LAST VOLUNTEER ARMY
Col. Glendie B. Young's View, Ex.
pressed at Banquet-0ther
Speakers and Themes.

That the United States has seen Its
last volunteer army and that universal
military training in this country Is q
certainty were predictions made last
night by Col. Glendie B. Young, COM
handing the Sd Infantry of the District
National Guard. at the thirty-seventh
anniversary dinner Of the National
Rifles Veterans Association. at the Cor
don Hotel.
Since tho District guard returned
from the border it has lost over three
hundred men from various causes and
recruited less than seventy. Col. Young
stated. On registration day. when
nearly $4,000 young men OF the DISTRICT
registered for war service. the guard
had representatives at each registra-
ton precinct and secured only one re-
cruit These facts were quoted as in
dicating that the volunteer system Is
not the best way to raise an army.
However. the District. in proportion to
its population. he asserted. leads all
states in tho size OF its organized MI
litia.

All Willing to Shoulder Arms.

That this country has the resources
in men. money and supplies necessary
for winning the war, and that, il neces-
sary, her citizens from thirty to fifty
years will gladly shoulder arms that
free government may live, was the as
sertion of Mr.. Manson. Remarks by
other speakers included an appeal to
every American to buy a liberty bond,
and to lend himself in every way to the
task of carrying the war to success
full finish as quickly as possible.
Both Mr.. Evans and President Oyster
referred to the history and growth of
the Veterans Association. Members of
the organization have seen service in the
civil and Spanish wars, while others be-
long to the army now being organized
for the war against Germany.
An impressive feature of the dinner was
the dinming of lights while the records
Of two members who have died during
the year were read. The deceased COM
rades were Corp James A. Sample and
Sergt. Henry X. Simpson.
Before adjourping the members extended
a rising vote % thanks to Mr.. Evans for
his long service as secretary Of the or
ganiZation.

Stage Performance at Fort Myer
Under Difficulties Never Before
Faced by Stars.

Overcoming difficulties rarely faced
by any stage director. the Friars Of
New York, composed of stars OF the
footlights and other stage folk. frol-
icked< their way into the hearts OF the
thousands OF student officers and the
public in the riding hall of Fort Myer
last night.
1t was an entertainment which for
its scale and unique purpose will live
in the annals of even the Friars. 1t
was the first of tour during which
all the training camps of the United
States will be visited.
The first difficulty encountered was
when the terrific storm struck Fort
Myer. Every light on the reservation
was put out Of commission. The per-
formanc was delayed for half an hour
in the hope that the electric light cur
rent could be restored.

saw only success for the conscripted
army that is going to France to hight
the battles Of democracy. The war in
all its phases and what 1t means to
this country and the world was dis
cussed. with the singing Of patriotic
songs interpreting the address. The
meeting was a Patriotic demonstration
from start to finish.

triot Supreme Court: Warren b. Choate.
Edward 8. Bailey. Milo C.. Summers,

rfngton.
Justice Siddons declared that this ma
ton never had drawn the sword except
in behalf Of human liberty. Mr.. Choate
said that the nation, in this crisis. needs
every man for the work he is best
qualified to do and that the members OF
the association would be classified for
service.

This difficulty was finally solved by

Scramble for Places on
Exemption Boards Floods
White House With Appeals

The White House is flooded with
recommendations of men for appoint
ment on the exemption boards to be
appointed by the President to decide
upon claims for exemptions made py
young men who registered last Tues
day. Such boards, according 10 pres
ent plans, are to be appointed in large
numbers. approximately each 3o.ooo
population throughout the country 10
have one board In addition to these
exemption boards the President also IS
to appoint a board of review for each
federal judicial district of the Unlted
States.
Apparently the. selection of these
boards is being capitalized 5y local
politicians in every section of the coun-
try. and the appointment OF the board
members is rapidly assuming the pro-
portions Of a countrywide fourth-class
postmastership scramble after change
of administration.
1t has been announced repeatedly that
the selection of the many exemption
board is to be as free from partisanism
as is humanity possible, but the local
politicians do not seem to have taken the
announcement seriously at all. By mail
and by wire the suggestions have
volume increasing every day, until the
very numbers of these suggestions" are
likely to hamper very seriously the mat
ter OF determining who shall compose
the boards.
Are Being Made Political Capital.
Naturally. the President will have to be
guided largely in his appointments by sug-
gestions from individuals familiar with
local conditions. II it becomes further
apparent. however. that the selection of
the personnel of the various boards is
really being made matter of political
capital the manner of appointing the
boards may be radically changed.
According to present plans about
$500 to 1000 boards Of exemptions are
to be appointed, besides the boards of
review to which appeals may be taken
from decisions of the exemptions
boards This would mean that about
10000 to $4,000 appointments to these
positions are to be made. No matter
what the salaries of members of these
boards may be-even if the positions
carry merely nominal salaries-it is
evident that local politicians in every
part of the country look upon the APP
pointments as political plums worth
trying for: probably. in many cases.
