autho rized the enlistment Of 10000
more men for our regular army. On
December -, 1916, the authorized
strength Of the regular army was
1862, while the actual strength
was only 1OO902. The new enlist
ments, although considerable effort
was made to secure thcn, we're not
obtained. In the national guard re-
cruiting was likewise Disappointing.
COnceding, in the circumstances
need not detail, notwithstanding
there was need for actual service ap-
pretended, there was not a fair test
of the volunteer plan, the experience
was sufficient to give rise to some
doubt that it would he wise to place
dependence upon such a plan. 1t IS
instanced that England and her col
onies raised some 100000 men by
the volunteer plan; that Canada en-
listed some 100000 under that plan;
that all of them have p-v---- ,aem-
selves soldiers Of the highest type.
These facts are cited as proofs Of the
efficacy Of the plan. 1t will be noted
that England refuses to have her
soldiers 20 to the trenches until they
have had II months of earnest train
ing.
In the first place, the strongest
possible appeals were made by Eng
land. She had the hjdeoUs desola-
ton of Belgium at her doors. Pic
lures of the treaty called q ''scrap OF
paper" were exhibited everywhere.
/ Zeppelins threatened and kindlcd a
rage which found expression in the
cry of "baby killers" Immediate
/ dangers in various directions her peO-
pie lived in the very presence Of. We
have not those conditions. Our ap-
/ peal is to democratic idealism-
! stress on "thc issue between popular
rule and military despotism."
In the case of Canada, too much
can not be said in praise of the no
! BILE, inspiring spirit her gallant sons
| displayed without even being invited

! sault ever made on democracy was

declared on thle mother country
| She heard the alarm Of her European
! brothers. She knew of violated trea-
ties. She realized the meaning OF
the position that a regular and bind
ing treaty was only a "scrap of pa

FLETCHER SPEECH
DEFINES PURPOSE
Of CONSUMPTION

The purposes of the selective draft
are so accurately defined in Senator
Fletcher's speech in defense of the
measure that we reproduce it from
the columns of the Congressional
Record:
Experienced and thoughtful people
contend that the volunteer system is
inseparable from vicious favoritism.
It's tendency is to shift the burden
from those who ought to bear it to
those who, for the good of the nation,
ought not to go into that service.
The theory of the selective draft,
which there ought to be no great
difficulty in putting into practice, is
that the men who can best be spared
viii be called; and those who have
dependents, or are needed on the
farms to produce the nations food,
or on the railroads which must be Op-
Grated to supply the means of neces-
sRry transportation, or in the faCtO-
res which we can not afford to have
closed or seriously crippled, would be
exempted. Back of universal service
is the sense of obligation to the coun-
try. The right of the government
-Slnder the powers granted by Cle con-
stitution to require such service of
the citizen, and the duty of the cit
izen in consideration of the protec-
ton and guarantees afforded him to
render such service, are perfectly
plain.
Consistent with that principle en-
tirely is the idea of exemption of
those from military service who can
be more useful to the nation else
where than in the field. The volun-
teer plan does not take into account
this idea. It does not facilitate, but
hinders, through it's lack of system
or by its operation, the proper mobil-
ization of the nations resources. Its
uncertainty and unreliability are IN
Dictated by the recent experience
abroad and at home. The former has
been frequently mentioned. As to the
latter, congress in December, 1915

Kelly sat this morning with his face

her as saying:
"Rev. Kelly wanted me to pose for
