The Exemption Claimants.

While there is ground for disappoint-
ment in yesterdays showing on the first
day of the examinations of registrants
under the draft there is no reason for
encouragement. 1t was quite well as
sured in advance that there would be
many claims for exemption, many rejec-
tons for physical deficiencies, and if a
small percentage of those who presented
themselves were found fit and willing
for service it merely means that larger
number must be called to fill the Dis
trict's quota.
Of course, all those who claim e1emp-
ton will not necessarily be excused from
service. 1t is one thing to put in claim
and another thing to prove it, and the
exemption board and the board of ap-
peals must pass upon all Of these cases
before the registrant is definitely taken
or rejected. Probably many of those
who are now putting in claims are do
ing so as matter of form, not expect
ing to be exempted, SO that yesterdays
percentage Of men willing to serve and
qualify physically may not represent the
net percentage of the draft available for
duty.
It will be unfortunate if at this stage
of the conflict the disposition prevails
to let somebody else do the work. 1t
cannot be too often stated that this
is Americas war, the war of all Ameri-
cans, and that every man has a stake
in it and every woman and child, that
it is the war of all classes of society.
1t is a national obligation, a national
duty, a national opportunity. And if
enough men are not obtained by the
first draft there will be other drafts, and
still others, if necessary, until the men
required to fill the ranks Of the army
that is to win this war are obtained.
It is vitality important that the Ma
tional Army be organized this summer,
or in the early fan at the latest, and put
in training. IF the exemptions run high
the process will be prolonged. Days are
precious. We must not be slackers in
our discharge of this duty that has been
thrust upon US by world conditions.

Harrison GRAY Otis.

Gen. Harrison Gray Otis was one of
the strongest characters in the Ameri-
can newspaper field. He was identified
with journalism for many years, enter
ing it through the printers trade, as
was the case with many of his colleagues.
In his conduct of the Los Angeles Times
he was fearless and aggressive in ad-
vocacy of policies that he deemed right
and for the public welfare. He was a
patriot in the trucst sense During the
civil war he gave his services and served
with distinction. His example in 1898
at the time of the Spanish -American war
was an inspiration to the younger
Americans. Despite his advanced years
he offered himself to the government
and was accepted and served effectively
in a campaign that would have tried the
endurance of many a younger man. 1t
was characteristic of Gen. Otis to con-
tinue his work long after he had reached
a point when most men retire. Though
more than eighty he remained an active
factor in his publication office and died
virtually in harness. He was one of the
influential forces in the development of
California and leaves a record Of notable
accomplishment as citizen and soldier
and as journalist.

Peace Talk in Germany's Interest.

Organizations are asking Congress to
define the "war aims" of the United
States and to open the way to peace by
declarations Of the purposes of this gov
srnment in the war One of these or
CARNATIONS, styled the American Union
Against Militarism, favors q concurrent
resolution, not to go to the President
for signature, recognizing the declara-
tons of Russia against annexations and
punitive indemnities and of the Ger
man reichstag in favor of "peace with
out forced acquisitions of territory and
without political, economic and financial
violations"
This is an unwise, unworthy, even al
most an unpatriotic movement. 1t is
calculated, just at this juncture, to play
the German game of futile peace discus
sion for the weakening of the fighting
spirit of the people. Congress Will, of
course, pay no heed to it.
To talk of peace before the United
States has struck blow on land, before
It has organized its army which is de-
pended upon to put the finishing touch
to the campaign against Germany, be-
fore its people have been fully awak-
ened to the fact that it is engaged in
tremendous war enterprise, is to pro-
claim lack of heart in the work in
hand. Fortunately those who are thus
asking for peace definitions now are a
mere handful of well known pacifsts,
men who were opposed to the entrance
of the United States into the war and
who may be expected to hinder by their
suggestions and protests at every stage
of the campaign.
There can be no practical talk of
peace as long as Germany remains I'M
whipped. For Congress now to define
the war purposes of this government
and to suggest peace basis would be
to encourage Germany to continue to
proclaim herself willing at any time to
stop the slaughter and to charge the
allies with the barbaric, grasping,
greedy purpose of continuing to fight
until Germany is conquered and divided
among the victors. There is just this
essential difference between the two Do
sitions today, that of Germany in her
pretense that the allies want to DESTROY
her and that of the allies in their re-
fusal to talk peace at this stage: That
Germany knows that there is no design
to dismember her on the part of her
enemies, and that the allies know that
If the war is not prosecuted to a def
mite military conclusion Germany will
make use of peace to recoup her fight
ing forces in order to strike again when
she is ready and the rest of the world
is unprepared. And Germany must be
whipped to the point at which she can
not do this. Peace talk meanwhile is
ali in Germany's interest.

Politics and the War.

Gen. Pershing tries to silence gossip
associating him with political life. In
q letter to his brother he says: al am
simply a soldier. l have no political
aspirations"
Nevertheless, the gossip will persist.
The mark is tempting; for gossip, like
death, loves shining mark.
Nor will Gen Pershing be the only
mark. If American troops in numbers
now contemplated are sent to Europe.
and the war continues for several years,
other soldiers Of eminence will have a
chance to distinguish themselves in ac-
ton, get into the spotlight, and tempt
speculation about their future.
Nor Will this chance be confined to
soldiers. Sailors in high commands will
have chance, too. 1t has not yet been
determined how much of a part the navy
Will play in the war. But the navy will
! play some part; and if in the playing
glory comes that way, the sailor achiev-
| ing the glory will become a most inter.
esting figure at home.
| Still we may believe that it will be
true of others as of Gen. Pershing. Poll

foremost soldiers Of this era. Both were
cut off before full value began to at
tach to their services In connection with
the present war. And both died away
from home.
Lord Roberts had for years brought
to bear all the influence he possessed
in an effort to convince his countrymen
that they were unprepared for war, and
should prepare. But his words went for
nothing. War came, and found Eng
land without an army worthy the name.
Lord Kitchener took the case in hand,
but for a time met with nothing but op-
position. People scoffed at his predic-
ton of three years. war, and at his
proposition to train five million men
for war service.
But both men were soldiers, accepted
without Encouragement the hard knocks
they received, and held to their opinions.
Lord Roberts went to France, unoffi-
cially, to encourage the British soldiers
in the trenches there, and died from ex-
posure. Lord Kitchener was on his way
to Russia to confer with the military
authorities there when his ship went
down, and carried with her all but a
dozen of those who were on board.
But both men are remembered today
with great honor at home. Both are
reckoned as having been seers as well
as soldiers. They saw further and more
clearly than any Of their fellows, SOL
diers or statesmen. Had Lord Roberts
advice been taken in time, Lord Kitche
ner's labors would have been greatly
lightened, while had Lord Kitchener's
views been promptly accepted. Eng
land would have been at an earlier day
of much more weight on the firing line
both as an assistant and as an inspira-
ton to her allies

Kitchener.

Nothing is more unlikely than the
story that Lord Kitchener is still alive.
That his sister has accepted it and is
comforted by it is easily understood.
Her wish carries her thought. But the
story will live, and will always be asso-
ciated with the tragedy.
Take the story about Marshal Ney:
That he escaped the firing squad. fed
to America and died here from natural
causes at a great age. Although pre-
posterous, the yarn found many be-
iievers, and has become an item in the
great soldiers history.
There were people who believed that
John Wilkes Booth was not killed. but
e!uded his pursuers, and died many
years later under an assumed name, an
old man in the southwest.
