for the national defense than can be
modified under the present law.
1t is estimated the first two drafts
will call 1,374,000 men to the colors.
European experience shows that
three men are required in reserve
for every man iii the trenches. To
furnish the necessary reserve force
for the new army, therefore, we shall
have to augment the first two drafts
with nearly 100000 men. But army
authorities are Of the opinion that
only 100000 will be obtained un-
der the present law because Of the
large number Of exemptions for one
cause or another.
There is a simple remedy for this
condition. It would not be necessary
if serious omission had not been
made in the draft law. That omis-
sion was the failure to provide for
the registration of men reaching the
age of 21 after the registration day,
June 5. The remedy, Of course, con-
sists in amending the law to provide
for such a registration-say on June
5, 1918. In this registration the
men from 10 to 81 inclusive, might
properly be enrolled, with the proviso
that they would not be called for SER
vice till they reached 81.
The Civil war was fought mostly
by young, unmarried men. The fig
ures show that more than 100000
men ranged in ages from 15 to 81,
inclusive, while less than 10000
were % or over. In this war the
United States will have to place its
reliance chiefly on the young men.
1t is estimated that 100000 men
arrive at military age every year.
By providing for the suggested reg
istration, it is believed $4,000 of
these men could be accepted for mill
tary service each year.
The proposed amendment to the
iraft law is regarded as of the most
Urgent Importance in army circles.
1t would not only furnish badly need
ed reserves but it would constitute a
real beginning toward universal train
ng and service.-Chicago Tribune.
