The Hundred Days Men and
the Draft

Approaching, as we fully do, the hard
ship to which the Hundred Dsys Men
were subjected by the persmptorY call to
march at ten days notice. we still fail to
see any reason for doing more for them
than tie Government proposes, viz: Give
them credit when they shall be drafted for
three years, for the hundred days which
they ire now serving. Justice requires
this much, and no more.
The Hundred Days Men have been bad
ly treated by the men in power. They
have been betrayed. Faith has been brok.
en- with them. At every step they have
been deceived. In the first place. they
were induced to volunteer under the pre-.
tense that they were to be employed at
home, and in no event taken out Of the
State. When, at last, they were dispoS-
cd of to the Federal Government, as il
they had been so many mercenaries, they
were told that they should be exempt from
future draft. Their leading papers SO as
