GERMAN

In the semioffcial Cologne Gazette
there is a ~typically cool proposal thai
the young Huns now in captivity in
various enemy countries should be
either repatriated or given facilities
TO continue their Interrupted studiesin
enemy colleges or universities. The
article laments that these budding
flowers on the r e OF "Kultur' should
be condemned to wither in endless
months and year Of intellectual in
activity, at the very time their won
derful Teutonic brains are at their
best. If they can be r%epatriated, the
Cologne Gazette thinks satisfying
guarantees could be given to enemy
governments that the prisoners in
question would devote themselves
exclusively to study in Germany

vHE A

Provost Marshal Crowder is right
in his statement that The se.ectiye
draft is the only correct system for
raising a great army in emergencies
and that the volunteer system is not
only obsolete, but will never be re-
sorted to again in case we are ever
called upon to raise an army in the
future.
OF course it is TO be hoped thai
that we will never nave another war,
Tor it is a dream we have that this
win be the last one" This theory
can be combatied by a little devotion
10 the fundamental fact that as long
as there are human passions OF all
kinds they viii be manifesto ed in gov
eminent and in strife between one
nation and another because, after all
natios are but orgaized bodies of
human beings.
At the present time, however, we
are engaged in the organization OF an
immense army TO at least postpone
future wars for centuries. Our part
is to aid in the crushing of a sys-
TEN. an idea, which has reached its
highest development in Prussia, and
this idea is the one OF world dom
nation and rule by might. While
this task is unfinished the practical
way to accomplish it must be the
one to be adopted and the selective
draft is not only the quickest and
most equitable way, but at the same
time, is tae most democratic.
we believe that the next draft, the
one to be made within a few weeks
will be the last one made upon the
young men OF the nation. The gov
eminent may from time to time draft
men for industries of all kinds, bu
the general opinion is that our par
in human beings will not be over TIVE
million men, which can be raised j
necessary from those already regis
tered. Congress may be asked U
pass a law providing for the regis
tration Of those who have reache.
their majority since the last registra
ton, or a law may be passed embraC
ing the youth OF the country the max
imum age being nineteen years.
1t seems that man power is not tn
most essential thing for the Allie
at this time, but munitions, food an
better transportation systems i
France. We are going to supply a
| these and men, too, but there is
lurking hope that as a nation we wi
never be compelled again to resol
to the draft system, which is abor
J to remove more men from the
! homes to play leading roles in tn
: most momentous tragedy in the hi
tory of the world.-Charleston q

ITALY's RECOVERY.

The strong resistance OF the ltal-
ian armies to the pressure of the
Teuion forces along the Piaye and in
the Brenta valley is q magnificent
example of pure courage, Only a
few days ago the Italians were VIC
lently thrown back, with sections OF
their organization demoralized, and
with every prospect that they could
not recover and hold their ground at
any place north of Venice. The enc
my was apparently moving as swiftly
toward Venice as Won Kluck moved
toward Paris in 1914.
In the very act of falling back, the
Italians regained control Of them
selves, established good positions
along the west bank of the Piaye and
in the mountains and there sent the
word along. They shall not pass."
While France and England hurried
~ arranged TO send reinforcements,
Italy stood resolved to die rather than
give ground. Within a few days she
actually assumed the offensive in sey-
eral places and thrust the Germans
and Austrians back from menacing po-
sitions. Enemy forces attempting 70
cross the Piaye were shot down and
drowned. And 50 the line stands.
while the allied forces are rushing to
the rescue.

CONGRESSMAN URGE
SHIPS AIRCRAFT
MUST INSURE SOLDIERS FOOD
AND WAR MAY LAST FOR
YEARS, DECLARE SOME.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-Amer!ca
must build ships and airships By the
thousands to win the war, Is the zig
message that Representative Edward
D. Taylor, OF Colorado, speaking for
the group OF congressman who went
to the war front in Europe, brings
back to the American people. The
first members Of this congressional
party have just returned to Washing
ton.
Taat the spirit and morale Of the
American soldiers who are already
over there" is superb and that it
must be kept so is the second great
consideration which Representative
Taylor makes. The American sol
diers are not receiving their mail and
Mr.. Taylor says that the members
OF Congress are going to find out why.
he says that one engineer whose wife
has written to him every day since
May Is mas received only two of
these letters. The members Of the
congressional delegation, he says, are
going to see to it that the men who
go Gro seas will be kept in touch
with home, as this is the only way
by which their spirit and morale can
be kept at Inc high standard they are
now.
