The data was compiled by J. Herman Knisely, chief of the bu -1 reau, which is a branch of the de | partment of labor and industry. The cost in Heading is $115,000 for ! 104 policemen, while Corry, which has four, the smallest number, pays ,I $3,820. The annual wage cost for j each policeman runs from $1,140 in Johnstown to SBOO in Williamsport. The lowest cost per capita of popu lation is 36 cents in Carbondale, which has one policeman to each 2,799 persons, and the highest is $1.33 in Erie. Demands of traffic regulation have ; caused increases of police forces in most of the cities in the last few ; years. I The table of costs is as follows: | tion.

What shall we do: turn over and dream as did the Turks before Bozzaris during the night of their annihilation, or shall we realize that this means Arise. Americans, and gird yourselves, for the world looks to us to do our duty for liberty and | civilization! We need men, we need ships, we need munitions. Without ships we cnnnot transport our troops, nor can we carry food, munitions or coal to the allies. Consider that the total shipbuilding capacity of all the allied plants and yards is approxi mately 3.000,000 tons a year. The average loss by submarine warfare admitted by the allies Is 500,000 tons a month or the loss each year of a tonnago equal to the entire new out put and an additional 3,000,000 tons of the standing tonnage. Thus far over one-fifth of the entire tonnage of the world Is at the bottom of the ocean. Another thing—as tonnago decreases, so does the means of car rying shipbuilding materials to the allies, thus decreasing their building output while the submarines are con stantly increasing in number, size and efficiency. England and France can spare us no ships—they scarcely have enough for home trfflc. Therefore, the trail leads straight back to American tonnage activity and men to win this war if you do your part, or to lose It if you -don't. Without all of the above necessary aids furnished by us, the allies cause may soon wane and with its waning will result a defensive warfare by the United States —and what a defensive warfare! when you realize that a great part of our coal mines and munition plants are included within a very small section of the Eastern Coast States and that their destruction would be a terrible calamity to our hope of even arhied self-defense, you can understand what It Is we seek to avoid—the invasion of America. When you realize further that one loaded ship leaving every hour in the day is necessary to supply 100.000 of our own men (and we contemplate using millions), you can gain an idea of the number of ships necessary for our own forces. Then consider the ships to carry supplies for the allies j and the necessary enormous supplies themselves, including the coal neces sary to run their warships, which, during our period of preparation, must be our defense against invasion, and which without our coal lose every particle of offensive power outside the range of their guns. If. then, we hope to co-operate in this war for American rights and in ternational freedom, everyone must do his or her bit. There's plenty of work at good pay for everyone. Men between the ages of IS and 40, and drafted men not yet called, can as volunteers select any open branch of the service they so desire with splen did opportunities for promotion with ! advanced pay and privileges. The select branches of service are being filled entirely with volunteers, and now is the time to volunteer—not next month nor next year. Your Country wants you now, needs you now, and your own heart should tell you whether you should take your Country's part, your own part and the part of all those who look to you to do your share in maintaining the dignity of our Nation and the honor of our flag. Act! Don't be deceived either by a false sentiment of "Business as usual." Business mustn't be "as usual"—it must be greater than usual if we want to get anywhere in this war. The "business" of this Nation now is war. Industrial activities should be carried out mindfully of and as an aid to this war. As it is, the war is being used by many merely as an I aid to their respective enterprises, j which is neither patriotic nor effica i cious. There are hundreds of young men in this country perfectly fit to get out and do something. Are they doing it'.' Go out any night in any city or town and what do you find? In this connection it has been said that deplorable conditions have been found to exist during the physical examinations in various thickly-popu lated centers, frequently due to causes easily prevented. How much better would it have been if these young men had em ployed even a small part of their time in becoming physically lit to, in some manner, ssist in maintaining their country's interests instead of having to be, while still young, placed on the shelf as physically incompetent. What a sad commentary it is on "American activity" that, while as suming that the body of the Ameri can people are behind this war, their interest in it seems to be more nearly that of spectators than participants. Slothfulness on the part of the Amer ican people is a powerful weapon against us in the hands of Germany as indicating lack of moral support by us and apathy regarding the cause, lack of realization of what the war actually means to us. Must it be necessary to bring it to your very doors before you will re alize there is a war? It may not be as real to you as to the people of France or England, but it will be Just at. real to families bereaved of loved ones partly through lack of nation wide moral as well as physical sup port. Don't you realize, then, you men of America, that nation-wide recruit ing activity would be one of the greatest possible inducements to Ger many to quit? That a rush of volun teers to the colors would be the clear est possible evidence to Germany that the entire weight and strength of this Nation was in this war, and would not Germany's secret agents, who are no fools, with their fingers on the pulse of the situation, promptly ad vise their government that America was awake and had arisen!

DRAMATIC TIME INLUTHERSLIFE "I Neither Can Nor Will Re cant Anything" Reform ation Anniversary. Every one's dinner got cold in Worms when Martin Luther, out lawed, came to answer for himself ;it tho first Diet the Emperor Charles V. held in that city in 1521. Every body tried to get into the hall where the Emperor heard him. He was the idol of the German people, the fear of tho foreigners and the champion of right. Tile Doctors Disagree. Luther had been excommunicated the year before. Excommunication not only barred from the Church and the hope of heaven, but it also made a man an outlaw and even called on the faithful and the civil authorities to put him out of the way. Luther had defied the Pope. Me affirmed that the Pope and even the whole church might err, and when they erred from the truth of God's word their authority ended. He was forced to speak out this logical conclusion of his ideas by a debate, beginning on July 4, 1519, with Eck, a great debater and a very learned man. Uproar and confusion followed. The Emperor adjourned the session as Luther said: "I cannot do other wise. Here I stand. God help me." That was the stand which affected modern religious liberty and through it to a large degree modern democratic ideals. Individual demo cratic freedom in and under God's Word is the hope of national and international progress. It is one of those strange freaks of history that the land which gave Luther, the champion of progress and liberty, to the world now stands in the way of the realization of those ideals.
