Making the National Army,


This morning begin the examinations
of the District men called to service to
fill the local quota of 929 members of
the new National Army, five of the ex-
emption boards having issued their no
| tees in season to start the procedure
today. 1t is an anxious time for Wash
ington, notwithstanding the spirit that
animates the entire community of will
ingness and even eagerness to contrib
| ute to the fighting strength of the ma
ton in this great enterprise upon which
it has embarked Those who are eager
to serve in the ranks are concerned as
to their capacity to pass the physical
| examinations. Those who have families
dependent upon them are torn in mind
as to the propriety of claiming exemp-
ton. There may be few, a very few,
| whe are anxious to be excused, who do
not relish the prospect Of service and
are willing to adopt any expedient to
escape.
It has been estimated that anywhere
from 25 to so per cent of those exam
ined will be found deficient physically,
suffering from one of the several af-
flictions of disease or bodily structure
constituting grounds for rejection. If
the higher figure prevails it is assured
that more than the 1858 first summoned
by the boards will be needed in order
to fill the quota, for, in addition to the
so per cent rejected on physical grounds,
there will be some physically fit who
will claim and be granted exemptions
There will be first of all the aliens who
must be turned aside in any case.
Virtually the only chance, therefore,
that the 200 per cent call will fill the
local quota is that large percentage
of physical efficiency will prevail. The
average young man ought to be physical
ly qualified to do military duty. Even
those leading the sedentary lives Of
clerkship have as rule kept themselves
in good form by devotion to some sport
or exercises. We are surely not a race
of detectives. 1t is, of course, desirable
that the exemption boards should main
tain high standard. We must have
sound army. But apart from certain
structural deficiencies and organic dis
eases most of the men who 20 before
the exemption boards beginning today
could, by the regular life of camp and
training to which they will be subjected
during the next few months, be put into
fine form.
1t IS solemn process that begins to-
day, the making Of citizen army, and
one in which every citizen should be
proud to have part. These men who
are now being taken into the ranks are
soldiers Of liberty, privileged to fight
for the principles ON which America is
established and for the rights Of man.
The service means sacrifice, possibly the
supreme sacrifice, but it must ALWAYS be
borne in mind throughout these DAYS of
army making that the United States has
undertaken a task from which it cannot
withdraw short of the basest disbonor
that can ever befall a nation.

Americas War.

Secretary Lansing's frank statement
of the war objects of the United States
before the Officers Reserve Corps at
Madison Barracks. n. Y, yesterday
should be placed before every Ameri-
can citizen, especially that part in which
he said:
off any of you has the idea that we
are fighting others battles and not our
own, the sooner he gets away from that
idea the better it will be for him; the
| better it will be for all Of us. Imagine
Germany victor in Europe because the
United States remained neutral Who
then, think you, would be the next vic
| tim of those who are seeking to be mas
| tiers of the whole earthf"
1t is vitality important to get into the
minds of the American people the
thought that this is our war, that we
were forced into it by circumstances
of self-defense, and that we did not
elect to enter it in a spirit Of altruism
or out of sympathy for violated Bel
GUM, or invaded France, or Zeppelined
England, however strong that sympathy
may have been. It is our war because
Germany forced it upon us, first by out
rage on the seas and then by infdelity
to formal pledges. It is our war be-
cause Germany began it for the pur-
Ipose Of dominating other nations, not for
self-defense, not on the ground Of Of
Tended >honor, but in spirit Of con-
quest and dominion, and, as Secretary
Lansing says so pointedly and force
fully, if we had remained neutral to the
end Of this conflict and Germany had
emerged victorious we would assuredly
have been the next object of her in
trigue and her attack. We are fighting
now in circumstances most favorable to
victory. With the accumulated force of
resistance of England, France, Italy and
Russia in our favor, we are favored by
the most suspicious conditions for sue
cess. In truth, from our point of view,
those nations are fighting our battles.
Every man who goes into the ranks
should with his unif6Wh put on this
thought: That this is Americas war and
that it must be waged to a finish, and
that that finish must be victory, else
America will be Germanized.

He Wanted 1t All.

AS a child at the table
On food he would fall,
Like an oaf in a fable.
He wanted 1t all.
The world we inhabit
For him seemed too small.
He endeavored to grab it.
He wanted it all.
When Fame to attention
Some toiler would call.
He raised a dissensIon.
He wanted it all.
His life grim and lonely
Brought NORWOOD and gall.
He clutched shadows only.
He wanted 1t all.

Delta county officials agree to repair
the road from Paonia to the county
line, which needs it badly The ditch
bank road, along the Fire Mountain
Canal, which begins at the Gunnison
line, is in good condition but only ten
feet wide, and will be widened some
what this season. Evidently, Of
course, this must be widened four to
six feet. ~
At the town of Somerset, the Utah
Fuel Co. has given land for a new
road along the river bank, which will
eliminate the dangerous mine track
crossing through the center of the
place. The eight miles from Somer-
set to the junction of the Muddy and
Anthracite must be put in good shape
this summer. Much of this road was
built as poll tax assessment by the
ranchers and did not follow the grade.
Indeed, part of it was never SURVEYED.
Work will then continue as far as
possible up both the Muddy in di-
rection of Marble and up the Anthra-
cite toward the Beezley ranches in the
Crested Butte region. From the Ir-
win end, Road Commissioner Wiley
will in the meantime be building to-
ward Somerset, but snow can hardly
go from Kebler pass for several weeks
yet, so that this work will be de-
layed.
Work on Monarch pass is to bepin
soon from the Chaffee county side.
With the state and nation putting in
some 100000 to $4,000 on the mass
this year, it ought to be whipped into
as good condition as the southern
route. Wish we had part of that MON
ey to build toward Marble.
