Answers to vital war questions are given by Richard H. M. Robinson of Bridgeport a member of the Con- necticat State Council of Defense in 8 "Made-in-Conneticut War Inter view" made public today by the coun- cil
 When asked, "Why are. we fight ing" MT. Robinson said. ''The rea- son for our entry into the war can not be told in any clearer manner than it was in President Wilson's ad- dress to Congress when asked that a state of war be declared to exist with Germany. If there is any American who has not read that address or his answer to that question, he owes it to himself and his country to do it.''
 Why do we raise our army by se- lective conscription, he was asked, and he said, We raise our army by selective .conscription in order that the duties to be performed may be equitably distributed, as is but right in a democracy where the duties and privileges are uniform. Selective con- scriptibn consists, as I understand it, of choosing for military duty all those irrespective of rank and conditions in life, who are within the determined age limit and whose physical fitness is no favoritism and all have an equal share in the duties of citizenship
 What serious mistake of Great Brit ain does our method of raising an army avoid, MT. Robinson was asked
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-09-13

and he said: Great Britain, at the outset of the war. relied solely upon voluntary enlistments, with the result in peculiar trades, volunteered for military service. when by the exercise of selective conscription, with proper exemption. they would have been re- tained at home where their duties were more valuable fon account of their special qualifications"
 In answer to the question, What is the call of the hour to the young men of America, Mr., Robinson said:
 'T'he call of the hour to the young men of America is to serve the needs of their. country in such manner as
 will best forward her interest in this
 time of national emergency. Those
 whe have special qualifications along special lines may well do so by fol- lowing those lines, provided they con- tribute to the military strength of the country, but those who have not, (and tkis includes the greatest number of young men), must serve the .colors." Why must our men be in France at the earliest possible moment, the in- terviewer asked, and MrN Robinson said: "The man power of France has been seriously drained during
 the last three years and 1t is under stood that without replenishment from other countries such as ours. the cause for democracy as represent ed by the Allies. would be leopard isized," e#
