THE CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTOR.

What shall be done with the conscien.
tious objector? 1t is a question that is
agitating good many minds these days
and little has developed as yet to shed
any light on one of the most trying prob
lens of the war The individual con-
science must be respected and protect
ed, lest the first principle of our Amer.
lean democracy be ignored. To force the
genuine objector to take up arms is not
within the limits of reason He cannot
excuse himself from engaging in agri-
cultural work on the ground that it in
directly promotes the operations of war,
for the products of the husbandman are
necessary to the sustenanee of life in
times of peace as well as war, Nor can
he plead his principles in refusing TO
serve in Red Cross activities, as some
of the notable achievements of that or
ganization were won during disasters not
borne of war.
To assign definitely the particularly
useful end which the scrupulous objector
may serve in this abnormal period is a
task to which the government must ad-
dress itself with tact and frmness. Be
cause a mans conscience will not permit
him to take up arms, either in struggle
for defensive purposes or in war of
aggression, it does not follow that he is
an anarchist, though some anarchists are
conscientious directors. Plainly the gov
eminent has duty to perform where
sincere directors are concerned and while
it is true that some persons undoubtedly
will be ready to take advantage of any
concession made in behalf of the con-
scientious objector, it is also certain that
many people will subscribe to the opin-
ion of well known American observer
who sums up the matter in the following
words:
1T is better that many slackers should
escape than that single genuine con-
science should be coerced."
That any considerable number of per-
sons will evade CONSUMPTION on this
ground is very much to be doubted. Thus
far number of our great national prob
lens have had happy way of solving
themselves and it is to be hoped that
when the case of the conscientious objec-
tor is settled there will be measure of
Justice in it for all concerned.

Medical Board.

Washington, June 24.-Application
of selective draft to provide physi-
clans and surgeons for the war armies
was urged upon the defense councils
general medical board today by Of
fiecrs of the medical section of the
New York national defense committee.
Major Karl Connell, heading the
New Workers, submitted data to prove
that out of 100000 doctors in the
United States less than one-half are
available or desirable for military SER
vice. He said the volunteer system
failed to protect local medical needs
and would result in confusion, waste
and failure.

HER PERISCOPE SHOT AWAY

An Atlantic Port, June 22.-An
American steamer which arrived here
in ballast today from British port,
had thrilling encounter on June 4
with a German submarine after the
enemy boat had fired torpedo at
her which hit but failed to explode.
The submarine was badly damaged by
the fire of the steamers gun crew and
disappeared after her periscope was
shot away.
The steamer captain saw. the wake
of the submarines torpedo and after
the impact ordered his crews to the
boats. The submarine submerged,
evidently believing that the shots had
done the intended work. The captain,

swain mates Of the gun crew remain

When the torpedo was seen to have
failed to score the crew was ordered
back from the boats and when the
submarine reappeared the bluejackets
went to the four-inch guns fore and
aft and fired rapidly. The subma-
rine, according to the captain, came
head on full speed and then stopped,
which interfered with tthe range of
the American gunners.
When 600 yards from the steamer,
the captain said, one of the shells
from the steamer hit the submarine
and she submerged. AS she came up
a second shot tore away her peri
scope and another exploded on her
turtle back.
The captain said he remained in the
vicinity of the enemy craft for two
hours, but she failed to reappear. He
said he was not certain that the sub
marine was sunk, but was certain
that her periscope was shot away and
her deck marked.
Story by Sparks"
In story written by the wireless
operator on the steamer, he said:
