Stop It The great war has already claimed more than 40,000 American soldiers casualties. The list will constantly grow larger. England nas lost more than 900,000 troops in killed alone. The German loss in killed has been more than 2,000,000, The French losses have been almost as great. Statisticians who have made a study of war casual- ties declare that in killed alone the casualties of all nations, Russians, Serbs, Rumanians, Turks, Austrians, Bulgars and those before mentioned have been more than 10,000,000. The majority of these men were young. They were the men who would have tilled the fields, worked in the shops and raised the milies of tomorrow. They were the promises, unfulfilled because of the mad dream of the brute of Po Ten million lives cut off at the time when they were broadening into usefulness to civilization. Civilization is paying the price and must continue to as pay. But this orgy of bloodshed, of must never be repeated, That is why the peace that can be no loophole open for the recurrence of the last war. murder and accepted must leave war. This must be American soldiers have shown the boche a few Yankee tricks; President Wilson introduces them to an- other, the answer that is a question. Zoning Doctors Philadelphia’s director of health suggests the zoning of physicians in the battle against the influenza epidemic. He believes there are enough doctors to cope with this or any epidemic if their hours are not wasted running all over the city to reach this and that patient, passing en route other persons ill and who need medical attention. Dr. Krusen would divide Philadelphia into districts, allotting all influenza and pneumonia cases in each district to the physicians in that particular section. Thus he would make it possible for every doctor to see more sick persons while covering less ground. “Physicians are compelled to spend too much time in going from one patient to the next,” Dr. Krusen says. A doctor, in his automobile, hurrying miles out of his way to attend a patient, isn’t as useful to the community as a doctor at the bedside of a sick person. Any scheme which will get the doctor to the sick in the shortest possible time is, seemingly, the best scheme. If every doctor is saved two unnecessary traveling hours each day a wonderful life-saving movement will be well under way. What has become of the crown prince? asks an edi- torial contemporary. He's somewhere safely out of the war zone with the kaiser’s other five sons. The Great Leveler It was once as unpardonable for the rich to work as for the poor to idle. Useful effort signified vulgarity. To confess a trade, or to profess knowledge of a craft at which men labored with their hands, was to lose every vestige of social prestige and caste. An aristocrat was a dandified fop. He regarded the toiler akin to cattle and next to chattel. He was peering thru the big end of life’s telescope. Along comes Mars. His steel fist and iron-shod foot batter and shatter the barriers twixt classes and masses. To meet the exigencies of war, he thrusts forge ham- mer and farm plow into the hands of rich sluggards. The kick of necessity is administered to make action imperative and discomfort complete. A strange thing happens. It suggests the mixture of two chemicals to produce a third. An upheaval has the stage in the wealthy wastre!’s mental “play” house. Some voleanic action takes place. The curtain of conscience rings down on a reckoning with self. Now they're making bread of wood and feathers in Germany. Even the birds will suffer in Hunland unless they camouflage their nests. oye Party Politics—Farewell! The outstanding fact in politics—and one that is be coming more patent from month to month—is that the old party barriers are slowly but surely breaking down. Time was when every American citizen was either a republican or a democrat; and he was very emphatically one thing or the other. That is not so today. There is no crucial issue now between republicanism and democracy. The old sets of principles that once dis- tinguished the parties and the old battle cries do not meet the demands of this hour. The only real issue in American politics today is con- servatism versus progressivism, in the broadest sense of that word. There are many progressive men in both the great parties, and, if the truth must be told, there are, unfortunately, reactionaries in both parties. The line-up today is not between the two parties but across them. It is men that count—not parties. In Paris you can get a course dinner for 33 cents. It would be a coarse dinner served for that gladsome figure here! Use Cheaper Grades of Paper We have been a profligate nation. We have been ex- travagant in the use of paper. Now we must use “War paper’—that is, cheaper grades of paper—for every pur- pose—for wrapping paper, writing paper, for wall paper. The government needs the chemicals, the coal, the labor and the transportation. Poison gas, ammunition, explosives of all kinds, are chemicals used in the making of paper. Cheaper papers, made of ground wood pulp, are manu- factured from water power. Use cheaper papers and save fuel. These’papers are just as serviceable. A bleached paper—that is, white paper—contains chem- icals necessary to gas the Hun out of Metz. Help gas the Hun! Use natural papers. Cut out colored papers during the war. You will save money and make the world safe for democracy. : The kaiser’s secretary for colonies talks of resign- ing. One Hun who has got peace right on his plate and doesn’t know it. Even the allies wouldn't be brutal enough to give the Germans terms corresponding, as the kaiser wants them to, with German “honor.” American airplanes, in flocks of 350, are bombing the Germans. It's a peace message that suits us. A piece of peace, says the kaiser, is better than none. rapine » THE SEATTLE STAR Th OFFICE “THAN ALL THE ae | LISTENING TO DAD 1 | GIRLS GAS-MASKED TOO PROTECTED A GasMasked Munitionette Loading Great Americ WHY, | Do Moree Work IN THAT PUT “RGeTHER!
