WHY THEY DON'T ENLIST.

Surprise is expressed that Vir-
ginia young men are so reluctant in
answering the call for volunteers for
the army and navy. Our Richmond
correspondent offers an explanation
which seems plausible. He says il
is question largely of salary, not
due. however, to want of patriot
ism.
The article, published in another
column of this issue, will pay ne
rusal. A young man was asked bv
the writer few days ego, in this
office, why he did not enlist, and he
gave his reason about as follows:
Il don't understand this war business.
| see no war. We have no war in ON,
country, and they tell us that we are
not going to have any. No troops
are called to go to Europe, and |
don't see what they want with half
n million soldiers in this country if
we are not expected or needed to do
any fighting. Everybody says the
war is bound to end soon, and when
1t ends there will be no possibility
OF any future wars for generations.
they tells us. If there was an inva-
SION of our coasts, and an enemy
should try to land an army any
where, east or west, would enlist
Mt once, but don't see where | am
needed, or what the object can be, of
collecting an immense army. If /
should enlist" he went on, 81 should
have to leave my work, and until
there is some dcfinIto call or pro-
gram / shall not enlist"
Perhaps this young man voiced
the sentiments of n largo number of
young men throughout the country.
In the civil war the case was entire
ly different. Actual invasion and
marching armies were here in sight.
The enemy was at the door, and men
volunteered i'll great throngs to do
actual fighting. In this war, there
is no enemy within thousands of
miles of our shores and tho war and
fighting feeling has not struck in.
If the army authorities" said our
young friend, twill be more definite.
and tell us what's what, we will
know better what to do. Don't Won
think l am right"

than has been seen here since the
beginning Of the var. The streets
rung with cheers. Everybody stopp-
ed going and coming, and watched
the little line pass by, until shortly
it wasn't little line any longer,
and it seemed that the whole city
was following these boys who had
volunteered themselves in the service
of n native land they had not seen
for years and years.
The band played the national airs,
over and over again as the process
sion moved up the street. The crowd
cheered continually, and "The Star
Spangled Banner" echoed through
the streets and around the buildings.
"My Country 'Tis Of Thee" broke
out land suddenly the music changed.
In moment the cheers ceased. The
laughs stopped. And the whole crowd
found themselves marching uptown
to "Onward, Christian Soldiers" and
it was n beautiful thing. The crowd
picked it up and soon from hundreds
of voices rang the strains of this
English gospel hymn. Then it chang
ed again, and GLOW Firm n Foun-
dation" stirred the large crowd until
the whole body was singing it and
keeping time. After this the band
broke into "God Save the King" and
the boys in the Gear of honor" stood
up and sang this alone.
When the train came there wasn't
any sadness. Their mothers, sisters,
and other relatives bade them good
bye with smile, and nobody wept. 1t
was different from the idea people
have about sending boys away to war.
1t was much different from the ma
ture of patriotism we have seen dis
played here during the last month
OF so.
Food Situation.
Of as much interest as ANYTHING
else, is the food situation and the
impending scarcity in the necessi-
ties of life. Meetings are being held
everywhere, urging people TO cult
vate their back yards and grow
something to eat. Organizations have
been formed for the purpose of in
structing the people in the best way
of utilizing the waste places of the
city, and numerous bodies have been
sent to Washington to confer with
government officials there on the
question of conservation of national
resources. With -four at fifteen dol
lars barrel, and potatoes at four
dollars bushel, families here are in
danger of suffering during the COM
ing winter unless relief is given.

CARNIVAL BAND
MUST STAY AWAY
Towns Ordinances Forbid limo
cent Music to Be Made OH
the Streets-PeOple Demand
That Ubiquitous Law BE AT
Once Modified or Repealed.

The Town authorities and the Veal
Carnival Company, now showing Mt
North Tazewell, locked horns here
Tuesday through misunderstand-
ing by the carnival company of the
ordinances of the town in reference
to bands playing OH the streets of the
town. The band was forbidden by
the Mayor to play on the streets on
Monday afternoon, but in spite of this
refusal the band accepted an invita-
ton from Mr.. Wittcn, OF the New
Theatre, and played several pieces of
music in the lobby of the theatre on
Tuesday afternoon. AS soon as Ser
geant Thompson heard the music he
arrested the leader of the band and
brought him before the Mayor for
trial. 1t was plainly violation of
the city ordinance and the usual fine
of $50 was assessed against the car
nival. 1t is understood that $4,000
of the amount was refunded and an
effort is being made to have tho town
refund the other $40 collected. The
ordinance under which the fine was
imposed was passed several years
ago for n specific purpose-to pre-
vent the town being put to heavy en-
pense in policing and preserving or
der at carnivals which were dispos-
cd to dodge the town license by pitch
ing their tcnst just outside the cor
porate limits, and causing the town
authorities no little expense and an
noyancc. This was during the days
when whiskey flowed freely here, and
much disorder prevailed and fighting
was not uncommon.
1t seems to be now almost the unan-
imous opinion of the people of the
town and community that we have
no further use for such an ordinance
and it should be repealed ut once.
No harm can come to the people of
Tazewell and it's youth will not be
corrupted by little innocent band
music. Let the band play and those
who don't want to hear it needn't lis
ten.
The Veal Carnival has been show
ing at North Tazcwell all the week
to large crowds, and SO far rs known,
have given Il high class show in every
particular. The tents have been
pitched OH the property of the Nor
folk & Western just west of the de-
pot. The street car track has been
taken up some distance and passen-
gers going to and from the trains are
compelled to walk some distance to
the station.
