Mr. Duval said that of course the

meeting is "the winning of the war"
and that he naturally felt that the
pledging of Marion county's quota
for the war savings stamps is just the
biggest business in the county right
now. Mr. Duval said that he felt
that the merchants of the county are
in a better position to educate tho
people of their respective neighbor

The Star has received from Senator
Fletcher the following copy of a let letter
ter letter from the adjutant generaL There
was j no explanation with the letter,
but it is obvious that the senator
wants it published as notification that
he has no power, and most probably
no inclination, to obtain commissions
for men desirous of entering the
army, on condition that they can be become

Almost every army, since the dawn
of history, has been cursed with fav favoritism.

they had influence behind them, and
this pernicious practice has wrecked
many a nation.
The American army has suffered

prevailed, but our system of govern government

tion promotion that he did not deserve.
The fault, however, seems pretty
well eliminated from the great army
that is fighting the present war. The
merit system seems in full sway. It
is not only in the officers'; training
camps that men have had to work for
their commissions, but when' they
went into the army they had to work
to hold them. And the national guard
officers and even those of the regular
army, with years of experience be behind
hind behind them, have to work constantly
and intelligently to keep up with the
procession. This is making our army
vastly efficient, it is also giving the
people the greater confidence in it.
The letter to Senator Fletcher is as
follows:
' War Department
The Adjutant General's Office
Washington, June 18, 1918.
Hon. Duncan U. Fletcher,
United States Senate.
My dear Senator: Referring to your
letter of June 15, 1918, enclosing a
copy of, one from Mr. cashier,
Bank of Florida., who
desires an appointment as an officer,
I have the honor to inform you that
appointments jto the line (infantry,
cavalry, field artillery and coast ar artillery
tillery artillery ) of the army are made only
through training camps. A memor
andum concerning the camp which
began May 15, is placed herewith. It
will be noted that the great majority
of those admitted are enlisted men.
It is not believed that there will be
any radical change from this policy.
Therefore, under ; the present condi conditions
tions conditions it appears that the only chance
for Mr. to secure such ap
pointment m the army, is to enlist and
compete for it on the same basis as
other enlisted men.
Vacancies in the several staff sec
tions (quartermaster, ordnance, sig
nal, etc.) are practically closed to
civilians of the draft age unless such
civilians possess exceptional qualifica
tions not readily available in any ap
plicant outside the draft age. In view
of this, there appears to be but slight
opportunity for Mr. s appoint appointment
ment appointment to a staff section at the present
time. However, if he desires, he may
submit a letter, giving data and place
of birth and showing m detail his
education, training and experience
both civil and military. This latter
may be addressed to the chief of ord
nance', to the quartermaster general
and to the chief signal officer who will
advise him fully concerning appoint
ments in their sections.
Very respectfully,
H. P. McCain, AdjtGen.

A DOLLAR W ASTED HELPS THE ENEfilY
That is not a loyal thing to do, of course, and few of us realize
that we are helping the enemy when we waste money. Pretty hard
to define what waste is. One man's waste" may be another man's""
economy. In a general way, waste in war time may be defined as the
buying of anything not essential to health and efficiency. Every
dollar one spends for unnecessary things commands goods and ser services,
vices, services, that is, labor and materials, needed by the United States Gov Government
ernment Government for war purposes. And, if you inve.st the money you save
in War Savings Stamps, you are again helping by loaning your mon money
