plan of raising the new army by Sc
lective CONSUMPTION. There Is, however,
much to be said on both sides of the
question, and much is being said The
members of congress who are holding
out for the voluntary system are not
without friends. nor are they unwilling
or unable to defend their positions.
though 1t seems manifest that the advo-
Gates Of selecttve Consumption have
the better of the argument and are
gaining strength daily.
1t seems unfortunate that there
should be so much intolerance among
certain persons on either side of the
question. Some advocates of selective
CONSUMPTION seemingly are unwilling to
.concede patriotic motives of advocates
OF voluntary service, and some advo-
Gates OF voluntary service profess to
believe the conscriptionists are in a
conspiracy to saddle upon the nation a
military system as powerful as that
maintained by the kaiser himself.
The army stands as a unit behind the
general stan for seleotive CONSUMPTION,
and there are those who profess to be-
lieve that the army is aotuated by selfish
motives. and not influenced by an ex-
perience that has demonstrated that the
conscripted army is far superior to the
volunteer forces.
Since the new army is to be orfoered
by men trained in the civilian camps. 1t
is dif1cult to Sc wherein regular army
officers will profit whether the men are
chosen by selective CONSUMPTION or al
lowed to volunteer their services. There
are row scarcely enough regular army
officers to command the regular army,
recruited to its maximum war strength,
so IL can make no difference. so far as

But the regular army officers will be
held accountable by the people of the
nation for the success or failure of the
war, and the regular army officers are
convinced that voluntary service is not
conductive to efficiency, more especially

Carolina Gentleman Sees
Lofty Aim of u, S, in War

Clarence Cunningham, a South Caro-
lima gentleman and Princeton grad

woodrow Wilson was a freshman. is in
Atlanta this week attending the opera
Following his graduation at Prince

went to the University of Leipsic, in
Germany for three years, and after
wards studied for three years in France,
returning to America in 1881.
Forty years ago, when he was in Ger

already undergoing that marvellous pro-
cess of education and training and or
ganization which has enabled them to-
day to stand off ring of enemies and
sustain themselves by home production
while isolated from the world
II love the German people, for they
are a wonderful people; but I abhor and
despise the German emperor and all his
military CASTE" said Mr.. Cunningham
Wednesday, discussing his Impressions
of Germany, past and present
1.-THE Germans are the best educated
people in the world. They were that
when I was there as student many
years ago. and they have advanced i'm
measurably since. They are kindly,
obedient, thorough in all their undev-
takings.s
but they are dominated by the most
autocratic, the most ambitious, the most
ruthless and cruel government of mod
ern times. and until the spell of that
dominion is broken. until that power is
crushed, they can never come into their
own.
THAT is our high mission in this war,
to free the German people from the
slavery of their own government And
when they are freed they will take their
place beside the great democratic and
slf-governing nations Of the world, and
they will exhibit q wonderful genius for
governing themselves, for among them
are men who who will prove themselves
statesmen.
And into this undertaking we are led
by the greatest of all American presi-
dents, a man whose heart is in tune
with the heart of all humanity, a man
whose influence in the affairs OF ma
lions is destined to make this an era in
world history-the Wilson era"

ENTRANCE RECORDS
AT WINTHROP COLLEGE

Winthrop College now requires IA
units of high school work for ad-
mission, a unit representing one
study pursued for SO weeks with 5
reciatations of as minutes each a
week. The college admits condition
ally students who can present II
units; the other two units necessary
to make up the full Ia units must
be made up by the student during
her first two years at college. She
can make these up either by exam
nation or by taking extra classes
in college.
It may be of general interest to
state that of the 317 new students
for this session, 165 presented the
required fourteen units; Al of these
however, entering by certificate
from other colleges. There were
124 coming from State High Schools
with the required IA units. The
number of students entering condi-
tionally with less than IA units was
152.
Since units represent fair
years work in the high school, it
is expected that four-year high
school will be required to fit
students for unconditional entrance
to the college. After the majority
of high schools in the State become
four-year schools, the college ought
to be able to make an entrance re-
quirement of 16 units.
