ing them back from active army SER
vice until they become Of age.
Congress Expected to Go Further.
II congress is In a frame OF mind
to enact compulsory military train
ing law, it doubtless will go further
than General Young suggests, for the
amendment he is now urging merely
renders boys from 10 to Fl subject
to military draft. but provides no ma
chinery for training them, even in q
preliminary way.
or course, under such an amend
ment, these young men could be called
out at any time by the president, ant
be sent to such cantonments and
training camps as may be available
but the probability is that If congress
undertakes to authorize compulsory
military training, 1t will provide rather
elaborate machinery for carrying gu,
its authorization. Under the Young
amendment, young men 10 and 81
are merely subject to call, and it would
rest with the president to call them
or not as he saw fit.
Younger Men Preferred.
A great many regular army officers
would not be averse to a further
amendment to the draft law which
while lowering the minimum age
would also lower the maximum. Re-
ports from training camps have shown
that men between 35 and 81 are not
nearly so well adapted to army service
as are the younger men selected in
the first draft. Reports from regis
tration officers also show that there
was more justification for exemptine
the men over 20 than in the case of
men under that age either for physi-
cal, business or family reasons.
There is another sort of amendment
that is sure to be proposed to the
draft law, one looking to the exemp-
ton of men engaged in the necessary
war industries, such as shipbuilding,
|coalmining, transportation, etc. While
many men were exempted on the first
WI at betduSt tlieE were 50 engaged,
Others were taken, and industries were
crippled to just that extent This
point, however, Is one that could be
handled by presidential order, and it
may be held that legislation is not
necessary.
Tradesmen Exempted ConditionalIy.
From an official source at Washing
ton the suggestion has been made that
the law authorize exemption of all
workmen or laborers engaged in ship
yards, in coal and metal mines, in
transportation, munition factories, etc,
provided the men, at the time they
are called, are actually engaged in
the exempted industries This, it is
pointed out, would tend to keep the
skilled shipworker at his own and
chosen vocation, for shiplaborer
would not be exempt if he were work
ing on a buildinG and vice versa; a
coal miner would not be exempt if
at the time of call he was on strike,
or engaged elsewhere than in a coal
mine. This form of legislation has
been suggested as a possible remedy
for strikes in the essential industries

Causes of Failure

indianapolis, June 30. - Why so
many men are rejected for military
service is partially explained by the
weekly report of recruiting officer,
Sergeat q. G. Wright, compiled after
the recent drive for recruits in the
United States Marine corps.
Out of 1872 applications for enlist
ment during the week only "a were
accepted. Others were rejected for
the following causes: Under age, 81 p;
underweight, 30; defective vision. 26 ;
defective hearing, 4; flat feet, l6.
Sixty-One others were rejected as
undesirable" through failure to
meet the exacting mental, moral and
physical requirements.
The standard of the 'Soldiers of
the Sea" is very high, though certain
notifications may be put into effect
later, should it be necessary to follow
the precedent of the countries that
have been draining their man power
for three years. Sergeant Wright
says that at present ~ per cent. is
about the average of acceptances
throughout the country.

Prussian Bluster

That German braggart who pre-
sumed to tell war correspondent on
the west front that Pussia will bend
us to the knee in submission before
we have time to mObolize our fighting
forces, and that the bulk of the 81
600, 600. 600 bond issue will be paid in
indemnities to the central powers,
sadly discounts the temper of
America today. He has yet to
learn that. though slow to anger, the
great republic strikes with the fury
of avenging rightt BUSINESS when it is
fully aroused. Moreover, If he takes
the time to scan history he will
learn that this country is not in the
habit of paying ipdemnities. 1t was
just II century ago that an intrepid
American, speaking for his country
on European soil, delivered the ul-
timatum: "Millions for defence, but
not one cent for tribute" and so far
as the records goes, Americans have
held that principle inviolable ever
since.
When Bryan prOphesied that in the
event this country was assailed by n
foreign foe "a million, men would
spring to arms in a single night" the
the Prussians sensed the folly of that
assurance, perhaps, more readily
than we. For they knew then
what we know now-that, without
previous military training and the
necessary equipment, such host of
volunteer defenders would be a poor
match against veteran modern
army of even the smallest proper
tions. But even so, our self-opinion-
ated enemies are due to find sorry
consolation in the end. Although
America is moving slowly, she is
gaining momentum every minute,
and when Der Tag finally arrives
there will be a mighty reckoning for
the clustering Prussian and all his
kind. In the meantime. such allusions
AS he chooses to indulge in simply
serve to make this country fighting
mad, and even this has it's advan-
tages.

THE WAR

The Germans have bumped into
American naval forces, and-got
the worst of it.
The exploit took place in connec-
tion with the passage of the last Sec
tion of the First American Expedi-
tionary Army to Franch and can best
be told in the language Of the As
sociated Press dispatches from
Washington, which reports rs fol-
lows, under date of July 3:
American forces have fought two
battles at sea with German sub
marines and in both conflicts have
been victorious.
In tw" weeks attacks by subma-
rines in force upon the transports
carrying General Pershing's expedi-
tionary army of 2s.OOO regulars. the
American naval conveys beat off the
enemy and sent at least one subma-
rine to the bottom.
"Casualties-None was the word
flashed to Washington in the report
on both engagements. Every trans
port arrived safely without the loss
of a single man.
This was the news of the first
battles fought by America in the war
for liberty and democracy, given to
the public by the administration on
the eve of the one hundred and forty
first anniversary of Americas decla-
ton Of Independence.
For nearly two weeks the adninis-
tration has withheld the intelligence
pending the safe arrival of the last
contingent of the Pershing army, re-
port of which was received late to-
day. The announcement was made
Immediately with the additional
motive of furnishing the American
people with fitting cause for joy
Gus celebration of the Fourth of J July,
just nineteen years ago the American
victory at the battle of Santiago
crowned the observance of the ma
tional anniversary.
The Russians have commenced n
vigorous offensive on the east front,
and have already captured over
~, 600 German andi A ustrian prisoners.

STAND BY THIS EMBLEM
The Madness Of Wilhelm

ii there exists anywhere in the
world reasonable human being who
doubts that the great war is strug-
gle between democracy and autocracy
all he has to do is to follow the ut
terrances of the kaiser of Germany.
The monarch who plunged the whole
world into horror and butchery is
Also just about 1900 years behind his
time.
His thinking along some lines goes
back to the dark ages. He still
really and truly believes there is such
q thing as the divine right of kings.
Nations, according to him, do not
select the kind of government they
are to have. This is done for them
by men up above, under the guidance
and sanction OF God.
Wiring to the deposed King Con-
stantine of Greece, Wilhelm used
these words: 1.-The mailed fist of
Germany, with furthur aid from
Almighty God, will restore you to
your throne, of which no man by
right can rob you"
In that one sentence there is per-
feet picture of the menace this power
mad monarch Is to a world that would
dwell in peace.
1.-The mailed fist, ,"-German adora-
tion of armed power which may
make ruthless war on it's neighbors'
with further aid from Almighty
God, ,"-Wilhelm's belief that the
Almighty is in league with the Prus-
sian powers of oppression.
"Your throne, of which no man by
right can rob yon,"-bere you have
the autocrat closing his eyes to the
fact that the Greek nation gave the
throne to "Tino's' ancestor and that
the giver can also take away.
We Americans must put our backs
into this war and wage it until we
have eliminated the danger of the
mailed fist, and convinced even
Wilhelm that the voice OF free people
alone rules, and not theOutworn creed
of divine origin Of the right of an in
bred family to hold sway over mil
lions.-Denver Express
