hackers to make the bond program

Uncle Sam. is to be made as general
as liability to military service. Just
as any man with physical qualifica-
tions may serve the country. so may
any man with s. to invest, do his bit.
This is in line with theories ad-
vanced by Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo, and it is expected to over
come objections on the floor of the
House when the bill is called up next
Tuesday.
Secretary McAdoo has described the

Secretary McAdoo may, II he deems

Second Liberty Loan of 1917. Thi.
means there will be $50 and 800 bonds

Uncle Sam within the reach of mod

To get rid of prejudice. the commit

ness of the financier. If the House
grasps the popularity idea empha-
sized by the Ways and Means Com
mittee, its members believe the bill

TO have a Christmas remembrance
from home" Red Cross officials
have lust completed plans for the
CHRISTMAS cheer and arrangements
will be worked out Immediately.
Plans for the largest troop move
ment ever scheduled in the history
OF this country are now being per-
tected by the American Railway As
sociation at the request of the United
states Government. Altogether, 6S7, 900
men will have to be transported to
the various cantonments that the
Government is building to house the
new National Army. The movement
will start September 5. Between that
date and September Q the railroads
will complete the entrainment of
10000 men, or approximately 80 per
cent of the total number scheduled
to be moved to the various training
camps.
1t is expected that a second move
ment of approximately 10000 men
will begin on September 10, continu-
ing for four days thereafter, and a
third movement of the same size on
October ..
Some conception of the ma agnitude
of the task confronting the American
Railway Associationin preparing sched-
ules that will assure the safe and
prompt transportation OF these armies
without interfering with regular traf-
fic may be CLEANED from the fact that
to move merely one field army of
$1,000 men requires 6.229 cars made up
into 1856 trains, with as many locomo-
tives and train crews.
Meanwhile, in addition to moving
the 6S1 900 recruits for the Nation
al Army. the railroads have been
asked to supply transportation for
the $4,000 members of the National
Guard to their training camps. The
National Guard movement has al
ready started and will continue in
increasing volume until all have been
moved.
The military authorities continue to
give their attention to the recon-
mendations of Gen. Pershing, in re-
gard to the changes in army uniforms
necessary on account of the service
in the trenches in France. AS has
been stated in these columns, 1t has
been decided to shorten to knee length

boots worn with moccasin. and to is
sue a skull cap to be worn under the
helmet. 1t has not been decided fully
to adopt the spiral puttee of woolen
material, which Is regarded by Gen.
Pershing as more satisfactory than
the canvas or leather leggin, which.
lie finds by observation. fails to keep
out the mud and water encountered
in the trenches. The objection to the
spiral puttee comes from the difficulty
of most enlisted men in properly wrap
ping the article, which is apt to be
too tightly worn around the leg, re-
sulting in interference with the Cir
culation and leading, of course. to an
noyance and often to more serious
trouble. 1t has been decided that there
shall be taken to France only woolen
garments, the outer apparel and the
underwear, including woolen socks, as
the garb to be worn the year around

The Canadian Draft.

After a bitter struggle. Canada
has finally obtained a conscription
law. and it is radically different from
that adopted in the United States.
In many respects it is better. For
instance, it subordinates the lottery
element and makes "selective con-
scription" mean more than it does
on this side of the border.
The act creates six classes. in the
order in which they are subject to
call:
Glass 1-Those who have attained
the age of 90 years and were born
not earlier than 1883. and are un-
married or are widowers. without
children.
Glass 2-Those who have attained
the age of 20 years and were born
not earlier than 1883, and are mar
ried or are widowers, who have
children.
Glass 3-Those who were born in
the years 1876 to 1882, both in
elusive, and are unmarried or are
widowers who have no children.
Class 4-Those who are born in
the years 1876 to 1882. and are mar
ried or are widowers who have chill
dren.
Glass 5-Those who were born
in the years 1872 to 1875. and are
married or are widowers who have
no children.
Glass 6-Those who were born in
the years 1872 to 1875. and are mar
ried or are widowers who have chill
dren.
Here is conscription on a strictly
"selective" or logical basis. OF
course, in the United States there
are no fixed classes according to
age or to condition.; there are ex-
emptions and discharges granted in
accordance with rules which have
had the approval of the President.
The President has approved the gen.
eral policy. single men first" but
nowhere do we find such a clear.
out-and-out acceptance of this doc
trine as in the Canadian draft law,
which leaves nothing to discretion
or chance.
We have now created, or are about
to create, the first increment of our
national army. 1t is a small incre-
ment, in comparison to the human
resources of the nation; our actual
man power has hardly been called
upon. II it were not for the insu-
perable difficulties of shipping, the
nation would be thinking of putting
two or three millions in the field
by next summer, instead of one, or
the fraction of one.
The campaign OF 1918 should be
the decisive one, and the end of the
war should be in sight by this time
next year-if not before. II it
should not, however. and the Amer
ican government is compelled to call
out many more increments of its
new conscript army. it might be an
excellent idea to remodel the rules
of the draft on the basis that the
Canadians have adopted.

The German Reaction to the Presi-
dents RepIy.

1t was inevitable that the first
flush OF German comment on the
Presidents answer. to Pope Bene-
dict should be one Of resentment.
that he should dare to dictate"
what form OF government the Ger
man people should have.
That pose has been assumed be-
fore. It is favorite strut Of the
reptile press. and 1t is being used
now by the ruling caste as a weapon
to keep public opinion in hand. The
Presidents note goes before the
German people with a footnote
added by Berlin: This presumptuous
ruler overseas has the effroptery to
tell you what form of government
you should have. Are you going to
stand for it?"
This sort OF manipulation is rap
idly losing its effectiveness in Ger
many, however; the hardships of
war are forcing the masses to think
for themselves. They have been
held in leading strings so long.
however. that the development Of a
genuine public opinion is an ex-
tremely difficult task. A Socialist
newspaper. Vorwaerts. has had
the courage to portray the Presi-
dents reply to Rome as it really
is, and to puncture the silly claims
OF the inspired press. This Is the
entering wedge; gradually the truth
will dawn upon the German mind,
and then the day OF reckoning will
not be far away.
From Rome comes news of Pope
Benedict's disappointment over the
attitude that the President has as
sumed. 1t Is hinted that further
efforts in the direction of peace will
be attempted. Their success or fail
ure will depend entirely upon the
central empires. There will be no
recession from the position that the
President has taken-and. in this
instance. the White House is speak
ing for all the nations leagued
against Germany. 1t is possible that
the reply OF President Wilson will
be accepted as the joint reply OF
the allies. as Lord Robert Cecil has
intinated.
Austria holds the key to the sit
uation, and when Vienna sees that
the moral bankruptcy of the war
lords OF Berlin is the single STUN
bling block in the path to peace.
Central Europe will be vibrant with
the thrill OF an impending breakup.
II is the common rumor of all cspi-
tails that Rome is acting primarily
on behalf of Austria-Hungary. The
Presidents reply has clearly in
timated the channel which Austrian
diplomacy must now. take II peace
is desired above all else.
That diplomacy must be an as
sertion of Austrian sovereignty. a
clear gesture showing that the en-
pire is not a mere appanage of Prus-
sian militarism. Hungary,
with nothing to gain and all to
lose, cannot be expected to follow
Germany into the abyss when a.
satisfactory peace is within her
grasp.

THE OPEN FORUM
NO DEGREES IN HELL.
Writer Criticises Sermon on Punish
ment After Death.

Edltor OF The Washington Herald:
l read in Mondays issue of YOUR
paper a brief report of a sermon
delivered Sunday evening. last, by
Rev. Henry ". Tiffany, of Louis
vile. KY. in Metropolitan Baptist
Church. this city, which appeals to
me as deserving of some adverse crit
icism, If it is correctly reported.
His logic does not appeal to be logi-
cally applied. Wherein he argues that
IF a father should punish all of his
children in the same way and to the
same degree without taking into ac-
count the different temptations to
which they were subjected, he would
be guilty of mortal error"
Well and good. but when he argues
that there are degrees of punish
ment in hell" he shoots wide of the
mark, according to the Bible records
A parent Furnishes his children for
their corrections; so. also, does God
punish his children for their correc-
ton, but none of this punishment for
correction is administered in hell,
neither are there any degrees of
punishment in hell. He'll is a place,
or state, where there is no work, nor
knowledge nor wisdom, nor device,
(Eccl. s:1O): And verse FIVE of this
same chapter states that the dead
know not anything" The Apostle
Paul says (Rom. 6:23) that the wages
of sin is death" Death is set forth
in the Scriptures as the antithesis Of
life. Some men have said that those
who go to hell "die the death that
never dies. 1t would be just as rea-
sonable to say that those who go to
heaven will live the life that never
lives. 1t may be asked IF there is
no conscious punishment in hell, when
and where and for what purpose will
sinners be punished?' The Scriptures
answer the question fully and clear

Before our nation enters a war it
is perfectly in order to discuss the
wisdom of going to war, but after
Congress has acted the discussion is
closed. After that no one should be
permitted to cloak attacks upon his
government or give aid to the enemy
under the claim that he is exercising
free speech" The foregoing from Mr..
Bryan's Commoner is labeled as deser-
tion by George Sylvester Viereck. 1t

PLEA FOR SOLDIERS.
Herald Correspondent Would Have
All Fighters Treated Alike.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Every man who shoulders arms and
goes to fight to uphold the honor of
this country deserves to be honored!
1t matters not whether he be a soldier
volunteered or a soldier drafted
he is entitled to be cheered by every
true American citizen who claims
My country. it's of three" etc.
1T is pretty generally noised around
by people. who perhaps are not very
well informed, that all OF the drafted
soldiers will be rushed to the front
and that the volunteered soldiers
will only be called upon to bring up
the rear after the drafted soldiers
will have been moved down by the
enemy. Such talk sounds too unjust
to receive even the slightest notice by
the wise heads OF our government: for,
while millions of soldiers who will
very soon go on the field to fight for
the preservation of this glorious old
country, the drafted soldiers should
share equally the treatment. cheers
diers. For the drafted men are the
ones. and the only ones, who have an
swered. Here am T. to their country's
call.
And why. then, should they be
treated like convicts who have been
tried and convicted for having COM
mitted some heinous crime? Even il
such an unjust plan was contemplated.
the American people would refuse to
tolerate its execution. For the SOL
dier drafted is entitled to just as
much honor. good treatment and cheer
as the soldier volunteered All go
upon the sea and battlefelds to fight
for one common cause-democracy and
liberty!
Draw. IL you will. line between
the children around your own freside,
and eventually there will be trouble
in that home. The ones less favored
will always have a grudge against the
parents; and they will seek an oppor-
tunity to get even with them for their
unjust partiality. Could any more or
less be expected of the soldiers who
are daily answering their country's
call to arms? Let US cheer both the
volunteer and drafted soldiers alike;
and bid them Godspeed in their
manly. brave and patriotic fervency
in keeping aloft Old Glory on the bat
tlefields of foreign lands. While they
are honoring the nation the nation
owes our soldier boys a warm recip-
rocation.
Let there be no difference in the
treatment of the brave defenders OF
this glorious old home of the brave"
Treat them kindly, and the nation will
have nothing to fear. Treat them
cruelty, as IL they were not human be-
ings, and there will be recorded on
the pages Of future history the dam
againg traits of other rArnolds-Arnolds
of your own making. 1t will be
wise, then, to treat all of our soldiers
with the same cordiality.
