NOT CONTRARY TO DEMOCRACY

The brief characterizeS as "unfounded' the contention that compulsory military service is contrary to the spirit of de- mocracy and says that while convictions for the draft in this counry have been infrequent, lit has been resorted to with out flinching when the emergency arose. It was largely through this method that the revolutionary war was successfully concluded, the government declares, and under the conditions of modern warfare this means of raising an army are the most aFudent, just and equitable method which Can be employkd
 War now is not a' matter of men, but of nations it adds All of the re- sources of the combatants, human and material, are thrown into the scale. As it is in the power of the government to compel, so it is the duty of all it's citi- zens to give, regardless of personal pref erence, the service which they can most efficiently render. Those who bear the responsibility of leadership must have also the power to assign every citizen to the station he is best qualified to fill. Nor is it any longer just to leave the performance of military duties only to the most ardent and patriotic, instead of distributing them with equity over the population as whole.

 "It has long been settled under our scheme of constitutional government and the statutes, that power resides in only one person to decide when the emer- gency arises which justifies the calling out of the militia; that person is the commander-in-c the President.

Aside from several sectors in the
region between Scissors and Rheims

king place. - .-L
TheFrench, continuing their smash
ing tactics against the Germans, now
have re-taken the greater part of the
territory lying northeast of the NOISY
farm in the region of Vauxaillon,
which the army of the German crown
prince, reinforced by picked men,
captured last week in attacks in which
they suffered extremely heavy cas-
ualties under the fire of the French
artillerymen and infantry. To the
east, in the region Of Hurtebise and
Craonne, the violent artillery contin-
ues and the French guns have put
down an attempted infantry attack by
the Germans, the intensity of the fire
and the accuracy of the aim keeping
the men picked for the Onslaught fast
in their trenches.
The operations of Sir Douglas
Haig's army against the Germans in
France and Belgium have consisted
entirely in effectually putting down
attempted enemy raids and answer
ing the fire of hostile guns. There is
still considerable artillery activity on
part of the Germans on various sec
tors in Belgium, especially near Re-
ninghe, Pypegaale and Lizerne, and
lively hand grenade fighting between
the French and Germans near Steen-
straete and the Ferryman's House.
There has been no resumption Of
the Italian offensive in the Trentino
region of the Austro- Italian theater,
but on the Asiago plateau there has
been considerable artillery activity.

President broad authority to control
the distribution of food, feed and fuel
for war purposes and appropriating
$152, 500,000 for its enforcement and
administration, was passed by the

ses all liquor now on hand.
The bill now goes to the Senate
where it probably will be substituted
for similar measure already under

Final Disposition Of The Prop

Last.
WELL PLEASED
Both Ends Of The Road To
Become Part Of The !.
c. System July l.

Nashville, Tenn, June 25.-The
sale of the Tennessee Central Rail-
road has been consummated. While it
will require the sanction of the an
nual meeting of the directors before
the formal action is taken, il is as
sured, through semi-official sources,
that the Illinois Central Railroad will
again take over the Tennessee Rail-
road, including not only the western
division, as formerly leased, but also
that portion once held by the South
ern Railway.
The annual meeting of the direct
ors of the Illinois Central will be held
June 80 in Chicago, and it is certain
that the plan to take over the Tennes-
see Central will then be ratified.
The last Of a series of proposed
sales of the Tennessee Central is due
to take place in Nashville on July 2,
two days after the annual meeting Of
the heads of the Illinois Central.
While there has been no official noti-
fication on this point, there are per-
sistent rumors that the Illinois Gen.
trail Railroad has already secured con-
troll of the Nashville terminal proper
ties, which consist largely of belt
lines around the city.
The news of the definite purpose OF
the Illinois Central to assume perma-
nent control of the entire properties
of the Tennessee Central has been
received with tremendous interest
here, as it means that Nashville will
be the gamer thereby of a great COM
peting trunk line of railroad, one OF
the most powerful in the country. II
means much also for all towns through
which the Tennessee Central runs.
This disposition of the case of the
Tennessee Central will be hailed with
universal rejoicing by all concerned.
II means new era of railroad de-
velopment throughout the territory
involved.
