THE VOLUNTEERS!

~ dOblobduI SSCIEIdIy Vi
agriculture, said in a speech at Frank
fort:
when the war started the people
in Europe thought all they needed
was an army. Germany had a great
one; France had good one; Russia
thought she had an army; Englnd
knew she didn't hive one, but she
called to the young men They flock
ed to the colors. The colleges were
emptied and tens and hundreds of
thousands of young men who should
have been officers were privates and
were shot during the first six months.
That is the worst of the volunteer
system. which all Americans would
prefer if it were effective. The vol
uuteer often is man who. would
be worth his weight in gold because
of expert knowledge, executive abil-
ity or some other quality not needed
in the ranks. New classes of young
men eligible by reason of age and
physical condition come into exist
ence regularly. 1t is simple matter
for statistician TO sit down and fig
ure out how many will be of suitable
age next year, and the year after.
Specially trained men cannot be
counted upon as regular human
crop, the upgrowth of which is deter
mined by population. This is more
than ever true when war has disturb
cd normal educational activities. The
man who has sqWe sort of special
ability due to natural talent cannot
be counted upon as future growth.
If he is sacrificed as volunteer his
place is not easily filed, says the
Louisville Courier Journal.
The able bodied. Intelligent young
man without special education white
or black, for negroes make good sol
diers. in the matter of adaptability to
the requirements of discipline and
drill. and in point of courage in &C
tion--is as useful IN the ranks as the
man who has had four years of tech
nical training in addition to good
general education The trained man,
more sensitive to the requirements OF
the times; more readily awakened to
spirit of patriotism which is not
deferred by any personal sacrifice
may enlist while the equally useful
Young man, for the ranks, stays at
home. not because he is craven. but
because he has read little and thought
little about the war.
The selective draft principle for
which the president is laboring takes
into consideration these facts. now so
deeply impressed by the tragical
vase of valuable men, in the first
and second years of the war, by Great
britain; waste which occurred when
The English because of their blum
ders. were regarded in this country
as a nation OF slaokers. permitting the
French to bear the brunt OF the war.
Shall we commit Great Britain's
error and send to the trenches men
who should be used otherwise in
more Important capacityg Shall we
waste the sensitive trained ,nlan--
trained in college or in the farm or
in an aAiee--and allow The uninteg-
ested young man who has not con-
'dered the call of his country to re-
main where he can do the least good
or where he is not doing any good?

TEUTON THREAT
CONFERENCE OF SCANDINAVIAN
KINGS Is RESULT OF kAiSER'S
WARNING TO DANES.

London. Nov. 2S.-Fear of a Ger
man threat that she would seize a
base in Denmark should Norway per-
nit the allies to obtain base in her
territory, is reported to be behind the
conference of the three Scandinavian
kings in Christiana.
From Copenhagen two weeks ago it
wes reported the rulers Of Norway.
Sweden and Denmark with their
premiers and foreign ministers, would
meet in the Norwegian capital today.
II is disclosed now that hostility to
Germany in Norway has reached such
stage that Germany believed Nor
way was about to give aid to the
allies and to counteract such pos
sibility Germany informed Denmark
that il such step was taken Ger
many would occupy Denmark as Il
counter measure. This is said to have
brought about the recent conference
between the kings of Sweden and

day issued a general denial OF reports
that the vatican was working in the in-

Representatives Of the allied powers

sentatiyes of the United States, Great
Britain and Italy.
A basis for joint action against the

the conference, 1t is indicated, anu the

cided upon.
Although the bolsheviki apparently

their efforts toward an armistice ami
peace.
GERMAN HAND EXPOSED.
The developments more than con-

Italian Headquarters In Northern
Italy, Nov. 27.-(Delayed)-A visit
made today to the fighting ground at
| Monte Monfenera and other mountains
in the fighting zone in the north and
then to the Piave line where 1t joins
the mountain front, afforded opportun-
ity to see this central point of the
present huge struggle.
General Garibaldi, commander OF the
famous Alpine brigade. declared the
fighting had shown that the Italian
troops could hold the line beyond any
question. Speaking of the spirit OF
his men, he added: "If the enemy ever
does get past, owing to superior gen.
, eralship or superior strength OF guns,
it will be only over the dead bodies q
our troops. for they are determined
never to yield
FRESH TROOPS AT HAND.
The roads leading to the battle
front showed increasing masses OF
, troops being brought up for concen-
tration on the threatened lines. Much
artillery was coming in. The men
and horses seemed to be in good con-
dition after the hard drive. Miles OF
infantry moved forward, the ranks
showing fresh and youthful troops.
They wore steel helmets and were
getting ready to go into action.

TEUTON LOSSES HEAVY.
While the pressure Of the Austro-
German forces is still impetuous. at
the same time they seem to have been
worn down by heavy losses and the
unexpected strength of the resistance
they have encountered. This staff Of
ficer estimated the enemy losses as
fully two or three times those OF the
Italians. as the defensive line always
have afforded greater shelter.

TO EvApE PASSPORT BAN.

London. Nov. 2s.-Concerning the
proposal of T. Stauning, leader of the
Danish socialist party, for confer
ence of the socialist internationale
next month to further a general peace
an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from
Fredensborg, Denmark, says.
THE Vorwaerts of Berlin saying
that the German socialists would sup
port the proposed new international
peace conference warmly and energet-
ically as they did the unsuccessful
Stockholm conference, declares the
new conference will not be dependent
on the issuance of passports by the
entente powers. The conference, it
adds. held only for international So
cjalists. cannot allow the governments
OF states which are only apparently
democratic to deprive them of the
right to influence the peace question. ;
