Based on War Lessons.

The proposition, as laid before the
Commissioners. is based on the prac-
tees found necessary through war con-
ditions and put into practice in Eng
land and France. The census of men
and women capable of taking part in
warfare either as fighters or producers
of materials is regarded as desirable
for making certain the national re-
sources. Registry Of aliens. 1t is sug-
gested. will act as a check upon any
disposition to make trouble in the
United States.
The committee made 1t plain that a
national enrolment and registration
law. in effect similar to what is pro-
posed. had been upon the statute books
of the United States for more than a
hundred years, was advocated by Wash
ington and passed during his admin
istration. and was rescinded by the So
called Dick law" passed in 1903.
The committee submitted the follow
ing brief of the proposition for en-
rollment and registry in the District
Of Columbia
The undersigned committee re-
specially urges that. in this time of
national crisis, you take immediate
steps to have a completed census made
Of
"1) All male citizens above the age
of eighteen years residing in the Dis
trict OF Columbia who are physically
capable of performing service for ma
tional defense:
"(2) All women who will volunteer to
perform such service as they are flt-
ted for in the event of war, and
"(3) All aliens above eighteen years
journing within the District of Column

Benefits Of Measure.

I'm advocating such an enumeration.
this committee is of the opinion that
we should endeavor to profit by the ex-
perience of other nations under similar
conditions and to anticipate a step
which is indispensably necessary il the
man and woman power of the nation
is to be utilized effectively in war.
Such a measure would also act as de-
cided deterrent upon aliens who might
work harm to our country during hos
tilities.
IAN enrolment and registration sim
liar to that now advocated was pro-
vided by the organic act of May s..
1892, the purpose of which was more
effectually to provide for the national
defense, by establishing an uniform
militia throughout the United States
This law, moreover, exacted compulsory
training and service on the part OF
every free. able bodied white male citi-
zen between the ages of eighteen and
forty-fve years. Although never prop
erly enforced, 1t stood upon our statute
books until January 81. 1903. when it
was repealed by the so-called Dick
bilI,' which sought to promote the eff
fciency OF the militia.
I'm urging such a census as indicated
above, this committee is animated sole
ly by a desire to assist in expediting
a measure which it Is imperative that
the federal government take for ma
tional defense"

Termed Brothers in Arms"

Under the heading. Brothers in Arms
the Pail Mall Gazette says today of Pres
ident Wilson's speech:
The President frames the issue In
setting calculated to stir the deepest
emotions of the American people. The
Russian revolution enables him to COM
mend it to them as a conflict between
the virtues OF democracy and the crimes
of autocracy ."
America enters the war without res
ervations. Her action will be well
coined both for the substantial aid
which she will bring and for the COM
munity of spirit which she will further
among the free nations of the world.
1t Is great satisfaction to be joined
thus with the nation carrying so much
of our blood in a crusade worthy of its
best traditions and ours
