PROBE STABBING AFFAIR
AssaIIant Of Wells ls Sought Among
coIored Soldiers.

Rigid investigation of the alleged
stabbing Of Walter L. Wells by col
ored soldiers last night was started
by Major Walker, commanding the
First Separate Battalion, today. All
the men not on sentry duty last night
will be questioned, and Major Walker
Is confident he will have but little
difficulty in finding the identity Of the
men.
The stabbing took place about 9:4O
o'clock last night. Wells, who Is
twenty-four years old, was sitting on
a stoop, with a friend, at Fourteenth
and l. streets southeast. He laughed
as a group OF colored soldiers passed,
and the latter, thinking the laughter
was directed at them, turned and at
tackled him. In the fight which fol-
lowed, Wells received a bayonet stab
wound in the face.
Several white men Joined in the
hght and the soldiers ran. The crowd
followed them several blocks, but
were outdistanced.
Although he intends going into the
matter thoroughly. Major Walker de-
cIared this morning he did not be-
lieye the stabbing was done by a
member Of the battalion, and declared
he was confident Wells. was not
stabbed with a bayonet.
.aThe men aren't allowed to wear
their bayonets into the city" he said.

John BarleYcorn

John has had a rather hard time
of it since the war began. The Rus
sian edict against the manufacture
and sale of vodka. was a blow be-
tween the eyes. Incidentally, the
potatoes that would have been con-
verted into alcohol saved the popu-
lation of Galicia from starvation af-
ter each invading army had swept
over the country twice. France and
England have limited the sale of
liquor as a war measure, and now
the pressure is strong upon Congress
to save the millions Of bushels of
grain that are now converted into
whisky and beer and use them for
the food supply of the country. John
Barleycorn has been up against a
good many hard propositions lately,
but if a combination of patriotism
and hunger is arrayed against him,
there is no telling what he will look
like when this cruel,war is over.

Enemies of the Country

There is only one ground on which
the obstructionists in Congress could
defensibly oppose the Administra-
tons determination to apply the
principle of universal military serv-
ice Immediately in the United States.
This is the ground that conscription
would not supply quickly enough the
army by which the country must, out
of consideration for its good name.
be represented overseas as soon as
possible.
But fortunately the Administra-
tion has destroyed this argument in
advance by deciding to secure the
first line for the field by recruiting
the regular army and the national
guard to full strength. The $4,000
volunteers who enter the regular
army and. the national guard will
bring those organizations up to the
numbers required for the initial ex-
peditionary force; successive ncre-
ments VIII be furnished from the
men raissd in more deliberate fash

A number Of complaints regarding

quest that the commission' be notified
Of the company's action.
The sale OF used street. car tickets,
1t was said, has practically been dis
continued. Conductors have been no

of the car mems union, and at head
quarters II was stated by leaders OF
the strikers that the benefit VIII be

George A. Wilburt, president Of the
union, said that several striking car
operatives will call on members Of

ion by the system of selective con-
scription.
Opponents of this program as out
lined at Washington put them
selves in the position at the outset,
therefore. of maintaining that
neither they themselves, their sons
nor any other Americans owe any
duty of service whatever to their
Government other than whatever
they may choose, individually, to
render as a special favor. 1t is not
susceptible of argument that any
person subscribing to such a prin-
ciple Of exalted personal selfishness
is not fit to be an American citizen
much less fit to sit in Congress. The
greatest public service that holders
of so disloyal a doctrine can render
Is to stand up and permit themselves
to be counted by real Americans.
Aside from the fact that selective
conscription, under which the. burden
of military service is distributed as
evenly as possible among all the
families in the land. is the only
equitable means of maintaining an
army it is the only system by which
the resources of the country can be
properly husbanded and organized
for the support of the armies in the
field. To rely solely upon the vol
unteer system to fight war is not
only to permit the conscripting of
the country's' best men-by the
slackers' refusal to enlist-but also
to permit the disorganizing of the
country's industries through the en-
listment of skilled operatives who
should not go to the trenches ex-
cept in a final emergency.
Whether or not he intends to be,
the American who opposes the i'm
and businesslike application
of the principle of universal military
service in the United States is as
much an enemy of his country as if
he were aboard U-boat preying on
ships and lives. =
