NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS One of the first thoughts in prep aration of a people for a struggle in which a clear brain, and unwasted brawn are to play an important part, is to remove any elements that weaken the individual and take from his manhood. The elimination of the liquor business, with the thought that it is : the greatest destroyer of manhood, ; was considerea a remarkably radical j gTEWART & COMPANY step in some ol me countries across the Atlantic, but the success of the experiment has been so marked that this move is considered now by ourj government as a matter of course. ! Aside from the demoralizing effect; of the traffic upon the manhood of; the nation, the economic waste, ' which 'is enormous, is too great for, a nation to tolerate in times of peace, and should not be permitted for a moment when the resources of the land are all demanded for the life of the nation itself. The traffic consumes hundreds of millions of bushels of grain annual ly, and this amount put Into the legitimate channels of trade, where it can be had as food stuff, would be of material benefit to the nation. President Wilson is said to be in favor of the abolition of the traffic during the war, which would of course put it out of the nation for all time. In this as in his other the people are with the Chicago. The federal department hat the!0' lustice wi" officially summon May or Thompson to answer for Ills utter ances regarding the proposed visit by Field Marshal Joffre to Chicago. District Attorney Cllne, announced his chief assistant, Joseph B. Flem ing, probably will act on complaints made by a number of citizens. The chief point to be considered, ac cording to Mr. Fleming, Is whether i the mayor shall be charged with "giv ' ing aid and comfort to the enemy," or with "seeking to interfere with the government in its plans to defeat the nemy." The constitution of the United States defines treason as "giv ing aid and comfort to the enemy." Mayor Thompson refused to Invite General Joffre and members of the French commission to Chicago, partly on the ground that the city's large German population might not approve such an invitation. After it became known In Washing ton that the city council unanimously bad extended an invitation on behalf of the city, it was announced unoffi cially that General Joffre and his par ty would visit Chicago before return ing to France. measures, president. tun WHY NOT?

PRINEV1LLE DRUG CO., Geo. Nicolal, Pharmacist U-BOAT TOLL 1,600,000 TONS German Putt British Tonnage Now at 7,000,000. Amsterdam, via London. In the first two months of unrestricted sub marine warfare more than 1,600,000 tons of shipping was sunk by the Ger mans, Dr. Karl Helfferich, German secretary of the interior, told the Reichstag main committee. He as serted that the submarine campaign was proving a great success. "From our figures one may estimate the total tonnage still available for British trade at 7,000,000 to 10,000,000. It is clear the British merchant fleet cannot long bear sinking at the pres ent rate. Adequate substitutions by new construction are impossible." Joffre Wants Flag in France. Washington.
