OUR VERSATILE OFFICERS.

Before this war is over we shall
probably have two million men in Eu.
rope" writes Mary Roberts Rinehart.
who has been visiting the army training
camps the country over and reports her
findings in the Saturday Evening Post.
And every thirty-two men Of that
battalion will have to have "A platoon
leader. That means G2,5OO men who
will be responsible for their platoons,
who must know not only how to drill
and train them, but how, when once
they have reached France, to take their
platoons forward, dispose them prop
erly in the trenches according to the
new and complicated laws governing
trench warfare; and having placed
them there, how to keep them fed,
clothed and warmed, give them proper
hours Of rest and Of labor. and teach
them to repair trenches and TO dig new
ones In addition these platoon leaders
must supervise the care Of the wounded
and, when the moment comes, must lead
their men to the charge.
ITO do all this these 625OO officers,
to-be must be not only soldiers, but
bookkeepers, trained nurses, cooks. dip
lomats, sanitarians, carpenters and en-.
gineers."
Now these, Of course are male ectivi.
ties. But somehow that last paragraph
sounds strangely like the requirements
for the successful wife and mother.
And perhaps when these fine Young of.
ficers come back from the war, as 20
per cent of them, according 70 the
latest figures, are going TO do, they may
add to the long and varied list Of ;heir
attainments a high degree Of sympathy
and understanding for the work Of those

cringing and crawling he at least is
not. He is standing up four-square
against the advocates of the food con.

popular majority.
Certainly, on Senator Reeds theory
that every moments delay in the pass

disaster that much closer" he is the
one pure patriot in congress. He has
added not merely a moments delay Ia
the passage Of this necessary measure
but by a delay Of hours and days by
sheer force Of obstructive verbiage.
II a legislative back ever deserves
the lash, it is for performance Of this
kind in open opposition TO the will OF
the people. The delay in passing the
food control bill has long been a scan
dal but 1t has exhibited no more scan
dalous aspect than in this perversion OF
senatorial privilege TO obstruct and re

REAL AUTO DRIVERS.

English and American women in Bue.
nos Aires have introduced custom
there which has developed remarkably
within the last six months They
have encouraged Argentine women to
drive autos.
In this country cars driven by women
are almost as common as those driven
by men. But II has not been so in the
South American republic. II is now a
matter OF note that 100 Buenos Aires
women are driving their own cars.
The Argentine women may have been
inspired by their English-speaking sis.
ters. But they seem TO have gone
them one better In skill in driving. At
least, they are more sure OF their cars
and better trained for handling them
than the average American woman.
In the first place. the would.be driv.
ers must pass stiff examination be-
fore they receive a permit to drive a
car. Technical experts conduct these
examinations and have reported that
the applicants handle their cars with
ease and pass the motor examinations
with confidence and serenity. In fact,
they seem to be more selfpossessed and
accurate about the whole business than
are the men taking the same examina-
tions. These are the same tests men
must pass before they become public
drivers.
These feminine chaufeurs have made
n record, too, in regard to accidents.
According TO the police records Of the
city not a single accident has been
caused by a womandriven car so far,
1t would be interesting TO know just
how many OF the auto drivers-men or
women-in these parts who have been
in accidents could have passed a techni-
cal examination in the theory and prac.
tlce OF managing automobiles.

SECRET SERVICE

everything is easy TO see or to know

one person, at least. who will pass the
word along. That means by any Ger.

war" and laugh about it--and they be.

When they say "all's fair in love and
war; in Germany. they mean it-espe.
cially about war. All is fair In German
war. Every German believes 1t and
every German is patriot. He is taught
that his country is about everything

to know. he will go TO much trouble to
see that his government hears OF II as

ALIENS AND nIOTAS

81. Louis Globe-DemOcrat: As the
Globe-Democrat has previously remark
ed, the only theoretically equitable
method OF drawing an army would be
TO base the quotas on the list OF actual
eligibles, after all exemptions are made
But this would cause an indefinite de
lay and time is one OF the most impor
tant elements in the existing situation
But there is an inequity that is giving
grave concern and II could have been
easily avoided. We refer TO the basing
Of quotas on registration lists, includ
ing the aliens. who are ineligible to con.
scription. Registering aliens rendered a
service and II was well that II was done
but their cards should have been kept
separate from those OF citizens and they
should not have been included in the
military registration at all.
II the aliens were distributed with
even approximate equality, little in,
justice would be done. But they are
unequally distributed, both as TO regis
tration districts and as to states. One
New Jersey district reports that only
4S percent OF its registrants are citi
zens. There are other districts with
scarcely an alien. The alien popula,
tion OF the entire state OF Alabama Is
S'lOO OF l percent OF the total. The
alien population Of the entire state o,
Connecticut is SO per cent. Therefore
Connecticut must furnish as many so,.
diers from its 81 eligibles as Alabama
from ss.s7, This inequality would be
more striking in many districts. The
New Jersey district. for example. would
have TO furnish as many soldiers for
each forty.three eligibles as Alabama
does for 99s7
The quotas cannot be changed with.
out seriously interrupting the first
draft. But congress should. in the in.
terest Of equality, compel a change in
future apportionments. 1t is not i'm.
possible that after aliens and EXEMPT
persons are eliminated, all the actual
eligibles will be used In the first draft
In districts in which there is a large
alien population, coupled with a large
employment In strictly war industries.
Such a situation would force reappor.
tionment.
