taxation The rest Of the 10000 Co.,
900 that must be raised to carry on the
war for twelve months will be sure to
como through the bond ISSUE"
This would appear to put the admin
istration behind the revenue bill as
passed by the House. That calls for the
eighteen hundred millions which Mr..
McAdoo urges the country to demand
Of Congress.
It is to be observed, however, that the
Secretary does not renew the recon-
mendation he made to the ways and
means committee for an increase Of four
hundred millions over the eighteen-hun-
dred million mark. The committee did
not adopt that; and as Mr.. McAdoo
makes no mention of it now, presum-
ably neither the Senate finance commit
tee, nor tho Senate, nor the conferees
of tho House and Senate will con-
slider it.
This, then, is the problem: The ad-
ministration wants eighteen hundred
millions raised by taxation. and the
House has voted for that sum. The
Senate finance committee is figuring on
a reduction Of three hundred millions,
and presently will report to the Senate
q bill carrying that amount. There are
senators who believe that even greater
reduction should be made. Mr.. Weeks
thinks that a billion dollars by taxa
ton would answer for the first year.
The debate in the Senate will open
with these differences staring everybody
in the face They are wide and deep.
LEGISLATORS Of experience may be found
on either side. Their task is exceed
ingly hard. They must find some way
out Of the difficulty. The war is on.
Money in amounts larger than ever be-
fore is required.
Mr.. McAdoo's estimate Of the needs
of the government for year is new
and large. Ten billions may be de-
scribed colloquiaily as "a mighty sight
Of money" Details may be requested
when the Senate debate gets under way.
The people Of the country are unprece-
dentedly prosperous. and realize what
war means, but in the matter Of taxa
ton, which touches, or should touch, all,
they want particulars and equitable
levies.

Old Glory.

This is the day set apart on the ma
tional calendar for paying reverence to
the national banner. Never before was
it observed in such significant circum-
stances. Never before did the Ameri-
can flag mean SO much as it does now,
with the United States enlisted in the
world war for human liberty and de-
mocracy, with its troops going forth to
lands across the sea to fight to make
America safe for Americans, and to
make the world safe for humanity.
Americans are prone to say that theirs
is the most beautiful banner in the
world. It bears no heraldic device. It's
symbolism is plain and simple. Pic
torially it lacks some Of the features
Of other national emblems, but NO other
flag that floats is so we'll adapted to the
stirring breeze as the Stars and Stripes.
1t is instantly distinctive There is
none like it or nearly like it.
Old Glory is now planted on the bat
tie lines in France. It is flying upon
ships of war patrolling the submarine in.
Tested zones of ocean travel. 1t stands
today as the symbol Of the balance of
power that is to decide this conflict.

An Anarchist.

The other day in New York two men
were convicted of conspiracy to block
registration, having been arrested May
81 at q "peace meeting" at which they
were distributing seditious literature.
One of them frankly declared that he is
an anarchist and, asked by his counsel to
define anarchy, he said:
anarchy is a new philosophy of So
cial order. l don't believe in physical
force, police, armies, navies, judges or
courts. l do not believe In militarism.
l would go against the wall before being
conscripted. l will not register, and l
do not believe in the military arm of the
government"
There is nothing new in this "philos-
ophy Of social order" 1t is as old as
the hills. 1t is the doctrine of extreme
individualism and has prevailed-fortu
nately for humanity in a very minor de-
gree-from the most ancient times. In
some cases the followers of this idea
were hermits, and again they were
brigands. The rejection of physical
force is wholly hypocritical. Practically
all Of these people believe in and prac-
tice physical force in resistance of law
They will fight fiercely when interfered
with in their mischievous works.
For such creature the maximum PEN
atty Of two years imprisonment and
$4,000 fine is barely sufficient. OF
course, the fine would be but fiction,
for no anarchist has the means to pay
such sum. The moment he acquires
means he becomes believer in law
for its protection and courts to guaran-
tee his property rights.

America and Russia,

1t is to America that Russia in the
present crisis must look for her ideals
in the establishment of a true republic
1t is to Russia that this country must
look for the cooperation that will com
plete rapidly the task whose earlier re-
sponsibilities have been so gallantly met
by France and England. The alert
propaganda characterizing German op-
erations in this country has not been
neglectful of the opportunity which
seems to present itself for disorganizing
the new government reared over night in
one of the most magnificent demonstra-
tons of patriotism the world has seen
While America is sending statesmen
to meet with statesmen Germany has
sent agents to work among the people
themselves. While America has estab-
ished financial relations on big and
broad minded principles, Germany has
taught her soldiers to exchange trinkets
with the Russian soldiers and affect sym
patty for the democratic ideals to which
their nation has pledged its existence
Such palpable subterfuges should have
little effect; yet the risk Of any effect
at all should be met and disposed Of
without delay.
There are many Russian speaking
Americans who could conduct q cam.
paign of education that would most ef.
nciently support the military operations
Of the allies. They could speedily be
sent abroad, not as secret agents, but
As instructors in the principles of true
repubhcanism from the great republic
Of the new world. The grotesqueness OF
Prussian pretense to sympathy with
democratic institutions should be ex-
posed quickly with the word Of author
ity and in the spirit of brotherhood.

The Net Army Eligibles.

Partial returns from the registration,
though showing some falling of from
the census estimates Of eligibles, give
assurance Of sufficient body Of men
for present needs. From 40 states and
tho District Of Columbia are reported
S,O79,7l5 total registrations, about 1884,
1877 short Of the estimate. or those reg
istered 420l,s2l have claimed or i'm
dicated exemption, and in addition s9l,-
173 aliens and 94,03l alien enemies are
included in the total and are not eligi-
BILE for service. This leaves a net bal
ance Of 1885,, 800 available for enroll
ment in the military ranks. There re-
main states and the insuIar posses
sions yet to report. The 8 states, it
was estimated, contained l,ss4,252 men
eligible for registration. If the same
percentage Of registry prevails in them
as in the states already reported, and if
the exemptions and non -eligibles among
the registrants run in the same pro1oor-
ton there will be in them 4 total of
$3.50 men available for the selectiye
draft. This will give q grand total of
3,540,27o men available for the draft
in the United States, with all who claim
exemptions and those automatically ex.
empted from one cause or another left
out Of the list. From this number an
o,-- 80 -koyID r;Jl;n~ ond g..

The first selective draft will consist
Of 625,0o0 men. This will leave, from
the number just computed as available

The Tocsin.

Just because Washington has gone be-
yond its liberty loan allotment is no
reason that the people of this city should
not continue to buy bonds up to the
close Of banking hours tonight. Indeed,
the fact should stimulate the local citi-
zens who have not yet taken bonds to
make the excess of Washington over the
allotment as great as possible. 1t should
be point Of pride that Washington,
with its modest resources, makes the
best ppoportionate showing Of any com
munity in the United States, in point
Of both volume Of subscriptions and
number Of subscribers.
Today at noon the old liberty bell
at Philadelphia was struck as tocsin.
It was the last call for the people of
this country to subscribe to the loan
that stands for tho cause America has
espoused, the cause of human liberty.
Nearly al years ago the tones Of that
bell rang forth to proclaim the sign
ing Of the Declaration Of Independence.
Physically its tone is weaker now, for
age had laid its hand upon the bell,
but the vibrations Of the sound reach
to the f"rthest limits Of the land, reach
in fact beyond the seas to many mil
lions who are fighting in the cause Of
human rights.
This call to duty will be answered.
The liberty loan will be oversubscribed.
Every dollar needed by the government
to conduct the war upon which it has
entered will be supplied. The spirit Of
'76 still animates the American people.

Americas War.

On this day, the birthday Of the
American flag, it should be borne in
mind by the people Of this country that
the war In which they have entered is
their own war and not merely the war
Of other peoples. 1t is their own war
because the United States is now fight
ing for its security, its very national
existence, fighting against foe that if
dominant in the struggle in Europe will
menace its security here.
The United States sends its flag
abroad because war is now being waged
there, and will fight to the utmost of
its powers to finish the war there
through the defeat Of Germany and her
allies as a means Of safeguarding these
shores from attack and these institu-
tions from destruction.
It is true that the United States has
Joined the European allies with sym
pathy for their ends, but the specific
reason for this country's entrance into
the struggle is that American rights
have been invaded, American lives de-
stroyed, and American security menaced
by German intrigue with neighboring
states to a point beyond endurance, a
point in fact constituting the waging
of war upon this country without decia-
ration, but with plainly evident design.
Every American citizen, every father
and mother, must recognize and realize
this fact, that the United States is fight
ing not merely as an altruistic meas
ure Of sympathy for peoples Of kindred
spirit and similar institutions against
an autocratic and aggressive foe, but
because Of specific grievances endured
and dangers that confront it; and that
every man who is sent, every son who
is sacrificed, is contribution to ma
tional safety. physical security against
invasion and spoliation such as Euro
pean states have suffered.
The flag whose birthday is celebrated
today is floating now in France in happy
com DluallOn WIFI the cOlOfS Oh Otner
lands The United States is fortunate
that it can fight its war against Prussian
autocracy and ambition for world do
minion at a distance from the home
shores, and with the aid Of others. If
this war cannot be won in Europe even
tually and perhaps soon it must be waged
here on these shores, with the posi-
bility. indeed the probability, of inva-
sion through Mexico.
The German governments hatred for
the United States and its determination
to dominate and punish it, If that is
possible, is unconcealed. Thus this war
becomes a war Of defense, though waged
at distance, and in alliance with Eu-
ropean peoples. Let it not be thought
that this is merely Europe's war with
American aid. It is also Americas war
with Europe's aid.

ton age-doubtless made up by the
number entering that age at the other
end Of the line-the first registration
roll will suffice for probably the whole
first army even if 100000 men are re-
quired. It is presumably the policy of
the government to hold to the first reg
istration as long as men are available
under it, and to pass to q higher age
limit only when necessary to fill the
American quotas.
While there may be some disappoint-
ment on the score Of the falling on OF
the registration from the census esti-
mates and of the number of those who
claim exemption there remains a sufi-
cient total to reassure all Americans.
The grand army of national defense will
not be deficient in numbers.
