THE DRAFT. This has been one of the greatest days in the history of the United States. The first steps have been taken in calling 6S7.000 men to the colors in the world's fight for freedom. Of these. 500.000 constitute the new National Army and the remainder -will be assigned to the Regular Army and the National Guard to bring these organizations up to full war strength. The land forces of the United States, therefore, will soon exceed a million, with the prospect of a further draft of 500,000 a few months hence. The success of this draft will depend largely upon the intelligence and patriotism of the young m who are subject to it- Every one who registered is fully aware of the fact that there is a presumption of his fitness for duty. If drafted he must respond, and if exemption does not apply he is under the highest obligation to take his place in th? ranks. There can bo no enrollment prompt and complete without the cordial, even the enthusiastic, co-operation of the 9,600,000 men who have registered. In putting this great body of the population upon notice, the government makes its first imperative demand upon the fighting strength of the nation.

XO AIR-RAID REPRISALS. Is it not In the interest of decency, of humanity and "civilized warsure" that America demands that the aviators from this country who may fly over Germany be urged not to aye, forbidden to drop bombs on women, children, school-houses, Red Cross workers, hospitals and the helpless and inoffensive? To this extent it matters not that Prussian savagery has done all these things in Belgium. France and England- Reprisals of like character should not be tolerated. War is bad enough at best, but when so-called civilized peoples are drawn or forced into its hideousness some sort of regard for decency ought to be recognized and insisted upon. We trust the Entente Allies are not imitating Hohenzollern mercilessnes. At any rate, let it be to the credit of American belligerency that the cause' of democracy and humanity is not to be championed by the ruthless slaughter of school children, helpless women and innocent non-combatants. It seems to us the whole press of this country should urge upon American aviators the demand of American civilization that no crime of Kaiser "Kultur" calls for reprisals of this character.

GET THAT LAKE FRONT PARK NOW. Too busy in the past with the building of their city, the people of Gary have now begun to realize what s great loss they have sustained in not being sllowed the use of even the sight of their seven miles of lake front. It is entirely reserved for industries Chicago, which has a large portion of its lake front of 26 miles reserved for public use such as parks, bathing beaches and driveways, thinks itself at a disadvantage because it hasn't more coast. Yet Gary, destined td be Indiana's largest city, has no civic or public use of its lake front. Neither are its people allowed the use of the great Gary harbor, and the'only direct benefit teh people of Gary get from Lake Michigan is Its water which the Steel Corporation allows them to have at Its own ratesNow there is no disposition on the part of The Times, which has urged a lake front park for Gary for several years, to bring about any interference in the plans of industrial development, but it must point out the need of backing up Mayor Johnson in his plan of having the park board either buy or get by condemnation at least 100 acres of lake frontage. This' will leave plenty of land left for Industry, "and besides, the State of Indiana has passed a generous bill allowing the Steel Corporation to acquire more land by filling in the lake and paying but $25 an acre for the privilege. Regardless of the fact that the Steel Corporation is entitled to the credit for causing Gary to exist, it defined no broad policy when it failed to take into consideration that even the industrial institution that creates a community has no right to deprive its people of their civic birthright. That birthright includes the right of every man. woman and child in Gary to enjoy and possess the advantages of their Lake Michigan, its fresh air, its bathing facilities, its boating pleasures, also the good that a lake front breathing" spot would do for the wan babies and sickly children of steel workers living in the crowded and sandy foreign quarter. This right the people of Gary are deprived of. and the older the city becomes .the greater the pressure for tha sight and use of a bit of the lake coast will become. What will it avail the people of Gary if they gain more dividend-producing industries if their community becomes a blighted one and a valley of regret for the loss of the lake front? - Be fair to Big Business, but at least let Big Business be fair to the community. That last year gave it at least

WE note with a great deal of interest, that for some bally reason or other WAR has raised the prices of wives on the Congo THE chap on the left says that It might have been a fine thing if tha war hud came long ago AND put the price up so high nobody could buy one.

It seems to us that most magazines' IDEAS of art from May to September IS to dike out some bewitching young thing in a one-piece bathing suit AND let her go at that. THE chief defect with many- of these schemes to put the Huns out of business - IS that they don't stay put.

NEW YORK recruiting office has parrot that shouts "Slacker!" to fellows who pass by. Might get this bird to shout "War profiter" at some of the trust 'magnates.

MAYBE this, which the New Orleans States speaks about. Is also good for a young wife: "The only way to break a young girl of the pickleeating habit is to tell her confidentially that if she continues it she will have a red nose, which is something that no girl wants."

FROM HAMMOND BOYS AT CAMP So. San Antonio, Texas, July 14. 1917. Sergeant Welch: Just a few words to let you know how I am getting along. Am just as healthy and happy as can be and hope you are the same. I am only one of the many

hundred Hammond boys that volunteered to the colors, for when I think of the many boys that are in that town of mine that are going to be drafted, and if It wasn't for you I would be one of them myself. You have worked and are trying and have done everything to keep the boys out of the draft. So I am very glad and appreciate everything that you have done to keep me out of It. I am In the aviation corps.

I haven't done any flying as yet, but we all expect to fly in one of Uncle Sam's machines before long, although I have witnessed many fancy flights that some of the boys do out here and also witnessed many falls that the boys have taken with their machines from a four to 500-foot drop, but luck that no one was killed. I am a cook at the present time, but when I'm off duty I work around and help -the boys in assembling planes. Well.
