General Young Proposes Draft

MARRIED MEN ARE UNWILLING

Those Who Have Dependents Don't
Want to Fight, as a Rule. So Younger
Men Must Save the Country, as They
Did In the Civil War, He Says.

Washington.-ln signed statement
given out recently, Lieutenant General
s. B. NJ. Young, U. s. A.. commander in
chief of the military order of the Loyal
Legion of the United States and presi-
dent of the National Association For
Universal Military Training, advocated
the early drafting of youths between
nineteen and twenty-one to form the
national army.
General Young says that of the 9,6O0,-
600 men registered fully 80 per cent
of the married men have not hesitated
to walk up and claim exemption on
that ground alone, which means that
only small percentage of the married
men In the nation are willing to bear
arms in defense of It, This is con-
dition which was not only surprising,
but which is full of menace and to

Industrial Independence Essential

The wisdom OF !. William Mckinley
has been once more attested. Prior to
1890 we produced no tin plate but
depended upon Europe, just as we
have always depended upon Europe for
our dyestuffs. Mckinley believed that
the United States should make its own
tin plate, and be independent oil
Europe. He put a protective rate in
his tariff bill and Immediately we began
to build up tin plate industry
Democrats had declared that a pro-
tective duty meant higher price for
tin, but the new industry grew SO
rapidly that home competition reduced
the price. If the Democrats had been
given their way, we would still be buy
ing tin in Europe. II the Republicans
had been as wise in legislating for dyes
as they were in legislating for tin, we
would not have been Y embarrassed
when the war cut off trade with Ger
many. Never again will we place our
selves in a position where severance oil
communication with Germany will
cause US serious difficulty.

RISK OF FIGHTING MAN
NOT AS GREAT AS IMAGINED
Only One Man In Fifteen Is Killed and
One Out of 500 Loses Limb -95
Per Cent of Wounded Recover.

Washington.-Tha the deadly risk
of the fighting man is not nearly so
great as is popularity imagined is the
belief of marine corps officials here
who have compiled statistics covering
the allied losses in the war;
A careful estimate shows that only
one man in fifteen is killed and one out
of 500 loses a limb. Recent reports
from French and British hospitals
show that about 95 per cent recover
from wounds, while about 80 per cent
are able to return to the firing line
While the marine corps officials hold
unbiased views In regard to the expect
ed casualties among their own troops
in France, it is pointed out that the
soldiers of the sea- recently engaged
in warfare in Haiti suffered less than
| per cent losses. These were sus-
tanned while covering a wide terrain,
lighting from house to house and cap
turing and holding small redoubts TAX
on one by one from the enemy. This
method of warfare is said to be rapidly
superseding the trench system on the
western front.

which there can be but one answer
the young. unmarried men must save
this country even as they saved Ii in
the civil war.
After quoting statistics to show that
the bulk of the Union army was com
posed of youths under twenty-one Gen
eraI Young analyses the results of the
present draft and concludes:
After the first and second drafts
are made there will be approximately
100000 men available for purely mill
tary service who will not have been in
cluded In the first two drafts Now,
since the first and second drafts will
total about 1,374000 and experience
shows that three men are required in
reserve for each man on the firing line,
the 626000 left over from the first reg.
istration will not be adequate for even
II reserve force for the men actually on
the firing line, but will fall short of the
number which experience has proved
necessary by some 3,49d,000
BY using the comprehensive ma
chinery set up by the war department
for carrying ont the provisions of the
draft law and which is still in exist
ence and in perfect working order the
remedy which | have to propose can be
Immediately realized This remedy Is
embodied in the following amendment
to the draft law:
All male persons resident in the United
States who are nineteen years of age and
not more than thirty one years of age on
the date when this amendment shall go
into effect and who were not registered
in pursuance of the act of May Is, 1917,
shall be registered at such time and place
as the president may by proclamation d.
rect.
1t should also be provided that none
of the men affected by the law so
amended should he called for active
military service before reaching the
age of twenty-one years.
Granting that the proposed amend
ment shall be adopted by congress. the
same to go into effect June 5, 1918, a
startling and Illuminating comparison
with the figures Of the recent reSistra-
ton and draft given above is imme-
diately presented On June 3. 1918.
there would be three classes males
nineteen, twenty and tWcnty-one years
of age--aflected by this proposed
amendment. These three classes would
total 3,000.000 men and after reflections
would net approximately 100000 men
at for training for military service. In
these three classes there will be a
much smaller average percentage of
exemption than In the older classes

cent registration
