WANTS 4NTI-DR4FT
CASES DISMISSED
U. S. Governments Argument in Su-
preme Court Submitted--Right
to Send Men Overseas
Is Defended.

Washington, Dec. l0--In a brief mad,
public last night, asking the supreme
court to dismiss cases attacking the con
| stitutionality of the selective draft law
the government asserts that power con.
ferred upon Congress to declare war car.
ries with it authority to compel military
service, either at home or abroad. Com.
| pulsory draft is declared to have been a
normal method of raising armies ever
since the government was established
the legality of which has been repeated
ly upheld by the courts.
''If the argument against this law upon
constitutional grounds be not frivolous, -
says the brief, then that adjective has
lost its legal significance"
The cases now before the court include
nine appeals from Minnesota, Georgia
and Ohio, in which persons were convict
ed either of failing to register or of at.
tempting to block the operations of the
act by urging others of draft age not to
comply with it. Among the cases are
those of Emma Goldman and Alexander
Berkman, convicted in New York after
having made speeches opposing the law.
Argument on them probably will begin
tomorrow
The brief characterizes as "unfounded"
the contention that compulsory military
service is contrary to the spirit of de-
mocraey and says that while occasions
for the draft in this country have been
infrequent "it has been resorted to with
out tlinehing when the emergency rose.
''War is now not a matter of men, but
of nations" it adds. 'All of the resources
of the eombatants, human and material,
are thrown into the scale"
Replying to the contention that the
militia cannot be ordered out by the
president or sent abroad for duty, the
government says:
.'1t has long been settled under our
scheme of constitutional government and
the statutes, that the power resides in |
only one person to decide when the emer- |
gency arises which jlistifies the calling |
out Of the militia; that person is the |
chief, the president Tt is
not even for the governor of the state, |
much less a private militiaman, to say |
that the president has wrongly decided" !"

A CALL FOR HELP.

A call for help has come from the
battle front in France on behalf of
American soldiers, the soldiers of
their Allies, and of the destitute civ
ilians of devastated Belgium and
Northern France. Six million warm,
knitted wooden articles are needed to
help them get through the winter.
The appeal has come to the American
Red Cross at Washington, and it
specifies 100000 each of sweaters,
mufflers, wristlets and socks.
The call is official Major Grayson
M. P. Murphy of General Pershing's
staff, the Red Cross commissioner for
Europe, who knows better perhaps
than any other man just how badly
these things are needed, has cabled
for them. Here is part Of his mes
sage:
Last winter broke the record for
cold AMI misery anoag the people
here. We inexpressibly dread the
coming winter finding US without sup
plies to meet the situation. We urge
you, on behalf of our soldiers and
those of our Allies, who will suffer
in the frozen trenches, and also thou
sands of French and Belgian refu-
gees, to begin shipping at once L.
100000 each of the warm, knitted,
wooden articles named. They must
come before cold weather"
The entire people of the land are
called, upon to render this service to
the men in khaki, and those strug-
Cling with them The hearts OF the
people will be in the task because
their own are among those who need
the service. Every county every vii

try, and the woman who knits one of
these garments feels, with every
stitch, that it may be her own son,
her own brother, or one Of her dear
est friends, who may be kept more
comfortable by her work.
From Director John J. O'Connor OF
the Central Division of the Red Cross,
with headquarters at Chicago, the
call went forth to 1851 chapters in
the Central States, urging the mem
