Qulnby, chairman of the executive committee of the American Defense Society, writes as follows: "It ie con vinced to be a duty of the American Defense Society to present from time to time to the government for its In formation such public : opinion brought to Its notice as is evidenced by the views of intelligent and patri otic citizens. May we then transmit to you the suggestion that Immediate action is demanded because of Ger many's encroach men ta upon Russia and Die Far East. There is a general belief that the aid of the fighting mil lions of Japan and China is needed for the winning of the war, If it, is to be won without unnecessary delay and an unwarranted and appalling loss of American lives. The last statement gives the view of a large and Increasing body of our people, remarks the New York Post Express. We are flghtlng this war wtth an arm tied. The Buperb army of Japan is idle. If this were Japan's choice; If she took tho position that beyond standing guard against the actual attack of Germany upon the contiguous territory she did not feel willing to actively engage In the war, then there would be a valid reason for tills state of things. But Japan Is ren-dy to undertake war work which she thinks ought to be done and In which judgment our allies concur. If It Is as vitally necessary to defeat Germany as the president has said as we believe, then failure to use Japan h aid when it is offered is an anomaly. THIfl GREAT 1NVKHTMKNT. Stars and Stripes: The fnther nnd mother of one young American killed in action wrote recently to a mother outside whose window back home hangs a two-starred flag, and it Is our privilege to quote this 'passage from vholr unflinching letter: "Wo now know what Lincoln meant by 'the Inst full measure of devotion Our soldier was killed in Flandors under the roar of the can non. He Is buried thoro; and from our point .of view, there can be no more glorious resting place for a true patriot, fighting for Iho world-old cause of liberty, than In the conse crated Boll of France. "Ho was our all, but since he gave all excopt his hope of Heaven, we nniet consecrate ourselves to those who, In the trying days to come, are called to meet the awful shock of war." We shall all do our part a little better If we remember that the hearts of this father and this mother are with un now, if we but pray ihnt we may bo worthy of their transferred al legiance. For they belong to that company, that growing company, of those who have the groatont stulto In tills war. In It they havo made tho great investment. TO C0RVALLI3, Aug. IB.

An or der prohibiting the granting ot com missions in the army to men in civil- ian life between tho proposed draft ages of 18 to 45 haB been issued by Secretary of War Baker. This completely closes the door to civilians seeking ta enter the mili tary service by volunteering. An or der -had been previously issued sus pending all voluntary enlistments in the army and navy. . The only excoptlon made is in the case of students in officers' training camps. T-hey will be permitted to complete their courses and quality for commissions. Civilians not In training camps whose applications were approved be fore the order was Issued will be giv en commissions, but action on all other application for commissions will be suspended while the order is In force. It Is planned to continue the order in force until the passage of the man power bill now pending in congress, which Increases draft ages to 18 and 45 years. Secretory Daker explained that his reason for suspending army enlist ment was to check the Indiscriminate enlistment of men of the new draft ages before the law is passed. DANCE AT IHXONVILLK.
