England and Conscription

How to have conscription without
revolt is the problem Of the British
government at this juncture. The
ministry at London has virtually de-
cided upon the principle of compul-
sorry military service. Apparently the
ministry has passed the crisis with
out the split that was expected to
follow the joining of the issue on
CONSUMPTION, and while there may be
two or three designations there will
not be, as present indications go, any
general rupture of the coalition gov
ernment.
Conscription is hateful to English
men. and has been dreaded from the
outset OF the war To the Irish par
ticularly it is anathcma, and in this
recent situation there has been no
lack of positive threats that in case
of conscription the Irish would resist
thus in effect starting a revolution
1t has now been suggested that il

CONSUMPTION is undertaken the Irish
may be exempted from compulsory
service, which would place them IN
most difficult position, in their pres
ent and future relations with the
British government
Conscription would greatly swell
the ranks of the British, but it would
bring an army less competent and
trustworthy than that which has been
formed by voluntary enlistments. II
numbers are necessary, however. 1t IS
evident that England must resort to
the draft to recruit the forces. Every
known form of appeal has been made
to the young and mddle-aged men
of England to bring them to the col
ors. They have been urged IN the
name of patriotism, in the name OF
protection and in the name OF man
hood. They have been shamed into
enlisting. They have been socially
boycotted until in sheer self-respect
they have in large numbers joined
the forces Now a margin OF neces-
sity remains, it is confessed by the
ministry at London, and there is no
resort save compulsion. The details
OF the plan are yet to be disclosed,
and the effects Of it will be of the
greatest interest to~the world.

Mr.. Kitchin on the Situation.

In long letter explaining his at
titude toward preparedness, Mr..
Kitchin says:
No man in the administration or
in the ways and means committee.
although Tor months they have
wearied their wits over it. has vet
been able 10 solve even the begin-
ming OF the problem OF raising this
enormous increase OF revenue. /
have had hundreds Of sugge.tiors as
TO how 10 raise it, All the supges-
tions combined would not begin 10
raise the amount. Every suggestion
has been, however, 10 raise the tax
on the other fellow and on the other
fellow business or product and NOT
on his. Nhcn the ways and means
committee begins 70 attempt TO frame
measures Tor raising tn, revenue. and
especially when the people begin to
pay the taxes for This enormous in
crease, they will then, perhaps, real
lze what the program means. ! have
had experience enough with taxation
10 know that those who are howIinp
most loudly now for the big army
and navy program will protest and
howl most wildly against any meas
ure which may be attempted or pro
posed TOR increase OF taxes"
No well informed person attemnts
20 minimize this task. Every such
person understands that it is full OF
difiIculty The amount OF money re-
CURED is large; and taxation is never
positively attractive in any form. In
that, as in other matters, it makes
all the difference in the world whose
OK is gored; and one: always wants
the other fellows OK gored.
But this is 20 be the test of Mr..
Kitchin's leadership. Somewhere
and in the amount necessary, he must
find the money. He must summon 10
his aid the very experience he speaks
OF. He has seen the republicans lay
taxes, and only two years ago he as
sisted in democratic performance oil
that kind. The reliance OF his party
now is in the services OF man who
knows so much about the subject

Mr.. Bryan on Coming Issues" p"

Mr.. Bryan denominates as coming
issues" peace, prohibition and woman
suffrage. and predicts a decision on
them within the next few years
Not next year. observe. In 1920?
That is probably his idea.
He is in favor of all three-a con-
spicuous national champion. He has
been talking peace for some years.
His favorite lecture, which he has
delivered in all parts OF the country,
is The Prince OF Peace: and since
the war began he has been giving it
new applications Peace just now is
his leading theme He is playing it
against preparedness, as both lee
turer and political writer.
Prohibition likewise has been en-
gagirg his attention. He rates the
drink evil among the greatest curses.
and has been telling his party with
all emphasis that it must divorce it
self absolutely from all drink infu-
ences. His declaration is that the
distillery, the brewery and the bar
room must go; and he is greatly
encouraged by the fact that nineteen
states have already adopted prohibi-
ton. He thinks others are on the
way. Mr.. Bryan and Capt. Hobson
are the most eminent leaders of the
cause in the country.
Mr.. Bryan advocates woman suf-
frage as earnestly as he does either
peace or prohibition. In fact. he
thinks the trilogy necessary to the
salvation OF the country. He links
them together, and when the time
comes will urge them together on the
voters.
Politically considered. 1920 is re-
mote. Much may happen before
then to affect politics and change po-
litical alignments. The past four
years have witnessed some notable
changes. In that time Mr.. Roose-
welt has passed out OF ard defeated
the republican party, and now is ma
neuvering to return.
Mr.. Bryan is today a democrat. all
though out OF the cabinet and lead
ing the opposition to the administra-
tlon's paramount issue. Will he re-
main one against all contingencies
The terms OF the peace that will fol
low the war now raging cannot be
forecast Prohibition if adopted as
a national policy by either OF the old
parties will necessarily produce some
radical changes, and particularly if
that party should be the democracy
Who may safely say, therefore,
that Mr.. Bryan in 1920 will be a
democrat, or. if one then, that he
will fit the emergency so we'll as to
insure his fourth nomination for the
presidency

Help for the War-Stricken Jews.

The American people have re-
| sponded generously to ali calls for
help from the innocent sufferers OF
the war in Europe They have for
( more than year been feeding and
clothing the Belgians who have re-
! mained in their country, and to other
parts OF the war-rent lands across
the sea they have poured forth their
bounty in unstinted measure. Now
| a cry for assistance is heard from the
Jews of Poland and other parts OF
| the eastern area of the war opera
tions, millions OF whom are in the
direst need. many OF them starving
and all OF them deprived OF their or
d1nary means of sustenance and de-
pendent upon the charity of their
military rulers or the world beyond
for life itself.
In a few days Washington will be
the scene OF meeting called in the
interest of the American Jewish re-
lief fund. Already New York, with
characteristic energy and lberality,
has contributed million dollars.
Other cities are doing as we'll in pro-
portion. The National Capital should
ard doubtless will answer the call in
manner to write its name high in
the roll OF honor in this most worthy
work.
The situation of the Jews of the
war zone is pecaliarly distressing.
They have been for centuries politi-
cal pawns in the cruel game OF Eu-
rope. They have been denied the
ordinary guarantees OF protection
from their successive rulers. They
have been prosecuted and slain and
restricted in their development. Now
they arc caught between the gigantic
forces of war and are in a deplor-
able plight, which appeals to the
sympathies OF the world
The fact that other demands have
been made upon the American gen
erosity since this war began does
not warrant any slackening in the
giving now. We as people owe an
obligation to humanity to succor the
sufferers from this cruel conflict. 1t
IS not our fight, but it is our duty
to do whatever can be done to allie
viate the distress of the innocent vic
Tins. The American millions that
may be given will barely meet the
elementary necessities OF the situa-
ton. But they must be given prompt
ly and with assurances OF more if
necessity occurs through the pro-
longation OF the war. This is our
part in the sacrifice that war exacts.
Our country owes much to the peo-
pie for whom this call now rises.
They have become, through their rep
resentatives here, vitality important
factor in American upbuilding and
advancement. In this hour OF dis
tress, when huiSan lives are in the
balance. every consideration calls for
the most liberal giving, and it is to
IL believed that when the collections
aNNnadc Washington will be found
TO be as generous in its subscription
as its size and means permit.

pinch comes will not, halt veteran
A consideration certain to stir and
spur Mr.. kitchin and some other
democrats holding with him is that
the President is thoroughly COM
mitted in this matter, and will meet ii
In next years campaign. 1t is true
he describes the issue as non-parti-
san; and in its large relation it is.
But. necessarily, if preparedness
should be defeated or skimped
through democratic opposition in this
Congress, either because of the
amount of money involved. or be-
cause of squabblings over the sources
of supply, the President will suffer in
his candidacy for second term.
Mr.. kitchin confesses that he has
received a great many suggestions
as to how to meet the emergency.
He will probably receive a great
many more. Since the President in
his address to Congress submitted
his. the subject has grown in interest.
May it continue to grow. For the
time, it overshadows all else.
Death and taxes are associated to-
gether in an old maxim. Both are
certain. And they are both suggested
in this business. For if preparedness
is not ordered and taxes laid in sums
sufficient to pay the bills, death may
come to the country in the shape of
humiliation at the hands OF some
country that is prepared, and has not
counted pennies in estimating its OBJ
legations to itself.

Dangerous Gifts.

At the local hospitals results of
giving firearms to children as pres
ents are already manifest. IN one
case a child of two years was shot
in the side while dragging gun
across the floor. In another case a
boy of eleven was killed by being
shot in the eye in the course of a
playful struggle with his brother
for the possession OF rife. Such
dangerous toys should not be
brought into the house. They are
unsafe for everybody, for their
owners and for others OF the house
hold. A boy of ten or twelve may
possibly by chance be careful
enough to intrust with target gun,
but he is exceptional, and even If
he handles it with caution he may
leave it where it. can be reached by
other children. In the firing OF
these rifles, too, there is always
grave danger Children do not re-
alize that even when they are shoot
ing at mark there is a chance of
the bullets going astray and wound
ing or killing persons at distance.
There are very few places in the
neighborhood of city like Wash
ington where target practice can be
safely undertaken. If the idea in let
ting boys have deadly weapons-and
even the powerful air guns that fig
ure so largely in the list of Christ
mas gifts are deadly-is to accustom
them to the use of guns, the purpose
is badly carried out. As rule the
children are left to Their own devices
in the handling of the guns, with
such disastrous results as those that
have already been noted, and others
almost certain to follow. Any parent
who gives such a present assumes a
heavy responsibility for possible con-
sequences.
