wires. KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. Know it by reading The Star. news
