IGARETS ARE NECESSARY FOR FIGHTING MEN eedful as a Gun to Men in Trenches; Few Moments For Peaceful Smoke It does not take much imagination picture the conditions in which a n has to live on the western front, d it takes even less imagination to '-lize how much he Is going to be lped in his nerve-shattering experi ces by an occasional cigaret. To riously discuss the question of Im ired efficiency under such circum mces is ridiculous. Very few nio nts occur for a peaceful smoke, lat with- the big shells, shrapnel, ?nch bombs and all the other ings. not to mention going "over e top." If a soldier has any chance i' a cigaret or pipe between these tertaimnents, who is going to be unreasonable as to deny it to him. >t any well-meaning man or woman this country, certainly. The soldiers in the trenches have oved that cigarets are now necessi :s rather than luxuries. No one. ter hearing the thousands of stories the pleasure and solace that the hting men in France have derived 3m cigarets, can ever doubt again at It has become an essential part every-day life. KfIV Objection* Rven before this country joined the ies. newspaper readers in America' 're familiar with the efforts i road to send cigarets to the sol era. Such campaigns were almost Important as rolling bandages and oducing munitions as far as work r the comfore of the men is con rned. It makes a very Interesting point at for some years really qualified ;n of science have known that cig ets were a very mild form of in lgence, and as harmless !n modera >n as many other things that we all regularly. And very few are dis sed to look askance at so conven it and mild a form of smoking, and ove all since absorbing the facts ought out by this great war. For this splendid, patriotic cause. 1 s have started our Tobacco Fund send cigarets and tobacco to our Idiers In France. It is a great en •prise and we count on every one this city to help out.

Congress will be asked immediately on recon- j vening to include men from 18 to 40 j In the draft. Amendments to the pres ent law are already in preparation The amendments will be Introduced by Representative Julius Kahn, Re publican. of California, ranking mem ber of the House military committee. Representative Kahn Is the father of the present draft act. Army ofticials are assuming that 1 this is to be no short war, and ever:, man who would not be more usetul at home is needed to bear arms. Speakers soon will start a campaign, it is hinted, to bring these facts homt to the people. The amendments will provide that every man between 18 and 21 and 31 and 40 shall be registered for military service. It is estimated that this will give the Government ail additional 12,000,000 men to draw upon. The • amendments provide, however, thai youths while obliged to register upon i attaining the age of IS, shall not bo called to the colors until they are 21 Provision also is made that no man I of more than 31 shall be called to the j colors until all the present draft— rfom 21 to 31—is used up, and the | boys who ha e attained the age of 211 since the June 5 registration shall also have been called. Representative Kahn's plan would give America a reserve of 19.000,000 , men to draw upon—all between IS and | : 4 °- Old Folks' Day Observed by Willing Workers' Class Canip Hill, Pa..

Dates -1 man's Sunday School Class, of which ' Mrs. Hattie W. Backman is president, i Dr. Silas C.

The Diary of aU-Boat Commander (Copyright, 117, by the New York Herahl Co.—All Rights Reserved) (Copyright Canada by New York Herald Company) (Translated from the Original German by Irving R. Bacon) " 'Well, Fritz, suppose you were In his place, would you not act the same way as he?' In nine cases out of ten I have to admit that I would act in precisely the same manner, for, there is no one so free from worry, cha grin, impatience, indignation over the meanness, chicanery and petti ness of those whom he comes in hourly contact but that the least seenilng indignity offered irritates him and arouses his anger and im pels him to acts which his sober, more leisurely reflection would never sanction. We always ought to re member the worries and woes and unhappiness which all of us are heir to, and then we would be more for giving and sympathetic, and the worid would be a more desirable place to live in and we would find our surroundings more tolerable." I interrupted my entry to see what the newsboys were calling out nt so late an hour. Their "extra" re lates to a threat of war. The pa per would have its readers believe that all Europe is likely to be em broiled in a war on account of Aus tria's grievance against Serbia. Such rot! A European war could not last a week without bankrupting every nation. I shall go to sleep quite soundly without fear from such a source. If there should be a war —well. 1 am a naval reservist and my all too brief experience in submarine work will not have been wasted. Sven and I spoke of submarines this after noon. He, too, has studied the sub- 1 ject. He thinks they will enter large ly into the next war—lf there Is a war. We are thoroughly agreed on both branches of this hypothetical proposition. 1914—31 July The "impossible" has been realiz-! ed. War has virtually been de clared. Austria's desire for revenge against Serbia for the assassination of her arcliducal pair has set afoot' the armies of all Europe. Revenge is no less sweet to nations than to individuals: but, alas! infinitely more costly, I was called to the service to-day, and my poor Minna has been weeping since I showed her the noti fication. 1 will leave for Kiel to morrow. Nothing appears to escape our Ar-' gus-eyed government. Why orderi me to Veport at Kiel unless thev knew of my penchant for subma-l rlne boats? At any rate, I hope that,' if there must be war, I shall be as signed to the U-boat branch of the service. Minna's parents—Ood bless them —said they did not believe the war would last more than a week or two at the utmost, and that when it is all over and I am back the .marriage shall take place at once. Sven is not as optimistic about the war's duration. He is of the opinion that the economic rivalries involved call for an all around read justment of "checks and balances" nnd that this cannot be accomplished In less than an least six months or a year. Our friend Fritz, who has been freed now tbat his Englishman is out of the hospital and declines to press any charge, is even more pessi mistic iii his prediction of the war prospects. "Sven takes a too one-sided view." he said. "By the time the nations at war will have recognized the proper economic alignments all the evil pas sions which escaped from the Pan dora box will have come about our ears, and there will be no peace pos sible for the world for years and years." In one of his characteristic talks Fritz treated us to a veritable dis quisition on which might be termed "Things in General, and Hatred and Revenge in Particular." "Have history and your own ex perience spoken to you in vain?" he asked. "Have you not yet learned that of all animals man is the most hloodthirstv, ferocious and cruel? One French writer calls man 'the pre-eminently criminal animal.' And, indeed, what other animal besides man. not even excluding the hyena and tiger, slays except in rage and to appease hunger? Man is the only creature that slays for a pastime— the only one that goes hunting to augment his pleasure. It makes my blood boil to see ministers of the Gospel with the New Testament in one hand and the hunting knife :n REGISTERING FOR 1 C. E.

If Cuticura did no more than soothe i and heal eczemas, rashes, itchings and burnings,bringingspeedycomfort totor- . tured, disfigured men, women and chil- i dren, it would be entitled to the highest . praise.

The hypo-; crltes! "And what are entire governments; but hypocrites? Is not the so-called 'checks and balances' system a mere j euphemism for what everybody ought to know by Its right name — a restraint to hold each nation in leash to prevent It from attacking and destroying Its neighbor? Selfish ness Is at the bottom of It. Each wants everything. And what each lacks it envies In the other. And from envy spring hatred and an ger, which are apt to beget that 'brief madness' in nations which Seneca j found in individual men, only that the 'brief mildness' of nations lasts immeasurably longer. And once un-1 ger Is aroused is any provocation too i trifling to tan It Into a tight? For! anger has the peculiarity of distort- j ing and exaggerating the objects which provoke it; nnd these again, i by their seemingly increased magni- j tude and importance, screw up anger i to a higher pitch, and thus by action I : and reaction playing reciprocally in-j to each other's hands a nation's fury may come to know no bounds and j can be lulled only by monstrous acts j , of revenge. "And. my dear children" —Fritz; is two years older than Sven and I, hut thirty years wiser and better In- I formed; hence the paternal tone —! "that is why I look forward to an-| other seven years' war. Nor will it remain confined to the countries; which are beginnint it. All Europe! will be aflame, and It would be as- j tonishing if the other continents es-j caped. It will be a vortex Into which, as likely as not, the whole earth will be drawn." "You draw too black a prospect," I said. "You assume that the na tions are ethically no further ad vanced than they were before mod-! ern inventions and enlightenment j pervaded every corner of the globe." "Po-ho!" drawled Fritz. "So you. still imagine that the degree of one's) intelligence has an influence upon his moral character? How often must I tell you, Hans, that a bad man remains bad despite the highest : culture; a brutal man brutal though he have absorbed all that our much , boasted Kultur may boast of. I do I not gainsay the fact that education ' gives a veneer which enables Its pos i sessor to curb and conceal Ills evil , ide —until the evil In him becomes too overpowering. When this hap -1 pens the dictates of reason are swept aside; the mind, though trained in every department of Kultur, serves , merely to point the way to an easier . outlet for the passions. A cultured scoundrel, in other words, is im • measurably more dangerous to so ciety than a boorish scoundrel. Mind, the light bearer, can do no more than widen the horizon within which lie i! the objects which may serve as mo ■ tives to our will, which, as I have , often explained, is our true self— . the real radical of our ego. And • what is true of man individually is ; true of men colectively. Nations are • but aggregates of Individuals and have all the selfishness, baseness, • meanness, brutality and flendishness which are Inherent In the individuals . Do not deceive yourself; while th-re 1 ■ is no doubt that there are some dis-1 . interested, generous, spirited, noble I I characters, the great bulk of man | kind is inoculated with the darker i! traits; just as there are but com paratively few intellectual giants and 1 genuises who shine out like stars I amid the common herd of shallow, i flat-headed dullards." 1 . | Notwithstanding Fritz's impas .' sioned arraignment of humanity, 1 neither Sven nor I could take the t' same dark view. For my part, I ' feel that the expense Involved and frightful destructlveness of mod ern weapons make it utterly impos j sible to conduct a long war nowa i days. Mathematicians have calcula > ted that lit would cost Germany • . alone ten billion marks a year, not to -mention the almost unthinkable great destruction of life and prop r j crty.
