This may be due to the reputation the American boy has of lieliis; a good shot vviili the rille. And then iit-ain, it may be that Fritz has enough of this warfare und wishes to sleep on, as things are going very badly for him these days. "As I write there ijs an enemy aero- plane overhead, and our lines are sin luting at it -vvilli anti-aircraft guns and machine guns. There are also soiuo nice winged shells that sing as they pass They are not doing much damage, though, aside from throw ing up the earth.

This Is the case especially In our Industrial plants, where complicated machinery has taken ihe place of hiutfeular effort. The result is thai many scientists ami doctors allinii that our nation Is becoming weaker physically as "progress" hecojnes greater.

"Workers break down prematurely," Elmer IS. Ulttenhnuse, President of the Life Extension Institurc, says. "The life waste in war, enormous as it is, Is almost trilling connjiired to the life waste In tyonce from ignorance and neglect of ordinary preventive measures." If this Is so, It is Ihe duty of each one of us lo appoint himself ss committee of one to. safeguard hie health. 'What with vvhenlless and meatless days, we are constantly called upon lo give more intention to our food.

Never wusthere huter time to start ivgulatlng our diet.

It appears that there have been registered'In the whole United States 23,456,021, and In New Jersey That is, New Jersey has provided 3.2 per cent, of the registrants. But New Jersey has only about 2.7 per cent, of the population of the continental United States. Of the 754.710 men registered 1 ih New Jersey, 304.20S did so June 5, 19.17; 20,574 on June 5, 1918; 4,792 on August 24, 191S, and September 12, when the selective service law age limits were extended.

The June registration was of all men he- tween twenty-one and thirty-one; that of June 5, 1918, ot those attaining thoir twenty-first birthday since June 5, 1917, arid that of August 24 of those attaining their twenty-first birthday since June 5, 1918. WHAT THE KAISER SAYS OF HIMSELF What He and His "Old lien I man Gott' Have Purposed To Do To America A TYPICAL OUTBURST "Lest we forget" It may lie well to recall the words of William the Damned, German Kaiser and King of Prussia, to his armies as he sent them forth four ysnrs ago with the purpose nf conquering the world. Here are his exact words: Remember that you are the chosen people! The spirit of the Lord is descended upon me because I am the Emperor of the Germans! I am the Instrument of the Almighty! I am His sword, His representative! Disaster and death to all those who resist my will! Disaster and death to all those who resist my mission! Disaster and death to cowards! May all the enemies of the German people perish! (iod orders their destruction and God commands you through my mouth to do Hia will. Mr. Illckok In Cain p.

Chauncey S. Illckok, 2nd, who recently entered the Y. M. C. A.

service and Is at Camp Lee, Petersburg, writes that he Is thoroughly enjoying his work, which he describes as "most inspiring and interesting." "If the people at home only knew what It meant to the soldiers, they would not put off sending books and victrola records and the like, another minute," sakl Mr. Hlckok. "The men just go at the magazines like food. So much good reading Is left Idle on our shelves at home, It Is a sin to put it off any longer. I am ashamed that I have In the past been in the same class and not sent all I could.

When I get home I am sure I will have learned the lesson and keep any papers, I lmve moving. "The Y. M. C. A.

BARTON President EDWABD MILLER Vico-President NEARLY A YEAR MORE OF THE WAR That Is Mr. Hoover's Estimate, For Which He pares Accordingly FOOD CONSERVATION "There is no prospect of a proper ending of the war before the campaign of Hie summer of 1919," says Mr.

Hoover. "To attain victory we must place in France three and a half million lighting men with the greatest mechanical equipment that has ever been given to any army. While we expect the position on the Western front may be improved, from a military point of view, between now and then, there no hope of a consummation of the end that we must secure until another year has gone Food Administrator pointsI out that this accomplishment in 1919 will save a host of American lives that will have to be sacrificed if tlie war-continues until 1920. To strike the final blow In 1U19 means that we must not only find the men, shipping and equipment for tills gigantic army, but that'- our own army, and the Allied armies and the civil population of the Allied counlries must, in the meantime, have ample food If their strength is to be maintained. "Wo can do all these things" lie declares, "and I believe we can bring this business to an end If tvery man, woman and child In the Fulled States tests every action every day and hour by the one Docs this or that contribute to ginning the war? "We must appreciably decrease our own imports of food, notably sugar, coffee und tropical fruits," he says, and points out that while our wheat production this year is better than last, our production of other cereals is ss, and our resources are no greater than last.year.

"However," he says, il is possible for us to Rive Europe its vastly biccoased requirements and at 1 lie same lime have a margin over the quantity necessary to maintain our own health and strength." Tlie Food Administrator finds we shall apparently baive sufficient sugar to take care of tlie present rate of consumption and to provide for the 'extra drain of the Allies, and sufficient coffee if wastefulness In brewing the beverage Is eliminated. Of our own products there must be a reduction In consumption and waste ot foodstuffs and of meats and fats; that is to say, pork, beef, poultry, dairy products and vegetable oil products. Stress Is laid, however, upon the fact Hint the Food Administration does not wish curtailment in the use of milk for children. 3 New Jersey War Work. All tirtk of peace and even the pas- slliillty of an armistice In the war lend only to speed up the activities of the New Jersey United War Work Campaign.

The representatives of the seven co-operating organizations are well aware that even should there be a cessation of hostilities the American army probably will remain in Europe for un Indefinite period. This, of course, means that all of the work of caring for Hie soldiers must be maintained. The American Army Is being increased at the rate of 250,000 men every month. Hence, as was brought out last week at tho conference of the Kastern department, there will be need 'for more men to look after their needs. In addition to this phase of the situation Dr.

John Mott, Na a lional campaign director, In his review of tlie wurk to he accomplished, gave many reasons why there should be nn oversubscription to the campaign to provide funds for the seven organizations. Tne New Jersey State Committee of Hie United Wur- Work Campaign hai issued a manual of instructions which has been distributed to the chairmen and directors In every county. It is regarded as one of the finest manuals Issued for a campaign of any char- acter. The full list of the officers with the committees is given and a list of the directors and executive secretar- les of the five divisions. The campaign organization follows: K.

M. Mdjrler, Chairman; John J. Hlckey, Associate Chairman; John Tv Sproul, treasurer; Chas. A. Coburn, state director; J.
