France. Many American civilians in
France have made application to en-

Canadian armies, except for work in

Still a Chance to Enlist.

Any young man who really wants to
serve his country can still volunteer,
even though he may be drafted by yes
terday's proceeding at the Capitol. Up
to the moment that he receives his noti-
fcation by mail that he is in the first
lot summoned, he can enlist in any

We Must Build Ships.

Even though the number Of submarine
victims weekly Is much lower than in the
earlier stage Of the campaign Of ruth

ground for believing that greater prog
ross 10 being made In combating the
U-boat menace, the fact remains that
more ships are being sunk than are be-
ing built, and 1t is most urgently i'm
portant that this country move at the
topmost possible speed to put afoat yes
sells that will carry earsoes to replace
the victims of the German destroyers.
A calculation presents the startling
fact that four ships are sunk by the
submarines for every vessel now being
built. This offers simple problem in
arithmetic. How long can the shipping
last at this rate of net distinctions And
can Germany hold out on land until
the shipping Of the allied nations is
reduced to the point at which it is in
capable Of supplying the people of Eng.
land, France and Italy with necessities
Of life and the allied armies with mu-
nitionsf
A ship cannot be built in few weeks

not merely Of keeping up the supply at

every energy should be expended, and
no personal friction between officials, no
obstinate insistence upon theories, no
standing upon form or e1actions Of the
last inch Of red tape should be toler-
ated while this grave emergency exists

their customers. It is the latter who
determine these things finally. By shop
ping early in the day and early in the

eral purchasing public can help to make
the Saturday half-holiday even more
general. Merchants generally recognize
the increased efficiency caused by this

their employees only IL the public will
help them to do their business in five

Great Britain, Germany and Japan

by simply changing the character Of

They are resourceful to the last degree.

continue after the new conditions Inn
posed by the war have begun to operate.
A full dinner pail at reasonable prices
will always be a just demand of labor
in this country, and must always be

Quick Work on the Draft.

Apart from the last-minute change of
plan necessitated by the mistake made
in New Jersey in the numbering of the
registrants, the national draft yester-
day worked out with remarkable smooth
ness, and, considering the magnitude of
the task, in excellent time. 1t was
requisite that the entire list of numbers
be exhausted at one sitting, else tho
country would have been kept in sus-
pense. For although the numbers
drawn early suficed to fill the quota
Of $4,000 men, it was important that
every other registraht should know his
place ON the roll without delay.
To notify the entire country, as far
as telegraph and telephone can reach,
Of the numbers and consequently the
names Of those selected by chance for
examination for the first draft of men.
within few minutes Of the taking of
the numbers from the bowl in this city
yesterday was great bit Of work along
the line Of American efficiency and or
ganization. By nightfall probably 95
per cent Of the men drafted for the
first quota knew Of their selection.
The preliminary process Of registration
and organizing the exemption boards
occupied several weeks, in order to as
sure a perfect system, but the draft It,
self went off quickly and without hitch,
and now the national army Is about to
be organized.
