THE SELECTIvE DRAFT.

tend to believe that the selective
draft is unconstitutional. An
other element, or perhaps the
same element, also pretend to
believe that the system is wholly
un-American, unwarranted and
disgraceful to our land.
AS to the latter, we would re-
mind them that the Confederacy,
during our late war, although our
country was actually invaded,
and although the country was
stirred from one end to the
other, could not depend on vol
unteers, but was compelled to
conscript an army. This was not
that there were not volunteers
and volunteers in great numbers,
but because there were then, as
there are now and as there will
always be, slackers in great
numbers, who were willing for
more patriotic men to perform
the onerous tasks of citizenship.
In such a time, not to be a vol
unteer was disgraceful, and it
naturally followed that those
who must be conscripted were
held in contempt by the other
citizens generally. Those who
would not join the good citizens
in the defense of the country
were held in contempt by all
good citizens.
We have a different case be-
fore us in the matter of this war.
The government, from the be-
ginning, said, I'VE do not ask
for volunteers; you are all men,
bers of Americas great army,
but we do not need all of you.
We shall, therefore. select from
among you men of certain age.
We select every man among you
who is over twenty-one and who
has not reached thirty-one, TO-
100000. We shall not need all
these, we shall therefore leave it
to a system of drawing as to
whom we shall select for actual
service. Certain Of you who
have been selected will be ex-
empted, and these exemptions
will be left to your home people,
officers right among you whose
acts you can supervise"
No fairer system could have
been devised. Every man has
exactly the same chance. 1t
does away absolutely with the
old cry, "A rich mans war, a
poor mans fight" for under
this system the rich man is
called right along with the poor,
and the exemptions are in favor
of the poor. eve might be al
lowed to digress to say that no.
body but a fool would call this a
rich mans war, for before our
entry, our manufacturers were
making money by the million,
not thousand, and since our en-
try, our government has taken
control, regulated and actually
fixes prices, so that their profits
are reduced to a minimum, and
more. the government takes
from the rich a very large share
of the profits made in war
taxes
Our selective system is abso-
lutely fair. 1t puts every man
absolutely on the same basis. 1t
compels every citizen to perform
his duty when he is called upon,
and it makes no one feel like a
Stacker who does not volunteer.
It makes the million heir fellow,
too tender to volunteer, too un-
accustomed to hardship, to vol
UNFAIRLY give up his life of ease
to shoulder a musket, side by
side with the man who has la
bored in the fields. That's right.
Both owe the same duty to the
country. The selective draft
system makes them both go to
war.
Sillier, if possible, is this pro-
German wall that the selective
draft law is unconstitutional. The
constitution provides for raising
armies. For what are armies

SOCIALIST PEACE CONFERENCE FIZZLES

Polish state is declared be the rea-
son for the conference.
The Poles believe. they announced in
a statement yesterday that out of the
many conferences-labor, socialistic.
and governmental--now being held, or
to be held. in Europe restatement OF
the aims of the warts inevitable. They
believe q formal declaration such as
they have in mind not only will inform
the heads OF the Polish groups in Eu-
rope as to the stand of the Poles IN
America but will be Of value for pre-
'sentation to the Representatives of the
allied European powers.
The leaders are agreed. too, that the
conference and statement of their aims
will prevent any temporary clouding OF
the Polish issue or any failure to un-
derstand the attitude of Poles in this
country or abroad.
Upon the completion Of this memor-
ial permission will be requested OF the
department Of state to forward it to
the Polish center in Paris so that the
European group may be advised OF
American Polish sentiment. It is hoped
also that the completed document may
be presented to the representatives OF
the allied powers.

the duties of a soldier, officers of the
Davenport army recruiting station will

the big parade of drafted men held in
Chicago week ago.
Sergeant James c. Hutcheson and
Corporal Robert Richtmeyer, Daven-
port army recruiting officers have Of
fered their services three nights a
week to train the drafted men. IN
structions are to be given Monday,
Wednesday and Friday nights, for one
hour each night. Some suitable vacant
lot will be secured as a training
grounds. But before the idea will be
worked out. sufficient number Of
men must report for work. Drafted men
should notify the army station imme-
diately Of their intentions to take up
the work, either by phone or by q per-
sonal visit
Sergeant Hutchinson stated that plans
would be made to hold the parade prob
ably Labor day, just before the men

many Exercising No Restraining In

Cairo. Egypt, Aug. 13.-The situa-
ton in Palestine now is the most
serious since the war began.
A scheme for the looting Of Jerusa-
lem Is already being executed, and
t1ruout the countryside the Turk mas
embarked ON a calculated policy OF
plundering and killing the native in
habitants so that if they are forced ia
Vacate the country they will leave be-
hind them desert.
The only hope that buoys them up is
that the British armies now hammer
ms at the gates OF the holy land may
soon drive out the Turks.
Forssse Partitionina.
The following statement Of the pres
ent situation is given to the Associated
Press by an official In touch with con-
ditions:
The attitude Of tho Young Turks
toward the unfortunate non Turkish
races within their empire has always
been harsh and oppressive. During the
war 1t has been an open campaign of
robbery, exploitation and massacre for
the Young Turks realizing that the
partition Of the nationalities under
their rule Is unavoidable, have deter
mHoo TO get as much as they can out
OF the Inhabitants While they are In
possession.
The stupendous wickedness in the
determination Of the Armenian nation
can not be dismissed as a. device of
~
measure aimed at one particular race,
for 1t Is the Turkish policy toward not
only Armenians butwGreeks and Jews,
in fact all people who are subjects of
the Turks but are not themselves Of
Turkish blood.
. Make Most Of Brutal Opportunities. :
while there was some prospect of
'ibeing able TO retain or even enlarge
their holdings. today. knowing them
selves doomed. it Is their calculated
policy to kill off the bulk Of the inhab-
itants OF Palestine and extort last
ounce Of money and goods from them,
so that If they are forced to vacate the
country they will leave behind them a
desert, poverty -stricken and depop-
ulated land.
Their policy is not consistent with
military or economic needs and is not
supported by oven the slenderest pre-
text for Its necessity. 1t is dictated
solely by savage brutality. The mod
tern Young Turk of tho committee OF
union and progress is an infinitely
worse tyrant than his predecessors and
all his.native savagery and blood lust
now find vent In deliberate and organ
|iized crimes, Germany has exercised
no restraining influence: indeed, II
shares largely in the Ottoman guilt"
