roriEe Congress by threatening with
political ruin any senator or rcprscn-
tauve who opposed their selfish
scheme for the continuance of the an
tiquated system Of forty-eight little

The responsiveness of the Congress
to the will Of the people in this vital
matter is an encouraging sign. but IL
behooves the people to remember that
but for the militancy of the press In
voicing day by day the popular dc
mand, but for the thousands Of letters
and kilograms that poured in upon in
dividual senators and representatives
in the closing hours Of the fight, the
national service bill would have passed
by much smaller majorities in both
houses, and might not have passed
at all. Here as in other countries the
people are coming into the control of
their Government in its conduct of the
war. The fathers and mothers who
are giving their sons to every branch
of the nations service are beginning
to make their voices heard in the halls
of Congress. And who have better

A VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE

/ The first battle Of the German
American war has been fought and
won at Washington, not by the Amer
lean army or navy but by the Amer
lean people. The passage of the ma
tionaI service bill by votes of 1877 to "a
in the House and 81 10 s in the
Senate is victory Of the people, by
the people and for the people. Through
their press and public leaders in many
lines of endeavor, who risked popular
| ity and position to champion the cause
of equality of obligation, the appeal
for national service has been going
up to the President from every corner
. of the country for the last three years.
Finally the President was prevailed
upon, under pressure of public opinion
and in the face of imperative neces-
sity, to urge upon Congress the en-
bodiment Of the principle of national
service into a national statute.
When the fight for the General
Staff bill began few weeks ago the
President had but to raise the stand
ard of leadership to find and feel the
people of the nation behind him.
Many members of the Senate and
House of Representatives failed until
a few days before the final vote to
sense the sentiment Of their constit-
uents, and were disposed to doubt the
sincerity of the popular demand that
the new army be raised not by the
volunteer system but by democratic
draft made upon the rich and poor
alike, offering equal opportunity for
service with the colors to the native
born and the naturalized and requir-
ing of each equal obligation to respond
to that summons.
In the House the fight was fought to
a quick and triumphant finish by Re-
publicans and Democrats from every
State in the Union under spirited
and skilful leadership Of Jew born
in Germany, Republican from Cal
fornia-Representative julius Kahn of |
San Francisco, as red-blooded and as
level-headed an American as can De
found between the two oceans. New
England and the nation share the
Presidents debt of gratitude 10 this
patriotic congressman for the fine SER
vice he has rendered the country at q
critical moment in its history. In tbs
Senate Gentle born in Mississippi,
a Democrat from Oregon, Senator
George E. Chamberlain of Portland,
was the leader of the senators Of both
parties and of all sections who backed
the President in his fight for national
service, and the nation is no less the
debtor of the Oregon senator, who has
been an ardent advocate for several
years of the principle which the Gen
eral Staff bill applies. In the final
lineup the few who held out for the
volunteer system so vigorously COL
lemned by Washington and Jefferson,
and so repeatedly proven to be fail
are in every war we ever fought, were
with one or two exceptions the willing

immediate and also most welcome aid
that the w. G. T. L. or anyone could

roundings. All who would be willing
to share their familiar records may
well help in this way.

ELLA HOOVER TEACHER
VISITS IN MAINE

Mrs. Ella Hoover Thacher of Wash
ington, D. c., Supt. of the department
of Work among Soldiers and Sailors of
the National w. c. T. L., was the
guest of the Maine and New Hamp-
shire organizations July 30 and 81.
On Friday she addressed an en-
thusiastic and representative audience
in the North Church Parish House,
Portsmouth, N. H. Mrs. Ellen r.
Richardson, president of the New
Hampshire w. C. T. u, presided. Mrs.
Althea G. Quimby. president of the
Maine w. c. T. L. conducted the de-
votional service and spoke of the work
of the department in her state. Ex-
cellent music was furnished by the
Ladies' Quartet of Kittery, Mrs. Millie
d. Hobbs conductor.
Mrs. Thacher has visited all of the
naval training stations and ports of the
United States many times and is now
on trip East from Washington by
automobile. She spent two lays in
Newport; two days at Charleton and
in and around Boston. She has visited
and spoken on many of the receiving
ships in years past. In a most inter-
esting way she told many personal ex-
periences among the soldiers. At one
time, with the help Of Mrs. l.. NJ n.
Stevens, she fitted up a hospitality
room with chairs. tables, piano and
carpet. AS the boys came in, one be-
gan to walk around a table; after he
had gone around several times, Mrs.
Thacher said to him, What are you
doing?" To which the soldier boy re-
piled, walking on a carpet. Haven't
walked on one for three years."
At another station. in company with
Miss Anna Gordon. she noticed a sad
faced boy who looked i'll. She asked
the chaplain what she could do for the
lad and learned that the boy was want
ing some fruit. She went to a store
and purchased a big box of fruit and
ordered it sent to the soldier. She af-
forwards learned that the boy put the
box in the car of the chaplain. Eating
some of the fruit each day. he took
courage and began to recuperate and
finally got well. She also learned that
by this simple act of kindness she had
prevented probable desertion.
Mrs. Thatcher, through her depart
ment has done a great deal to
ameliorate the moral conditions sur
rounding the camps. In many in
stances young men have been led to
Christ through the influence of the ".
