VOLUNlEE PLAN WI
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
Washington, April is. The half
witted and the half-heaTted - these
two elements on Capitol Hill now
promise to help the remnants of Won
BernstOTff's machine to hit the
United States a deadly blow.
Somebody that understands well
the language of childhood ought to
address to these simple minds a few
kindergarten remarks, clothed in
words of one syllable and conveying
these basic facts:
The country is at war.
In this age wars are not fought as
they were in the days of Joshua.
There has been a war on in Eu-
rope since August 1, 1914. Most Of
the simple souls on Capitol Hill have
not heard of this, but it can be proved
to them from records and picture
books.
In these two years and eight
months of terrific experience the ma
lions of Europe have learned many
things.
The first Of these is that the old
volunteer system Of raising an army
is just as obsolete as Joshua's sword
and bUckIers.
It will be news to the Simple Ones,
but Great Britain performed with the
volunteer system every test of which
the mind of man can conceive and
chung to it so long as human beings
could possibly cling to anything out
worn and was finally compelled to
admit that it was No Good.
Greater efforts to secure a vOlUn-
teer army than the British govern
ment made no government could
ever make.
It spent 500, 100000 in newspaper
and billboard advertising. 1t filed
the first pages Of newspapers with
the most solemn, earnest appeals. It

with pamphlets. It held more than
$4,000 meetings. 1t sent out the
ablest public speakers and most
adrOit canYassers.
All the time from the hills Of Kent
you could hear the big guns going on .
the western front, and for many
months the threat of a German in
VasiOn was no empty dream.
And yet the thing would not work
and the military situation went to the
bad because Great Britain had no
army worth the name.
After all these most extraordinary
experiments the following cOnclu-
siOns were forced upon even the most
ardent champion of voluntary enlist
ments:
The voluntary system does not
produce an army in anything like the
numbers required.
1t is desperately slow; while you
are waiting and whining for enlist
ments, the enemy is advancing upon
you.
1t gives you thousands of men who
are no good to you. At least one-half
Of the men who offered themselves
in Great Britain could not be made
into soldiers in two years and many
couldn't in any other length of time.
You get thousands OF other men
who would be of much greater seTv-
ice at home; you strip the mines of
miners, your factories Of skilled OPP
orators and your farms of labor, be-
cause you have no choice. You must
take these when they offer or get
nothing.
It does no good to raise the pay of
volunteers or to increase the separa-
ton allowance for their families.
Great Britain did that again and
again, until most families were get
ting more money from the govern
ment than they ever got from their

suicide was that Of Edwin Carlson, a
bachelor about 35 years of age, resid-
ing at his brother Anton's homestead
seven miles due east of Parshall. That
morning Anton left on a hunting trip
and hired man went out to do the
barn work, leaving Edwin alone in the
shack. 1t has two rooms. Going into
that used for sleeping, he used a
razor to cut the veins and arteries in
both wrists, then plunged an S-inch
butcher knife into the pit of his stom-
ach. He was dead when discovered.
1t was about noon when the brother
returned and broke in the door of the
room, that had been locked from the
inside by the suicide. Aside from a
question asked that morning by Edwin
as to the whereabouts in the body of
the heart, nothing in his speech or ac-
tons can be recalled to show he was
mentally unbalanced. No cause that
would prompt the suicide to his horri-
BILE deed is known.
The Carlson brothers were we'll

leased and operated the big farm with
the good buildings on it a mile this
