MANY CATHOLICS DID NOT WAIT
FOR SELECTIVE DRAFT.
Catholic Chronicle

\OotuoAC OuTOulcl0.)
Some of our separated brethren
have their lynx eyes fixed upon us in
this time of national stress in the hone
OF finding some confirmation for the
charge Of disloyalty which they have
so often preferred against us. Their
latest move was a petition addressed
to Secretary of War Baker to the eff.
feet that he investigate why it is that
a comparatively small number of Cath
olics are taken by the selective draft.
Mr.. Baker made short shrift of the
petition. He said it was not surpris.
ing that comparatively few Catholics
were taken by the selective draft. The
Catholic young men of military age
did not wait until the draft forced
them into the ranks of their country's
defenders. They voluntarily offered
their services. Fifty-two per cent of
the volunteer army are Catholics, said
Mr. Baker-The Liguorian.

week after week at the Washington
office of the committee onI war activi-

mobilization camp in the country. The
official reports of secretaries are, of

standpoint, but it is the soldiers them

by this work-who furnish the genu-

In these letters practically every phase
of the work is treated, and of these
none is more gratifying than those
which relate the great amount of spir-
itual good that is being accomplished
among those young men who, while
at home, were only Catholics of the

THE thought of going over there
has exercised a SOLDERING influence

voters have no pride in what Doctor
Holmes describes thus:
The freeman casting with unpurehased

Latin "votum," and originally a vote
means VOW or pledge. An old Roman
method of casting a vote once consist
ed in striking a spear against shield,
and from the Latin expression deScrib-
ing the resultant noise we get our word
suffrage.
Ballot" too, has an ancient origin.
The Greeks on important occasions
cast secret votes by using pebbles, and
their word has come down to our time.
A recent perusal of our newspapers,
however, will show that present-day
politicians don't stop with casting peb-
bles. They carry it to the point of
singing mud.
Anywhere in the United States one
must have lived twenty-one years be-
fore he can vote. Not so in many other
countries.
The Hun votes at twenty, but the
Austrian, in the other half of the en-

years old, and that is the minimum age
limit in a number of German states
twenty-five is also the age in HOl-
land, Belgium and Japan. Denmark is
q believer in the wisdom that comes
with age, hence no one there under
thirty can vote. English-speaking races
may vote at twenty-one.

About 100000 Belgians have each

Mr.. Stay-at-Home, failure to vote in
Belgium is punishable as a msde-

Idaho withholds the ballot from big

More than 100000 women will be

British Soldiers, Canes.

You have heard of the short yellow
knobbed cane that is carried by all
officers of the British army and very
many private soldiers? 1t is a cane
that is ubiquitous. Small fortunes
have been made out of it, yet no one
comes forward to claim it's invention.
Its price at all places is one shilling,
but its name varies. | see it billed
variously at shop doors as the army
stick, the Whangee cane, the Panama
short and the swagger cane.
The real Swagger cane, though, is
of older date, and is as a rule a short
piece of cane or other flexible ma
terial with a ferrule at each end. One

whats the answer, Leith?'
Arnold Leith turned with a guilty
start. He flushed slightly. Then he
greeted his friend, Warner Bliss, with
what under the circumstances was
positive effrontery.
"To what?" he challenged, with all
due affected innocence.
"That letter. Why, you held on to it
as if you were afraid to let it go, or
performing an incantation over it."
Nonsense !" declared Arnold, but it
was true, nevertheless. The subject
changed, he strolled a square with
Bliss and then was glad to be alone
