hind barbed wire that they would not
think now of doing otherwise, If 1t
can be avoided. Most of the digging
appears to have been done by prison
ers of war, As the German lines fat
back the diggers also fall back, to con-
struct still more trenches
Under this plan, of course, 1t would
be possible to drive back the Germans
to the Rhine, and they could still say
the line was unbroken. MeanW while the
Germans are employing more machine
guns than ever before in their attempt
TO hold up the British infantry ad-
vances.
Machine guns are being used largely
in the defense of Lens.
Although the weather continues
atrocious, the airplanes daily carry on
the important work Of serving as the
eyes" of the army. without the loyal
cooperation of the planes progress
would virtually be impossible.
Two airmen had new experience
yesterday. They were forced to land
within the German lines southeast of
Lens, neither the pilot nor the OBJ
server being injured. Realizing their
position they salved two machine guns
from the wrecked plane and drove off
two. German patrols which attacked
them. They held the ground until
nightfall, when eventually they re-
turned safely TO their own lines.

Washington, April lS.-The lines
were drawn today for a great fight
between the administration and op-
ponents in the house of the plan 70
raise the war army by selectiVe draft
While President Wilson was at the
capitol telling senator's and repre-
sentatives that no compromise be-
tween the volunteer and draft systems
could be accepted with safety to the
nation, the house military committee,
by vote of IL to s, adopted amend
ments to the administration bill au-
thorizing calls for volunteers in incre-
ments of 100000 and providing that
the draft shall be applied only in the
event the president decides that the
force needed cannot be raised and
maintained under the volunteer plan
Chairman Dent headed the anti
draft forces and will introduce the
amended bill in the house tomorrow
with a view to pressing 1T for passage
Monday. Representative Kahn OF
California, ranking republican mem"
ber of the committee, Will join IN lead
ing the fight on the floor for the ad-
ministration.
The senate committee formally
voted, 10 to T. to report virtually with
but change the bin as originally draft
ed by the general staff and approved
by the president, and will present II
tomorrow. The measure may be
passed by the senate without awaiting
faction in tho house.
= VIII .-pDeal tG People.
The president made very plain tc
those with whom he talked his deter
mination to have the staff bill en-
acted There seems no doubt that he
will appeal directly to the country il
necessary, and tell the people that in
the opinion of the military advisers OF
the government, as well as admins
tration officials. national, safety de-
ntands that the war armylbe provided
under the plans prepared by the army
experts after long study.
The war department holds tha
every weakness of the volunteer sys
tenn would be perpetuated under th'
house committees scheme. A feature
of the amendments providing for thu
selection of officers from local units
is regarded by officers as particular!
obnoxious to sound military principles
They say the task of providing com
petent officers under this restriction
| would be rendered ten times more diff
ficult and the efficiency of the arm!
to be built greatly reduced from thu
very start. The president thinks tina
full opportunity for volunteers is of
fered under the staff bill since there
will be room for 724,000 volunteer en-
listments in the regular army and ma
tional guard for the duration of th'
! war. In addition, the door is open t.
men who are qualified to become of
fiCers.

Future of Democracy.

futu1t OI bCHlOtiucN.
America sees in this clear issue
something of wider import than the
vicisstudes of the battle fields, or even
of Encouragement of the map of Eu-
rope on the basis of nationality. The
whole future of civilized government
and intercourse. in particular, the for
tunes and faith of democracy, have
been brought into peril. In such a
situation aloofness is seen to be not
only a blunder, but crime. To stand
aside with stopped ears, with folded
arms, with aVerted gaze when you
have the power to intervene is to be-
come not a mere spectator but an ac-
complice. There was never in the
minds of any of us a fear that the
moment the issue became apparent
and unmistakeable the voice of Amer
lea would not be heard. She has now
dedicated herself without hesitation
or reserve, heart and soul and strength
to the greatest of causes, to which
stimulated and fortified by her COM
radeship, we here renew our fealty
and devotion.

he said. The full meaning of the
entry of America into the struggle is
difficult to describe. 1t is not like
the entrance of the other allies, but
has a more mighty significance to the
whole civilized world. 1t was a breach

tury, a tradition adhered to with
vehemence and passion, of the prin-
cipals laid down by Washington that
the country keep clear of entangling
alliances.

question In recent years. the advan-

at uniform depth, giving each kernel
the proper spacing for It's best growth.
