Over a little shop In the moat crowded part of New York ar» displayed the national colors and under them a sign "Celebrate! I'm 858!"

That's the proper spirit, and It Is credit to young men the country over that It la the spirit generally found among the drafted men. Her® and there Is a youth frightened by his big responsibility, by the change in his mode of life which the figures on his card have made, by the prospect of possible wounds or death Here and there is one who resents his forced enrollment. But these ar« few. For the most part the national army is being formed of men who feel the sense of dwty and are going proudly to fulfill it. "Celebrate! I'm 258!" is likely to go down in the history of the country with Other famous sayings: "Give me liberty or give me death!" "You may Are when you are ready, Mr. Gridley," are fit company for it- Perhaps it Is an omen that it may soon be Joined by a Modern version of "We have met the •nemy and they are ours."

Mr. O'Mallefjr, one of Vigo oounty's three 258's was physically perfect, and was the first man accepted by the board yesterday. He remarked: 'I'm ready now.".'*

THE PUZZLE OF THE EA*T.

War news indicates that the allies are disposed to invite Japan further into the struggle, and the attitude of that country that it is doing its bit in furnishing Russia with ordnance and ipunltlon hardly satisfies longer. J^'.Kie war in Europe has reached a stags where the use of Japan's great army may be necessary to prevent Teutonic success. Complete Russian eoll&rse means superman efforts on the part of Great Britain and the United States to bring about a crushing German defeat. France and Italy ore apparently at the end of their resources.

It will require a year or more before Hie United States can hope to have an effective army of any great size in France. Meanwhile the continued suc

cess of the submarine campaign would bring Germany appreciably nearer *to a German victory.

Japan has a fine army, tally equipped, which could be started for the firing line within a few days. Before winter she could take over enough of the Russian line to Insure stability, and by next spring she would be in position to start an offensive. Japan troops could immeasurably strengthen the allies in Mesopotamia and at Salonikl. Her fleet could be used effectively In hunting down the submarines and In smothering the German fleet, when the time comes.

The question will be asked, How ran Japan be induced to

Bend

her troops

to Europe? The obvious answer is that an agreement between Great Britain and^the United States to give her a free hand In China, jr at least to insure her a greatly enlarged sphere of Influence In that country, would probably turn the trick.

It must be borne in mind also that a German victory in Europe would threaten Japan's ascendancy In the orient,' for Germany will insist upon reparation from Japan for what she ha* done in the war.

HERE'8 GOOD NEWS.

The statisticians are busy with wai figures. Roger Babson finds that, contrary to general belief, only one soldier out of five in the French army has been either killed or wounded, and only one out of 30 is killed under modern conditions. And it is certain our men will never have to fight under conditions such as the French did in the first year of the war.

FRIEND OR FOE.

"It would be manifestly unfair," says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "to conscript citizens and men who have takep first stepfc toward citizenship and to grant all aliens a blanket exemption, as the present law contemplates. Such action puts a premium on neglect and evasion it penalizes the foreign born for doing precisely what every Americanization agency in the country has urged them for years tO dO,",'

Much of the complaint againjt selective conscription, as the system has been worked out in- recent years, has been against the unfairness shown toward communities which contain unusual numbers of aliens in their population. Draft quotas have been based practically upon each community's registration, from which it is obvious that communities with unusual proportions of aliens are forced to beajf more than their just share of the burden of service.

This condition would in large part be corrected by making aliens liable to service. In view of the virtually world wide alliance against Prussia, it Is scarcely to be anticipated that other, nations will seriously protest the suggested action by cpngress.

The place for an alien—except enemy alien—of proper age and fitness Is either in the army of the United States, If he Is needed, or back la the

country of his afTectlons. The point seems clear. Fortunately, congress appears ready to act. "Congress is determined," says Senator Harding, "that aliens who enjo the privilege of making their domicil* here shall not fatten themselves in ingratitude and escape obligations they owe in time of national stress." Th entire country will applaud the enactment of the Chamberlain measure.

HUNT 'EM UP.

The Tribune has befen requested to say that although the city "campaign'' for the Red Cross is ended, the workers are still receiving funds from all disposed to give.

Solicitors with full authority to collect funds and take subscriptions have canvassed the city for individual givers, industrial groups have been appealed to through the. co-operation of the employers and opportunities for aiding this humanitarian project hav» been freely offered yet it is.probable that some thousands of men and women have not as yet been directly approached upon the subject of their personal participation- It is important from every standpoint that such people shall set Into communication with some representative of the campaign organization and subscribe.

We have here a community approaching 100,000 population including suburbs immediately adjoining.. Practically every adult member of the community is financially able to make himself a partner In this vast relief project. The amount each contributes is less important than that ep.ch gets on the lists for some amount.: No sum is too s i n i i a n o e n i e i s o n o o o n -j sideration. No exctitresis sufficient for one who, having at least some small i sum available or in prospect, refuses to pledge some of it for the Red Cross.

This is, in every sense, a people's effort. It Is the pftrf the people back o e w o a e n o n e e e a e o n a e o i n o s u o o s e w o s e u y lies nearer the firing line. Never before in the world's history has human- i ity so sadly needed the ministrations which the Red Cross is prepared to give 1f the public supports it.

Let every one make himself a partner in this greatest of ail humanitarian undertakings. It Is an opportunity none can afford to shirk. I .•'.v' fj.) -i*?!."!

WQtaANrS PLACE.

as Judge Newton said to the lady arrested yesterday for fighting, "You ought to join the Legion of Death in Russia."

There is something for reflect'ort in the thought. ,It goe^, to show how inane it Is any pore to talk about "woman's place." Evidence accumulates that her place is no longer ,limited by mind, apparel or. sex.

Press dispatches giving particulars of this Legion of Death, composed of Russian women who have shamed the quitters among the male soldiers op-

posing the Teutons on the east front, leave no doubt that there are considerable numbers of women in the battle line or training, for act lye serviceThere are said to be some of tnem In the German and Austrian armies also.

The women fight as men, with heads shaved and wearing the regular army uniform and heavy boots.

Women soldiers are no new thing under the sun. Gree-k writers tell of a race of much-feared women warriors living in Scythia. known as Amazons, whom Hercules fought and defeated under command of their queen, Hippolyta. The king of Dahomey, West AfT rlca, maintained a 'bodyguard of women "ighters, who were more than a match for the savage troops sent against them.

History recites many other Instances of women soldiers, but, a* a rule, they did not take up arms except from necessity, through the inability or failure of the men to do their duty as natural protectors- This seems to be the moving reason for the formation of the Russian Legion of Death. While some of the men have shown the white feather, the women have risen to the occasion, fully holding their own with t\e troops opposed to them.

It is to be hoped that the men of Russia have already been shamed by 'his exhibition and that the Yjegion of Death will only survive as a memory of voman's heroic devotion and self-sac-riflee at a time of national peril.

A Youngstown man who served nine years in tbe German army wants to enlist to fight against the kaiser. Maybe all we've heard about German army discipline is true, after all.

A Terre Haute woman suggests that an army of American girls be sent to France to keep the soldiers from becoming lonesome. Would that be altogether fair to the nurses?

HOROSCOPE.

"Tlio Stars Incline, Ilut Compel." Copyright, 1910, by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Saturday, August 1917.

A doubtful 'day in which to exercise caution, astrologers declare. While Venus and Mars are in beneflc aspect, Mercury and Jupiter are adverse.

It Is an especially fortunate day for those who are engaged or married to soldiers, as it makes for mutual confidence and promises happiness.

This should be a very lucky wedding day, especially where the bridegroom Is in the army.

There is a promising srgn for all who deal in steel or iron. They should be careful, however, as contracts signed under this configuration probably will bo unlucky.

Actors and singers should benefit by this rule of the stars. It is a lucky day for hotel and restaurant managers, although heavy losses are prognosticated through some public act or national conditions.

Again attention is directed to the possible growth of what may be called a world hysteria in which the human mind becomes exceedingly sensitive to morbid impressions and loses in reasoning power. It is this which will cause more revolutions in Europe.

King Alfonso of Spain, who came under a threating aspect the first of the year, will find September a critical period, the seers declare, and he will suffer a severe bereavement.

As If to offset the loss of men "In the war, the stars presage a great mortality among women in the United States as well as in Europe.

The triple conjunction of Mercury, Saturn and N'ptune near the piace of Saturn and in opposition to Neptune in the kaiser's horoscope is re,ad as indicating a grave financial crisis, which is close at hand.

Persons whose birthdate it is may experience-trouble through documents or legal papers. They should avoid speculation and concentrate-on practical affairs.

Children horn on this day may be so imaginative as to become untruthful, 'These subjects of Leo should be nulcR of mind and ambitious to bo leaders-
