UNIVERSAL SERVICE NECESSARY.
(San Antonio Lightly

One of the great advantages of universal
service over the old wasteful volunteer sys-
tenn is that it permits the government to
select the men who shall 90 TO the battle
field and those who shall remain behind to
perform the work for which they are emf
nently fitted, and without which the men
who go to war are simply sent out to be
murdered.
There can be no doubt that a call for
ands of young men burning with "A desire to
serve their country on the battlefield. They
desire TO fight and they believe that no man
is serving his country unless he is working
a rifle or a machine gun in the first line.
Such a spirit is highly commendable
and that nation that has no such spirit
among its young men is lost. For all that,
however, there are many men who should
not be allowed to go TO the firing line, for
the excellent reason that they can be more
useful to their country elsewhere, and their
country has a right TO their service wher-
ever they can do the most for her.
Great Britain made this mistake at the
openi1g of the war. She called her young
men, and they came forward hot with
wrath at the crimes committed by Germany
in Belgium, burning with patriotism, anx-
ious to do all things in their mortal pow
er for the safety and glory of Great Brit
ain. Thousands of these men came from
the railroads and from the great shops of
Britain. The result was that the rail-
roads were hampered in operation and
skilled labor in the great machine shops
of the country was growing scarce.
Awakening TO her danger Great Britain
Immediately called back from France many
thousands of railroad employees, and iron
and steel workers, explaining that she
needed them more mt home than at the
'front.'. She gave each of them a %certifi-
cate to the fact hat she had herself speci.
lied the direction in which their patriotir
endeavor shuld be expended. She needed
munitions of all kinds. She needed skilled
men on her great transportation systems.
She needed builders of railroads behind her
lines. Many of these men were anxious
TO fight at the front, but they are not al
lowed TO go there, and they never should
be allowed TO 60 there. Their place is
where they can render the maximum serv-
ice to their country. She has a right to
it, and it is her duty to take il.
Under the universal service system the
United States can put men where they can
do the United States the most good. Under
the volunteer system she may see her
transportation d~isorganized, her shops
made comparatively ineffective until 4 new
corps of workers j. trained, and her whole
internal economic organization crippled.
The needs of the country must dictate
where and now her sons shall serve.
There Is every patriotic reason calling
for the adoption of universal service. 1t
is the only proper method. the only fair
method, and the only method that can pos
sibly win the war unless BY a staggering
expenditure of life and money which must
at last in the adoption of the system
which alone could have avoided it had il
been adopted at first.
Universal service is the only thing.

WHAT WE CALL A SYMPHONY
Merely Series of Ordered Sounds Produced by Means of Instru-
 ments of Different Kinds.

What we call symphony is merely
 series of ordered sounds produced by means of instruments of various kinds. It is sound and nothing else. Our program books tell us about first themes" and ssecond themes," and we make what effort we can to patch to- gether the various brilliant textures of symphonic music into a coherent pat tern; but the music we seek lies be- hind these outward manifestations, as, in a lesser sense, the significance of a
 great poem lies behind or beneath the actual words. A symphony is not a record of something else; it is not q picture of something else; you cannot use the word selse'' in connection with it because it is itself only. Any in- telligent person, on being shown dia- gram or plan of a symphonic move ment, could be made to understand how and why the material was so dis posed; for that disposition is dictated to the composer by the nature of sound and by the limitations and capacities of human beings, and 1t conforms to certain principles which operate ev- anywhere; but that understanding would not reveal the symphony to him.

FIELD FOR AMERICAN LUMBER
United States Supplied Little of lnn- ports Into Mediterranean Dis
 trfct Before War.


 Roumania and Austria Hungary are the principal competitors American lumbermen will find in the lumber markets of the Mediterranean district and the near East when the war is over, according to report on the sub- ject just published by Uncle Sam's bureau of foreign and domestic com merce. 1t is business that the Rou- manians and Austrians have handled successfully and almost exclusively for many years.
 The annual value of the lumber im- ports into these regions before the war Is placed at S132, ,292, 900, of which the United States supplied $12,652, 1000 worth, most of which, however, went to comparatively well-known markets in Spain, France and Italy. American lumber is seldom met with in Turkey, Tunis, Serbia, Persia, Greece, Egypt, Bulgaria and Algeria.
 The bureaus report is devoted prin- cipally to descriptions of each of these markets, giving the source of lumber supplies, the demand and the charac- ter of lumber desired and, where pos sible, the prices obtained before the war;

IN NEW Y0RK's EARLY DAYS
Simple Reason Why the First Settle ment Grew in Length Instead
 of Breadth.

The province of New York was in reality fringe of settlements on the Hudson river, Manhattan island and Long island; back of this fringe was a waste of trackless forest land, the land of mountains and ravines, where lurked vast hordes of Indians, driven from the water front by the daring mariners, to whom, for a song, the simple savages had sold their birth right. The foolish white man, sowing seeds of cunning and distrust, had pushed the red man into a mightier stronghold among the crags and cliffs-but not before he had learned the use of firearms, and had learned also the lesson of killing for revenge. With this menace at their back, 1t is no wonder that the territory of New York grew in length rather than in breadth, though, as early as 1860, a handful of dauntless pioneers, led by Arendt Van Curler or Brother Cor laer,' as the Iroquois Indians called him, travelled up to Albany, through what is known as Clinton avenne, un. til reaching Norman's Kill they struck forest trail which led them to thei1 future home on q low plateau on the banks of the Mohawk.-From "Heroes of the American Revolution" by Oliver Clay.

 He unlocked the door and disap- peared. Sulaiman and Mukhtar sent fearful curses after him, but Vely Bey remained silent and immobile, looking down at the water. He stood there while the dusk came and passed, while the night came on and grew black Blacker than the night were the thoughts that he beHt upon his father.
