 Washington, May 26.-By census bureau estimate today classifying the more than ten million men within the military draft age limit the number of single men is placed at 5,372.400 and the number of married men aL 4,545,900.
 The estimate was prepared on a basis of a normal increase in popula- ton since the 1910 census and on the assumption that the ratio between naried and single men is the same as at that time.
 The classification by chief occupa- tions is given as follows:
 Agriculture. forestry and, animal husbandry. 3.S64,o0o; naanufacturing and mechanical industries, 3.036,000; no gainful occupations, 00.000; trans portation, 1000; trade. 1,054.00n; public service, 144.000: domestic and personal service. 441.o00: professional. service, 335, ,00o; clerical occupations. 374;o00. and extraction of mineral. 654.000. e
 The government, 1t has been statei. will not exempt any particular classes of industry from conscription. but will deal with each individually. Indi- viduals, however, whose work h con- sidered necessary to provide an eco- homie balance will be exempted. Near ly every line of industry, 1t is said, has applied. to war. department for exemption for it's workers. Some few classificatfons are not included in the figures.

is utterly mistaken by the fact that

foodstuffs, it will not have any effect
upon the situation, as this is caused
by the exorbitant demands Of labor
for increases of pay. No one would
for a moment decry just wage. But
there is point at which wages pass
from just to unjust description.
And when the wage passes this
boundary it becomes burden upon
the whole body of producers. So
that the burden is felt in the living
cost. The men who receive the
wages bring about increases in living
cost and then they want still higher
wages.
The labor agitators-and this is
said with all respect for such labor
organizations as are acting patri-
otically-are seeking to increase the
spirit of dissatisfaction and rapacity
This is particularly true among the
unskilled forms Of labor. And no.
where more than among the farm
hands. The labor agitators are now
seeking to organize these into I'M
ions, and unless the government Is
aroused to the situation it may wake
to find the Industrial Workers OF

| ton set for making all the roGble

PAYING THE COST OF WAR.

ManV of us recollect when Prus-
s;a brought France to her knees; the
conditions Of peace she imposed
seemed to the world cruel and crush.
ing. In addition to ceding Alsace
and Lorraine to her conquerot,
France was to pay war endemnlty
of 5,OOO,OOO,00O francs, and continue
to be occupied by German troops
until the last franc was handed over.
The sum demanded was as lnlqul-
tons as it was colossal. France
couL, scarcely pay it within score
of years, and for that term would
ba condemned to groan under the
heel of her oppressor. So the world
thought; but, to the worlds amaze
ment. France had paid the last franc
and the German soldier had left her
soil within three years.
When Russia vanquished Turkey
nearly 40, years ago it was estimated
,hat her victory had cost her $725,-
OO0,OOO-at the rate of S2,l6O,0O0 a
day. All she asked Of Turkey, how
ever, was an indemnity of $780,
100000.
When Prussia beat Austria, III
1866, all that was demanded in cash
from the latter was $1O0O0,OO0. The
Chinese Indemnity paid to Japan was
s175,OOO,OOO.
When, in 1897, the Turks had the
Greeks at their mercy, a paltry $lo'
600 900 was all that Greece handed
to her conqucror, and the opium war
of 1901, ended in China paying
the trifling sum of $50 100000 to
Great Britain for the expenses of
making war on her, in addition to &c.
100000 for opium destroyed.
The Philadelphia North American
suggests that for generosity toward
conquered foe, the record OF the
! United States can't be beat. 1t was
| in 1898 that we had a little differ
| ence with Spain. Spain was, OF
course. badly beaten, and in the end
was obliged to cehe Cuba, Porto Rico,
the I.adrone Islands and the Philip
pines, an area of territory about
! three times the size of England.
But so that there should be no
soreness, America actually paid over
! $2U,COO,O0O to the Madrid govern
nent, and. more than that, returned
! all the Spanish soldiers, together
with their arms, paying the whole
! bill of transportation and other en-
penses.
This is not the first time that
Washington has been equally gener-
