THE RESP ONSE.

Not in any war in which the
United States has ever been en-
gagged has there been such a re-
spouse to the call to arms as in
this one. Those misguided folks
who are still occas iOnally to be
found talking about APATHY"
and about the need for "arousing
the people to a retaliation of the
war" seem to owe their delusiOn
to the lack of that hurrah-bOys
sort of atmosphere which they
somehow regard as necessary. 1t
is like those Presidential cam
paigns in which the people have
quietly made up their minds
from the first and in which the
politicians lament the condition
of APATHY" until a record
breaking vote on Election Day
enlightens them.
In previous wars the atmos-
phere of hurrah and excitement
was needed, perhaps, to stimu-
late a tagging interest and to
conceal the sluggishness of the
response. 1t has not been need
ed in this one. Without any fuss
or noise 1926 volunteers have
enlisted in the regular army,
bringing it up to 100000 men.
The National Guard, with $780,
900 men, was drafted into the
Federal service on Monday. The
navy, for which men have been
volunteering in the same noise
less fashion, has been raised tc
over 1877 900 men, the Marine
Corps to its authorized wal
strength of 10000, and in the
Naval Reserve and the Nation.
al Naval Volunteers there are
45, 1000.
There are 800, 900 men anC
more now bearing arms. ThC
draft will add $4,000 more
bringing the number up to near
ly 100000, and their mobiliza
