The best informed men in Washing
ton look upon the peace situation much
as they did when the President first
threw the weight OF American influence
behind the German peace move. The
salient facts then, as now, are:
Present Situation
First-Nothing is likely to come out
Of the present exchange of notes. The
cause Of peace has not been helped in
the least.
Second-The motives for the dispa tch
of the American note are 20 be found
as confirmed in the statements Of Sec
rotary Lansing and Endorsed by Amer
lean state officials in comments on
stories in The Tribune, The Herald"
"The World" and THE Times" and

made peace comes quickly, the United
States will be drawn into the war ty

II, as reported yesteday, according to
belief in high official circles, the Presi-
dent has in his possession secret Ger
man peace terms so liberal" accord
ing to German views, that the Allies
must at least consider them" and If
the President plans to make another
peace move no matter what is con-
tanned in the forthcoming reply of the
Allies then there is no doubt that the
situation will develop. Whether it will
develop into war or peace is ques-
ton.
1t cannot be emphasized too often
that Congress is dead 20 the danger OF
war and the Administration is doing
1othing to follow up its warning" that
the country is on the verge of war.

Program for Mobilization of
 Drafted Men

The following Is from the official or der of the U $. War Department re garding the schedule of movements of the National Army:
 Five per cent of the quota from each state will be mobolized beginning Sept. 9th, forty per cent beginning Sept. 18th, forty per cent beginning Oct. Sd, and the remaining fifteen per cent as soon thereafter as practicable. The number of men to go forward from Chicot county on Sept. 5th will be eight.
 The object of calling five per cent k to place in the camps enough men to form a skeleton organization to assist in receiving and assimilating the large contingents. For this reason 1t Is re qured that local boards send only white men and so far as practicable that they send men with some military experience or cooks. In making this selection order numbers are not con trolling but great care must be taken not to send men whose order of call is so late that they will not be within the quota of the boards.
 The program for the men from the date of mobilization through the first month of training will be as follows:
 The local exemption boards will be notified to assemble the required quota from their districts at the local county seat. Each man will be furnished transportation and meal tickets and will be entrained by the local board. The executive officer of the local board will place in charge of each party one or more men of military experience. The schedule of days on which the groups entrain will be arranged by the Provost Marshal Generals Office to obviate delays in reaching the canton ments and to insure the arrival of the men in numbers suitable for their proper handling
 FIRST DUTY OF RECRUIT
 The first duty of the recruit when he arrives at the cantonment will he to take bath He will then be given q physical examination and vaccinated for typhoid, paratyphoid and smallpox. Recommendations will then be made to the company commander for special forms of exercise to remedy any slight physical defects. The first two weeks of training will be occupied almost en- titely with these special exercises, light exercises in setting up drills and schooling of the soldier. Dur ing the second two weeks regular training will begin.

LATEST GERMAN GUNNERY.

1t doesn't speak well for German sub
marine gunnery when a submarine fires
IS shots at so large a target as an
American liner and still does not score a
hit, although the liner has slowed down
and is itself busted in returning the fire.
II the reports of the state department at
Washington concerning the battle be-
tween an armed American ship and a
German submarine are correct, then IL
must be inferred that the seamen now
manning some of the latest creations of
German deviltry are decidedly raw mate
rial and little trained for the work which
they are called upon to do. The success
Of the British and French of late in cop
ing with the submarine menace NAV be
greater than Germany is willing to admit
and the number of submarines lost with
their crews may have so reduced the ex-
perienced sesmen that il has become nee
essary to call on comparatively untried
material TO man the U-boats ss they are
turned out in rapid succession. The ex-
perience Of the American liner shows at
least that il is possible for armed mer-
chant ships to cope with the submarines
