There were 133.442 more cattle and horses, and 605, 1888 more sheep and goats using the National Forests fin 1916 than in 1915. This increase was in spite of large eIiminations of graz ing lands from the forests. It is ac- counted for by improved methods of handling the stock and by more in- innate knowledge of the forage on the ranges and their carrying capacity.

VOLUNTEER PLAN WI
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL /
Washington, April 10. - The, half
witted and the half-hearted - these
two elements on Capitol Hill now
promise to help the remnants OF Won
BenstOrff's machine to hit the
United States a deadly blow.
Somebody that understands well
the language of childhood ought to
address to these simple minds a few
kindergarten remarks, clothed in
words of one syllable and conveying
these basic facts:
The country is at war.
In this age wars are not fought as
thew were in the days of Joshua.
There has been a war on in Eu-
rope since, August 1, 1914. Most Of
the simple souls on Capitol Hill have
not heard Of this, but it can be proved
to them from records and picture
books.
In these two years and eight
months of terrific experience the ma
lions of Europe have learned many
things.
The first of these is that the old
volunteer system of raising an army
is lust as obsolete as JOshua's sword
and buCkleTs.
It will be news to the Simple Ones,
but Great Britain performed with the
volunteer system every test Of which
the mind of man can conceive and
chung to it so long as human beings
could possibly cling to anything out
worn and was finally compelled to
admit that it was No Good.
Greater efforts to secure a volun-
teer army than the British govern
ment made no government could
ever make.
It spent $1OO,OOO,OOO in newspaper
and billboard advertising. It filed
the first pages of newspapers with
the most solemn, earnest appeals. 1t

with pamphlets. It held more than
$4,000 meetings. It sent out the
ablest public speakers and most
adrOit CanVassers.
All the time from the hills of Kent
you could hear the big guns going on
the western front, and for many
months the threat of German in
vasiOn was no empty dream.
And yet the thing would not work
and the military situation went to the
bad because Great Britain had no
army worth the name.
After all these most extraordinary
experiments the following conclu-
siOns were forced upon even the most
ardent champion of voluntary enlist
ments:
The voluntary system does not
produce an army in anything like the
numbers required.
It is desperately slow; while you
are waiting and whining for enlist
ments, the enemy is advancing upon
you.
It gives you thousands of men who
are no good to you. At least One-haf
of the men who offered themselves
in Great Britain could not be made
into soldiers in two years and many
couldn't in any other length OF time.
You get thousands of other men
who would be of much greater serY-
ice at home; you strip the mines Of
miners, your factories of skilled OPP
orators and your farms of labor, be-
| cause you have no choice. You must
take these when they offer or get
nothing.
1t does no good to raise the pay Of
volunteers or to increase the separa-
ton allowance for their families.
Great Britain did that again and
again, until most families were get
ting more money from the govern
ment than they ever got from their
