Abusing Free Speech.

Before our nation enters a war it is
perfectly proper to discuss the wisdom
of going to war, but the discussion is
closed when congress acts. After
that, no one should be permitted to
cloak attacks upon his government or
aid to the enemy under the claim that
he is exercising freedom of speech. No
sympathy, therefore, will be wasted
upon those who have been arrested for
unpatriotic utterances. They abuse
free speech. And this applies to at
tacks on the Allies as we'll as to at
tacks upon the United States. We
can no more allow our allies to be
crushed than we can afford to be
crushed ourselves. The defeat of our
allies would throw the whole burden of
the war upon US. We must .stand to-
gather and fight it through. There
are only two sides to q war---every
American must be on the side of the
United States. W. Bryan.

Volunteers.

Washington, Aug. lO.-With the war
volunteers of yesterday, the regular
army was raised to its full war strength
of 300, 600. Since April LIST more than
1873, 1913 volunteers have been enlisted.
Twenty-three states filled their quotas
and twenty-five did not.
The states in the roll of honor are:
California, Colorado. Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois,
lows, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts,.
Michigan, Missouri, Montana. Nebras-
ks, Nevada, New Jersey, New York,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming. e..
Recruiting will continue, however,
without any let-up as the war depart
ment expects to keep up a steady flow
of volunteers into the reserve.

A WARNING

At a meeting Of the Woman's Com
mittee for the National Council OF
Defense, held in Des Moines, the last
of July, the following warning was
issued to young girls, with the request
that it be printed in every county pape.
in the state.
Zone of the greatest difficulties at
present is the danger of young women
drifting into Des Moines, with no idea
before leaving their home towns, as to
where they are going to go or what
they are to do after reaching the city.
After making investigation it has been
learned that there is not an unusual
demend for women employees either in
stores or offices. There might be pos
sible positions in homes where general
house work could be secured, but that
should be arranged for before young
girl comes to town. In other words, it
is not safe for young women to come
to Des Moines alone, in search of work,
unless they have written in advance to
the Secretary of the Young Women's
Christian Association, or tv the city
chairman of the Women's Committee
for National Defense, or have secured
a position through some reliable
employment bureau.
1T is our desire in Des Moines to
have the women in the towns through
out the state discourage the girls from
coming, and plead with them to remain
at home with their families and friends.
Some girls have had tragic experiences
already and the glamour of the great
cantonment in our state may lure
others to walk innocently and ignor-
antly into danger.

Webster City, State Chairman of

DRAFT TO BE BY NUMBER.
Selections for Army Probably VIII be
Made In Washington.

Regulations for drafting the new ma
tional army, now awaiting President
Wilson'S approval, contain provisions
for every step in the great undertaking
except the actual method Of the draft
itself.
No official announcement has been
made and official confirmation is being
withheld, but it has been stated, and
generally accepted as true, that the
federal government itself will do the
drafting, probably in Washington, so
there will be no opportunity for local
favoritism, political or otherwise.
AS the regulations stand now every
registered man bears a number. The
number will be forwarded to Washing
tom and the drawing will be entirely by
number. The identity of the numbered
men will be entirely unknown to those
in charge of the draft machinery and
can be established only by comparing a
number with printed list in the man ,:
home district.
As the numbers are drawn they viii
be tslegraphed to the home districts
where the registered men will learn i.
they have been drafted.
Then the question of exemption vii
come up, and this will ge before the 10
cal boards. If man is exempted, thu
man bearing the number which was
drawn next in order will take his place
and 80 on.
In this way all those available fol
service out of the ten million who reg
istered, will be made for the country Is
call, and from them the first increment
Of $4,000 will be assembled. The 9th.
ers will be called as the need develops.
Plenty Of time will be given for drafted
men to arrange their personal affairs
and report to the cantonment camps.
It is hoped to have them all In training
by Sept. or very soon thereafter.
