From tho battlefields In Franco thoro conies an unspoken call that Bhould find on answer In every Amer ican's heart. Tho recent great events in HureneiUhcjauoofcases of American Arms on tho fields of Franco should npur overy Amorlcan to greater ef fort Our peoplo at homo should not rest on tho laurels of our soldiers In France. Every death on tho field of honor In tho lino of duty and for our country's causo should bo a call to us for overy sacrlflco and overy exor ilon to aid the cause for which our soldlora aro fighting, for which our soldiers havo died. Increase production, decrcaso con sumption, save, and lend to tho gov crnmont. Every cent lent to tho United States Is used to support, strengthen and aid our soldiers In Franco. THE HARTRANFT PETITION. Tho charges brought against Food Administrator Hartranft In tho peti tion reported In Tho Bulletin yester day aro of a very general nature. Wo doubt if tho officials to whom tho petition is addressed will consider it without moro detailed speclflcat oiu of dereliction of duty, and Mr. Hart ran ft Is entitled to know in detail tho charges against him. Tho general public, if it Is to be asked to form an opinion In tho matter, is also entitled to know tho facts so that It can make up Its mind. As tho matter stands now no facts aro alleged. There aro simply gen eral charges of discrimination and partiality. If any of theso can bo proved, Mr. Hartranft ought to be removed; if they cannot be proved bo ought to stay on the Job and be given the assistance of every citizen In tho county. In the meantime, until the facts are brought out it is duo him that Judgment be suspended. man in college, conscientiously train.

This sort of thlngi ivs a matter of fact, has been ono factor In keoptng high school boys rostloss and unablo to sottlo'down to tho steady, hard grind of study nocdod If thoy nro to be come of any value to tho country In lines needing trained minds. It will not bo tho policy of tho war department to call for service at tho front theso young mombors of tho Students' Army Training corps, ex cept In caso of gravo emergency.

This instruction will bo In chargo of regularly appointed commissioned and non-commlssloneil otficors of tho United States army, with whom will co-oporato a considerable body of faculty members and undergradu ates who aro now taking training thomsolvcs In ono of threo camps In various parts of tho country, fitting themsolves to act ns assistant in structors. Ono of theso enmps, at tho Presidio, has nt prcsont moro than ono hundrod university and col- lego men of Oregon preparing them solves to help In this military In struction work. Tho plan has been well thought out by tho war department, and tho details havo been announced by tho adjutant general. It Is tho young student's duty to follow tho course mapped out for him by tho war de partment. Ho should bo encouraged In this sane, constructive, patriotic course. To quoto Secretary Raker: "Tho importance of this plan for combined military and colleglato training. If wo aro to meet In tho futuro the urgent needs of tho army for highly trained men, is so great that tho war department earnestly requests tho colleges, councils of defense and other patriotic societies to co-opcrato in bringing it to tho attention of the young men of tho country and In urging them to do their part to mako It a success." AIRMEN'S SLANG HAS IDE RANGE RICKENBACIIER TELLS HOW TO KNOW IT. Aerophuto Miner Known by Any Wonl Among Them but "Can" Easy to Set It Allro If You Aro Not Watching. Ono of tho first things to bo dis closed by the recent Introduction of I tho sugar card was the fact that -various people wero moro Interested In trying to get a good supply for themselves than In co-operating with tho food administration, and denying themselves in order that our soldiers and our allies might bo cared for. The sugar rules, liko all the other food regulations, are designed to treat overyono alike. The individ uals who break them, or who try to get an advantage over their fellows, aro slackers of the worst sort. They deserve tho most severe penalties that can bo given them. MAILING YOURSELF MONEY. Every time you stick a thrift or war savings stamp on your card you aro mailing money to yourself to be received later with Interest. Cashing in theso stamps Is going to bo better than "getting money from home," for with tho money comes the re minder that you contributed to the great victory which then will havo been completely won. HOW CAN I SERVE? How pan I best servo my country, is tho question that recurs, again and again, to the patriotic young man below the draft age. Tho war department, through Sec retary Uaker, has undertaken to answer this question through tho or ganization of the new Students' Army Training corps, a branch of tho United States army, which will bo installed In all universities and colleges having more than ono hun dred malo students, in September, Tho department is asking that the young men below draft age enter collego or contlnuo their work there, join tho new corps, and fit themselves as thoroughly as possible for the Jiighest typo of service for which thoy aro capable Danger of depletion of the supply of trained men In arts and sciences, nooded both in war nnd peace, has nppoaled strongly to the secretary of war. In common with tho President of tho United States, the secretary liolds It to bo a patriotic duty for tho young men to contlnuo their training until called. Members of tho now corps, it is nnnoun'cddwlll b6 regularly enlisted soldiers' 'of1 tho United States army, subject "lb' call for service at any tlmo shduld' thoro be an emergency.

Wo do not know Just what form of action or inaction first drew down on an Individual the opproblouB namo of slacker, but It could not have been much worse than tho business of signing pledges for Red Cross sub scriptions and then failing to pay them. It Is easy to sign a pledge to pay, and fine to see your namo In tho paper and have your neighbor sco It and think what a generous fellow you are. It is also easy to forget about it right away and to pay no attontion to notices. And since tho names of the ones who do not pay are nover published you may rest secure in tho publicity you gained when your namo was first published. Publish tho names of thoso who do not pay, wo say. When a man Is a slacker ho ought to be branded as one, and especially ho ought not to havo such credit as may havo come from having his name In a list of subscribers. Namo the slackers. PRETTY LEGEND OF NIAGARA How the Great Lakes Joined In Their Wondrous Leap Over the Fa. mo us Ridge.

"Come Sul Come Hu Come Mil Como Clal (The names stand In order for Erie, Superior, Huron, Michigan and St. Clulr). Let us awny to tho sen, where tho foaming breakers rourl" So they left their lodge nnd leaped nnd sang with happy henrts. Their robeH wero of blue nnd chryHollte green nnd floated on tho breeze. Their moccuslns wero of frozen water drops und their wings of painted wind. And they scam pered and romped across tho plain or floated beneath the filer, or rushed pnst valley and hill and field, singing und shouting with glee. At lust they enmo to a precipice of Jnggcd rocks nnd moss. "AJasl" cried Er, "whnt n dread, ful leap! Rut wo have como so fur that wo roust go on or our fnthcr will laugh nt us I So come Sul Como IIul Como Ml Como Cln I nnd follow mo I" So over tho steep they sprung nnd floated down on their pnlnted wings. They leaped and they sang like happy hearted birds. Then tho little Er cried : "Let us up and down tho steep ugnln I" And up and down tho five maids' skipped and laughed at tho sport and foam and called It Niagara Falls, And today, through tho rulnbow mist, you may see their robes of blue and chryso llto green and their painted wings and their twinkling feet, ns tho five piny Jn tho waterfall.

"Wo'll start out with tho rudi ments of tho aviators' language," said Rlckonbacher. "It completely Ignores tho study of grammatical for mations. Tho only formations wo know aro aoro formation, which Is group flying. "First of nil, thoro's nn nlrplano. With us It Is novor nn nlrplnno It's always known an a 'can.'

" 'Letting them havo It' Is Just the aviation way of saying yoif'ro tiring tho machlno gun as fast as it will go, Into Holnlo. You almost always havo a chance when you go to n pink tea. " 'Going to n pink tea' Is going up In tho air after a German. Cuckoo birds aro always talking about pink toas, though they nover lmvo them. A cuckoo bird Is nn aviator who does all his fighting while nono of tho glmpors aro around, and then comos back and tells about It.

Usually you try to 'get under his tall,' which Is behind and under him and coming after him. I Ho can't shoot then, and you can, "Ho would probably 'zoom' or 'dlvo' or 'vrlllo' then. If ho zooms ho runs for home; If he dives he goes straight groundward without turning, while If ho vrlllcs ho dives, turning around like a top, so It's difficult to shoot him. "If It's a glmper you'vo piqued on and plquo Is' only tho aviation way of saying attacked or charged at ho wobbles his flappers frantically, probably to signal you.

TELL OF ENEMY'S APPROACH Certain Birds and Animals Make tha Oest Kind of Sentinels That an Army Can Employ, A wounded soldier, asked what had surprised htm most In the buttle rone, told of finding it robin's nest In nn empty shell case. Am n rule birds nro the lines t sen tinel In the iiuluml kingdom, They become nwnro of approaching aircraft long before ninn hours nnythltig.

The "blister" makes no sound, yet, should one appear against the sky, miles from n fnrnt.vitrd, tho farmer will bo miulo nwnro of the fact by the curious unties of his pig and the clucking of his hens. Toy dogs always nn susceptible to the presence of danger, nnd ninny n pet Bhmva uneasiness beforo n mid. Cats, too, show fear of gunfire and seem to know when danger threatens.
