MARRIED MEN MAY
NOT BE DRAFTED

The announcement in press dis.
patches today, to the effect that
married men may be spared in the
selective draft, created considerable
interest here today. The article in
question reads in part:
Trenton, N. ]. July 26.-Accord.
ing to the Interpretation placed by
the military authorities here on a
letter just received from Provost
Marshal General Crowder in reply to
inquiries, drafted men who have
married, or who shall marry before
they are called for examination,
will not haye to serve in the army,
if their brides are dependent upon
them.
The impression has heretofore
prevailed that marriage after June
5 Of men subject to draft would be
regarded as ar attempt to evade the
selective service act and would not
be recognized as a bona fide claim.
The following paragraph Of the Pro-
vost Marshal's letter, military .au-
thorities here say, seems to upset
this impression and to establish a
reverse ruling:
I'm reference to marriage after
June 5, 1917, it would seem in like
manner that the claim of discharge
because Of dependency should be
determined at the date Of the call
ing. If the person called is then .
married man and has,a wife at that
time depending upon his labor in the
sense in which that term is used
in the rules and regulations, it
would seem that he could be dis
charged from the service, if in the
opinion of the board, the claim is
uDstantlated.D &g 4@ 20

Alliance Not Necessary

MIR. BALFOUR does simple justice to the
AFA american people when he expresses full
confidence in their determination ito throw
| themselves into the greatest conflict which
has ever been waged in this world" No
formal alliance is necessary, nor any explicit
declaration that America will not make a
separate peace. The gracious words in which
the head of the British commission disavows
every thought of such unions gratifying
to us all. aud no less gratifying because they
betray accurate acquaintance with the
facts.
In his memorable address to the Congress.
President Wilson stated once for all the war
aims which animate and inspire this nation.
I'VE are but one he said, of the champions
of the rights of mankind. We shall be salts
fed when those rights have been made
secure as the faith and the freedom OF the
nations can make them" And in an earlier
part Of the same address referring to the
German autocracy, he said this: I'VE are
accepting this challenge Of hostile purpose
because we know that in such a government,
following such methods. can never have
FRIEND and that in the presence of its
organized power, always lying in wait to
accomplish we know not what purpose. there
can be no assured security for the democratic
governments of the world"
That. then, is the mission on which the
United States has entered. When this reso-
lutte determination, to free the people of Ger
from the menace and the oppression of the
Hohenzollerns, has been crowned with sue
cess. then. and not till then. may the United
States think Of peace. Short OF the attain
ment OF this ambition, we shall not sheat the
the sword. and, this ambition attained, every
blade now lifted against The enemy of man
kind may, and should, be hammered into the
plowshare OF peace. The purpose we have
proclaimed is that of the entente allies; their
detectives and ideals are those we have an
nounced to the world.
Formal alliances with European nations are
not In our tradition, and the methods OF our
government. including the necessary concur
renee OF two-thirds Of the Senate in the terms
of every treaty, would render such alliances
difficult-perhap mpossible-even II they
were thought to be desirable They are not
necessary. Our own safety. as we'll as our
own honor, compels our rigid adherence TO
the policy of destroying German autocracy.
Only the other day. Dr. Lohmann. one Of the
leaders OF German thought declared the Mon
roe Doctrine had been abandoned by America
and that, in conjunction with Britain, we had
entered upon career OF world conquest
This foolish. but the war has shown that
the German people can he induced to believe
good many foolish things. There Is no
question they have to feel for America
a bitter and passionate hatred. So long as
autocracy controls their Wills and guides their
deStinies. America must be triply armed for
defense.
We in this war to the end and Mr.
Balfour showed acute understanding, as we'll
generous appreciation, in his recognition Of
this fact No treaty. no alliance, no compact,
formal or informal, could increase our deter
mination TO see the war through.

Prison Labor on the Farm

pRlSON labor so far is possible, should

y1cts on the roads. but there are many thou

Legislation perhaps. will be necessary be-
fore this change IN prison methods can be

An elaborate system Of control would have

that many prisoners, incapable Of doing hard
work on the roads, yet could be emploved
With profit in various forms OF farm labor
Might not the Penitentiary Board and the

Elihu Root to Represent America

"a was foreseen. Elihu Root has accepted
~ the Presidents appointment and Will
head the American mission to Russia. Mr..
Roots acceptance is highly gratifying not
only because it betokens the sort OF coalition
which he urged weeks ago, but because it
insures the ablest possible performance of an
Infinitely important task. In addition to an
extraordinary mind, finely trained, Mr.. Root
is equipped with knowledge Of diplomacy
and statecraft gained by long experience.
which Is made even more useful by his cool
balance. America could not be better repre-
sentcd in troubled Russia than by Elihu Root.
