attitude toward us would be should
she conquer Europe.
Had we not entered the war,
Germany at the close would have
shut us from the high seas and
would lave dictated to us just as
Japan, Russia, England and Ger
many dictated to China.
The Hohenzollerns started out
to control the world, because they
believed the world would be better
under their control.
They determined to destroy Re-
tpublics, because the republican
ideal to them is blasphemous.
They are now flirting with Pol
end, but they offer the Poles not a
President but a prince or king.
Before the war the Hohenzollerns
sent a prlnceling to rule Albania.
The fool Russians are now being
coddled by Germany. 1fGermany
should beat Fraace to her knees,
the kaiser's armies would overrun
Russia and bring it into the Ger
man empire.
So you can fight to save France.
You can fight to save the liberty
of the world.
You can fight to keep free your
own institutions.
This war will command the
strength of every American and
every American dollar.

ceptaGe of the old rate OF on definite
number Of cents per hour for each

Equalization OF pay within the
trades is proposed and. II was said, the
effect would be to place all of the men
on the basis Of pay of the top men of
that trade. The actual increase for the
high men would he small, in some cases
not more than per cent. For the men
in lower ratings. the advance would be
rs per cent or more.

About 100000 of New National Army
Men Being Modified Through

QUOTA ABOUT a5 PER CENT
Railroad War Board Issues State
ment Bearing on Part Transport

Movements of Troops.
IBy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON, October 3.-About
100000 men, representing the third in
crement to the National Army. to-day
are on their way to sixteen canton-
ments. where already half the $4,000
called to the colors by the President
are mobilized. Although to-day's
quota should be 40 per cent. under
regulations promulgated by Provost
Marshal Crowder local conditions in
the various States have. reduced the
general average of the increment to
20 or % per cent.
Coincidcnt with the start of the third
division OF the new National Army for
the training camps to-day, the rail-
road war board issued n statement in
connection with the part which the rail-
roads have played in handling the big
gcst troop movement ever ATTEMPTED
in this country.
Including the National Guard. the
regular army and the new National
Army, the railroads to date have moved
approximately 100000 soldiers from
their homes to training camps or en-
barkation points," says the statement.

National Army that moved by regular
train on September 5-required special
train service, involving the use Of
$4,000 passenger cars, including $500
Pullman and tourist sleepers, 1000
baggage cars and $500 freight cars.
SPECIAL SCHEDULES
FOR 1851 TOWNS
Some slight conception of what
this problem means may be deduced
from the fnct that in the National
Army movement alone the railroads
have had to prepare special schedules
covering the 1881 towns and cities
designated by the provost ma rshal-
general as the points OF local conccn-
tration from which the recruits to the
National Army proceed to their canton
ments.
I'm addition. the special train move
ments have hal to bs SO directed as
to prevent Interruption to tho regular
passenger service.
THE longest haul made in tho new
National Army movement to date was
that of the special train which moved
tho citizen soldiers from Yuma, Ariz.,
to Fort Riley. Kans, a distance of
1.5l4 miles. This trip occupied forty
eight hours.
THE shortest distance Travelled by
any unit of the National Army was
that of the District of Columbia unit
to Camp Meade. In Maryland, a trip of
less than twenty-five miles
Practically all of the National Guard
movements to date have been of great
length. The longest one was that made
by battalion of San Francisco en-
gineers from San Francisco, Cal, to
2 point on the Atlantic coast. This
battalion included $50 men and eigh-
.een officers. They occupied a special
train, left San Francisco at p. NJ on

mat the movement OF the men to the
environments and embarxation roIpts
