De termined, -it Is believed to try to fitarve out the allied Saloniki expe dition and to cut it off from reinforce ments, Germany has of late carried on In the Meditrrranean a submarine campaign of extreme vigor. , At the suggestion of President Wil son, the Boy Scouts are planning ational campaign to help float the Liberty Loan, June 11,12, 13, and 14 have been designated as Liberty Loan days for the boys and every scout will be ordered to do his utmost to persuade his friends to. subscribe.

Emphasis was . laid by Provost Marshal Crowder on the fact that no man within the prescribed age limit except those already in the regular army or navy, the National Guard in Federal service or the reserve divis ions of the naval service, are excused from registration for (military service. "Even convidts and alien nfemjes are required to register, says a state ment issued adding, however, that those liable should not confuse regis tration with actual drafting for army. The statement also points out that ihe application of the draft and the falling of the selected men to the colors will furnish an opportunity for those who believe they should be ex empted to submit their claims. The process of selection can be carried out, it adds "by the fairest system that can be deviated." Dr. Arthur Warren Walte was ex- ecuted at Sing Sing prison for the murderof his father-in-law. John E. .Peck, of Grand" Rapids, Mich. The young: dentist walked calmly and with a firm s6ep from his cell to the death chamber, accompanied by the Rev A. N. Peterson, Protestant Chaplain of the prison.

Walte submitted quietly to tair and went to his death without word of protest or good-bye. Three shocks were administered within four minutes.- As a result of an attempt of three I banana 10 too. we f irm state iuun ai iTuskahoma, Okla., one of the robbers was shot to death in the bank by the cashier and the cashier and two other bandits are dying from wounds. President Wilson is , determined that unnaturalized Germans in this country shall not be mo Bested or dis criminated against so long as they mind their own business and do not show antagonism toward tWe govern ment's war policy. . r Mr. Hoover's Plant ' In announcing thte appointment of Mr. Herbert C. Hoover as food admin istrator of the United States, the President (made a long statement, and in acdeptll? the appointmtent, Mr. Hoover made an even longer an nouncement of his plans and his ideas. ; While thtese are lengthy they should be of interest to every man, woman, and even the older children of the country. It is interesting to K'ur.v that Ir Il'wver will ive wkhcut pay. Ho l!k)ewise expects to get he larger part of his help in administering thi food supply of the counln from.lisl of men who are able and willing to serve the country without pay. The appointment of thte man-who fed the starving Belgians for three years, head of the new national -food department, came as no surprise to the country. The news dispatches for several days had anticipated and predicted the appointment. He has already come to be familiarly known to the reading public as the food "dic tator." But in reality, nleither the of fice nor the man who now fills it con templates any dictatorial powers. The whole object of the new office will be to centralize the efforts of the nation to conserve its food supply to Increase the available supply, pre- vent a small minority from hoarding food supplies and speculating In food products during tne period., or inra shortage, and seeing that the distri bution of the food supplies is as even as possible. " The present basis of the Job is thte co-operation of the people of the coun try. The proper cooperation of the ! women of America and the men as well, will prevent the necessity of a food "dictator" in reality." Should the American people refuse to learn the lesson of economy, should they refuse to conserve the food supply of the nation, should they refuse to give up eolme of the sensual pleasures of the stomach for the general good of the whole country, the enactment of laws as strict as those other belligerent countries 'have enacted regarding their food supply may be necessary. Whether Mr. Hoover or any other man will be in reality food "dictator" is strictly up to the American people. WONDERFUL STUFF ! .. LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS!

' Cutting Out "Red Tape" ' That there is an excess of 'govern mental "red tape" at all times must he obvious to anyone who studies the matter at all, but it is especially Irri tating in time of war. Sotae way should be devised by which military and other measures could be nut into 'effect more speedily when quick action is necessary. Secretary Baker, of the war depart ment, is One of those who realize the I'lsadvantages of this "red tape" and be seems to have a' rather effective way of meeting "thle situation. The New York Sun says: "Secretary Baker, in explaining to the House Cotxmittee on military af fairs the difficulties that had confront ed him, did not htesitate to say that he had 'broken a great many laws' since adjournment of the last Congress, but by cutting ited tape', and going ahead he made his department ready for leg islation that would produce 500,000 men in two months and 1,100,000,00 in tight 'months." While commissions of various kinds are- investigating almost everything under the sun, would it not be a good idea to have one devoted to the task of cutting governmental "red tape" In an effective manner? AH public officials do not seem to possess Secre tary Baker's facility! in getting rid of it. Western Sentinel. CASTORIA For Infants and Children .
