E5 fe p 'r JACK-IN-THE-OFFICE. no Pnl HTirv Waitt'rson. than whom there i.- staunchor American ami bettor democrat in this broad land is not afraid of lcso majesty. In company with other critics of the uovernniont he says that it is the na'ure of Jack-in-the-otficv to lord it and there are divers tacks-in-the-office rattling round now at Washington. Thev seek char; ticai'.v to magnify their own im portance. Thus we have all .orts of admonitions to he frugal and to That end many restrictive regulation? upon our productive industries. The cant of the houv dwells upon the alleged virtue of sacrifice. One might fancy that we are a nation of lackers. Again he might fancy that we are in a state qf siege. We are organizing to send millions of men, having sent not a few already. The real need is expe dition. It is easy to talk about sacrifice. But there ha." been no lack of ir. Have the mothers a: homo made no sacrifices brave though not tearless in seeing their sons off to the from? They at least should not be fur ther depressed by the eternal chatter "this is war." None of us, they least of ail. are going to forget it. Nor should we punish ourselves by voluntary pri vations. Ours is a great and fruitful land. It still flows with wine, milk ..nd honey. To he s: rone we must subsist well surely as well as we can. The forme should nor be made a house of want as well as a house of woe. when the awful lists of killed and wounded begin to come from across the seas. In short, we should lead, as far as possible, our normal lives. Work should go on as usual. , likewise play. .Tack-in-the-office, as we have seen, would kill the goose that lays the golden egg by putting business in a straight jacket. lie should he called down wherever he appers, but especially n the national capital, where he wanders at large and at UL. exploiting himself and offending his betters." LABOR AND FREEDOM. The hope of labor lies in the opportunities for free dom; military domination, supervision, checks, bond ge, lie in Prussian rule. So declares the executive Committee of the American Federation of Labor. This is a right and clear conception of the issues Involved in this war for the working man. It is not through a German regime but through democracy that bor is to receive adequate recognition and its reali sation of its rightful place in the world. &!1 Americans are supremely and vitally interested io. the war against German autocracy and none more t.han the workingman of American. To him freedom re.a3 everything. test is on whether the autocratic rule of Ger many has bred better men than the free institutions of this country has whether the independent men can fight so well, can manufacture such guns and aeroplanes and other instruments and munitions of war and put them into effective use as can the human product of the German rule. There is no doubt of the result, but it depends upon the whole American people and not alone upon our fighting men. We who remain in safety at home must do our part, work, economize, save and support the finances of the Government. Industry, saving, and lend ing to the Government are now national duties. national needs and MORE CONCEALMENT. Another "mystery order" of the war department, as made public today, says that in the American cnsualty lists hereafter, names of the next kin and addresses will not be made public. The purpose, according to the dispatches, is "to disclosing the identity of units on ihe firing line." And this new order comes at a time that General March, after a complete personal investigation gives the opinion that, fuller publicity and not lss of it is what America needs, concerning the war operations in Eu rope. It seems to be just, another phase of the theory so popular at Washincton that Germany does not know what America is doing in this war, whereas there is every reason to believe that she knows more about it tljan does most Americans themselves at home or abroad- says the Muncie Press. The committee on public information is understood to have fought hard agair.it the new order, sayinc .and rightly, that casualty lists without addresses ;tr use less as public information and that tho committee would not handle such lists. The committee served noiio that ihe newspapers and the war department hereafter would have to fight out the matter. The committee has told lie war department that the policy of concealment that it has adopted does not conceal, while It duett work a. hardship upon very American who Is Interested in the inny abroad, which should mean everybody. The dispa'ches say that today a two-days' list of casualties is piled up in the war department which the committee on public information refuses to handle tin ier th? rules prescribed. The committee argues further, and well, that the publication of tho buro facts that "Tom Hrown ' wa;4j killed in action would tend needlessly to alarm the rel it Ives of many Tom Browns who may bo in the armies abroad and who may not be tho particular Tom Eruwn mentioned. This is not the first time the war department has .(tempted to put over this Rbsurd order but it is the ."irst time it has apparently succeeded in doing it. Can ada and England which have been three ami a half ..tars in the war have no! yet found concealment of lungs of this nature advisable, and it has been 1 1 1 io jar (iv. ti statesmen to make the discovery. The mothers and fathers and wives of this country are entitled to know the truth about the happenings to .heir men who are lighting this nation's battles. Con cealing the place at which the wounds were received may be necessary, but concealment Should go no further unless the individual circumstance should be extraordi nary and of a peculiar nature warranting it.

With conditions both as to industries and the need of homes existing in Youngstown as those here in Gar;., Whiting. Hammond. East Chicago, and Indiana Harbor, the Ohio city is wasting no time in discussion nor in wondering whether the government will aid. but is pro ceeding to alleviate the situation in a practical manner. Voungsiown is short o.'iOO houses and more men are to be added this year to new or expanded in dustrial projects so this is the manner in which Youngs-i town is trying to remedy things. A f l.-OO.ueO construction corporation has been form.ed. Its common slock, $500,000 has been taken' over by two construction companies it organized. P.us iness and industrial mainly steel and iron industries have subscribed for the preferred shares. The company has set out to build house? at. the rale of To0 houses annually. This, in a nutshell, is Youngstowu's way of gttin-; around its war-time problem.

President Wilson in his address to Congress cm February H said: "The methotf the German chancellor propose, is the method of the Congress of Vienna. We cannot and will not return to tha'. It is possible that Count Yon Hertling does not see that, does not grasp it, is in fact living in his thought in a world dead and gone?" Count Yon Hertling in his address to the Koichstag on February 20th retorts as follow-s: ' President Wilson who reproaches the German chancellor with a certain amount of backwardness, seems to me in his view of ideas to hate hurried far in advance of existing realites." These two quotations illustrate the differ nee be tween the American and German standpoint. American does demand something beyond the exist ing realities that Germany created demands a better day, the observance of the rules of civilization, an honorable conduct, freedom and justice to small na tions, to all peoples, which do not cxLn today because of German kultur. Germany insists upon a return to ami perpetuation of fraud and tyranny and ruthlessness, a disregard of justice to small nations, indeed to all nations and peoples, a conscienceless rule of international conduct. These things may not yet be "dead and gone" but hey will be "dead and gone'' when this war is ended. The difference between the two positions is the difference between 'a future safe and free and just, and a past, cruel, unjust, treacherous and tyrannous, the difference between ideals and practice and German kultur and atrocities.

We have it on the other fellow so badly that there is no comparison.
