unteer we should have an army. That
is altogether wrong. We should have
a multitude of volunteers, insufficient
ly trained, badly differed, and unfit
to face a trained Germany army, as
a floor walker would be unfit to face
a pugilist in a prize ring.
1t would be unreasonable to doubt
the excellence of the intentions OF
representatives who, as members OF
the House Military COMMITTEE, are
opposing the selective draft. One
among them is Mr. Fields, of Ken
lucky, who, the Courier-Journal feels
sure, votes his sincere convictions.
Others, like Mr.. Fields, look upon the
volunteer system as representing free
dom, and upon CONSUMPTION as unwar-
rantable coercion. With the eXperienc
of Great Britain, between 1914 and
1917 before them, how can these
members of congress decline to sup
port a bill Which would result in
Americas avoidance of Great Britains
tremendously costly, and truly tragi-
cal blunder?
The country faces a great crisis.
Votes cast injIdiciously in congress
may make dtrk chapter of Amerl-
can history. The situation is far too
grave to admit of sentiment stand
ing in the way of the efforts of the
president and the War Department

many would ike nothing better than
to see the anti draft forces defeat the
presidents bill 1t would warrant
them in regarding America as negligi-
| bic insofar as the entrance of hel
army into the var is conserved.
The Admins ration Selective Draft
Bill should be passed without hesita-
ton or delay. Under the amendment
proposed by Chairman Dent and his
| followers of tie House Military Al

war unpreparCd and pledged to
horse-trade in midstream. Such
course, in the face of the world
knowledge of the costliness of Great
Britain's blunder, would be crimina
negligence.
No American is more averse to wal
than President Wilson. No American
is more regard.ul of the rights of hi!

ness. The house should pass it as
substitute for the house bill with the
ruinous amendments approved by the
majority of the Military Affairs Com
mittee. Mr.. Fields, of Kentucky; Mr..
Dent. of Alabama, and the others
with them should consider the
gravity of the situation rather than
their sentimental leaning toward the
volunteer system, and give their votes
to the observation-disclosures.

CHICAGO CONCERN FIRST

Southern Dealers Also Employing
Women for Work in Mills
and Lumber Yards.

WASHINGTON. July 17.-Women
who wish to do their bit in the war will
soon have chance. The women's
committee of the council of national
defense is compiling information con-
cerning all the fields of industry open
to women rs n result of the war.
Lists of women who desire to take
the places of men called to the colors
will be compiled.
Among the more recent inquiries di-
rected to the committee are several
from men prominent in the lumber in
dustry in various parts of the country,
asking il women will be willing to
fill the ranks Of workmen in their
yards and mills, soon to be thinned by
the response Of the men to war serv-
ice.
Several Southern lumber dealers al
ready are employing women, accord
ing to reports received by the COM
mittee and one large lumber concern
in south Chicago has engaged women
for positions formerly filled exclusively
by men.
In commenting on the inquiries from
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-07-21

lumbermen, Miss Ida NJ. Tarbell of
the women's committee said:
II had not heard that women were
going into lumber concerns, tho of
course one has only to keep ones eyes
open to learn that they are slipping
into many occupations formerly filled
by men. The women's committee
would like to know and will do its best
to find out just what kind of work they
are doing; just what conditions are
under which they work, hours and
wages. For my part l see no reason
why women should not work in lum-
ber factories provided the conditions,
hours and wages are fair and the
work not too heavy"
