The Honor Of BEING First Called

The Honor Of Being First Called
The first number drawn by Secre-
tary Baker from the glass bowl was
25S. The holders of that number
will treasure 1t all their lives. There
are Asst registration districts in the
United States and the numbers en-
rolled in district vary from about
10000 to 1856. The average is about
$1,000 But probably many more than
5000 men were numbered 258. There
are 1S9 exemption boards in this city
fore, the honor of being the first man
called will be shared by enough men,
surely, to fill three infantry regl-
ments under, our army rules. The
military experts estimate that about
one-half the number of men drafted
will be found exempt. That rule will
apply proportionately to the holders
of 25S.: Not more than 1000 of them
will be remembered by their descend
ants as a first man called for the ma
tional army under the selective draft
of 1917.
The names of the first drafted in
this neighborhood are fair indications
of the composition OF the material Sc
lected for this new army. Foreign
names dominate the list. There are
Italian, Russian, Jewish, American
names, one is probably Japanese,
there are. some German and many
Irish names, but there are old Arneri-
can names of English origin, too.
The drafted men who will be called
to the colors, however, are all Amer
lean citizens. The allies registered,
but they will be exempted from SER
vice for the present. Aliens are &C.
cepted as volunteers. Perhaps some
of the holders of the first number, in
spired by the honor it confers, may
hasten to get themselves enrolled as
volunteers while the recruiting lasts.
For it is an indisputable psychology
cal fact that to be No. 1 in anything
is stimulating to human pride. OF
course the last man called for the
national army may first reach the
nOn-com., grade and win a commission
before another year. But that posi-
bility will not reconcile him to being
last in the draft.-New York Times.

The crisis calls for real patriots.
Under the cloture rule the senate
recently adopted, after another flag
rant exhibition of pro-Germanism,
the power exists to cut off time-kill-
ing and German serving debate.
The question is whether there are
in the presumably American senate

the American army and navy win a

RESPONSIVENESS NECESSARY.

We can't fight without soldiers and
sailors-we shall, need a lot of them
in this war.
But it is probably true that for
every soldier in the field it is neces.
sary to have a man in the shop or on
the farm to provide him with the
means for carrying on the war.
Therefore, let it be known that the
men in industry, the men on the rail.

democracy safe" are doing patriotic
service
If the war continues for any con.
siderable period it will mean that a
lot of us will be compelled to change
our methods of living. our methods of
working, and our methods of saving.
1t may be necessary for some of
us to change our jobs 10 other jobs
which are more in line with produc-
ing the stuff that will help win the
war.
And it is possible that by so doing
we shall lose some of the comforts
OF life and that we shall be plunged
into the necessity of thinking in new
channels and sacrificing as we never
before dreamed we could sacrifice.
This is war! 1t is not only the
penalty of war, but better than that,

Germany is not facing America
and her allies single-handed and
alone She also has allies and

Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey all
in their way are serviceable; the
spy system is valuable.
But none of these, powerful and
dangerous as they are, can be nam

We can fight Austrian, Bulgarian
and Turkish soldiers. We can catch

handed Aida Calavera to her place at
his right hand.
II think not" she replied.
He raised his eyebrows slightly. For
q moment he glanced down the supper
table with the care of punctilious
host, to see that his guests were prop
erly seated. He addressed q few
trivialities to the musical-comedy star
who was sitting on his left. Then he
leaned once more toward the great
dancer. .i' .I.,.
"You surprise me-" he said. II
should have thought that the enter
prise would have commended itself to
you. You do not doubt the facts"
"They are obvious enough" she re-
piled. "The young man tried to tell
me that he was in love with another
woman, and felt suddenly powerless.
I think must be getting to that age
when one prefers to achieve ones con-
quests with the lifting Of finger"
The prince sighed.
II shall never understand your sex"
he declared. II should have supposed
that the slight effort Of resistance
would have provided just the necessary
stimulus"
She turned her beautiful head ana
looked at the prince through narrowed
eyes.
"After ALL" she asked, "what should
I gain? The young man is, in his way,
q splendid work Of art. Why should l
be vandal enough to destroy it? I
