Lists of Honor

Mayor Mitchell did we'll to issue his proc
lamation calling for patriotic celebration
Of registration day, June 5, when the first
step toward organizing our new citizen
army will be taken. President Wilson had
already defined the nature Of the occasion
as "a great day of patriotic devotion and
obligation Those who registered, he de-
clared, would write their names on lists
Of honor"
That is the truth. The idea of universal
service, of whole nations volunteering
and of the selection from that mass of
those best fitted and best spared for the
actual task of fighting, is new to the
American mind. In the Civil War the
draft was used in very different fashion
and for an utterly different reason. Then
it came as last resort, to round up the
slackers, after a long and laundering trial
of the volunteer system. To-day we are
using CONSUMPTION at the outset Of our
fight, simply because by no other means
can modern warfare, with all its complex
ties of manufacture and provisioning, be
efficiently organized. Even if the volun-
teer system would produce enough men we
could not rely upon it to produce the right
men.
We are proud of our present day volun'
teers, the men with special capacity for
some particular branch of warfare, by
land or sea, who have stepped forwird to
form our vanguard. But we shall be not
less proud of those Americans who now
willingly answer the call and set down
their names. 1t is new and splendid
spirit that they represent, and their enrol
ment marks the dawning of new and
brighter future for Americans living and
to be born.

A Question Of Good Fortune

The trying effect of war on mems nerves
is manifested in sundry ways and in none
more strikingly than in a certain abnormal
sensibility exhibited by many of them
whenever nice point of humanity comes
up for discussion. Mr.. Hall Game and
some others were notable examples in the
recent controversy on the policy of re-
prisals. 1t was not merely that they APP
proved of the policy, but that they were so
profoundly shocked at all who disagreed
with them. They apparently took the good
results for granted and were blind through
out to the real point of difference between
the disputants.
A more remarkable example of this same
loneliness was shown after the recent de-
stroyer action in the Channel. The Adj
miralty announcement of the fight closed
with the words: 1--WE were fortunate in

CITY Profits for Country Use

Mayor MitchePs opposition to the bill
which would empower the telephone COM
pany, in deciding rates and charges for
any locality. to take into consideration the
return on all its property in the state is
well founded II is TO be hoped Governor
Whitman will veto the bill, as the Mayor
requests.
This is measure, in effect to make the
profits of the telephone service in cities,
where returns are large, pay for service in
small communities and rural districts,
where returns are small and the cost of es-
tablishing and maintaining lines is large.
Still more, it is a proposal so TO lump re-
turns for the state and costs for the state
that there would be slight chance of reduc-
ton Of rates in cities. As the Mayor
shrewdly points out, il is an application to
corporation financing Of the principle of
state taxation by which this city pays
more than two-thirds Of the cost Of run
ming the state. But where that is permits
sible in state financing, il seems neither
necessary nor right in respect of telephone
company costs and charges.
This community rolls up enormous rev.
snues for the telephone company, yet it
had to fight long 70 obtain the recent re-
duction in rates. If the bill in question

The Desire for Martyrdom

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: With reference to the recent anti
draft riots in Cleveland and Chicago, may
venture suggestion?
The publicity which these meetings and
other pacifst demonstrations have obtained
is largely due to the fact that efforts have
been made to suppress them. II the police did
not attempt to break them up they would not
be heard of outside the immediate neighbor-
hood.
Moreover, some people with a chronic de-
sire for persecution find an incentive to join
the movement in the fact that they may pose
martyrs.
Would II not be wiser TO leave these meet
ngs entirely unmolested and thus remove
both the publicity and the martyrdom, and
incidentally retain what pacfst and mlitaris'
alike vaue-our right TO free assembly and
free speech SYDNEY THOMPSON.

The Dawes Family
New York. May %, 1917.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As Mr.. Leonard says, our school his
tories ought to be rewritten.
Longfelow in writing of Paul Revere,
took the incident of two messengers, Will
lam Dawes and Paul Revere, carrying the
message that the British had moved out
from BOSTON Their destination was Con-
cord. where were stored some patriot sup
plies. Paul Revere rode TO Lincoln, ten or
twelve miles; William Dawes rode to Con-
cord seventeen miles, where the message
was most needed. DR.. Prescott took the
message to Groton, eighteen miles further.
OF course William Dawes's name is not so
euphonic as that of Paul Revere so the
name of the latter was substituted by the
poet
To-day there sailed for France two young
men, Beman Gates Dawes, jr., and William
Mills Dawes for service in the American
Ambulance Corps at the front They are both
lineal descendants of the William Dawes
who carried the message to Concord. They
tried to enlist in the army, but were rejected
by the medical examiners. A third descen-
dant of William Dawes is Charles Gates
Dawes uncle OF the two young mem who is
president of the Central Trust Company OF
Chicago and former Controller of the
Currency. This mornings papers bring the
news that he has accepted a commission as
lieutenant colonel in the 18th Regiment oil
Engineers and is leaving Chicago for At
lanta on his way for immediate service in
France.
Truly, the spirit of william Dawes still
survives in his descendants of this genera
ton. I. a. II.
