IT MIGHT BE WORSE. The English sense of humor is improving, a? is the country's friendly repressions toward us, due no doubt to the vast loans America is making. Evidences of the changing times are found in the subjoined items taken from a prize offer made by Tid Bits of London: "Two guineas for the best article on 'How America Won the War,' supposed to be written by a slangy, bombastic Yankee. Length about 700 words. No. 28. "Two guineas for the best article, supposed to be written by a henpecked husband, entitled How I Found Peace and Quietness in the Trenches." Length about 700 words. No. 21. "One fi-uinea for the best four-line verse addressed by a flapper to a 'Charlie Chaplin moustache. No. 54. "One guinea for the best epitaph suitable for the tombstone of Comt Zeppelin. "One guinea for the best three reasons for not getting married. No. 51.'

with a view to examination by a special board with powers to sanction his discharge. "Roughly, then, the meaning of the categories is follows: "A. Able to march, see to shoot, hear well, and able to stand active service conditions. "M. Free from serious organic disease, able to stand service conditions on lines of communications In France or in garrison units in the tropics, and. In addition. If classified under: "B-l. Able to march at least five miles see to shoot with glasses and hear well. "B-2. Able to walk to and from work, a distance not exceeding five miles, see apd hear sufficiently for ordinary purposes. "l)-3. Only suitable for sedentary work. "C. Free from serious organic disease, able to stand service conditions in garrisons at home, and, in addition, if classified under: "C-l.4 Able to march at least five miles, see to shoot with glasses, and hear well. "C-2. Able to walk to and from work, a distance not exceeding five miles, see and hear sufficiently for ordinary purposes. "C-3. Only suitable for sedentary work. "With the whole army under training divided In this manner, the statistical experts can tell at any moment how many men are available for the various purposes indicated by the categories."

"NIPSKILLION." A "Xipskillion." says the old captain quoted by Booth Tarkington, "is a man "who has had all the liquor he ever" wants and, because he doesn't drink any more himself, won't let anybody else have an-." If the prohibition amendment to the constitution now in congress ever gets so far as a popular referendum, it will have the solid Niiypskillion vote, in addition to the votes of the many who honestly cannot see the penl and irrevelanco of putting sumptuary legislation into the fundamental law of the Union.

A NEW SWAT AT RALSTON. The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne, says that Governor Ralston "executed a substantial piece of political wisdom in apiKrining Edwin M. Lee to a place on the Public Utilities Commission." We protest, and that vigorously, that the Journal Gazette should place the democratic party in the position of endorsing this appointment It is not only an outrage on the party, of which Sam Kalston is -the nominal head, but an outrage on the people. What has Lee done to merit this appointment? It is reported that Mr. Ralston, under pressure of the Indianapolis News, forced the resignation of Charley Murphy. Mr. Murphy is as high above Lee as Wilson is shove KooseTelt. We feel that Mr. Ralston has committed a very grave error in the oppointment of Lee. We hope when he (Ralston) addresses the democratic editors in February he will tell them why he made this appointment. Will he do it? We say he will not be game enough. Scott County Journal. (Dem.)

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAV E TO DO IN CASE OF WAR. Don't imagine because you are past 45, fat, thin, short, too tall or onearmed that you would not be summoned for military service in the event of the United States being engaged in a war of large magnitude. Things have changed within the last two decades. The war in Europe has revised a lot of things. In the event of a prolonged conflict probably every mother's son would get a chance to be summoned for service of some kind. When the present war broke out in Europe England, especially, was finicky about the recruits she accepted. Thousands, it is said, were barred because of their small stature. It took England about a year to change her mind. She found that even short men are useful and today there are whole battalions of undersized fighters at the front, giving a good account of themselves. Germany and Austria-Hungary early recognized the advantage of employing as many men as possible. The older ones, between 50 and 60, were called out to do garrison duty, to protect bridges and railroads. In many cases boys were utilized. In a lesser measure France adopted the ame tactics. Now- Germany proposes to have universal work service in addition to its military service. It means that many army men will be able to go to the front, while their places will be filled by other men, unfit for active military service, but able to give an account of themselves. Germany's military authorities propose to make every man get out and work maybe doing manual labor in the fields or in the munitions factories, perhaps as a doortender, janitor or tasks of higher degree. The size of one's income will be no barrier to being impressed into service. After England had adopted conscription she began to find ways whereby those unfit for military purposes could serve the government. Thus, many learned university professors were directed to go out and help on the farms, otiers were given jobs on the order which women were willing to fill thereby releasing more active men for the trenches. England has since grouped all men in five classes, according to the stages of training or physical training. An A-l man, after his training is complete i3 ready for service at the front. A-2 men are ready after being trained. A-3 category embraces those who have been at the front and who must be hardened up before going into active service. ' A-4 takes in all "boys under 19. Ti class is for those fit for service abroad, but not for general service. B-l men might be used for garrison or line of communication duty. Those whose eyesight or other impediments bar them from using the rifle are grouped in 15-2 and may be used for any other general service. U-) soldiers take in those unfit for anything but sedentary work. C-t mn are subject to call in case of an emergency, being assigned to guard or outiost duty and asked to fight only in an. emergency. C-2 men are assigned to a class that doesn't require fighting, marching or carrying a pack, while C-3 are physical wrecks tit for otily sedentary duties at home. The I) men are undergoing treatment an A-l man with a broken ankle might, be in the class until cured. Thus, the classification is summed up by Tid-Bits of London: "If a man's health or physical fitness deteriorates so much that he is not efficient for any other category, he is placed in category E
