No Doubt as to Patriotism.

Advocacy of the selective draft prin-
ciple and opposition to the volunteer
method of raising an army for the
United States in the present war are not
inspired by doubt as to the courage or
the patriotism of the American citizen
On the contrary. those who urge the
draft as against volunteering fully be-
leNc that on the call for troops there
will he an outpouring of men. from all
walks of life, and Of all ages. OF the
devotion of the average American to the
country and his eagerness to serve it
i'll its hour Of need there is no question.
The selectivc draft is merely a method
of assignment of those who are willing
to go into the service. 1t interposes the
check of judgment upon the impulsive
patriotism of the people. 1t regards
every American as potentially a soldier,
and says TO the people: Not all are fit
physically. and not all can be spared J;
some must remain to do the work of
the offices, the mills and the farms, to
maintain the social organization; others
must go into the ranks; it is for the
government alone to determine who
shall be who in this army"
The country wants about 100000 men
at first in the army. composed of the regu-
lars, the militia and the newcomers not
now enrolled in either of the two exist
ing ranks 1t will count the people and
establish a system of selection. partly by
lot, partly by partition. Perhaps some
of those most eager to go will be left be-
hind. because others are chosen, or be-
cause in the Judgment of the govern
ment they will be more useful at home.
Doubtless some will be chosen who un-
der volunteer system would never pre-
sent themselves. though physically fit
and easily spared from the social and
industrial organization. In other words,
some jealous patriots will be disap-
pointed and some slackers will be draft
ed But that will not signify that all
Wis are tdheH tHc ScieCliSe ufd4l re
slaekers, or that all who are left behind
are not patriotic.
1t is to conserve the patriotism and
the zeal of the younger men of the eoun-
try tbs the selective draft system is
proposed, to insure an army Of the
greatest efficiency without reducing the
industrial strength of the country. 1t
is to bring forth the most efficient or
ganization at home and in the ranks.
Experience abroad has proved that only
by such a method can these results be
accomplished Hesitation in the face of
that experience is unreasonable. The
selective draft bill should so to its pas
sage without needless delay.

then proceeded to create a new army
to make sure that the invaders should
not come farther SOUTH Joffre's name
was always in the dispatches and the
American people grew to love him as a
fit representative of the marvellous
France that stood forth so gloriously be-
fore the world Now that Joffre has re-
tired from his active duty and has come
to America as q missioner of alliance
he is received, as have few people who
ever came across the seas, with the
heartiest and most sincere greeting of

Greater Submarine Activity.

1t is stated that twenty vessels with
carrying capacity of 100000 tons
reached an American port yesterday
from points within the submarine zone.
The simultaneous arrival of a score of
steamers suggests some concert of op-
Grafton in their dispatch and transit,
possibly q convoy. If they all return
fully laden to their respective European
ports they will score valuable victory
over the submarines, which have renewed
their activity after brief period of
comparative i'll success. The British
weekly statement of shipping losses dis
closes that during the seven days end
ing April % forty vessels of over ] 900
tons each were lost by mines or subma-
rines, and fifteen vessels under 1000
tons. The losses of a heavier tonnage
have since the 2Sth of February ranged
from thirteen to nineteen ships weekly,
and the highest number of small craft
sunk has been thirteen in one week
The advance to ffty-fve vessels in all
in one week, as against thirtyo one in the
highest week since February %, that
Of April 4, may be matter of chance,
and it may be the result of more vigor-
GUS German efforts. It is significant
that twenty-seven ships were unsuccess-
fully attacked, as against nineteen, the
previous high figure in any week. This
goes further to prove increased activity.

The Militarism Bugaboo.

From the New York Mail.
One of the most ignorant forms of
opposition to universal military service
is the belief that il would result in the
creation of vast army, constantly
ready to strike.i weapon ready at the
hand of all forces of Imperialism and
aggression. The citizen army is the one
kind Of army that cannot be used for
any such purpose.

April Chill.

Now doth the spring enthusiast
Go forth with April poEty,
In hope to find the flowers at last
In radiant frivolity.
Alas! His floral quests become
Suggestions of sheer Stiffness,
And what he'd like to find is some
Good remedy for chilliness.
Although you feel the glad desire
To wander with impunity.
You'd really rather hug the fire
In bright and snug immunity;
For if a-motoring you go,
Or travel on bicycle,
Your tire. you'll find, first thing yo
know.
