The Selective Day

There is encouraging assurance in
information from Washington, to the
effect that no time is to be lost In the
registration of the first 100000 of
the men who are to constitute the
new United States Army, or the force
drafted with special reference to the
composition of the divisions that are
to take part, when drilled and equipp-
ed in the war with Germany. Time Is
one of the most important factors in
the equation. The need of expedi-
ton IN the preliminary work has been
emphasized repeatedly. While I'M
due haste in the preparation of the
new army for active services Is not
to be defended, every hour that can
properly be saved in training and
equipping on the western side of the
ocean will be so much gained on the
other side.
1t is not unreasonable to assume
the passage and approval of the ar
my draft bill, nor to take 1t for grant
ed that the Administration, especial
ly the War Department, is proceeding
upon the announcement that the law
is operative, all of the Federal agen-
cies IN the country, pOstmasters, in
ternal revenue and port collectors
Department of representatives per
haps clerks of courts, sheriffs, police
chiefs, and so on, will; 1t is under
stood, proceed with the registration
approximately 100000 men of mill
tary age from whom the first 100000
are to be promptly drafted.
The registration has been set, ten
tatively, for day late in the present
month. Ample notice will be given
to all eligibles. All ordinary excuses
for failing to register viii be accept
ed. The country is facing one of
the most serious crisis in its history.

United States force in France is ur-
gent The presence IN France of the
United States flag at the head of
United States force, for its moral eff
feet upon the Allied armies and the
Allied people, is more urgent still. 1t
may matter eventually, but it does
not matter so much now, whether the
force bearing the United States flag
in France is composed of 5000 Or of
$4,000 men. What the nations, the
peoples, and the armies that are fight
ing the battles of civilization are
yearning for, is tangible evidence of
the determination of the United
States to join them IN the struggle
and to see the enterprise through.
They are going to have this evil
dence, of course, but the sooner the
better for the good of the cause; and
while the new army is being drilled
and equipped, or as quickly as it shall
be drilled and equipped sufficiently to
insure an adequate force for home
protection, why cannot the old army,
the regulars and the guardsmen who
have seen service be dispatched? In
other words why should not the mid
die of June see the Stars and Stripes
waving over the first contingent of
the United States army on the West
ern front?

in the United States, in addition to
millions in the Allied nations, would

garded in the general appeal for a
big increase in products of the soil.
There was IN the year 1914 q market
falling off in the volume of American
farm products. The Underwood Tar
iff, which inaugurated Free-Trade in
farm products, was the cause of this
decrease of production. Immediately
following the. enactment of that Tar
if. October 8, 1913, great quantities
of farm products began to pour into
the country. Argentina, for example,
sent IN hundreds of millions of bu-
shells of corn, and the result was a
drop of seven to ten cents a bushel
in the domestic price of corn. Facing
that situation, American farmers
planted less corn in the spring of
1914. The same was true of the gen
eral range of farm foodstuffs. 1t was
not until the European war created
an unprecedented demand for our
food exports that American agricul-
ture recovered from its Free-Trade
slump.
The lesson taught by the exper-
fence Of the disastrous consequences of
Free-Trade in farm products is one
that ought not to be forgotten. Amer
lean agriculture always products most
and thrives best under Protection. 1t
always fares worst under Free Trade

but with it should go "Back to Pro

Don't Forget the Tariff Law

The business interests of this coun-
try should awaken to what foreign
manufacturers are planning for post
war conditions. 1t is practically con-
coded that Great Britain, the great
open market of the world, will impose
a Tariff on practically all manufac-
tured articles imported after the war.
Nations that have had duties are pre-
pairing to increase that tax and we
must take steps to Protect ourselves.
Already the manufacturers of this
country are receiving invitations to
establish branch factories IN England
to cope with after war readjustments
of commerce. We of course, cannot
prevent any nation from putting a
Tariff on imports in order to raise
revenue to protect its own industries
crippled by war. We have imposed
Tariffs on imports and cannot COM
plain if our best customers adopt our
methods.
But we shall have only ourselves
to blame if we stand idly by while
they not only shut US out of our mark
cts, but invade our own. Ours is the
greatest market in the world. We
should see that our manufacturers
are not at a disadvantage in their
own field. The present Tariff sched-
ules are~neither raising funds need
ed for governmental expenditure nor
are they safeguarding our own in

Fort Winfield Scott, Calf.

Dear Sister:
We were shipped out here last
Tuesday night-were two nights and
two days on the train. We had some
train, too. 331 left Fort Logan, six
teen pullman coaches and maybe you
don't think we had some time. We
stopped IN Ogden about an hour and
marched around town for exercise.
Some of us have had no drilling yet
since we came, just sat around and
sleep most of the time, dreaming
about home. Our Fort covers about
ten square miles. The vine covered
barracks are made of concrete with
red tile roofs, lawns of blue grass,
palm trees for shade. We are but a
few blocks from the car line and can
go to Frisco, If we want to. I've
been over a couple of times. Spent
last night with Pantages, it sure seem
ed like old times when there during
the fair. Part of our drill grounds
are where the Fair building once
stood. They are talking of shipping
US to the Mexican border IN day or
two.

assignment of clothes, which consists
of; one wool dress suit, two suits of
khaki; two pairs of shoes, six pairs
of white hose, one suit of blue denim,
SIX changes of underwear, one hat, two
wool shirts, two blankets and a couple
of bags to carry our clothing in.
There is a locker at the head of each

The Peoples Home Journal for

every citizen, native or naturalized
to bear in mind that the most vital
element of his or her citizenship is

tasks.' For every soldier and sailor
in uniform let there be hundred in
city, town and hamlet, boys and girls,
the old and those in life's prime who,
far from the call of the bugle or the
shouts of battle, ''stand in their lot"
as the Bible puts it, helping along the
cause for which all have enlisted
by doing well and faithfully what lies
next to their hand. The woman at
the helm in the household, the man at
the plow, the boy in the field, the
youth in the shop, the girl in the store
all can serve. This is the keynote of

The American Economist gladly
joins in urging upon the people of the
United States a general and large in
crease of food production. Our own
country. needs it, and our Allies in
the war will greatly need every pound
of food that American farm lands can
supply them. More food, by all
means, alike for patriotic and econo-
mic reasons. Appeals to this end are
going out by the hundreds of millions
IN the shape of newspaper. articles
and circulars. They all urge the vi
tai necessity of large accessions to
the present insufficient supply of farm
labor. Workers In factories are ask
ed to leave their jobs and put m a
few weeks on the farms. Summer va
cations should be spent IN helping
out the farmers. Vacant lots and
back yards IN the cities and towns
must be TILED. All this is excellent.
