The Era-leader. [volume] (Franklinton, La.) 1910-current, 1917-05-24

Washington, May 18.-Presi'
dent Wilson tonight ordered that
a adiyision of regular troops COM
msnded by Major General, John
perishing be sent to France at
the earliest practicable date.
This is the answer of America
to frances plea that the Stars
and Stripes be carried to the
fighting front without delay, to
hearten the soldiers battling
there with concrete evidence that
powerful ally has come to their
support against German aggres'
sion.
Announcement of the order
followed signing Of the selective
draft war army bill by the Presl-
dent and the issuance of a state
ment that under advice of military
experts on both sides of the water
the President could not employ
volunteers nor avail himself Of
the i'fine yigor and enthusiasm
of former President Roosevelt for
the expedition.
The army law provides for an
Ultimate force of approximately
100000 men to back up the first
troops to go to the front. When
the bill had been signed, the
President affixed his name to a
proclamation calling upon all
men fin the country between the
ages Of 21 to 80, inclusive, to reg
ister themselves for military SER
eice on June 5, next. The proc
lamation sets in motion immedi-
ately machinery that will enroll
and. sift 100000 men and pave
the way for the selection of the
first 100000 young, efficient SOL
diers without crippling the in.
dustries or commerce of the ma
ton or bringing hardship on
those at home.
Even before the bill was sign
cd, the War Department announc-
ed that the full strength Of the
National Guard would be drafted
into the United States army be
ginning June ID and concluding G
Angust5. Orders to bring the
regiments to full war strength
Immediately accompanied the
notification sent to all governors
A minimum of $4,000 fighting
men will be brought to the colors
under those orders, supplements
ing the 293,00o regulars who will
be under arms by June Is.
1t is from these forces that the
first armies to join General Per.
shing at the front will be drawn
to be followed within a few
months by recurring waves from
the selective draft armies, the
first 100000 of whom will b.
mobilized September /.
Following is the text of thu
terse announcement of the Wa
H department. as to General Per
ahing's expedition.
The President has directed al
aspeditionary force of approx
faasely one division of regula
troops, under command of Gen
eral John ], Pershing, to procee,
y France at as early a date a
practicable. General Pershin,
and staff will preoede the troop
abroad.

tary Baker from the Southern
Department, which was under
his command until tonight's or.
der was issued.
No inkling Of the plans for that
division have been allowed to
leak out. 1t is known, however.
that orders already have gone
forward to officers of tried judge
ment and long experience, notify
ing them to prepare for foreign
service.
The number Of men in the ex-
peditionary force has not been
disclosed. A division at war
strength, however, totals more
than $4,000 of all arms and the
"approximate' division of the
War Departments statement
probably will exceed that figure.

IRISH FISHERIES.

London, May 1S.-(By MaiD-Inquiry
is being made in Ireland by Lord Des-
borough's committee as 10 the possibll-
ity of increasing the supply of salmon.
trout and coarse fish from Irish lakes
and rivers. During the last twenty-fivs
years Irish salmon and trout fisheries
have been much neglected and the best
of them are at present in anything but
satisfactory condition. There Is a
prospect, owing to the comparatively
better condition of the coarse fisheries,
of increasing the supply of cells, pike
and perch from such waters as Loughs
Neagh, Erne. Corrib and others. The
railway facilities. for the transport Of
fish in the north of Ireland, are very
good but not so satisfactory in the
south and west.

cided that they should get together.
Committees upon union were appointed,
and proceedings went forward for a
time The project, however, has prac-
tically died Of inertia. The people .of
neither church were eager for it. The
leaders, very sensibly. did not care to
run ahead Of the sentiment of their
constituencies and so. for the time, the
scheme lies quiescent.
Clearly, though, the old spirit of sec
tarianism which used TO be rife in
America, especially in rural parts. IS
dead or dying. Preachers no longer
try 10 get crowds by preaching against
other denominations. The average
church member moves with remarkable
freedom from one church and one de-
nomination to another as he changes
his residence. He is not greatly inter
ested in general ecclesiastical opera
tions. His denominational allegiance is
not nearly as strong as that Of his faith
ers.
On the other hand. local cooperation
among Christians and churches Is
steadily and rapidly increasing. Many
look upon this as more important than
general church reunion at the present
time This is being stressed by such
bodies as the Commission on Federated
Agencies of the Federal Council of the
Churches OF Christ in America. When
the units come together the whole bod
les cannot stay apart.
So the program for church union in
many quarters is that each denomina-
tions shall busy itself about its own
work and about the promotion Of its
own efficiency, that it may be stripped
to its fighting strength for the present
crisis in the world. Good will in COM
mon service draws people together bet
ter than any legislative enactment.
