WHAT IT MEANS TO SAVE. j
) | You don't have to buy War Savjings
stamps! 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

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

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
