Other men municipal jurisdiction over are enter¢d in the second officers' training corps and will swell the north shore's representation among the officers of the new national army soon to be formed. The families of the north shore have every reason to be proud of the showing which their sons have made in the demand upon good citizenship. Ready response to the call of duty, excellent work in the preparation for service, high standards of duty and high quality of manhood have char- acterized the young men "of this sec- tion. It is a record in which to re- joice, even though the" time is so serious and many are going out in 'their prime of young manhood never to return to their homes. |B -8. 0. -§.- Work for Conscientious Objectors. The ruling of President Wilson to the effect that men who claim ex- emption on the grounds of conscien- tious objection to fighting are to be sent to the army camps there to do work of a non-military character, is just and right and should be as ac- ceptable to sincere objectors on reli- gious grounds as any other work to be done for the country when it needs their help. Honest men who, refuse to fight when the country is calling for men will be glad for the opportunity which is thus given them to show that their scruples are not assumed merely to avoid the sacrifice which is asked of They will be glad to be permitted to show that it is a privilege to do whatever may be done without sacrifice of principles, every ablebodied man. to give up personal convenience and personal comfort, just as the men who are wearing the uniform of the country are doing, to be able to do their bit in a way to show that it is not cowardice masquerading under the cloak of religion which has made them keep out of the ranks of the military organization. Religious objectors who complain at the decree of the president which sets them at work to do what is necessary to be done and which does not in any way conflict with the prin- ciples of their professed faith, will set the seal of insincerity upon their : protestations and expose themselves to the contempt of the community. | = 0.0.0. Hard to Catalogue. It is hard to catalogue women who from that which ha sbeen considered in years past as the home of the favored of the gods. Greek and Pole appear in close neighborhood with Scandinavian, German, Scotch, French and Irish. The name which suggests several generations of American citizenship is, indeed, rarer than that which tells the story of late immigration from the central and southern European countries, nations of Europe will be represented in the draft army. The community of interest among the men of the army, the enforced intimacy of life in the training camp and later the comradeship of fellow soldiers in the active army at the front, will do more towards eliminating the differences between the men who have recently come to us and those whose families have lived here for several genera- tions than many years of the volun- tary segregation of the normal life of the immigrant family. Good may be derived on both sides from such contact. From the men who have sought America as a refuge from op- pression and lack of opportunity in their home lands, appreciation of the meaning of liberty and a chance in life in the new country will be gained. From the there ought to be such evidence of the prin- native American ciples upon which: the country is founded as to increase the devotion of the American of foreign birth and develop a new sense of the privilege and obligation which go with the ex- tension of citizenship. ES EES Es Regulation Needed Here. A meatless day and a wheatless day are asked of the people of America in the interests of the distribution of our supply of wheat and meats to our own people and the nations at war with us against Germany to sup- plement the product of their own lands. "Many people, even at this time when we have not in any meas- ure sensed the war, have instituted meals or days in which the articles which it is desired to save are not served. Many others will come to that degree of helpfulness as the time draws nearer for the sending of large bodies of our men to foreign shores, and the actual presence of war begins to be felt. are undoubtedly possessed of brains, America as a melting pot of the old growth on the property of the indi- the where there is privilege of doing pre- expenditure of public money ventive work upon the trees. Every householder niust look to his own property, must watch his own trees for signs of invasion and do what is If everyone were to do this, the prob- requisite to destroy the pest. lem of our trees would be met, but the present apparent indifference to the welfare of the elms and the maples, does not offer promise of an assumption of the responsibility by the majority of residents of the north shore. he EE EE They Get the Idea.
