The Hour Of Conseription.

The moving finger" which writes
history in these piping times viii
pause. hesitate-and, perhaps. blur
the first finely etched impressions
Of these strange. battling hours of
American psychology which come
today.
Ia cold fact we have a draft of
our youth today; in principle a
selection of the most fit from a ma
tion which has volunteered to do
its bit" in defense of democracy.
The dose has been sugared, if the
meanest-minded among US regard it
as dose; but the nation calls, and
is prepared to enforce its call with
stern measures II it be not
needed.
Strange indeed is this fluid, vola-
tile, unstable element known as
American public opinion. Even
four months ago the draft seemed
as alien to American institutions
as the divine right of-kings. To-
day we accept it with only a dis
cordant grumble heard here and
there. Britain fought conscription
for nearly two years; Canada has
not yet accepted it; Australia is
now on the verge Of acquiescing in
it. The British Empire felt the
steely impact of war for a long
time before 1t gave up Its ancient
unshaken faith in the volunteer
system.
Ths United States, with implicit
faith in one man quite unparalleled
in this nation, or perhaps in any
other modern nation. heard the
Presidents dictum, and simply
said: He must be right; he knows.
We are ready for the draft" And
SO It came about. And today about
100000 OF the flower of our young
manhood will register for service,
, awaiting a gamble of fate as to
whether they will be bayonetting
the Boche. or being bayonetted by
the Boche, a few months in the
future.
There will be few slackers. The
American air does not breed slack
ers. Our alleged apathy is a sur
face symptom. We are not blind
to the story being written in blood
across the Atlantic. We want not
a single American life to be vast
ed, or sacrificed on the altar of
mismanagement; but we are prepar-
ed to go the limit in doing our
part for the common cause.
Today is our first big test, and
we will not fail.

furnish the best answer to those who
