Wilson Makes Plea For SeIective
Draft.

Draft.
President Wilson has sent a letter to
Representative Helverine. of Kansas, ex-
planning and strongly supporting the Ad-
ministration's Army bill with its selective
draft plan. The letter indicated the pur-
pose Of the Administration to insist upon
enactment Of the measure vigorously. 1t
follows:
Il welcome the inquiry Of your letter Of
April because have realized the truth
of what you say from my own observation
namely. that what is meant to be under
stood by the selective draft is not generally
understood throughout the country.
THE process of the draft is, I think. very
clearly set forth in the bill drafted by the
War Department, and which so earnestly
hope the Congress will adopt. but it is
worth while to state the idea which under
lies the bill little more fully.
Il took occasion the other day in an ad-
dress to the people of the country to point
out the many forms Of patriotic service
that were open to them and to emphasize
the fact that the military part of the
service was by no means the only part
and perhaps. all things considered, not the
most vital part. Our object 10 a mobiliza-
tion Of all the productive and active forces
OF the nation and their development to the
highest point of cooperation and efficiency,
and the idea Of the selective draft is that
those should be chosen for service in the
army who can be most readily spared from
the prosecution Of the other activities
which the country must engage in and to
which it must devote great deal Of its
best energy and capacity.
THE volunteer system does not do this.
When men choose themselves they some
times choose without due regard to their
other responsibilities. Men may come from
the farms or from the mines or from the
factories or centres Of business who ought
not TO come. but ought to stand back of
the armies in the field and see that they
get everything that they need and that
the people Of the country are sustained in
the meantime.
THE principle Of the selective draft. in
short, has at its heart this idea, that there
Is universal obligation to serve and that
a public authority should choose those
upon whom the obligation Of military ser
vice shall rest. and also in sense choose
those who shall do the rest Of the nations
work. The bill. If adopted. will do more
believe. than any other single instrumen.
tally to create the impression of universal
service in the army and out Of it. and II
properly administered, will be a great
source Of stimulation.
Those who feel that we are turning
away altogether from the voluntary prin-
ciple seem to forget that some 100000
men will be needed to fill the ranks Of the
regular army and the National Guard and
that very great field Of individual enthu-
siasm lies there wide Open"

Foreign War Commissioners Arrive.

Received with military honors and made
the central figure Of popular demonstra-
ton that brought CLINT Of pleasure into
his kindly gray eyes. Arthur J. Balfour,
Principal Secretary Of State for Foreign
Affairs for the British Government. reached
Washington at O'Clock last Sunday after
noon. With him came more than a score
of men distinguished in the important
branches Of the British war service, who
were designated as commission to confer
with the Government Of the United States.
The most important undertaking Of a
series Of conferences arranged between
the representatives Of the British Empire
and those Of this Government will concern
President Wilson and the former British
Prime Minister. Upon the result Of these
interviews hinges the part that the United
States is to play in the war to exterminate
the influence Of the Prussian military sys-
TEN as a menace to the peace Of the world.
The War Commissioners spent Monday
in the American capital receiving every
mark Of honor and courtesy within the
gift Of the Government Foreign Secretary
Arthur James Balfour, formally presented
by Secretary Lansing to President Wilson

the most notable dinner given at the
White House in generation. During the
day he was presented to Vice President
Marshall at the Capitol, lunched with Am
basSador Jusserand at the French En-
bassy and received cards or calls from
many prominent persons. including former
Secretary Bryan.
The French War Commissioners arrived
in Washington Wednesday last. The Star,
of that city. says. Probably never before
in its history has the National Capital &C.
corded such a tribute to visitors from
foreign nation as that represented in the
demonstration today as members Of the
French Commission passed through the
streets Of Washington on their way to the
residence they are to occupy while here.
