Our Next Army

n 4 1LITARY experts are now discussing the
AVA possible necessity Of reinforcing the
present authorized strength Of the American
armies by at least 100000 men each year
that the war lasts. 1t is calculated that such
force may be required to carry forward the
campaign plans which the allied nations have
undertaken.
This again brings up the question OF addi-
tional legislation. The present selective
draft act, elastic though it is, does not con-
template an army greater than 2,000, 900 men.
1t makes no provision for another draft,
though it empowers the President to con-
tinue drawing from the present registration
enough men to maintain the field organiza-
ton at war strength For instance, II ESQ.,
900 men ere killed or manned or captured
in a year. 100000 more registrants may be
selected to fill the ranks. But no provision
has been made for registering the young men
who attain the age of twenty-one after the
present registration. 1t has been estimated
that approximately 100000 Americans
reach military age annually. If the War De-
partment, therefore. is convinced that we
should arm 100000 additional men each
year, it would seem the part of wisdom to
amend the selecuve draft act, providing for
the registration of the new class as it comes
on 1t is well-known fact that all military
authorities agree that the younger men make
the greatest soldiers. Northumberland s.
M. b. Young, United States Army, retired,
has pointed out. for instance. that in the
War Between the States there were 100000
men. on both sides, less than twenty-one
years of age. He shows further that there
were $4,000 less than seventeen years DID,
General Young urges the registration Of
all youths between the ages of nineteen and
twenty-one for possible service in this or a
future war. This Of course, comes back to
the old proposal of universal military train
ing. The success Of the selective draft sys-
tenn has impressed many doubters of the
value of universal training and, unless this
war ends in peace that has every assurance
OF permanence, we may expect such a system
IN this country. II we had entered upon it
three years ago, we would not have had to
wait year before we could organize an army
OF million or two men,

Austria and Peace

ClGNlFlCANT information has reached this
~ government concerning the desperate
state of affairs in Austria. Information which
leads to the hope that peace may yet be ac-
complished through tho collapse Of the dual
empire, or at least through the pressure
which the Austrians will apply to Germany.
1t is known in Washington that the mill
tary power of the Austrians has measurably
weakened within the past year. The sue
cess of the Italian offensive; the ease with
which Kerensky two months ago threw the
enemy back in Galicia; the mildness of the
campaign against Roumania the demoraliZa-
ton of the Bulgariaas who have been fighting
under Austrian auspices, and the inactivity
OF the invading force still holding Serbian
territory. are all indications that the fighting
spirit or the Austrian armies has lost much
OF its force. To be added to this is the
frighful economic distress Of the Austrian
people They have been isolated more effec-
lively than have the Germans Their crops
have been curtailed. Bulgaria and Turkey
nave been unable to contribute much to the
food supply of their ally. The Roumanian
crops which were seized year ago have been
exhausted These circumstances lead TO tho
conclusion that the Austro-Hungarian empire
is looking forward to another winter of suf-
tering. more acute than any which has passed.
II Germany is to maintain her military
power. she must have the support of Austria.
0. oo'tie successfully against the
"hoie world with enemies on every side OF
her Berlin has known this, and has sought
desperately to encourage the Austrians TO
continue to the finish. holding out vagina
promises Oh reward at the expense of Russia
and perhaps the Balkans. But it is becom-
Ing more certain that the German dream of
conquest and world dominion is fading from
before the eyes OF both Austrians and Hun
garians, and that the mos! the latter may
nope Tor Is peace with honor"
II is not to be doubted that Austria is the
weak SPOT in the German plans for the future.
Neither Bulgaria nor Turkey have had much
Importance in the eyes Of Berlin. These
countries might provide food and few hun
drcd thousand men. but their armies must be
Kept at home to ward off attacks from hos
tile neighbors If Austria lays down upon
Germany, however. the end Of the war will
BIO in sight.
