WHOLE NATION STtRS WITH MAS
,sIvE MOVEMENTS OF THE
DRAFT FORCES.
TOTAL Of 343,500 IN CAMP
Approximately As Per Cent of First
ca't-Task of Obtaining Supplies Is
Moving Observation-Disclosures in
IS Cantonnents.

Washington. - Marshalled for the
last time as civilians. more than 300,-
900 men of the national army assem-
bied at the local board offices and
then went forward to the Is canton
ments to be trained for the battle
against German autocracy. Their
mex move will be as fighting men to-
ward the battlefields of France.
The whole nation will be astir with
the movement Of the selective forces,
The men represent approximately As
per cent of the total quota under the
first call from each of nearly 5000 To-
cal boards. Already at the camps is
the advance guard of five per cent of
the total. composed of experienced
e including cooks. Out of this has
been created a skeleton organization
into which the second increment will
be absorbed. When the last men of
this increment arrive. the camps
will house half of the first call
forces, or 343,5O0 men. and the
other half will follow as rapidly as
quarters and equipment are made
available.
In a statement the war department
SAYS the enormous task of obtaining
equipment and supplies for the army
is moving satisfactorily. Some of the
men of the national army may be only
partially equipped for some time after
they are modified, land no attempt
will be made to furnish them with
full wal equipment until the v of
their departure for Europe. Some
civilian clothing. such as ~overcoats,
will have to be used for a time, as
the clothing industry has not as vet
caught up with its work.
Deficiency in Prospect.
With the mobilization of one-half of
the $4,000 men of the first call in
progress, the question arises as to
whether that number of men will be
sufficient to fill all units Of the ma
tional guard and national army. There
are indications that a deficiency in
men will be disclosed when official re-
ports from all the 80 training camps
are available, but no figure has been
compiled.

MORATORIUM FOR SOLDIERS
is NOW A PROBABILITY
Protect Civil and Property Rights and
Save Them From LEGAL Injustice.


Save Them From Legal Injustice.
Observation-Disclosures to protect
the civil and property rights Of sol
diers in effect a moratorium for the
duration of the war in behalf Of men
who are serving their country on the
firing line. may be placed upon the
administrations program for this ses-
sion of Congress as a necessary ele-
ment of the raising of a citizen army.
The soldiers and sailors civil
rights bill" to carry out this purpose
already has been introduced in both
houses, having been framed in the
office of Judge Advocate General
Crowder. Secretary Baker, it was
learned. has under consideration rec
concentrations that the entire weight
of administration influence be brought
to bear to obtain early enactment of
the measure.
To save soldiers and sailors from
all kinds of legal injustice during
their absence from home. the meas
ure would nejoin the carrying out OF
certain civil court actions until after
the close of the war. and establish as
legal excuse for failure to carry GER
tain contracts, the fact that a man is
in the military service.
1t is proposed that creditors suits
against officers or men may be held
up and judgment by default denied,
the trainers of the bill recognizing
that a mar in the army or navy
would have no opportunity to make
his defense in person or arrange for
its proper hearing through counsel.
If such a judgment rested against
a man at the time Of his enlistment,
the bill would prevent its execution
through the sale of his property dur
ing his absence. 1t would set aside
the statute of limitations SO that a
debt owed to a soldier might not be
outlawed in his absence it would pre-
vent the eviction of his family while
he was away if they failed to pay the
rent; it would protect him against the
ordinary results of defaulted payments
on business mortgages and keep him
from being sold out in his absence;
it would insure any rights he might
have to public lands, although his
service at the front had prevented
him from completing The legal acqui'
sition of the property.

soldiers and sailors insurance bill,

men and officers, passed the house.
The vote was 319 to 0. Representa-
tives Platt. of New York, and Hersey,

aye before the result was announced,
amid thunderOus applause.
AS the bill went to the senate, pri-
Yates and officers and their depend
ents stand on exactly the same basis.
Benefits and allowances now provided
for are slightly higher than those
originally proposed as the minimum
for privates by the committees and
considerably lower than the maximum
amounts which officers and their de-
pendents would have received.

victory in the adoption, al to II. of

$40, 900 the maximum amount of op-

ponents of the measure on the op-
tional insurance section caused sur
prise. 1T was passed over in a com
p~aratively short time after a formal
motion to strike it out had been over
whelmingly defeated.

Paying the Price

We are always paying the price for the
things we lose or gain.
Out of this life of the mingled gift Of glad
ness and of pain;
And whether we pay for pleasure or
whether we pay for sin,
1t Is always paying the price for life, no
matter where we begin.
We say we have had a lot, we've en-
joyed and we've shared in the best;
We sit sometimes with a little dream of
old content in the breast;
And then when we look away and think of
the things that were nice,
1t all comes over us, lucky or sad, that
we've had to pay the price.
The magnate pays for his. as the pauper
pays 1t. too;
And the saint pays just as the sinner does
and the unsaved have to do;
In all that we have and hold or in all that
we've thrown away.
1t Is sure in the end to come to this that
there was a price to pay.
We pay 1t for love and peace, for cheer
and comfort and song;
We pay for SHINING and going astray, we
pay 1t for doing wrong;
In all that we are or seem, In gladness or
grief or pain,
We are always paying the price for the
things that we lose or gain.

Sun.

Language Of WindmilIs.

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths. instead of being recorded In
the newspapers. are indicated by
windmills. When the miller gets mar
ried, he stops his mill with the arms
of the wheel in slanting position,
and with the sails unfurled. His
friends and guests frequently do like
wise with their mills, in Sken of the
ceremony. To indicate birth, the
wheel is stopped in a slanting posi-
ton, but at more acute angle than
that of marriage, and with the two
upper sails unfurled. Should miller
die, the sails of the mill are all un-
furled. and the wheel Is turned around
until the arms form an upright cross
lin which position they are left until
after the funeral takes place.
