CUMINGS ON DRAFT

 Views of President on Service.
 fspecial to the Herald).
 Washington, April 16.-Pupilc on,n,on in the United States will soon .-,.ta1,,xe in favor of the administra- t,on,s plan of raising an army by m.ans of the selective draft system ..,d Homer s. Cummings. Connecticut .amber of the democratic national committee, at his hotel here.
 '"The words draft and 'conscr1p- t,on' have not a pleasant sound III American ears. A good many olo- timers recall the draft riots in Ne" York and fear we might have repe- tition of those lamentable occurrences They are mistaken in this, however for there would be nothing or tho aort. The truth is that 8 plan or en- forced military service with the gov ernment selecting those to go to the Front and those to stay at home is the orlv efficient and businesslike plan that can be adopted, and in the end ,t will be the only satisfactory one' The volunteer system listens we'll put it won't work. It's advocates are sin- cere and patriotic men but they are greatly in error. We can never get an army in that way. and as we are certain to have to resort to conscrtp- lion sooner or later. there Is no w1s- Aom in procrasttnation.

ter war needs have been taken care or. Large government orders are re- ported to be going to representative copper companies. Important action will be taken by Congress next week on the matter of Federal amendments for national prohibition and women's suffrage. Preliminary advices suggest that the former may pass, but that the latter will fail at this time
 Fear of what may happen on the western battlefront when Germany begins it's massed drive against the AL lies with armies enormously reinforc- ed by Teutons from the Russian front has been one of the most unsettling stock market factors of the week These fears may prove to be unsound- ly based, for the Allies are now better prepared than ever before to meet such a shock and punish the Germans with great slaughter in pursuance of tactics supporting their policy of att triton. Some of the liquidation in the stock market is traceable to sell- ing of loan collateral by British sources. High-priced specialties are being discriminated against by conser- 4'S~SA'O OAAcAAAAOAo OCSAuoO OA pSTSlSIGuL investment selling said to be partly due to payment of Liberty Loan in- stalments. There continues to be a substantial amount of odd lot buying. The point is made that there IS not so much a lack of ability to buy stocks as there is a feeling that purchases may be made lower. Financial writers seem to be generally agreed in the opinion that never before has oppor- unity called with so loud voice in the market. Bargains are plentiful for those who can afford to buy and hold sound securities which will be benefited by the return of peace.
