The Peoples Vote.

Great stress is being placed by anti-saloon
orators IN certain sections upon the importance
Of letting the people" vote upon prohibition,
One might think from these speeches that the
Ant-Saoon League the champion Of the
downtrodden people.
Yet at the same time, in Missouri, the Rev.
w. I. Shupp, State superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, is trying to force prohibition by
the legislative route. thus avoiding submission of
the issue to the people under the States refer
endum law
Down in Alabama, this same desire to avoid
vote OF those same people who are now so
loudly championed, was shown by the Anti
Saloon League last year when the prohibition
law was made more drastic. But in Alabama,
prohibition leaders were more outspoken as to
their reasons. Asked why the question was not
submitted to the people, B. W. Eichelberger,
State superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
gave desire to avoid delay as the first reason,
and added:
The second was that it would have brought
INTO the State 'slush' fund of enormous size
to corrupt the voters"
Yet, in the face of this distrust of the oeonIe
in the, different States, the Ant-Saloon League
now urges submission of the nationwide amend
ment to the people of the States. Its orators are
even trying to make Congressman believe thew
have no duty but to submit the question to the
States; that the trainers of the Constitution,
though they required a two-thirds vote by Con-
gress, intended that the duty of that body should
De nothing more than clerical or mechanical no
matter what its views upon the amendment pro-
posed.
Does this attitude to nationwide submis-
SION indicate trust in majority rule that is
absent when State fight is madee Inasmuch
as thlrty-sx of the smaller States, with less than
hah the countfy's population, may ratify an
amendment to the Constitution perhaps the Anti
Saloon League is not departing from its State
attitude If it can talk of rule "by the people"
and yet get the nationwide amendment adopted
by minority Of the people, living in the smaller
States, it will be overjoyed

or graduates of military schools and
finally. candidates from civil life.
A matter which promises to provoke an
animated discussion among the conferees
on the pending naval bill will be the
clause which aims to continue beyond
the age of 81, the services of officers Of
the Navy who are graduates of the Naval
Academy. The clause proposes TO hold
these officers in the Navy until they have
filled forty-one years of actual active
service after their graduation.
So violent has been the opposition 10
this clause that II seems likely that
some OF its effects may be softened by
an amendment OF the clause. which will
advance the retiring age from 50 to 81.
There is a general opinion among all ele-
ments in the navy, that two years more
of service would not result in impaired
service on the part of oficers, but the
giving Of forty-one years OF actual serv-
ice from the time OF graduation, IL is held.
might result in the retention of some
oficer for a period beyond the time he
should be retired.
A decision of the War Department as
to what constitutes the total enlisted
strength of the regular army authorized
from time to time by law" is eagerly
awaited by oficers Of the medical de-
partment 1t is specially desired that this
opinion be given in its relation TO the
commissioned personnel of the medical
corps.
The army reorganization act has pro-
vided that there shall be seven COM
missioned officers for every 1000 OF the
total enlisted strength. and until there
is an official determination of this basis
1t will not be possible to undertake the
promotion of officers in the medical de-
partment.
Unofficial information has placed the
total enlisted strength Of the army at
lao, 900, but this is not sufficiently definite

+ In describing the British offensive in the
West, a correspondent at the German great
headquarters cables this information to the New

numerical superiority, hurl attacking wave after

Tense" The phrase Colossal numerical superb

dents since the began. The correspondent
has almost invariably used it in describing the
forces opposing the British. There seems to be
something new, strange and almost puzzling in
the phrase when it is used to describe the British
army. But as the war progresses Germany will
