If no troops at all had been returned
we should never have commenced any

troops had been sent home, our boys
wanted to go naturally and commenced
to talk about 1t and it became the pre-
vailing impression that the officers
were keeping the regiment here, and
that some of the officers would do all in
their power to effect that result. How

Recruiting Is Slow.

Official figures furnished the Ma
tional Security league by Adjutant Cen
eraI H. P. Mccain, in response to an
inquiry made of Secretary OF war
Baker, show that the regular army,
since the passage OF the army reor-
ganization bill has gained nothing in
recruited strength by either this law
ar by the emergency act previously
passed, providing for 10000 additional
men tosmeet the Mexican crisis.
In spite of the fact that nearly 49,
600 additional men have been enlisted
since September. 1915. the actual
strength of the army has not yet been
brought up to the number authorized
by the old law.
The war department figures show
that only twelve thousand six hundred
fifty men elisted since September ID.
1915, thirteen months ago, in spite OF
the emergency that caused congress to
authorize the president, at his discre-
ton, to increase the army by twenty
thousand men. On that date there
were ss,eO7 enlisted men in the army.
exclusive Of the Philippine scouts, the
corps and medical
corps. The enlisted strength by the
latest official returns, according to the
statement furnished by Adjutant Gen
eral Mccain, is 99,257. These figures
likewise are exclusive OF the above
mentioned corps.

AUSTRALIANS BIT.

Australia has rejected by vote of approx
mately nine hundred thousand to eight nun
dred thousand the proposal to change the pres
ent system of compulsory military service
within the territorial limits to service overseas
The defeat of the measure brought forward by
the Australian prime minister, William NJ.
Hughes. as essential to the safety OF the en-
pire was effected by the votes of the Aus
tralian women.
To draw the general conclusion from this
particular case that when woman gets the bal
lot universally she would put an end to war
would take too much for granted however Inc
fact that a heavy toll in Australian lives was
sacrificed at the Dardanelles without, so far as
the Australian people can see, the gain OF any
commensurate advantage, had no doubt pro
found influence in this election 1t is lntell-
gible that some Australian women may feel
that they are ''doing their bit'' already.
The just past Australian election does not
interfere in any way with the admirable sys-
TEN of universal military training now in
force in Australia, nor is there any prospect OF
success for campaign to abolish it. Likewise,
the votes of the Australian women are not like
ly to affect the ultimate outcome OF the war;
that they may to fractional extent postpone the
day of peace and thus, in the same degree, pro-
long the period of world suffering is probable,
unless enlistment shows an increase In Aus
tralia.

TODAY.s BIT OF VERSE
INDIAN SUMNER TIME.

The mountains slumber sweetly in the haze,
The twilight glow is rosy like old wine,
And human life is wont to stand and gaze
Upon scene chaste and so divine.
We feel that nature. weary from the toll
OF pouring fruit and grain in Plenty's lap,
Is overcome, and silencing the MOL
Has settled down to take needed nap.
The leaves are turning yellow, brown or red,
And have begun to tumble to the ground,
The violet and daisy both are dead,
The goldenrod is blooming all around;
The haws are turning black, and seem to smiE
Invitingly TO urchins as they pass.
The nuts are peeping forth with russell vile,
And cheerful crickets chirping in the grass.
The orchards are a-bent with juicy wealth,
The cider mills a-buzz with drunken bees,
The air a-tang with rugged human health,
While somnolence is tincturing the breeze;
The creeks dancing to sleepy tune,
The singing bird departing for the south,
October clasping hands with silent June
Who holds yellow rose bud in her mouth.
And yet there is sadness in the air,
The spirit of dissolution is abroad,
Old Boreas has left his frozen lair,
And is advancing down the Arctic road;
We feel his breath upon the autumn breeze
And contemplate his coming with dread;
We know his cruel mission is to freeze
And leave the lovely flowers black and dead.

THE NEWER EDUCATION.

It appeals to the Chicago Tribune as para
doxical that the university which John Harv-
ard founded should be offering prizes for the
best essays on plumbing. The Tribune says
'sit involves far departure from John Harv-
ard IS ideal of college training" Unquestion-
ably it does, but John Harvard founded his
ideal on his knowledge of conditions as he saw
them; his ideals were academic because the
students he foresaw were almost all of them
practical workers, finding their training and
experience from youth up on home grounds.
There is nothing paradoxical in Harvard s
recognition of plumbing among other scientific
utilities There was little or no plumbing in
John Harvard's experience and little or no
money for prizes, either The progress of the
great university has been logical as was the
purpose of its founder in inaugurating school
for higher usefulness in education.

UNBUs1NEssL1KE GOVERNMENT.

The newly elected congress, unless called in
extra session, does not meet until December.
1917. Almost every one will admit that this
arrangement is anomalous and contrary to all
principles of successful business.
In private life, if one employs new man he
is wanted on the new job at once. Holdovers
cannot be expected to put much energy into
their work. If one is taking on new set of
men or new ideas, they should be tried out as
soon as possible. If the men and ideas arc
good the benefit is wanted and looked for in
the least possible time; if they are futile, it is
desirable this should be known in the shortest
possible time.
The short session of congress Immediately
following election additionally never does
much but pass appropriation bills. Even where
the same party is retained in power, there arc
a lot of members who are not to come back
They feel little enthusiasm for work. The ses
sion is perfunctory. Yet there is host OF ble
problems Immediately demanding attention

the establishment of merchant marine and
the enactment of legislation permitting coop

the development of their business abroad. The
members of the organization ask nothing I'M
reasonable, and, as they have put their requests

that they believe their interests have not had
