Military Draft Bill Favored

The attendance at the public hear
ing granted by the House committee
on military affairs this afternoon or
II 251, would seem to indicate that
the young men Of Vermont between
the ages of is and Is are willing to be
drafted in a last attempt to bolster up
the National Guard system which has
been declared by the country's military
experts to be obsolete, unsuccessful
and fit only for the discard. 1t is
possible, however, that no young man
appeared to oppose the measure think
ing that the draft clause itself would
preclude its favorable consideration
by a Vermont Legislature. But if the
committee bases its report upon the
opinion expressed at the hearing by
Adjutant General Lee s. Tillotson Of
St Adams, author Of the bill, Colonel
Herbert 7. Johnson of Bradford, form
er commanding officer of the Vermont
National Guard, President John M.
Thomas Of Middlebury College, until
recently chaplain of the First Yer
mont, and Representative George
Bond of Searsburg, veteran of the
Civil War, who were the only speak
ers of the afternoon, compulsory pat
riotism will be exacted from Yer
mont's younger sons.

What the Bill Provides

The measure which was drafted by
General Tillotson provides that in or
der that the National Guard Of Yer

federal law and regulations las en-
bodied in the national defense act) the
Governor is authorized to draft from
among the able bodied citizens of the
county In which National Guard or
ganization exists or may be establish
ed, sufficient number to supply a
deficiency in that organization exist
ing for more than thirty days; pro-
yidcd that the men so drafted shall not
be less than IS nor more than %
years Of age, shall be unmarried and
have no relatives dependent upon them
and shall be available for the duty re-
quired.

WHITTIER WE ARE DRIFTING

The obstacles that are being put in the way in congress OF
the measures deemed by the president necessary to vigorous
prosecution of the war show that, despite the object lesson fur
nished by Great Britains costly experience before bucklng
down to BUSINESS for the fray, we will probably have to go
through the same ordeal.
Differences of opinion as to whether we should, or should
not. have entered the war count for nothing now. Being in it,
we must bend every energy to accomplish our object, and those
who do not want to help must at least refrain from obstructng
the work in hand. After inviting the enemy to do his worst
it is suicidal for us to hit at him with the soft end of a feather
buster. If the chairman of the house military affairs commit
tee and the majority of his associates are opposed to pushing
the war i'm earnest and refuse to change their present tactics,
it will devOlve upon the house to get another chairman OF that
committee and reconstitute its membership.
If the controlling democratic majority in the house is not
ready to cooperate effectually with a president of their own
party faith. a realignment of the house across party lines will
become necessary, as it did in Great Britain, and control will
have to be assumed by a coalition majority.
And if a coalition party made up of the aggressive and for
ward-looking democrats and republicans and independents in
both senate and house take the reins in congress, it will be
necessary for the president, likewise, to make his administra-
ton accord with his supporting forces and give us a coalition
cabinet with the strongest and best equipped leaders in the
whole nation at the head of each department, regardless of
previous political afiliatiOn, just as it has come about in Great
Britain.
Finally. i. this is to be the outcome, it will be well for one
and all to realize quickly what is ahead of us and to begin to
shape our action in that direction.

WHY NOT?

Each day many young men offering themselves as recruits
for the army are turned down because they do not conform to
the physical requirements. A man may be healthy and strong,
capable of doing good work, yet because of defective vision,
flat feet. bad teeth, imperfect hearing, liability to illness, or
some minor physical defect be barred from military service.
Why cannot some plan be devised for enlisting these men
a a subsidiary army for civil work? Today wars are won as
IL uch by the efforts of civilians as by those of soldiers, and
men not fit for the firing line might be found most valuable in
other work. For instance, when the wheat harvest begins in
the west several thousand men might very well be taken by the
government to assist the farmers. Almost every year immense
quantities of grain are lost because of the shortage of help, and
this year this shortage will be more pronounced than ever. A
mobile army of twenty or twenty-five thousand men could be
employed constantly by the government in relieving such sit
uations and prove a most valuable factor in promoting the pub
lie interest. Tt Y would be a patriotic service, too, and those
enlisting in it would be serving their country just as valianty
and Just as effectively as though they marched with the army
or sailed with the navy.
Why not enlist a certain number of those rejected by the
military authorities and employ them in patriotic civil work?
