Laborers Are Heilig Furnished to the Alllrs by tho Thousands. (Correspondence Associated Press.) China's llrsl and most important contribution to the cause of Ibo en tente allies in the war doubtless will ht? labor?is. Ilefore China joined in tho war against (lormany and Austria, she had already supplied more than 100, 000 laborers to France, IOU gin nd and Russia. Coolies for agricultural work and dock work have been going to Western Kuropo for nearly two years, Russia lias also been draw ing from China's Inexhaustible sup ply of labor for Siberian mines and Siberian farms. Now that China is actually in (he war. the task ol' recruiting laborers for work beyond tho seas will be far easier. Tho government will loud a willing hand and competition which hitherto has existed between the va rious powers in recruiting coolies probably will ho eliminated, Of the i un,nun,omi persons in China, ii is estimated that at least 10,000,000 are men capable ol' carry ing arms or doing sonn? sort of la bor directly connected willi the war. Of this number 20,000,000 are living? within reasonable distance of trans portation facilities, and could boj nioblll/.ed were il necessary. China luis such au abundance ol' men that ' millions could be spared to tho ad vantage of those remaining at home. Premier Tuan-Chi-Jul is enthusias tic about sending an army lo Bu rope, Ile believes 1.000.000 soldiers could he trained and sent to Kuropo within six months, wen? the allies to sup ply equipment and officers for gene ral supervision. Figures concerning tho actual number of men under aims in China are imperfect and misleading. .Each of the provinces has its own army. In addition the central government has many troops. There arc probably ROO,OOO men in all under arms in China at thc present time. Perhaps half of these, or 250,000, would mea sure up to the standards of a modern army and he an effective lighting force, If properly equipped and trained for a few months under for eign supervision. Chinese officials, high and low, would welcome an opportunity to solid a large ajmiy abroad. Rut China hicks transports for sending troops abroad, and her small arsenals and poorly organized leather and cloth industries make? it impossible for lici to ontflt even a small army. Chilla hus tho wool, the cotton and t ho hides necessady to clothe a great army, but she lacks facilities to con vert these Into shoes and clot liing. Raw material and labor exist in Cliina in abundance, but (here is no effective industrial organization. Should it become necessary China's unlimited labor could furnish much of the clothing for tho allied armies, wore modern factories erected in China under loreign supervision.

(Tho Stute.) In an editorial article headlined "In I ts Last Year," the Evening 1'osl of Charleston argues that "it is prob ably well within the mark to say that Germany cannot .stand another year of war" and that "it might be said that none of the powers which have boon three years engaged in tho dreadful struggle can." From this it proceeds to the conclusion that tho recent "verbal" declarations by Ger many about Belgium will bo follow ed hy others more definite and more acceptable to the entente allies. "The (Jutted States can, however," in The J'osl's opinion, "go for three years from the date of its entrance, even at the tremendous pace it has set in five months it luis been In." "Tho nations locked in the battle," it con tinues, "are breathing hard, all of them and they must and are deter? mined to have peace. . . . The first halt in the war will connote its con clusion. . . . This war has reached the point at which lt must be kept at full speed to keep it going at all. Once tho normal processes of mind were renewed, as they would be in a large measure by the consideration of peace, it would be next to Impos sible to resume thc war. And that is likely to come about beforo thc cam paigns of I'.IIS are fairly under way. Tho war is In Us last year." This is Hie most sanguine predic tion from any newspaper that has com?; under our eye and we confess to 110 ordinary attachment of weight to Hie expressions of our Charleston contemporary in respect ol' the world conflict. If one grant Its premises, is not a 1 question raised as to the course of thc United States at the moment j when the other combatants shall he ; ready to quit? If they shall be at the point of exhaustion when this great nation ol' ours shall he only at the first Hush ol' realization of fighting strength next year, should it, also, consent to a poaco of exhaustion? If for the Hist time in 1918 .1 shall be armed cap-a-pie, If thou its loins s hui I he girded, should it not strike the blows required to make good the pledges of its government for world freedom? Hardly could il ho con tended that tho l'niled Slates should agree to a settlement ol' the issues at j stake short of its claims for no bet tor reason I lian that its allies were j wearied and. however profound their j weariness be, it should be able to Im I part to thom for even another year I something of the renewal of spirit, that they have received from its en trance last April. I fi the notion that the war may bo brought to a close in the manner sug gested by our contemporary lurks an clement of peril for the future. lt were better that tho American mind refrain from dwelling on the Iden of IK'ueo, however entrancing lt h", at this time.. Being in the quarrel, our country should bear in mind that the opposer will beware in future and, with that in mind, the less we con cern ourselves about the state of mind of tho enemy the moro swiftly shall we approach the peace for the world that will endure.

SAXON SIX A BIG TOURING CAR.FOR FIVE PEOPLE Try This Test Yourself It Proves the Wonderful Value of Saxon "Six" Take the important features of Saxon "Six" one by one. Bear in mind the price of Sax on "Six"-$935 f, o. b. De troit. Then look among the costly cars and sec whether cars of far higher price have these same features. If they do, that is absolute proof of the high quality of Saxon "Six" and thc remarkable value it is? Here's how the test works out : Saxon "Six" at $935 has a Continental six-cylinder motor. So have 12 other cars ranging in price from $ 1 JJ 5 to $2200. Saxon "Six" at $935 has Tim ken axles. So have J 9 other cars ranging in price from $1115 to $4000. Saxon "Six" at $935 has Tim ken bearings. So have J J other cars ranging in price from $1250 to $5000. Saxon "Six" at $935 has the Stromberg carburetor. So have 9 other cars ranging in price from $JJ J5 to $4000. Saxon "Six" at $935 has the Remy ignition. So have 9 other cars ranging in price from $1175 to $4000. Saxon "Six" at $935 has the Fcdders radiator. So have J? other cars ranging in price from $1175 to $6300. Saxon "Six" at $935 has the Spiral bevel gear. So ha ve 18 other cars ranging price from $1115 to $10,000. Saxon "Six" at $935 has the semi-floating axle. So haye 11 other cars ranging in price from, $1200 to $4800, Saxon "Six" at $935 has thc Exide storage battery. So have 9 other cars ranging in price from $1145 to $4800. There's the evidence. It's the straightest, clearest proof ever offered as to the value and quality of any car. It sets Saxon "Six" above the claims of-all other cars, within $200 or $300 of its price. We quoted you $935 f. o. b. Detroit as the price of Saxon "Six." That is true. But with manufacturing costs going up and up it?may not remain long at that price. So place your order now.

O God of infinite mercy, hear the mothers of this land as we plead before Thy throne for the loved ones we are sending forth to battle for tile Right. Though our hearts are bowed with sorrow, we pray not for ourselves; all our prayers, () God of Love, are for them, the priceless treasures of our lives. We are will ing to suffer, and, if need he, to die, for our Country! We would gladly give our livos to lia ve these loved ones, dearer to us than life itself, wiio are going out to light foes, seen and unseen, to face all the horrors of thc battlefield, and some perchance to die, that others may live, but by no word or look will we hold them back when duty calls them to save others. Give them the manhood to moot this supreme test of life; give thom strength of body, of mind and soul to do battle for tho Right, and to succor thc women and children. Arm thom with Divine power to smite evil; fold thom in Thy loving arms; yea, though I hey walk through the Valley of the Shadow or Death may Thy Presence banish every fear and Thy rod and Thy staff comfort them. For three long years the men of our allies have battled for us as for their own homes, and their loved ones have endured thc sorrows which now we must face. Our men go forth to help save us from rain and the world from barbarism. We suffer, bul we glory In their manhood. We dedicate our lives to this Great Cause that we may serve behind thc lines while they carry forward thc flag of civilization. Tho prayers of a world In agony, for whom those loved ones are fight ing, are lifted up to Thee for those mon. They aro offering all that earth holds dear, because they have heard Thy voice calling them to tho noblest work to which lives woro over consecrated. Thy love, O God, our Father, excels all human lovo, so i wo leave them with Thee. To Thee have we committed them. They are j Thine, created in Thy image. Into then? Thou hast breathed the breath of life in its largest and divin- ! est sense. In their sacrifice, offering their 1 lives that others may live, they are ' following in tho footsteps of the Son of dod Himself, who died to make mon free from the power of evil. We trust Hiern, O God, to Thy Infinite love, and to Thy ever watchful eye. Hold i ho mas In the hollow of Thy Hand, for they are doing Thy Work and fulfilling the teachings of Him who spake as,never man spake, when He taught that greater love hath no man than that he is willing to lay down his lifo for others.

However strongly cold reason may support in theory the legalized end ing by death of human suffering i where recovery is hopeless, to the av erage person the suggestion is ab horrent. At its convention in Chicago the other day the American Association of Progressive Medicine boldly ebal- : longed public opinion by its action [ in instructing a committee to submit to thc Legislature of every State the recommendation that statutes be en acted permitting euthanasia. Dr, W. A. Could, of Des Moines, the chief- advocate of the plan of painless killing in extreme cases, speaking from ^personal experience, based his argument on the grounds of humanity. It is precisely on tho plea ol* humanity that the stiffest op position will he encountered when sentiment protests against this form of relief for patients to whom death would bo a welcome release. Since thc days when savage tribes thought it expedient to rid them selves of weaklings and cripples by exposure, the world has swung to the opposite extreme in the effort to pro long human life under tho most un favorable conditions. No case ls any longer too desper ate to justify failure to adopt any slops known to science that may keep breath in a dying body. No man wounded In battle is too hope lessly mangled to excuso negligence in patching him up Into semblance to his former selL although all tlx; rest of his life he may be condemned to be a hopeless wreck. . The public may In course of time he brought to accept the theory of putting to death by painless methods those who are suffering from painful maladies and whose recovery is hopeless, but that day Is in tho very far future. Tho proposition will re? i celve scant support now. Philadelphia may open municipal food markets.
