The First Division.

The first regular contingent of Ameri-
can troops to go into the war field will
be division under the command of
Maj. Gen. Pershing. The selection of
troops and commander is excellent. The
force thus placed on the firing line will
be trained in the routine of military
life, many of the men having had field
experience recently in Mexico. Their
commander has proved his worth in the
Philippines and in Mexico.
Gen. Pershing's work in Mexico did
of his own. He was sent over the Dor
der to "get Villa" and he probably
would have "got" him if he had not been
hampered by the so-called de facto gov
eminent of Mexico, which hedged him
about with restrictions, combining his
movements to only one direction, north
ward. It had by that time become the
policy of this government to give the
Carranza government credit for a sim
Celo utSlIG W SAtcl hludlC Lilo AeoSiA
and thereby to aid in strengthening it
as the controlling factor in Mexico. Con-
sequently these restrictions were recog
nized and Gen. Pershing was ordered to
observe them. He proved himself
good soldier and capable commander
throughout the expedition, and his
merits are not to be judged in the least
by the negative results Of that enter
prise.
In France Gen. Pershing and his men
will have different sort of work to do.
They must wage war according to the
new mode. They will need instruction
and guidance They will have the best
of advice and the heartiest assistance.
They will plant the American flag on the
firing line and their presence there will
be an inspiration, not only to the allies,
but to the American people. Other di-
visions will probably follow. 1t would
be a tremendously effective demonstra-
ton of the vast American power and
the unfaltering resolve of this country
to prosecute the war to the end if these
contingents could be dispatched with a
certain regularity.

The Call to Duty.

in terms that ring out the call to
duty President Wilson has proclaimed
the terms of the new act of Congress
creating an army for the prosecution of
the war against Germany. He sets the
9TH day of June next as the day for
the registration of all male persons in
the United States between the ages of
twenty one and thirty, inclusive, and
ular Army. Navy, Marine Corps, National
Guard or Naval Militia, and he calls
upon all officials of the United States
and officers of the states to perform the
duties of this registration.
In clear phrases the President sets
forth the underlying principle of this
new enactment, this landmark in our
progress this "ncw manner of accept
ing and vitalizing our duty to give our
selves with Thoughtful devotion to the
common purpose of us all He notes
that it is no CONSUMPTION of the unwilI-
ing. but rather selection for service
from q nation which has volunteered in
a mass. The day named. he says, is the
time upon which all shall present them
selves for assignment to their tasks, the
tasks for which they are best fitted and
in the performance of which they will
render the greatest service to the coun-
try.
The President makes an important
point in his declaration that in the sense
In which we have been wont to think
of armies there are no armies in this
struggle, but that there are entire ma
tons armed. The man who stays back
to till the soil or to operate the machines
is as much armed for the common cause
as he who is uniformed and equipped
with weapons and sent out to the firing
line. The registration that is to come
a little more than a fortnight hence is
for the purpose of insuring such an as
signment to duty as will keep America
strong at home as well as in the field,
and make most surely for victory over
the power that menaces democracy.
Response to this summons should be
immediate and universal. The President
notes that it is the duty of every man
within the prescribed ages to present
himself without hesitation or delay or
question. And it is equally the duty Of
every other man to see that those who
are within the ages are enrolled. The
9th of June, therefore, the American
people should observe as @great day
of patriotic devotion and obligation"
A new era opens for the American peo-
pie with this call to universal duty. A
new Americanism develops. Every man
is part of the organization, whether he
lives in Arizona or in Maine or in
Washington or in Florida, and the re-
spouse to this call ON the 5th of June
will be universal, and it will be hearty
and willing and patriotic.

New York.

Greater New York has more than the
war on hand. A mayor is to be elected
next fall, and he is very important
parsonage in the big town. Hence, while
the war is occupying good deal Of at
tention, it is not monopolizing it. There
is already lively consideration of the
question as to whether fusion again, or
Tammany, shall sit in the high chair at
city hall.
Mayor Mitchell is little coy, but the
impression grows that he will accept re-
nomination at the hands of another
fusion movement. Republicans, pro-
gressives and independent democrats
are agitating in his favor with his
knowledge, and he is not protesting.
He has made good official. He has
had a policy, and has stood up for it.
he has made some enemies, but only as
a strong and determined man does who
is obliged to fight his way. In New York
such a man in high Office has to fight
uAS way VI nC SctS hoWuCIc. MI
Mitchell has fought, and achieved prog
ress. His friends, it is needless to say,
love him the better for the enemies he
has made.
Several months ago Tammany's pros
poets looked bright. They are not so
bright today. The change is not easily
explained, but it exists, and is the sub
ject of much local comment.
The organization wants the mayoralty
badly. It is today most decidedly out
side the breastworks. At Albany the
republicans are in control, at city hall
the fusionists, while here in Washing
ton democratic administration knows
not the tiger. No comfort and NO pick
ings anywhere.
To win, Tammany must pan . hberal
