Papers in all parts of the country have
this same objection to make.
The number of claims for exemption is
aritating many editorial minds. On this
point 1.-The New Hampshire Gazette de-
clares that a very humliating condition
has been disclosed, and urges that some
thing be done to prevent the raising of an
army by CONSUMPTION from being turned
into a farce"
In many places as high as so per cent
of the men called have filed exemption
claims. ITO grant exemptions on anything
near the scale of requests" comments
THE Tacoma Ledger would be to de-
feat the purpose of the law, which is to
raise an army of great size and power

ton clause is demanded by The Birmlng-

statement that in one district men with
large families are being drafted, despite
their claims, if their wives are able to
work. This is severe test, says the
paper, for
at tries the foundation OF mans soul to
know that his wife must go into the shops
because he must bear arms; and such loyalty
is above lip tribute. But in two other dis
tricts, the fashionable districts Of large in
comes and smaller families, several sons Of
very wealthy men have asked for and been
granted exemption on the grounds Of de-
rendent wives. In one case one OF these
wives is herself the daughter of millionaire.
In another case a husband was granted ex-
emption for a dependent wife, though she is
an actress known to be receiving a large
salary

@ ocialism Pricks Up
y Its Ears Sharply

"The New York Call" says there is
rothing very startling or original in the
suggestion for compulsory industrial
army. noting that it is to very great eX-
tent operative in Germany and in Eng
land. The Socialist paper thinks 1t
fairly certain that when the nation gets
deeper into the war compulsory army
here will be fact. "The CALI charac-
teristically refers to the ruling class IN
America as the capitalistic class, and as
sures its readers that, while an Industrial
army seems to be inevitable, it will not be
under the domination of capital, adding:
can industrial army controlled completely
BY capitalists would from the workers
point of view. necessarily mean industrial

Is Germany Back Of the
l Negro TROUBLED

A sinister touch to the whole situation
is given by a bulletin issued by the
Patriotic Education Society at Washing
ton, warning the public that the Germans
are conducting a propaganda in this
country to cause an uprising Of negroes.
The two first paragraphs read:
Information has reached the responsible
officers OF this society Of Widespread Ger
man propaganda, urging the negroes OF
America to arise against tho whites, and
promising German aid and money to finance
the instruction.
THE ignorant negro Is being told that
when Germany rules in America the blacks
will have equal rights with the whites. In
Germany, these credulous people are informed
the color line does not exist-the black Is a:
good as the white"

Ii a Case of Race
w Repri.alp

1.-The Chicago Daily News" hints that
the affair might have been race reprisal
for the East st. Louis, H., killing OF
blacks by whites, and continues:
"The violence of the outbreak, apparently
without serious special provocation, indicates
as did the orgy of murder in Illinois, the diff
cult nature of the problem presented by the
presence in the same community OF different
races. To what extent such crimes as that At
East St. Louis had inHamed the minds OF
colored soldiers of the oath Infantry against
the whites and prepared them for that DEM
onstration Of fury is well worthy of invcsti-
cation"

NewCoal Fields in England

An interesting example of recent ex-
porations of concealed coal fields is that
OF the borings carried down into the east
ward extension of the Nottinghamshire
coal fields toward the Trent Valley. They
have proved that the easterly dip Of the
coal measures is not maintained indefi-
nitely, but that it gives place to an east
ward rise and definite limit in that direc-
ton where the beds are oyerlain uncom-
formally by the newer strata. Even so
this concealed extension is notable ad-
dtion to the visible coal field, though its
productiveness is still in doubt.
Other cases are those Of Denbighshire,
where the accessibility Of the buried cast
ern extension depends upon whether the
steeply dipping coal seams will continue to
be brought to higher level By further
faults like those of the visible field. ThiS
appears probable from recent work.
In the Kent coal field the coal measures
appear to occupy trough with its axis
running from northwest to southeast. The
possible existence Of a continuous belt Of
coal measures occupying the same zone Of
intense disturbance that traverses Belgium
and Northern France is considered, and
the opinion is expressed by experts that
the gently folded Kent coal measures must
be somewhat off this line TO the north. The
great thickness of secondary strata in the
South Of England has hitherto been bar

TO PHASE of the selective draft law
III offers wider range for debate


QUESTION whether or not married men with
dependent families should be taken in the
first drawing. Public opinion, based on
its usual mixture Of reason and sentiment,
would appear to be leaning to the side
that would send the young unmarried men
first. The issue is complicated in indus
trial centres by alien immunity and IN
others by the imminent need Of farm labor.
Attempting to show practical reasons
why the married should be left behind
until a greater need arises, "The Atlanta
Constitution" reminds its public that II
married man seeks voluntary enlistment
he is usually met with prompt refusal and
that if he insists there is whole reel OF
red tape to be unwound. Since 1t is at
least partly the state Of mans mind on
the firing line that makes him good
soldier or a bad one, "The Los Angeles
Times points out that it would be folly to
ignore the psychology of the married.
The meaning of dependents is discussed

The Japanese Red Cross

Japan has always preserved feeling
of deep gratitude for the kindness
~ shown by the friendly powers ct the
time of her war with China as well as
during the Russo-Japanese war. She,
therefore. Immediately after the outbreak
of the present war, decided to despatch
force of Red Cross nurses and physicians
to aid the wounded among the Allies: the
first detachment went to Russia, the second
to England. the third to France. They re-
manned in Europe for over year and
rendered great service.
: All three detachments brought their own
medical instruments and supplies from
Toxic. They also brought with them money
presents, furnished by the government and
PEOPLE of Japan. The bandages were
partly prepared by the hands OF japanese
Leeresses and princesses.
IN times of peace, the Japan Red Cross
Society, which dates back to the year
1878. is constantly educating and training
nurses, who are doing regular hospital
work, give first aid in personal accidents
or public calamities. The training course
is one Of three years.
The present number Of Red cross
nurses in Japan is about 5000, while the
number of surgeons available for war
time exceeds 200, with corresponding
number of efficient pharmacists and help
crs Of all sorts.
The present membership embraces
1,74O,OOO. scattered all over the EMPIRE
including Corca. Formosa and Manchurl"'

"The Newport News" blames the
authorities for mobilizing the colored
troops in the South, with the Browns
vile affair" still so fresh as warning,
and observes that the Southern people
"get along we'll enough with the negro
civilians" but asserts that negro
soldiers are different" And "The Charles
ton Observer" thinks that
What has happened in Houston is likely to
happen in any other Southern city where ne
gro troops may be modified, and where this
assertiye spirit shall be in evidence"
"The Columbia Record" is of the opin-
ion that liquor may have caused the
trouble, and does not see any danger in
South Carolina negroes being assigned to
Camp jackson at Columbia. The innate
"cussedness" of the black is suggested by
1.-THE Nashville Tennessean," in this
fashion:
"Ths latest uprising seems to have beer
without provocation other than the desire TO
show the Houston police that the negroes
will not be amenable to the laws OF that
city"

rs Democracy safe for the negro? This
is a question which the colored man
has been asking Of late. Is Houston
an answer to East st. Louis? This, in
turn, is counter query which may de-
vclop into great significance.
To say that the negro problem trans
cends all others in the South is merely to
state a truism, but many competent OBJ
servers are of the opinion that the colored
races will present the next great problem
after the war, not only in America but
throughout the civilized world. For the
Ethiopian is increasing in numbers,
wealth and wisdom. And in this material
world man of property may not be
ignored. No longer is he content to be a
type for cheap ''vodveel' actors in carl
cature, or 10 supply the fuel for South

buffoon and bonfire.
According to Ely's Outlines of Econo-
mics" the number of black farmers in the
South has increased more rapidly than has
that of the whites during the last census
decade; the acreage Of land operated
by the latter has actually decreased, while
that worked by the blacks has increased
Corresponding differences are shown in

many of the claims for exemption dis
close wonderful fidelity to wives and
mothers. Intense degrees Of love and
affection are discovered in so many cases
and in so widely separated places that
several editors with turn for philosophy
cal speculation wonder whether the most
perfect family relations that ever existed
in the world will not be one Of the by
products Of the war.
Other papers, 1.-THE FL Paso Times to
quote an instance, writing on these mar
riage Stacker disclosures, contend that
"the shame of it is CALLING to every patri-
otto citizen in the United States"
A proposal for an amendment by Con-
gress to the draft law calling to the colors
youths Of nineteen and twenty and those
who have reached the age Of twenty-one
since June is supported by Lieutenant
General S. VI. B. Young, retired. lmmedi-
ate action by the House and Senate IS
asked on the ground that the present draft
is wholly inadequate TO meet the nations
military needs. A statistical table pre-
pared by General Young shows that fully
so per cent Of the married men have
claimed exemption on the ground of mar
riage. 1.-The nation must turn to the young
unmarried men for defence is General
Young's conclusion.

THE South May Yet Face a
/ Reversal Of the Question

The South seems not to have been very
successful in dealing with the problem Of
the negro and some are Of the opinion
that the ominous question of the future
NAV be: us the South safe for the
whites?" The learned Dr. Mencken,
editor Of Smart Set and himself a
Southerner believes not, and says that
the completeness of its (the South's)
failure Ito solve the problem is growing
more visible day by day. And further:
When that morn the day of the black

Glasses Of state labor and Of municipal
employees have also claimed exemption.
Writing on the refusal Of the Provost
Marshal General to exempt the New York
City police and fremen, "The New York
Sun" says:
"Such an exception would be, a, General
Crowder points out, discriminatory and con-
trary to the spirit Of the CONSUMPTION law.
So far as the men themselves are concerned,
we believe that every young policeman and
fireman without dependents will be glad to 90
into the army"

That the future holds menace to the
safety of the republic if proper measures
ore not taken, is the view of "The State
Of Columbia, S. Co. which observes:
"A fcpetiton of the Houston incident will
convirce the whites, North and South, that
the safety of the Republic requires that the
negroes be forced 10 the rear during the war,
and that will mean that they will stay further
in the rear for years to come than they have
been in the past"

THE Houston Affair. Briefly
i Rehearsed

It may be recalled that on the night Of
of negro soldiers Of the cath United
States Infantry ran amuck, with the re-
suit that fifteen white men-cvilians,
police and members of the National
Guard-were killed outright and more
than a score of men, women and children
were injured. Two negro soldiers also
were killed and five injured. The trouble
started when policeman tried to arrest
a colored woman, and her soldier escort
interfered. The fact that the soldiers
were United States regular troops aggra-
waited the incident, and brings up the
Brownsville riot Of 1906, in which a num-
her of whites were killed, and in con-
sequence of which two companies OF the
25th United States colored regulars were
dismissed, without honor" by President
Roosevelt.
"The Houston Chronicle is Of the
opinion that "the negro temperament is
such as to require absolutism on the part
of those in command Lenient treat
ment "has led negro soldiers to believe
that the government is in sympathy with
their arrogance and impudence toward
white people and civilian authorities, but
especially in the South
Southern editors generally are inclined
to be conservative in their utterances.
1.-THE Charleston News and Courier" re-
marking:
"The problem is not one which can be
helped by extended discussion in the press.
The less discussion there is the better. But
it is to be hoped that Secretary Baker will
take this warning TO heart
