War Wants The Best

f It is a faithful saying that evei

'death likes a shining mark." It'lamentable how our country is being scrapped of its very best younjmen to enlist hi the Army to fighwhich mejuis slaughter if war con

tinues. When I say best men,mean from a physical, intellectuaand moral viewpoint Of course thiis as it should be; but it is a pit;for sudh men to be called firslThere is a good for nothing, shiftless and diseased, as veil as sorr

"

sort left behind. It appears thathey should be called first, an

placed in front of the battle. Sa

killed by the thousands it woulsrmply be a matter of good ricdance to the world. Being-*left e

home they arej rio more than a

affliction upon humanity. They arwife- beaters, children.deserter:whiskey drinkers work shirkers an

everything else than what a mashould be. It's awful to see thvery best specimen of humanitdrafted lor war; among whom ai
