PEOPLE OPPOSED TO
WAR, AYERS BRYAN
Asserts Great Majority Would
Vote Against HostiIities
With Germany.
FAILS TO SEE PRESIDENT
commoner Declares United
States Should Adopt Itself to
New International Code.

President Wilson's actions in the
German crisis are frowned on by
William Jennings Bryan, former Sec
rotary of State, who only a few days
ago was lauding the President be-
cause of his peace league speech.
While the President is avowedly
preparing for the possibility of hos
tiIities with Germany, Mr.. Bryan is
In Washington addressing ptopa-
ganda in the interests of peace to the
American people. He told a Times re-
porter today he intended exerting his
every effort for peace.
Contrary to the Commoner's usual
custom when he comes to Washing
ton, he did not call upon President
Wilson today. Mr. Bryan stopped at
the Lafayette Hotel, two blocks from
the White House, but said he had no
intention of visiting the Executive
Mansion before leaving for Miami,
Fla, this afternoon.
Says People Oppose War.
The White House has been deIuged
with kilograms from all over the
country assuring the President that
the citizenship Of the nation approves
his course and will support him to the
last in his firm stand.
Notwithstanding this, however, Mr.
Bryan said today that II a referen-
dunn were held on the question of war
with Germany, "the great mass of the
American people would overwhelm-
.ngly vote against it"
what would Germany be doing
while the American people were TAX
ing a referendum" he was asked.
sI cannot say what Germany would
ha ANr 4
or any other country invaded this
country then I would not insist that
the referendum be held under such
circumstances. 1t would be foolhardy.
We would be justified in defending
our shores as promptly as possible
with the best means at hand"
Precautions Not Surrender.
would It be compatible with the
dignity OF the United States and the
interests OF humanity to allow Ger
anany to sink American ships and de-
stroy American lives without going
to war;" asked the interviewer.
ITO take precautions against dan
ger is not a surrender of rights" he
replied. "For instance: Suppose I am
standing on the sidewalk and a
drunken chauffeur starts directly to-
ward me with his car. 1 know he has
no right on the sidewalk and no
right to run over me, but I'd rather
step aside and avoid injury and settle
with him when he gets sober than to
leave the matter to my widow for
settlement" -
New International LARS.
Mr.. Bryan said the nations at war
had made new international laws
since teh outbrek of hostilities, and
the United States should adjust itself
TO the new international code "for the
time being and settle the matter
amicably later"
The interview was abruptly halted
when q Senator called Mr.. Bryan on
the telephone. The Commoner made
an engagement with the Senator and

TO CONSOLIDATE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS

At a special election ON Monday of
this week the people of school dis
tricts Nos. 10 and %, containing the
Cotopaxi, Upper and Lower Texas
Creek and Oak Creek schools, voted
to consolidate and establish a union
school for the patrons of the enlarged
district al Cotopaxi. The proposition
carried by a practically unanimous
vote, only one ballot being cast in
opposition to it.
The consolidation means the erec-
ton of a new school building at Coto-
paxi to meet the demands of the mer-
creased number of teachers to take
care of the educational requirements
of the situation there. The conso.ida-
ton also means the purchase and op-
Grafton by the district of large motor
bus to carry the children in the re.
moter part of the district TO school in
the morning and home in the even
ing, some OF whom reside as much as
ten miles from Cotopaxi.
The consolidated school will have
between fifty and sixty pupils and
wifi be graded institution, with one
or two years of high school work. The
merging of the districts will make
possible a strong graded school at
Cotopaxi without increasing materi-
ally. if at all. the expense TO the tax
payers.
In July the people OF districts Nos.
81 and 13, embracing within their
boundaries the Howard and Stout
schools, will vote upon the subject
of consolidation. Sentiment is un'
derstood to be pretty strongly in ia
vor of consolidation in both districts
and there appears TO be but little doubt
that the proposal viii be endorsed by
the people most directly concerned
in the matter. In the event that it
goes thru a union school will be es-
tablished at Howard with a combined
grade and high school course of study.

SPECULATE ON SYSTEM
OF MILITARY DRAFT

A great deal of discussion has taken
place in Canon City as well as in
other sections of the country during
the last few weeks as to the system
under which the young men who are
to compose the new national army will
be drawn under the se:ective draft.
The law authorizing the new army
does not specify the method by which
the selection of the army personnel
shall be raised. that being left to the
military authorities of congress and
the war department to work out. All
sorts of methods for making the Sc
lection have been suggested, but none
OF them have yet been adopted. A
late dispatch from Washington relat-
ing TO this subject says:
"Under plan proposed by General
Crowder every card in every registra-
tion unit in the United States will be
numbered from one up to the limit of
registration in that unit. Correspond
ing numbers will be placed in a box
and drawn out by the military and
naval committees of the house and
senate until as many numbers are
drawn as are necessary to make up
the 100000 men who will be select
ed at the first drawing.
Thus, for example. if the commit
tee should draw out of the box No.
1872. every young man in the country
whose registration card bears the num-
bered 1872 would be regarded as select
ed for service.
THE provost marshal general has
already received from each registra-
tion unit word OF how many registra-
tions there were in that unit The
numbers to be placed in the box will
be numbered up to the highest mum
in the United States
THUS, If No. / should be drawn
out by the committee. IL would mean
that there will be one man drawn
from every unit. but IL high number.
as 700, should be drawn. no man would
be selected from many units for the
reason that there were not that many
registrations in many places.
IF by this process any state should
be called upon to furnish more than
its fair quota of troops. its numbers
would be reduced without affecting
the draft because a large surplus OF
men will be drawn TO provide for
such emergencies"
