In 1775, and the words leap fresh
Into our hearts today, Wliere is the
iinin so dull that be can not Bee It?
Departures, sinkings, casualty lists,
thrusts from unexpected quarters,
reverses, disasters, new loans, new
labors, new sacrifices we shall
know them all.
And we shall meet thein as
Prance Jias met them? It Is impos
sible that we should flinch, To that
high call to dedicate to the cause
of liberty and right "our lives and
fortunes, everything that we have
and everything that we are," wo
shall respond. ,

"In France the men are wrought
to an edge of steel, and tho women
ure a line of Hie behind them.
An edge of steel a line of fire.
Tho Image of a nation energized for
war! But this Is France. And we.
the men and women of America, and
we, too, of steel and fire? Flua as
our national temper has become, it
falls far short ot this. The war Is
too remote. No cannon thunder at
our ports. No hostile airplanes
hover In our skies.
In a trench or two along the bat
tle front there lie and watch a few
to whom America is borne. They
have already suffered. They have
paid their first toll in prisoners and
in blood1. They are In contact witb
the foe. Others behind them hear
the roar of distant guns. Still more
are on the sea, conscious of the vague
presence of an enemy beneath. -At
home busy preparation goes on
among half a million to whom tho
war Is still far-away a thing rfbard
of, waited for, not yet seen.
And the rest: The hundred-odd
millions of men and women in their
homes! In the main, we go on the
even tenor of our way. -We cat
enough as yet; wo work a little
harder than last year; we take many
of our accustomed pleasures; and,
save for occasional bad dreams, we
sleep. The thought of war comes to
us not above a dozen times a day.
The thing that will make us Bteol
and fire draws nearer every hour. In
some few months, before the leaves
are come ana gone upon tho trees,
that half million will be side by side
with Pershing's handful at the front.
Long before that time another half
million will have left their work and
play for the bustle of the camps.
More and more the war comes
home to us. The battle line, that cut
ting edge in Franco, Is not a remote
and alien thing; It Is becoming, It
has become, our flesh and blood. It
Is "closer to us than breathing and
dearer than Jiands and feet." Vi
brant currents of sensation and en
ergy pass from us to It and from It
to us. The nerves of our wholo be

' We sat in on an extremely interest
ing discussion not long ago in which
this question was the bone of conten
tion, writes tho editor of New Notes,
Issued by the extension service or the
Colorado Agricultural College. There
were four of us, all newspaper men,
dining together. Naturally, wo talked
"shop," and the conversation linully
drifted to the question of what
should be printed in a newspaper
and what withheld. We-dlvlded even
ly, two ot us coutending that a news
paper should print all the news, and
two arguing thut certain happenings,
even though they occurred in public
were the private affairs of the par
ticipants and) therefore not properly
to be displayed upon the printed page
for all the world to see.
Two of our party contender, strong
ly Against the publication of occur
rences which brought undesirable
publicity upon any individual or
group ot individuals, as, for in
stance, an automobile accident at an
hour early in the morning, in which
there was nothing disgraceful except
the fact that Borne young people were
joy riding at that hour.
The other pair declared that an oc
currence of this kind is news and
should be published in such detail
as was warranted by the acquain
tanceship of those involved. They
further contended that nothing less
than financial failure was in Btore
for the paper that consistently with
hold such stories.
There is unquestionably a close re
lationship between the business of
fice and the news department In mat
ters of policy such as this, and if we
are to take the financial success of
most of our leading dallies! as a
criterion, .we will print ail the news
all the time, without fear or favor.
The people want It.

This Is the lineup of the war:

and a few minor countries. On tho

The entente allies huve 21.400.0UIJ

Don't these figures horrify you?
A newspaper of enterprise, high
character, high courage and high

city morally, financially, Industrially.
It is the cheapest thing In the world,
considering the service it performs.

IMPROVEMENT CLUB
AT
Many fanners and others can re
call the fact that when they wore
boys on the farm, the farmer who
had two spring Beats to put on his
wagon for gala days was considered
a fortunate and well-to-do farmer.
Most farmers then had only one
spring seat and the children sat be
hind on boards laid across the wagon
bed. Then came the farmer who had
the spring wagon, a smaller wagon
with springs under it. Then the top
carrlugd and so on. Now It is the
automobllo that runs not only on
springs but on cushionet. tires and
one automobile costs about as much
as thirty spring wagons used to cost.
In all of this we may catch the
drift of progress and also an ex
planation of the high cost of living.

now.

SPECAL MEETING OF
- FULLERTON P. T. ASSN.
. A special meeting of the Kuller
ton Parent-Teacher Association was
held last night, the chief subject un
der discussion being the Junior lted
Cross nnd ways and means for rais
ing the membership dues for a
school auxiliary.
President Hutner not being able
to attend, the vice-president, Prin
cipal Kancher, presided. The meet
lng was opened by patriotic singing
in which all joined, with Miss Lucia
Kancher at the piano.
After tho reading of the minutes
of last meeting, Miss Lela Bellows
rendered a finely executed piano
solo which received hearty applause.
This was followed by reports of sev
eral committees.
City Supt. A. G. Smith and Mrs.
Geo. Neuner, of the chapter school
committee for Douglas county, were
present and explained tho object and
work of the Junior Red Cross or
ganization. After a general discus
sion, It was voted to postpone fur
ther action In the inattor until the
next regular meeting, March 8, when
a complete report of contributions
by pupils can be made by tho teach-1
ers.
The closing number was a rend

CALLS
HER MEN IN U. S.
Britishers Between Ages
Of 20 and 40 Subject
Draft Soon.
URGE ENLISTMENTS NOW
liiillsh Subjects Wlio Kail to Answer
Country's Call Will Ilo Con
scripted Into American
Army Service. .
You have doubtless read in tho
newspapers the report that arrange'
menls have been made between the
llrlllsh and American governments
whereby all British and Canadian
subjects in America will soon be
come liable to conscription just as
they are in their own country.
There are In the United States
tens ot thousands ot British subjects
who hhve been enjoying the privi
leges of freedom and security you
are one of these and it Is to you
thin aDoeul Is made.
In Great Britain and Canada all
able bodied men are compelled by
law to enter their names for service
while you nnd other British subjects
In the United Statos have been free
to enlist or not as you pleased. 1 he
time has come, however, when this
Inequality of obligation must bo re
moved. Already a convention has been
signed In Washington whereby all
Britishers between the ages of JO
and 40 shall be liable to draft Into
the American army unless they en
list In the British or Canadian
forces. After the passage of the
necessairH legislation through con
cress you will have just sixty days
In which to choose between servico
with your fellow countrymen, or
service In the American army.
Although the signing of the alien
draft convention make3 It quite
clear that Britishers of military age
must either enlist within tho next
few weeks or be drafted, so that you
cannot escape your military obliga
tions, it is pointed out that you will
not be doing your full duty by wait
ing for the draft.
If you wait these few weeks to be
drafted Into the American army yon
will be making no addition to the
man power of the allies. You will
simply be taking the place of an
American who would otherwise have
been drafted. If you now join the
British or Canadian armies you will
constitute a positive addition to the
man power of the allies and every
addition nt this crisis Is of the ut
most Importance. The need Is for
men today and every day.

A bad time for bums is outlined
in a letter sent to the railroad com-
paulel operating In the state, by
Frank J. Miller, chairman of the
public service commission. Accord
ins to the letter Issued by Mr. .Mil
ler, trainmen are to be urged to pick
up and hold all train riders, and turn
them over to the first sheriff or dep
uty in sight. It Is believed that by
this menus, tho "hob&lng" epidemic
can be stopped. The movement to
curtail the free ride traffic started
with Governor Wlthycombe, and has
the backing of the railroad heads,
us well as of stale officials. Many
thousand men habitually make It a
practice to save car fare by "beat
lug" their way. this is not only caus
ing a loss to the companies, but Is
responsible lor much loss of life.
