Patriotic Students

The college boys all over the country
are forming batallions of infantry and are
being drilled daily in military practice
and tactics by competent instructors.
Others are organizing the flying corps.

serve. The universities of the east are
devoting much time and thought to the
preparation of their young men for SER
vice in the event of an emergency.
The college students who are now drill
ling or who have had instruction at the
summer training camps, will be of much
value as subaltern officers of a large vol
unteer or CONSUMPTION army. The college
boys of the country are full of real Ameri-
can spirit, for university life cultivates
real Americanism, and if war comes the
student body of the country can be de-
pended upon to do their full share in
shouldering its burdens and its RESPONSE

How the Draft Works

Now that the CONSUMPTION bill has been
passed, the War Department will begin
al once to make preparations for raising
an army that will ultimately reach two
millions OF men.
On the day set every young man af-
fected by the selective draft bill will be
required under pain of heavy penalty
to present himself at the nearest regstra-
ton place where those subject to the pro-
visions of the proposed draft will BY.
classified and the exempt eliminated.
When the rolls of those who are liable
for service has been completed, the task
of selecting the first increment of five
hundred thousand men will be begun.
1t has been suggested that this be done
by jury wheel The first men whose
names are drawn would, under that
plan, go with the first half million to be
called out for training in the next few
months. The second contingent drawn
would go with the second increment to
be called six months later, the third with
the increment with duty a year off; the
fourth with the fourth increment and so
on.
Meanwhile the work of building the
cantonments will go forward. Regular
troops and National Guardsmen will be
assigned to them with each arm OF the
service so represented as to provide the
framework of a complete army division
at each point. The Guardsmen will be
selected from the territory covered by the
training district so far as possible.
Meanwhile both the regulars and Guards
men will continue recruiting to war
strength.
With the new regiments assembled, a
rigorous course of training will be under.
taken. The officers training camps to
be established within few days in each
district will at the end of three months.
begin to pour new officers into this or
ganization, and the en- listed men selected
from the ranks OF the regulars for com
missions will be given special instructions
to fit them to command. Until the army
OF young men presents itself at the camps
in August or September the regulars and
Guardsmen also will pursue vigorous
course of training.
The plans call tor the transfer to the
first 100000 men obtained by conscrip-
ton of from 10000 to 100000 non.
commissioned officers trained in the
regular and National Guard regiments.
1t is here that the opportunity lies for
men who volunteer now as enlisted men
10 the ranks of the two services. On
them, War Department officials believe,
even to a greater extent than upon the
commissioned officers will depend the ef-
ficiency of the new armies.
The backbone of any military orgaui-
cation is its non-commissioned force, and
in the months that precede the calling
out of the first 100000, officers of the
General staff hope there will be found in
the ranks of the regulars and guardsmen
so many men competent for these posi-
tions that the future of the later armies
will be assured.

On a field swept by fitful wind, the

Sox swung into action today in the
fifth engagement Of the worlds series.
Some thirty thousand spectators saw
the same.
McCraw sent Sallee in to hurl, and
Eariden behind the plate. Rowland
sent in Red Russell and Schalk, but
the first inning was young when the
Giants drove Russell to the bench and
Cicotte went to his relief.
Chicago pounded Sallee out of the
box in the seventh inning by making
three runs, which tied the score. Per?
ritt, who next pitched for the Giants,
was treated just as badly in the
eighth, Chicago has now now wen
three games and New York two. The
rext game will be played in Chicago
Sunday afternoon. If there is sew
