SLACKER ROUND-UPS.

fWholesale arrests of men suspected of being draft slackers are reported from all over the country. It does not follow that every man of draft age who fails to produce a registration card when accosted Is a slacker. The only way to get at the facts, however, is to round up the suspect^ Those who can prove exemption or that they are awaiting calls are at once released the others are sent to training camps.

The feature of the selective service law that has made It bearable is Its promise of fairness. It loses this virture if favoritism Is shown or if men who should £o are allowed to slip through the meshes of the law. There Is general satisfaction, therefore, over the fact that a systematic effort is being made to round up the slackers. Those who are wrongfully suspected can bear the temporary inconvenience, the result of their own carelessness in failing to keep their cards handy, in the thought that many who have escaped their obligation* through chicanery are being brought to boolc.

Senator Smoot and some of the republican senators who try to play politics with the-serious business of war, uttered an objection yesterday in the senate to these raids and demanded an "investigation."

Secretary of Wfcr Baker replied that

thf results obtained, "four hundred slackers arrested in Boston, six hundred in Chicago, and twelve hundred in New York, were ample Justification for the raids, in his mind.

Every American soldier and the parent of every American soldier will think so, too. Of eonrse, there is no logic In defending a slacker. The republicans merely wanted to embarrass President Wilson and his war administration.

THE FIRST WAVES.

Every public leader in the allied nations today Is warning against the next German peaoe offensive. It win be the ruse of the Potsdam crowd to save their hides and keep Prussian militarism intact for another war later on. Here is a good epcample of the gas attack: "We speak openly of victory," said the utuwu prince. "The word victory must not be understood to mean that we want to annihilate our enemies, but only that we mean to hold our own and not let ourselves be vanquished. The moment England entered the war that was clear to me, and I always emphasised it."

That being so, what was the crown prince thinking about before England entered ths war? H# implies that there was some change In his thinking at that moment, and the inference is that before England came in he was thinking of annihilation for the enemies of Germany. He was certainty thinking of the annihilation of Belgium, If what happened there is any measure ol German thought, and the utterances of a thousand voices in Germany show that the thought of subjugation and conquest is never absent from the German mind when things aro going the German way.

Reverses and disoouragement always change their tone. Having taken a good beating himself on the Ma me and being witness to the thrashing that the other crown prince's army is getting, the crown prince suddenly recalls the fact that he never did believe in a smashing victory for Germany after England came in. Perhaps, if he searched his memory again and told the truth, he would admit that about the time Russia dropped out his mind underwent a temporary change, along with that of the whole Potsdam gang, and that he was then in favor of a victory which would annihilate Russia. The history of what happened to Russia and. what has since happened to the old provinces of Russia indicate that destruction was a part o? the German policy then, and is still

CfTY PHYSICIAN STRONGLY ADVlSES ALL PERSONS TO HAVE BLOOD EXAMINATIONS MADE BY FAMILY DOCTOR SAYS THOUSANDS SUFFER FROM IRON DEFICIENCY

And think Its "overwork,** "too saaeh worry," "a rase of newee," or nome other I, trouble. Ordinary Mnxated Iron will Increase the strength and co. til dnrtinee of such folks In two weeks' tlsae In ntany Instance*.

I In commenting on this serlo\i,S condition of afS fairs, Dr. .Tamos Francis Sullivan, o e y y sician of Bellevus hospital, (Outdoor Dep.) New Yorlt, and the Westchester County hospital, said: "The probability is th.-tt many of these capes were due solely to lack of sufficient iron In tho red blood corpuscles. When the Iron goes from the blood, you can have most any kmd Of symptoms varying1 from a w e a k n e v o u s rtm-down state, to those of most serious maladies the volume of blood often increases, thereby imposing an extra heavy burden tin the heart. Contrary to general o 1 n ion, luck of iron in the blood does not necefsarily mean you do not have enough blood, but it means your blood is not of the right kind."

One-fonrth of the people are ikfc not np to the normal health aaark as shown by Gtbrral Crowder's reports to Conjcress on the drnft examination. 1 atronsrly advise everyone who feels weak, nerroni or rnndown at times, to go to their fasslty pkjralciaa and have a blood examination made. Thousands safer from Iron dedclency and do not know It. In my opinion (here in nothing like organic Iron— Nnxated Iron—to help give Increased strength and enertry to the week, rnn-down and aired.

If you feel tired in the mornings: r^tless at nipht if you suffer from weakness or lack of vitality go to your family doctor and have him take a Specimen of your blood and examine it, and if it shows iron deficiency, get him to give you a prescription for organic iron-r-Nuxated Iron. Do this so as to be sure that you do not pet hold of some of the numerous forms of metallic iron preparations on the market which may do you far more harm than good.Or If you do not want to so to this trouble, purchase an original package of Nuxated Iron and nee for yourself that the words Nuxated Iron appear on the package—not Nux and Iron nor any other form of iron other than Nuxated Iron.

Dr. A. J. Newman, late Police Sur

geon of the City of Chicago and former House Surgeon, Jefferson Park hospital, Chicago, in commenting on the value of Nuxated iron, said: "This remedy has proven through my own tests of it to excel any remedy I have ever need for creating red blood, building up the strengthening the muscles and cor recting digestive disorders. manufacturers are to be congratulated in having

Dr. Schuyler C.

Serbia and Montenegro might also have something to say about whether annihilation becomes a Teutonio policy where the Teutons win.

MR. AHLGREN.

Mr, Ahlgren ought to remember that when the boys in the trenches are under fire, that is when they do their best fighting. War is a stiff game clear on down to the conservation of food, and this part of the program needs just as able minds, just as good judgment and Just as firm commands as do the front lines of the army. If a food director did not do his duty, one can imagine what a wobbly course this part of our war program would pursue. If a food director does do hi3 duty and makes enemies thereby, he can know that he has the support or every citizen who has deprived himself and who has made his own rigid sacrifices to meet the different demands of food conservation. He will have the support of every citizen who has obeyed, and we hope they are in the overwhelming majority. Mr. Ahlgren Is not going to lose the support of one loyal, thinking citizen by enforcing the food rules. In fact, this is one aspect of the war that has the sympathy of every loyal person. If Mr. Ahlgren would resign, under the conditions that are generally understood to have prompted him to consider such action, it would look like we have a disloyal neighborhood. Mr. Ahlgren has led the fight so far, and is accorded a lot of credit for It. Like the Honorable Mr. Britling, he ought "to see it through."

Mr. Ahlgren may feel that when such crisis come that he is. standing alone. But he isn't. He ha* the support of every loyal citizen. The public likes firmness and impartiality in the enforcement of its food laws.. If this is the only criticism against Ml". Ahlgren he should not allow it to bother him. The people know and feel that he was appointed for that very thing. The public generally considers that he has made an admirable record.

RAILROAD WAGES.

Officials of the Terre Haute railroads estimate that 1,800 men will be effected here by the wage increase announced by Mr. McAdoo a few days ago.

If there was justice in granting- the members of the big railroad brotherhoods more pay and shorter hours— and no ?ne has arisen to dispute it— there is double justice in the order issued by Director General McAdoo raising: the,wages of the poorer paid and unorganized "clerks, station employes, laborers and other humble workers Of the railroads. An eighthour day was also granted these employes, with extra pay for overtime.

By the nature of their work, it Is necessary for railroad men to depend almost wholly upon their wages. They cannot live in suburban homes and have a plot of ground upon which to raise vegetables and chickens, as a rule.

Thert is no more loyal class of workmen than these same unorganized armies upon whom the operation of the railroads depend. Their ranks include men and women who have given their lives to this service, and, as everyone knows, the remuneration for such work has been kept at the barest margin. This consideration for them from the national administration contains the flavor of real justice.

CHRISTMAS STORES.

"Early, moderate and common sense buying"* will characterize the Christmas shopping in Indiana, if the suggestions of the conncil of national defense. as communicated to the merchants* economy committee of the Indiana state council of defense, are observed as generally as have been other suggestions from the same source. The original plan of the national council to limit and restrict Christmas trading has been abandoned in favor of & policy which is believed more consistent and effectively patriotic.

Special emphasis is being laid upon the importance of early trading, in order that there may be no necessity for Increasing the working forces of the larger stores.

The retail Interests represented at the conference have agTeed not to increase their working force by reason of the holiday business over the average force employed by them throughout the year, and not to increase the normal working hours of their force during the Christmas season. They also agreed to use their utmost efforts to confine Christmas giving, except ftor young children, to useful articles, and to spread the period for holiday purchases over the months of October, November and December. In order to relieve the transportation facilities of the country from a congestion in the latter half of December, which would be eo hurtful to the interests of the nation that it cannot be permitted, the retail interests represented at this hearing have agreed to co-operate further in the campaign heretofore and now being carried on under the auspices of the war industries board to restrict deliveries and to induce their customers to carry their own packages whenever possible.

They have further agreed to make an announcement to the above substantial

A DIFFERENT TUNE.

The kaiser has quit talking abefcrt the "strong German sword," the "will to conquer" and even of his partnership with "Gott," and now prates of the determination of Germans to "defend their sacred soil and kultur."* As if there cooid be something sacred about the abominable thing we know as German kultur?

The German owners of the American Trans-Atlantic company's ships can't complain because Mr. Palmer has seized them. They said themselves that It was an American line, and he only made it so.

The American and British soldiers get along ail right so long as they keep away from two subjects. One is Ireland and the other the relative merits "of baseball and cricket.

The Hindenburg line is said to be nine miles wide. It will need to be that deep to make a safe place for the Germans before the war is over.

"Tho Stars Incline, But D* Not Compel." Copyright, 1915, by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Monday, September 9, 1915,

The morning hours of this day are favorable for most activities but the afternoon is a time for caution. Uranus and Venus are in beneflc aspect early while later Uranus changes to adverse sway and Saturn is also adverse.

Women should benefit in business affairs during this sway of the planets. They will attain success in many vocations and will establish the custom of engaging in gainful occupations which will not change when peaoe relieves millions of the strain of war work.

Uranus gives vision and inspiration to those engaged in preparing for the future. Many remarkable inventions are foreshadowed and some of these will be "labor-saving devices for humble needs," astrologers declare.

Saturn continues to give rather a sinister message concerning mines. Strikes and other difficulties seem to be forecast for the coming weeks of autumn, but they will be overcome. successfully.

One of the strongest directions of the stars is toward a union of all the productive forces of industry and an adjustment of new relations between employers and employes through government machinery. This has been prophesied for several years and it is now prophesied that 1920 will be a year that marks lasting reforms.

Congress has a rule making for Initiative in some radical reform. Exciting scenes may taKe place during debate on some bill of far-reaching significance.
