the ages of q and 80, inclusive,

gone forth to some such persons

ject of this call is merely to pro-
vide an opportunity for such per-
sons, or some one else in respect
of them to present to the Govern
ment reasons why they should
not be finally ordered to report
for military duty. If such per-
sons do not appear and present
these reasons, they have simply
neglected toHake advantage of
an opportunity that was offered
solely for heir benefit. The fail
ure of persons to take advantage
of this opportunity does not in
terfere with the raising of the

ment onlyas punishable crime of
omission. If they do not desire
to make any such claims or, if
for any other reason they fail to
appear, tleir names are auto
matically posted as having been
called andInot exempted or dis
charged. Automatically also,
they are inducted into the mill
tary service and made subject to
military law. Failure to appear
merely hastens this automatic
process.
When the time allowed for
making these claims has elapsed,
these persons Will be enrolled as
in the military service. They
will then be ordered to appear as

they will be under the swift and

Germany Hates Feminism.

There Is some interest, IL not equal
Importance, in the fact that Amer
lea. reputed throughout the world as
the land of feminism, the land of
privileged womanhood, is at war with
the country in which the claims Of
feminism are most universally and
violently detested and the claims Of
masculinism most loudly asserted
and generally accepted.
Herr Voechting wrote a book a few
years ago on THE American Cult Of
Woman," in which he congratulated
his own Germany on being safe from
the danger that was engulfing the
United States in ruin and degrade
ton. II We acknowledge the awful
Impeachment brought against US out
Of the logic of Kultur, what shall we
say on our part of that masculinism
which expresses itself among the
men Of Germany in a Mortified and
angry outcry against the "ueachery"
and "unworthiness'' of German wom-
en- in performing little acts of
kindness and humanity for the pris-
oners within the gates?
So dominant is this masculinism in
the Kaiser's empire that women
| themselves are among its stanchest
adherents. No other land could ever
make creed Of subjecting TO con-
slant insult and cruelty the helpless
and the wounded. The masculinism
Of America is of a different sort,
despite the gloating assertion of Herr
Voechting that we have sunk too
low to lay claim to anything Of such
a title. We prefer our own variety.

Every woman knows how eXas-

she is perfectly clad to go out and
meet the world she looks down and
sees a run beginning in her stock
ing. OF course, If she has time, she
changes her stockings. But suppose
she is catching a train or has a

moistens her finger and touches it to
the thread. This is sure way of
stopping the dropped stitches and
thus allows her to go along secure
and happy in the knowledge it won't
get any worse.
