Western battle front in relation to frontiers of France, Belgium, Luxenti burg and Germany. Russian chaos has enabEed Germany to remove several hundred thousand troops from the eastern front to France. This explains why the allied spring offensive, so favorably begun, has almost reached a standstill. The Kritith and French armies must meet the full force cf German arms, fi ghtirtj defensively. The almost inconsequential character of the fightinj? on other fronts now makes it clear that a decision must be reached in the west. Here the bulk of the British and French armies are fighting. Here the new American army will go next spring. Here the finest troops of the central empires ara fighting. Here even Austrian troops may be sent if Russian power collapses. The points of attack on the western front have during the past fortnight become definitely and positively fixed the two pivots of the new German line, the sector cf Arras and thst-of Laon.

EVERY MAN, MARRIED OR SINGLE, MUST REGISTER. WASHINGTON, May 19 Following are the important provisions of the conscription act: All men, including married men. between their twenty-first and thirty-first .birthdays must register on June 5Married men are net exempt, but may be exempted by local boards on the ground that they have dependent families. National guardsmen who have not been called into federal service must register. Men who fail to register are liable to one year's imprisonment. Pick men must register by agents and absent men may register by maiL The war department will ray all necessary expense of registration, but expects volunteers who will serve free to do the greater part of the work. It is expected that most of the registration places also will be furnished free. From the president's proclamation: "And I do charge those, who through sickness shall be unable to present themselves for registration, that they apply on or before the day of registration to the county clerk of the county where they may be for instruction as to how th?y may be registered by agent. "Those who expect to be absent on the day named from the counties in which they have their permanent homes may register by mail, but their mailed registration cards must reach the places in which they have their permanent home by the day named herein. "In case such persons as, through sickness or absence, may be unable to present themselves personally for registration shall be sojourning in cities of thirtv thousand population, they shall apply to the city clerks of the city wherein they may be sojourning rather than the clerk of the county."

INDIANAPOLIS Times, which is urging economy during the war, suggests that preachers economize on the length of their sermons. This will never do. It will cut down the sleeping time of some of our best citizens.

WORK TX YOUR GARDENS OX SUNDAYS! The Archbishop of Canterbury said that Sunday labor upon the allotments would be a patriotic duty, and it is now a common sight to find v. hole families spending their Sundays digging in the little plots r.f land oukle of th villages and towns. Even in this country it would not be a mark of disrespect to labor in one's garden en Sunday. On the contrary, in these times it would be a service that would be a labor for the Ixud as well as an act of patriotism. The worlii stands in need of food. Chiefly upon what America does depends on whether thousands will starve in Europe this year. If Sunday work in the garden and on the farm will help increase food production, it will be something done for humanity. Also, it will save lives and help to win the war against Prussianism. Retter that one work at tilling the soil on Sunday than spending the time in useless pleasures.

SPLENDID TRAINING. Those red-blooded Americans who are training at Fort Benjamin Harrison are getting an invaluable groundwork which will broaden them immeasurably for their later duties as officers. First of all they ar going through the rigid school of discipline and hard work. They are learning to obey with alacrity, and they are learning what it means to be thrown upon one's own resources. They are getting a new slant on self-reliance in the

rough and in the open- They are learning something new about men and democracy in khaki and in camp. Not only will these red-blooded men be better officers by reason of the obedience and the hard work of the present, but they will be better officers because they will know of their own, knowledge the things the enlisted men go through- These men, once they are officers, will know the enlisted man from the ground up, his life, his ways, his tasks, his temptations, his good points and his frailties For these men will have lived intensively in a few weeks a year of the life of the average enlisted man. It is a good thing for the officer to know the life and viewpoint of the men in the ranks. It is a good thing for the enlisted men of the future if they are to be officered by men who have gone through the mill. It is entirely plain that the boys at Fort Benjamin Harrison are being put through the grind. Col. Glenn is one of our best known military millers, and it is to be said of him that his mill grinds both fast and exceedingly small. Indiana Times.

CONSERVING LIFE IN THE MILLS. tn the steel mills of this region, where" the "Safety First" movement is one of the most dominant creeds among the workmen, great gains are beinc made. Take the Illinois Steel company, for instance. Although thiB branch of the Steel corporation is employing 10,000 more men than it did a year ago and is producing 1.2f0,000 more tonnage this year, the number of all lost time accidents ha3 decreased 21 per cent and part time accidents 32 per cent. In the larger plants of the company at Joliet, Gary, where 8,700 are employed, and South Chicago, where 9 800 are at work, notable records have beer. made. No longer is there the procession of stretcher bearers to the emergency hospitals within the plants. And it is seldom that the undertaker's wagon is called to the mills these days. The "Safety First" movement has become imbued in the workmen, and it has been found that steel and iron can be made without maiming and killing its producers. That was something they did not know twenty and thirty years ago.
