women to bring children into the

entrusted with their care and to whom
is due the punishment OF the child's

the woman who died IN giving them
birth could never have shouldered
the responsibility Of bringing them up
properly.
Nature is a queer old impersonal
thing. She cares not how unsuited

brings into the world. When they
are born her responsibility ceases.

S-What shall the first and second
class postal rates be? This includes

nittee reconsidered its vote on Satur-
day whereby a fiat tax of 5 per cent
was placed upon the net profits of

There is also a suggestion of exempt

There are two very important
amendments to be considered. One. by

WILSON CALLS
FOR RECRUITS
Wants 10000 for Regulars
to Offset Enlistment
Slump.

President Wilson yesterday called
for 1000 volunteers for the battle OF
free nations against German autoc-
racy and imperialism. He Issued 0
proclamation designating the week, OF
June $50 as recruiting week for the
regular army. II the volunteers are
not Forthcoming, II was indicated at
the War Department that the draft
will be employed to bring the regular
army to war strength.
President Wilson's proclamation fol-
lows:
IT hereby designate the period of
June % to June 30, next, as Recruit
call upon unmarried men between the
ages of IS and 10 years, who have no
dependents, and who are not engaged
in pursuits vitality necessary to the
prosecution of the war. to present
themselves for enlistment during the
WOODROW WILSON"
President Wilson's proclamation was
issued only after 1t became evident to
War Department officials that an
alarming slump In army enlistments
seemed certain to continue. The
proclamation was prepared five days
ago but held up p5s5 n hopes sserTtins
instead Of better the President acted.
The slump has been steadily worse
since registration day. Men, II would
appear, are waiting to be drafted in
stead of seizing the opportunity to
volunteer. Yesterday only LIS Joined
the coIors, es compared with an aver
age of above 1000 a day. during May.
The total recruiting since the war is
121, ,36a
The 1000 called for by the Presi-
dent are required to bring the regu-
lar forces to war strength OF 800, 900.
In addition, at least 175,00o men are
needed for the National Guard, IS 900
for the Navy and 1900 for the Marine
Corps.
The two latter organizations will
be filled by volunteer methods but
for the National Guard as we'll as
the regular army. War Department
officials are prepared to employ the
draft unless the manhood of the
country shows a greater enthusiasm
in Offering itself for the battle. This
would add at least 10000 to the num-
Der to be conscripted, making the
first draft Sc, 900 at the lowest esti-
mate, instead of 625 900, as announced
by Gen. Crowder.
President Wilson will set q date for
the draft and announce the exemp-
ton regulations within the next few
days, 1t is believed.
