WHY BETWEEN THE AGES OF
19 AND 25?

This question has been very fire.
quently asked 1t was asked of Sena-
tor Wadsworth, the distinguished SEN
ator from New York, and he answered
it as follows:
MIR. President, as | understand it.
there are 100000 men in the United
States between the ages of 19 and %.
That is a great many more than we
could use for long time to come.
suppose it was the policy of the gen
eral staff, who have studied this mat
ter for months and months. to select
from our male population capable Of
bearing arms the most available ma
terial, and that material which could
be drafted into the army without in
tlicting unnecessary handicaps upon
the industries of the country. They
decided apparently-and ] am dis
posed to agree with them-that be-
tween the ages of 19 and 25 young
man can be taken from his civil en-
plOyment with less disturbance to his
family or his industry than at any 9th
er age. So this bill provides that the
selective draft shall apply to the men
between 19 and 25 1t is perfectly
true that there are large numbers of
men, aged 26, 2S and 80 who are fit
to bear arms; but as We go up the
scale in age the further we go we find
the greater hardship inflicted on the
country-not only on the men but on
the country at large-if you take them
away from industrial pursuits and put
them into the army"

Extraordinary hard fighting be-
tween the Canadians and the Ger
mans has been in progress for the last
FIVE days The littl evillage of Fres-
nov. lying southeast of Lens and the
adjacent woods, is again in German
hands In the retaking of these posi-
tions. where the Canadians had stood
FOR days holding the most advanced
salient of the British lines projecting
toward DOuai. the Germans evidently
paid a terrible price. Preceded by a
heavy artillery fire in which asphyxi-
ating gas shells also were used in
large numbers. the counter attack was
launched in the early morning.
The machine gun and rifle fire of
the defenders met the Germans as
they threw themselves forward, but
they would not be denied and finally
penetrated the trenches northeast of
the village itself Their tenure of the
position however, was short-lived, for
the Canadians soon afterwards return
ed to the fray. drove the Germans out
and again held full sway
Reforming later and reinforced by
awo fresh divisions. the Germans
again made a bid for victory along
the entire front before the village and
wood The right wing of the defend
ers held steadfastly and inflicted
heavy losses on the Germans. The
left wing however. Notwithstanding
its stubborn resistance. was compelled
10 give ground. and to evacuate the
village and wood. leaving them in the
hands OF the Germans Berlin re
ports that 200 prisoners and six ma
chine guns fell into the hands of the
Germans.
There has been a continuation of
the violent fighting southwark in the
Imllecourt and Roeux sectors, but no
notable changes in positions have
been reported.

Canadians After Several Days of Hard
Fighting Are orced Out fthe Salient
in the British Line
KAISERS MEN RETAKE fREsNOY But At GREAT COST


Herbert Kaufman, in one OF his best
effusions, says:
The proudest dynasty of old China
was smashed to smithereens by a
lowly Mongol raider.
"Nurhachu, with one company of
cavalry, succeeded in thrashing tribe
after tribe until fifty thousand. war
riors rode at his heels.
These he led against the mighty
forces of the celestial kingdom and
by brilliant strategy he routed two
hundred thousand royal soldiers and
imposed the Manchu will upon the
fiabby giant of the east.
Unable to read or write he design
ed an alphabet, compiled grammar,
founded industries, organized the yel-
low horde into masterful multitude
and left immortality behind him.
HE recognized no boundaries to
possibility, and therefore found none.
Origin neither benefits the bung-
ling nor handicaps the bold
Starting places are unimpOrtant-
destinations alone count
'No estate on this earth is beyond
the reach of intrepid aspiration.
Anything that has been done can
be repeated"

 Today is practically the first day of the campaign so Juneau. Douglas. Treadwell. Thane. Perseverance,. Mendenhall and people of all other places must not delay in getting their ? bits into the Empire office.
 The ladies who are taking the in- itiative in this campaign have been busy long before the announcement appeared in The Empire and George Burford and Tom McCaul and other .obacco dealers tipped on scores of names of those who use tobacco In Ill forms and i've have you on the list" But tobacco users are not the only ones who must come through. Every little boy and girl. every man and woman must dig down and get that 9 bits.
 Who knows. perhaps your brother. your son or a very near and dear relative will be the recipient of the tobacco you send and won't 1t do you proud to know that you helped? Perhaps one of your best friends. if not a relative will receive . pouch of tobacco for their pipe or . box of cigarettes.

 Everybody on Gastineau channei is going to help the tobacco fund and also those down on Chatham Straits which is touched by the St. Nicholas; and those on the Rake route and those on all other boat runs from Juneau-they are all go- ing to help in this fund.
 And just think, after you have contributed your 2 bits. the tobacco has been sent to the boys at the
