Entered at the postoffice in Decatur, Indiana, as second-class matter. There is a marked improvement in lhe step and the appearance of tie* members of company A and there will be even more improvement during the next few weeks. If the boys remain here two or three weeks, they will report at Fort Harrison as flue a looking hunch as will come from any where, with the move and appearance of veterans. Peace talk gains ground. It is coming slowly as might be expected but it is coming and we honestly believe that another few months will end the greatest war of all time and peace will reign again for many decades. Perhaps the desire is father to the though! but any way the expressions front every nation engaged in Europe • indicates that end more now than at any time in the past three years. In the rush of securing the new ; from the conscriptive examination, now on and which will continue for a couple of weeks, it is expected, it is easy to make a mistake. We of course gladly correct these if called to our attention. our desire being only and all the time to give the news in as accurate a manner as is possible. The board lias requested that the cause of rejection for physical disability be withheld and this request will of course be compiled with, it being deemed best for every one concerned. Boys between the ages of 16 and 2b are to have their chance now, not as soldiers at tlie front but as a part of the great army which must keep business and production moving at honn . The Boys Working Reserve, U.‘ S. A., is being organized and every lad between those ages, drafted for service. This will in no way interfere with a boy's education or any plans the parents may have but is to provide suitable employment, clean association, proper instruction for every boy. Summer camps will lie held and the boys will enjoy it when they get started Those who start the work and show the proper ability will of course have an advantage. The wide-awake youngsters of *this community should be getting busy. The modest presentation to Captain Dunn, by a committee of liis fellow lownsmen from Bluffton. of a check for $253.50, was a generous act and v further proof that the Bluffton business men are live citizens and patriotic Americans. The four men who made the trip to this city deserve credit for their splendid act and Captain Dunn, we know, appreciates their efforts. That the local captain lias devoted several months of his time at a great sacrifice is well known and not being of the idle rich class, it has been

a severe drain on his purse. It has taken much pluck and patriotism to go i a head and lie is deserving of this tribute of the high regard in which he is held at Bluffton. That be will give every ounce of his ability to make the company one thut will bring credit to ills state and to the counties which In thus represents, is the belief of thus) who know hint. W. J. Bryan, the world's greatest pacifist, said in his recent speech at Fort Harrison: "No matter how short or how long the war, the shortest road to peace is the road straight ahead, with no division in the American people. Any division would make the war much more costly in money anti in men. The one overshac! v...i fact that we intißt make the world understand is that the nation stands as . :an and ihat no mutter how long the war lasts we shall oppose the enemy with one solid and indissoluble front. In great America one of our cherished rigiits lis freedom of speech, but freedom of speech ends when .the nation once has made up its mind and reached its decision. Our nation is one. The man who in this hour of trial raises a discordant voice, that man's heart is not with his country, let me say. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY g U: ta: ;a:a:: :k: ::::a::;a: :s: at ” WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR.
