raised by CONSUMPTION.
The fight in congress for the admit
nistration's selective draft measure
was won after days of bitter debate
when the house passed the bill by
vote of 397 to "a. The bill. in some
what different form, was passed later
by the senate. 81 to 8.
The house bill would draft single
men between the ages of 81 and 40
years of age, with the president hav-
Ing authority to designate which shall
be called to the colors first. The
senate measure provides for conscrip-
ting single men between q and II
years of age.
This difference in the provisions
will make it necessary for the mea,
sure to be sent to a Joint conference
OF house and senate members where
the ages prescribed will be decided
on finally.
Soldiers Pay Raised sis Month.
Provisions were struck out and in
serted in the bill in rapid action by
the house. BY unanimous vote, an
amendment was included in the house
bill to increase the pay Of enlisted
men and non-commissioned officers
in the army and in the national guard
by SIS month, making the pay Of
enlisted men $1,000 a month. This
would add about S20,000000 to the

is raised.

ANSWERING THE CALL

War brings out many of the best
traits of mankind, as we'll as the
worst-devotion to duty, patience I'M
der suffering and privation, the put
ting forth of every ounce of effort, the
exercise in the highest degree of every
faculty of mind and body, the sacrifice
Of life itself in behalf of ones ideals.
So in preparation for war it is crafty
ing to see here prompt demonstration
on so many sides of readiness to fall in
at the word of command.
For many months Captains of In
dustry have placed themselves at the
disposal of the Government. Daniel
Willard volunteers to supervise trans
portation. A dozen men whose time
and services could not be had on any
terms tender their services to aid
the Government in co-ordinating the
work of the myriad industries which
will be needed for the manufacture
of munitions of war. Already they
haye preliminary plans formulated.
Henry Ford stands ready to give the
use of his factory, employing 10000
men, without cent of profit. Great
copper magnates offer their product
at half the current market price, Men
in control of.other raw materials need
ed IN war, instead of preparing to "get
all the traffic,will, bear," are talking of
the patriotic duty of supplying the
needs ofithe nation without any profit
at all.
All this speaks well for the spirit of
our people and serves as an example OF
the unselfish :. attitude that should
animate all Ewho can give aid to the
flag thatsshelters and protects them.
No one doubted that American patriotism
would rally to the support of the Govern
ment, but it fills one with a glow of
enthusiasm to witness so many and
prompt manifestationssof it.
