STILL A VOLUNTEER SYSTEM

The passage Of the CONSUMPTION law did not by any
means end the volunteer system of raising military forces
in this country. The selective conscription law is not a
substitute for the former method, but an addition to it.
The existing armed forces of the country are divided
into two groups. In what is known as the regular serv-
ice are the regular army forces. those of the navy and
marines, and all those branches Of service, coast guard
and SO forth, made up of men who enlist for a definite
term and who devote their entire time to the service in
which they are enlisted. In the other group are the men
OF the National Guard. Both Of these groups are re-
cruited by voluntary enlistment. There is no other meth
Cd. II a man wishes to get into army or navy life as an
occupation for a definite term the opportunity is open
to him through the volunteer method. II he wishes to
join the military forces of his state. with the liability
to such active service from time to time as may be de-
manded of him, again the method is that Of enlistment
Registration such as that Of last Tuesday is not a bar
to such enlistment. Registration does not change the
status Of the individual in any particular. The registered
man is free in every sense to do the things that he was
free to do before registration. II he wishes to enlist in

BLOWING HOT N COLD

On June 6, at williston, A. c. Townley, inventor and
organizer Of the Nonpartisan League, in a public address
said:
'The flower Of the young manhood Of this nation is
going across the water to bleed, as we are told, for the
honor Of the country. but it needs some effort for me to
believe that these young men are going to fight for the
freedom Of democracy. I believe and fear they are going
to bleed for the profits Of the damned pirates who profit
from our food and our products"
In a previous address at Devils Lake Townley had
spoken In the same strain, and had referred sneertngly to
the Liberty Loan, and had ridiculed investment in the
securities of the government for the funding Of the war.
On June Z, the Courier News, a daily paper published
at Fargo in the interest Of the league, controlled and
operated by prominent members Of the league. and ac-
copied as the daily organ OF the society, closed one OF
its editorials with these words:
The idea of unsedfish service for the cause of de-
mocracy was born in this country and it's appeal will be
tainly if the young men who registered Tuesday are will
ing to lay down their lives in order that we may live in
a world made safe for democracy and free from the
terrors Of war, then those who cannot go across the sea
ought to be willing to loan their dollars to the govern
ment SO that our soldiers may carry on their work ef-
fectively."
We have all heard of people blowing hot and cold
with the same breath. Here we have an illustration OF
1t. Out Of the same mouth comes patriotic sentMn ent and
reasonable counsel. Where do the league memberA stand
Which advice will they follow? What are they to under
stand are the real sentiments of the man who has under
taken to become their master? Will they understand that
the words which they read in the daily organ Of their
society are the words Of soberness and wisdom, and tnat
the utterances Of Townley on the platform are but the
mouthings of the mountebank anxious to tickle the ears
OF his hearers? Or will they understand that the edit
orial utterances are intended merely to comply with the
proprieties, while the real character Of the boss is exhib-
tied on the platform, where venom exudes from every
pore. and where words of hatred are rolled as sweet NOR
sells under his tongue:
Are the league members with Townley when he
blows hot or when he blows cold?

The problem Of overcoming the
network Of barbed wire protecting the
front lines Of the enemy's position
presented difficulties 1t the beginning
Of the campaign, but artillery has
now acquired the mastery of that OBJ
stacle and as q consequence the
enemy no longer finds himself In Sc.
curity behind 1t. All the French col
onel wants to know, when a raid IS
about to be undertaken. 10 the hour at
which it is intended to start. A few
minutes sufices to make penetration
by resolute infantrymen possible. sud
den outbreaks Of artillery fire are so
more attention to them than to return
some shells, while the troops manning
his front trenches seek shelter In
their dugouts until the shower of steel
has stopped.
The enemy'e uncertainty as to what
10 to happen frequently leads to his
undoing, for before he has made up
his mind that the French guns nave
decided to cease firing and that 1t Is
safe to come out from the shelters
again he finds French soldiers leaping
into the trenches and throwing gren-
AIDES into the mouths Of the dugouts
while calling on their occupants to
surrender. Refusal or hesitation
means a further volley Of grenades
and almost certain severe injury or
death to those inside. Therefore they
shout "KAmarade!" throw down their
arms and come out to be chased be-
fore their captors back through the
broken network Of barbed wire to the
French lines.
In one division the regiments made
q speciality Of surprise trench raids
and acquired almost unbelievable skill
in carrying them out almost without
loss to themselves. One regiment. in
the course Of the last month, had to
its credit ten such raids, as a result Of
| which, besides killing many enemies,
they captured hfty-three German
prisoners, without the loss Of q single
Frenchman..
The French and German lines are
SO close that a raid rarely takes more
than ten minute-just the time to
race across the open, make the haul
Of prisoners and rae back with them
again. Night or day makes no differ
ence-the main idea is to go over the
top and get back to the French lines
with the prisoners after causing as
much damage as possible before the
Germans have time to throw in REIN
| forcements to their front trench.

paris. June Son tho supposition
that Germany would be glad to cali
fhe war a draw, Andre Cheradame.
an author and journalist, points U
some advantages that Germany would
gain from such q settlement. the prln-
cipal Of which Is the relative ioW
1cost Of the wal to Germany. TO TINS
time, as compared with the outiay "
the entente allies.
These are six fundamental reasons
why Germany has been able IN his
opinion to conduct the wal with less
expenditure than any one OF the en-
tente allies in proportion to the num-
her Of men put into the field:
Absence Of improvisation in the
German effort.
production Of armament n num-
tons.
sence of improvisation.
Economical labor.
Free iron ore and coal from invaded
Economical transportation by rea,
son Of the grouping OF the central
powers inside the battle lines.
Germany, he asserts, had only to
develop with machine tools built on
it's own territory its manufacture OF
war material tnaL was dlredoy Con-
siderable before the opening OF hos
~tilities, in order to produce the enor--
NOUS series Of types of cannon and
the different calibers Of projectiles
that were needed. All these had been
carefully and infinitely worked out In
the tranquility Of peace. while. on the
other hand. the production of war
material was insignificant in France
and almost nothing in Great Britain
and Russia at the beginning of the
struggle. In all of the entente coun-
tries it was necessary to improvise. to
construct rapidly new works, to equip
old ones with new machine tools
brought from America at enormous
expense and, at the same time. to
improvise new types Of cannon and
projectiles.
This improvisation, M. Cheradame
declares, in time of val occasions q
great many false steps, inevitable
wastage Of material, and ar immense
increase in general expenses.
The remarkable extension to a state
of war Of industrial methods that
were highly developed and systema-
tized in time Of peace, says M. Chera-

every branch Of CONSTRUCTION enoE-
NOUS losses Of raw materials OF every
kind, from which all the entente q.
lies have suffered.
So far as labor 10 concerned! the
force Of about 1000, 900 prisoners OF
war. The official report OF the n
yestisating commission appointed by
the French government and dated
! April IL, 1917, concerning acts COM
| nlitted by the Germans contrary 70 IN
ternational law, shows how they
| utilize this labor in the manufacture
Of munitions as we'll as N the con.
these 1000, 900 prisoners Of war, the
Germans had under. their control T.
! 100000 Belgians, 100000 French.
men, 100000 serbians. 5000 900
Rumanians and 2 2,000,0 900 Poles in
the invaded regions:
TO show how they utilise these
civilians in work connected with the
war. NJ. Cheradame cites an Example
who was obliged to work six months
during the harvest season dissing pc.
tatoes or at similar tasks from .
! o'clock in the morning until dusk.
The amount the Germans paid her for
| his six months labor was equivalent
Of less than 81.
While the entente allies have been
obliged to pay the high ocean froightg
on coal and iron ore, Germany found
in the invaded region Of France Ill
the Iron ore she needed. and in Bel.
GUM and Poland immense quantities
Of coal that she had only to take. pay
ing the labor at very low rates. bring
ing down the raw materials that en-
ter into her munitions to . very low
figure.
M. Cheradame estimates that, when
Germany expends 0 0,o00,0o0 francs
for war material, France must spend
$50, OO0, 900 which would make the
war cost between the two countries
in the proportion Of 2 for Germany to
8 for France.
M. Cheradame surmisss that the
peace formula now going the round
Of socialist organisations Of peace
without annexation and without in

feeling she is beaten, would be glad
to cali the game a draw and escape
