True. So is true the J statement of the negro who said: j"I don't have to tight," and another' ! of his race said: "You're right,1 ; nigger, Uncle Sam can't make you * fight, but he can take you and pjt you down over there where the fighting is going on and you can use your ' i ' 1 own judgment as to what you does." j 1 The man who will not buy War|( . Savings stamps doesn't realize the: situation and doesn't understand 11 the stamps, or he is disloyal and a o I >Biavivcr. uut'ir oiliu win uui uu ] forced to make the people buy War ' Savings stamps. He can?he can - get the money he needs to carry on 'this war for the freedom of his people by taxation. lie can draft it. just as the men are drafted. But the people, once understanding, will not he slow to give Uncle Sam all he asks for and more, and that is whv the merchants and newspapers and business men have been giving of their time and means in order to make the people understand War Savings stamps. Because they believe that when the people come to understand that the United States government needs the money, and that it expects from Lancaster county $567,100, (not necessarily all paid at once), the response will I measure up to the reputation always enjoyed , by the people of this county. : There are none unable to buy War 1 1 Savings stamps. They cost $4.17 " and multiplies of that amount. The {canvassing committees have pledge cards to be used in case vou do not i 1 _ care to, or are unable to pay all cash, J 1 on which you agree to buy such nutur her of stamps during the remaining months of this year as you feel in g 1 position to buy and you pay for them loach month when you get them. t There is another purpose of the , j War Savings stamp: to encourage - the people to save. If thj^gigpflB0^ cm mm- stamps invoices a^waeritlce on | ^yffl^^art. so. twlHr the better. , Rather^nff^uian to be extravagant at the cost in neressit.es of tlte men ^ from our own homes who are tight- ( ing today in the front-line trenches j in France. Do without the little things that are unnecessary and in- f vest the money in War Savings v stamps. While you are thus helping ,, your government and the men "over there," you are like ise preparing for the proverbial "rainv dav," he ,, cause the money will be returned to . you with compound interest. Furthermore, neither your money or ( your life will be worth while unless 10 we win the war. v i, i:\TK\Slo\ <?! \(.K LIMIT. s The uncertainty of the age limit H under the selective service laws n promises soon to be removed, e though at this time appears more p uncertain than at any time since the r talk of extending the limits began, j Secretary Raker recently said theja war department did not have under s (consideration any plan to extend the f draft either baek to those of IS t \ears or forward. A Washington,, newspaper man sought to clarify the , - tnation last week and quoted See11 ret a i y Pake- in an article in tho | Washington Post as saying "that the ( i government :it this time is giving no , t thought to an extension of the draft ( i limit." In this article It was ; brought out that "the war depart- | ment has about all the men of pres- , ent draft age that it can handle; ] that from year to year there will be . I brought into the service, or in readi- , - t ess to be brought in, about one i million men annually, men becoming , 21 between registration periods." r The war department, the Post says, calculates that another 2,00ft,- i ftftft men can be provided without i changing or extending the draft 11m1 it. which with the approximate 2,- ; Oftft,ftftft already in service gives the i nation a fighting strength of 4 ftftft - i ; 000. This statement of the Washington paper seems to be correct and i to state the war department's policy, huf later events would Indicate that f the uncertainty will remain until | congress takes action one wav or the ( 1 other. In the .papers of WednesI t day Secretary Bakej was quoted as i ' /" . i : THE LANCASTER NEWS, LAN i saying "no opposition will be offered by the war department should con- SCI! gi ess decide that it is necessary at. this time to extend the draft age limits either below 21 or above 30, The ed or both." In authorizing this state- American ment. Secretary Baker said the de- the Germs partment could see no immediate tor Tillma need for such action, rlthough the *n8 the d late already is in sight when it will clon 4 kno of the CI become necessary to replenish the know a8 ? class one reservoir. i i0 know. Senator France, of Maryland, has that some introduced a bill in the senate to ex-.OUB'lt to ' with him i tend the draft to men from 18 to 45, |nsj<|e nf *nd the bill is now before the sen- internmen ite military committee.

The tentative plans of IOf he war department contemplate the ' ' , ' A well inning of a total of 4.000.000 men j,as P(|Vaii by next January 1, and that will trained nu mean the calling of 1.000,000 men sition. 11 letween July and January and tlm is 'opidlj manpower absorbing of not onlv the men re necessary na'"lng in class one from th? first tofore occ egistration. hut those placed in thai men.
