The, distribution of the young men in the various fields of en- 5deavor suited for war will be carried on in this fashion. Therein is the one great excuse for the selective draft. It is not q badge, of dishonor. It Is not crime to. have been drafted in this fashion. Rather is it a safe and sane method of saving tho best that the nation can produce. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Young men are too apt to leap before they look, to leave places they are emil nently suited for in order to satisfy the inborn love of adventure and glamor and the other desirable things that go with life in the army. Tn this war the government has decided that this shall not be. Only those best suited to serve shall serve.

Three youthful zealots, two boys and a girl, were taken into custody by United States agents, the, first per sons to be arrested in connection with the propaganda aAeinst the draft bill.

In the course of the investigation that followed the arrest of the youth full trio it developed they claimed German money had been offered them, and they had refused 1t.
 The three are charged, not with . violation of the new sedition law, but with a violation of section 37 of the federal laws. which deals with con- spiracy to commit an offense against the United States. The reason for this Is that although the, three pre- pared pamphlet urging men to re- sist conscription and to refuse to reg ister the pamphlet was not circulated. Harold Content, assistant United States attorney. who made the com- plaint. says he nipped the scheme of the three youngsters by having them arrested before the document. which Is somewhat of a curiosity. could be circulated. s..ss

U-BOAT PROBLEM Is
 NOT SETTLED YET
But Conditions Are Harmful to
 Activities Of Submarines

!, Wilmington, June 5.-The sub marine problem ~has not yet been solved. No new devices thus far de- veloped have proved a successful solution. The reduction in the sub- marine sinkings, it was said. is rather due to a combination of seasonal conditions and the added dimculties confront the U-boats through the arming of merchantmen.
 Before naval guns were placed on cargo ships the submarines operated a great deal on the surfaceA using their deck guns and bombs to de- .stroy vessels. but with the arming of merchantmen the U-boats have been under the water. This means that pensive destruction by shelling and bombing, the U-boat must expend . torpedo on every vessel sunk. Since the supply of torpedoes carried by each craft is limited. this means fre- Quent returns to the base for supplies.
 Another difficulty now imposed on the submarine is seasonal in charac- ter. At this time in the North Sea the nights are comparatively short. The underwater crafts have to re- plenish their batteries by running gas engines on the surface at night. The short nights give them insufficient time, it is said, to recharge their bat teries after a long days run.
 Of course, there is an ever -increas- ing vigilance against the submarine on the part of all allied naval craft. Moreover, the art of submarine chasing by airplanes has been consid- erably expanded. But, despite this. the foregoing reasons are said to ac- count for good deal of the reported reduction in submarine sinkings

MORE ARRESTS MAY
 FOLLOW PROBE HERE
Confession From Maczka May 4ss
 Aid AntiDrait Inquiry

Although local authorities are reti- cent relative to the progress of their. Investigation into the flooding of the city with anti-draft circulars over the weekend, 1t is intimated that the arrest of Matthew Maczka of 1o4 Dwight street, veteran Connecticut company motopman, and his re-arrest by federal authorities has by no means checked the probe, with lilkli-' hood of many arrests In the future on a like charge. His arrest is con sidered to be but the beginning of activity. by local and federal authori- ties to check the distribution of reasonable propaganda along the anti-draft and anti-war lines, classi- fled as being under official ban, and even more vigorous search for those implicated. It is today intimated that damaging reports have been re- ceived from 8 number of residents that are likely to result in early arr rests. No intimation is given as to identity of those under suspicion, the reports being carefully gone over and the status of those implicated being subjected to close scrutiny. Police officials today admitted that there is likely to be sensational disclosures before the campaign of investigation is over.
 It is known that local authorities have discarded the theory that the circulars distributed were prepared and printed locally or in the state. Investigation has indicated shat bun dles of the circulars were shipped to this city by mail or express from New York. The persons responsible for shipping them have not been tdenti- fled. New York police and federal ! authorities are aiding in the investi- gation. According to the authorities, although the circulars are seemingly disguised to give the opinion of com- ing from persons of inferior intellects and fanatic socialstic ideas, people of culture, wealth and suspected high standing are considered to be the per- sons '.higher up." The authorities admit they look to a desired confes- sion from Maczka to aid them, in tracing the persons higher up." There is doubt expressed as to whether she, can ide4tjfU: Ithssn, the idea prevailing that, If he tH guilty an organization or individual made him a tool in the distribution of their propaganda.
 Generally regarded in a respected manner by his colleagues, Macska has been regarded as a person with strange ideas and theories relative to the war, European troubles and cer- ain forms of government. As with the police, the trolleymen regard him as more victim of other more highly educated persons than as directly op- posed to a federal course of conscrip- tion. How he and several others re- ceived, according to off1cia! allega- tions. bundles of the circulars through the mail is being made an object of investigation. as we'll as to the source of their being sent.
