YOUNG MEN TO THE COLORS.

From, official Washington it is now learned that the first draft for army service will call 6S7.o00 men to arms. Twice that number will be examined for service, on the theory that fifty per cent of those presenting them selves will be exempted. The drawings will take place in the national capital just as soon as the various local boards have completed their prepar- ations for the work of examining.
 Of the total number called on the first draft, 500,0O0 men will be placed in the new National Army. The re- maining 1S70OO will be put in the ranks of the regular army and the national guard to bring these two organizations up to full war strength. When these operations have been completed the total war strength of Uncle Sans land fighting forces will be shown numerically to be we'll in excess of one million men. The sec ond draft will bring the armies up to
 l"O Illl1lOll
 It is now the duty of every man
 who registered on June to keep in
 close touch with the machinery of
 government and learn just what he
 must do in conformity with the laws of the draft. Because of the great
 labor that must take place in connec-
 tion with the examination of all the
 registered men 1t may be impossible to notify each and every individual.
 Because of this the young men be- tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one who arc eligible for army
 service are asked to respond to the draft with the same patriotism they answered the call to register.
 Every man who registered last month is presumed to be fit for ser | vice in the army, whether he is SO fitted or not. Upon his personal ex- animation before the exemption board it will be determined if he shall go nation or stay at home. If the board says he is exempt from duty he will . be given an honorable discharge 1 from duty. If the board decrees 1 otherwise he will be obliged to take | his place beside his fellow com 1 patriots in the uniform.
 That is all there is to it. There
 will be no excuse for any man not
 responding to the draft. Even if a i personal letter fails to be delivered at | his door he must step forward when 1 the time comes to answer the call ! The public press will carry all the in ! formation that is given out by the : government and the local authorities 1 This then is the period of watchful ! waiting when all young men must 1 keep their eyes open and learn what
 is taking place about them.

ment of men like Harden and a news paper like the Frankfurter zeitung will not be readily overcome. This is the same newspaper that has many times been connected with the official government as voicing it's views through the dictates of Bethmann Hollweg.
 The activities of the socialists and the social democrats in Germany have not tended to ameliorate conditions as the Kaiser and has watch-dogs would wish. Instead. these two groups have gagged in the pastime of throwing monkey -wrenches in the machinery. They have hollered for reform at the top of their lungs. They have been irrepressible. The social democrats in particular have proven a thorn in the kaiser's side. II nas been attributed to them the declaration that if single shot is fired in August revolution Will follow. This report has been wide- spread both inside and outside the empire. In a trench captured by the Canadian soldiers near Lens a letter addressed to a Bavarian soldier by a member of his family at home tells of this movement. The same letter pub lished last week in the Herald con- tains this striking paragraph:-
 "One can we'll understand that you are sick of this horrible business. l believe that the climax has been reached, for now one hears nothing but complaints. The social democrats have announced that if a single shot is fired in August revolution will fol low The situation is not good. They are on the track of the Kaiser, and if it lasts much longer it will be the end of Prussia
 This letter writer is not the only one who believes that the climax has been reached. While there is good ground for this it is not absolutely certain that the climax has been reached, or that the climax will be reached in the immediate future. We shall have to go through a week or so of August to find out. if there is any truth in the stories which have grown up around the actions of the social Democrats. There are difficulties and dissension cropping up within the realm. The Kaiser knows this; Chancellor von Hollweg knows it; various members of the Reichstag know it; the socialists know it; the social Democrats know it; and, last but not least, the German people themselves know it. It re- mains to be seen just how they will take advantage of the situation.
