We trust the War Department will re-
consider its plan 10 distinguish the National
Guard from the draft army by lettered in
sigma. The letters y. G.. have acquired a
slang significance that might we'll bar them
as designations for American soldiers, even
though interviewer with tie initials U. S. At
any rate, it seems only justice that the drafted
men should be put as nearly as possible upon

no thought OF the war in Europe The
records in the department would appear to
be a sufficient guide for any reorganization
that may be necessary after the conclusion

If General Pershing had any any real
enemies in America they could not njure
him more than by the suggestion that he
be nominated for the presidency in 1920.
Only his good sense in putting his foot down
hard upon such boom could have saved
him from a serious loss of prestige from
this ill-timed agitation OF his fool friends.
Such a proceeding nearly wrecked Admiral
Dewey's standing even after he had shown
real heroism, and il would be tragedy in

Pershing is eXpecred 10 win in Europe.

Democracy of the Draft

NJ o longer do we hear the sullen complaint
Y that this is rich mans which the
poor man must fight. few people may still
believe this to be true, but vast majority
OF Americans know that the selective con-
scription system has placed every man be-
tween the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one
upon common level. and that exactly the
same liability which rests upon one rests
upon the other And the examination OF
men for military service has proceeded. we
find that in practice well in theory
the draft vindicates itself. But the plutocrat
has done more than subject himself or his
to CONSUMPTION. He has volunteered for
service, and has placed his fortune as we'll
as his life at the disposal Of the govern
ment This does not mean that every rich
man rich mans has done some
patriotic thing There are slackers among
the wealthy just there slackers on
the New York East Side. in the remote cor
ners OF Oklahoma and few other places
But it speaks we'll for country when Ogden
l.. Mills resigns his seat In the New York
Senate to go to France. when Vincent Astor
enlists as private in the naval reserve.
when Cornelius Vanderbilt marches forth at
the head of regiment. when Herold Wander
bilt goes into the navy as an enlisted man.
when Marshall Field Is sergeant in a
cavalry regiment. when son OF ]. p.
Morgan and two sons of Henry P. Dawson,
Morgans partner. are in the service.
These are wholesome facts. They are re-
assuring facts. They remove large measure
Of distrust to the democracy of this war.
Many people OF humble means had assumed
that tho rich man would buy his discharge.
They did 1t in the Civil War. 1t was feared
that tho burdens OF sorrow would be borne
by unfavored classes. But this is not to he.
There are class distinctions, from a mill
tary standpoint. All men are equal In their
| obligation to service. and all men will be
| called upon to make equal sacrifices.
Already the wealth Of the country has con-
| tributed handsomely toward war financing
