An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

The Kansas City Star: In the regis
tration under the Consumption Law and
the wide. subscription to the Liberty
Loan the country has glimpsed some
thing of its tremendous resources in
men and money. But 1t has only
gIimpsed them, and the full revelation
awaits a complete survey which ought
to be taken now.
We have heard much of mobilization
since the war began and have learned
that the word means considerably more
than the mere summoning OF men to
the colors. 1t means taking of stock
of the nationl resources of everything
which can, in any degree, contribute to
the strength of the nation in war. The
country ought to know-must know, in
deed, If it is to make war intelligently
Just what elements of strength it has
behind it's armies. Already the value
of such survey is recognized, so far
as it relates to industrial power, and
the Council of National Defense and its
advisory commission are now making
such an inventory. But our man power
we have only partially measured.
We have ascertained merely the num-
her of Americans deemed to be best
qualified for military service, those be-
tween the ages of 21 and 81. But why
should the government stop with that
information? Why should not the sur
yey be made complete by requiring the
registration Of Americas total man
power? Let the government ascertain
what elements of strength lie in the
country's other millions. With a full
registration. with complete information
in it's hands Of the number and cap
abilities of all citizens of all ages, the
government would be able to see ahead
and plan for whatever contingencies
the war may bring forth.
A supplementary registration of all
men from 81 upwards ought to be
taken at once and information gath
cred to show what each is capable of
contributing to the nations striking
power. Before America can impress its
enemies with its strength it must as
certain it for itself.

her greatest fields for emigration and

her greatest fields for emigration and
investment.
When Brazil broke diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany. the organs Of the
Prussian War Lords. repeated the
same stereotyped boast that Brazils
military power was wholly negligible.
I'VE shall accommodate ourselves
without worry" said one Of the gov
eminent mouthpieces.
But Germany is beginning to think
of the possibilities Of such hostility
after the war, and the difficulty of
restoring Germany's Industrial ma
chinery. Germania, the great con-
sentative organ, says in a recent edi-
torial: America raises against us an
obstacle destined to render difficult if
not impossible, economic recovery
after the war. 1t is daily becoming
more apparent that Americas en-
trance into the war really marked the
beginning of the economic war with
which the English and the other
Allies threatened u.s."
Germany is slowly coming to realize
that she will be bankrupt and friend
less when the war ends, whether she
is conquered or, not. She has not yet
reached the point of humility, how
ever, where she will admit that her
own acts had something to do with
bringing her to this condition.

lists end genuine internaionalists are
leaving the party on the grounds of
it's support of the Kaisers program.
John Spargo, one Of the five members
of the executive committee and per-
haps the best known Socialist author
in America, has already left. Allan
Benson, the candidate for the presi-
dency last fall, has announced that he
will leave as soon as the party refer
endum has definitely endorsed the ac-
ton of the recent party convention in
ST. Louis-which many Socialists have
denounced as outright treason.
In France the party is divided into
two almost equal halves, one faction
acting along the above mentioned
Russian and American" lines. The
situation in England is somewhat bet
ter as the British Labor Party an or
ganization recognized as Socialistic by
the international Socialist organiza-
ton, is pro-ally; but the two smaller
Socialist parties are violently in favor
mo annexation, no indemnities." in
accord with the plans of the German
chancellor and his encourage.
II ought not to he necessary to ex-
plain how the Kaiser has achieved
this result. This is just one more Of
the astounding successes of the Ger
man propaganda such as that achiev-
ed Dy bSFnSCOTH III Inc OHlIeQ SIdISS
and that carried on by the German
agents in Russia at the same time in
the court Of the Car and among the
anarchists. The only difference is that
q special machinery existed for the
purpose of winning foreign Socialists
for the Kaiser's use, namely, the So
called international Socialist move
ment Just as the German govern
ment exercised vast influence over
the little neighboring countries Of
Europe by military and economic
pressure, so the German Socialists
have for years dominated nearly all
the Socialist parties of Europe with
the exception of those of France and
Belgium. When the present war came
on, here was an ideal machine to be
used for the Kaiser's purposes-es-
pecially as the German and Russian
Jewish Socialists are predominating
in the United States.

THE movies" MAY BE RIGHT.

Perhaps the movies are right.
Perhaps the dangers of a big Amer
lean city, even to the girl who goes
about her affairs and seeks to avoid
unpleasant attentions, are as great as
pictured in the fiaring exposes" of
the anti vice films.
In city like Fargo the actual kid
mapping Of a girl seems almost incon-
ceivable. Temptations there are in
the city. the village or the country, but
actual and literal white slavery
seems like a myth or the basis Of a
movie" plot to the average resident of
the smaller cities of America.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, the young wo-
man attorney who has recently ex-
posed a remarkable degree of inef-
ficiency on the part of the New York
police, is giving the biggest city in
America something to think about.
Following her triumph in solving the
mystery of a young girl who had dis
appeared from her home several weeks
ago, this young woman attorney is
disclosing a condition that may lead to
the biggest shakeup in police circles
since the Rosenthal murder. She
states that 500 young girls have dis
appeared from their homes in New
York since January 1. and that no trace
of them has ever been found by their
relatives. OF these probably many
have voluntarily left, but the number
who have been actually kidnapped can
not be inconsiderable.
The yellow" newspapers and the
producers of sensational films could not
ask for better .vindication than this.

A certain little girl had only been
going to school for a few weeks when
she had her first history lesson,
brief stories about famous men and
women. These stories she greatly en-
joyed, and every day when she re-
turned home, she would tell her
mother what well known character
had been discussed in school and the
facts which she could remember about
him.

HOUSN BALKS;; WILSON FIRM
Opponents to Draft Plan, with Major.
ity In Committee as Nucleus, To
Force Fight For Volunteers
Senate win Pass Staif
Measure.

Washington, April lS-The lines
were drawn today for a great fight be-
tween the administration and oppo-
nents in the House on the plan to
raise the war army by selective draft.
While President Wilson was at the
Capitol telling senators and represen-
tatives that no compromise between
the volunteers and draft system could
be- accepted with safety to the ma
ton, the House military committee by
a vote of II to adopted amendments
to the administration bill authorizing
calls for volunteers in increments of
100000 and providing that the draft
shall be applied only in the event the
President decides that the force need
ed cannot be raised and maintained
under the volunteer plan.
Chairman Dent headed the anti
draft forces and will introduce TIE
amendments bill in the House tomoi
row, with view to pressing it fol
passage Monday. Representative
Kahn, of California, ranking Repub-
lican member of the committee, is pre-
pairing report to be signed by the
minority and will join in leading the
fight on the floor for the admiriG-
tration.
Appeal to People Possible
The Senate committee formally
voted, 10 to 7, today to report viz
tually without change the bill-as orig
inally drafted by the general staff an
approved by the President and viii
present il tomorrow. The measure
may be passed by the Senate without
waiting for action in the House.
The President made very, plain to
those with whom he talked his de-
termination to have the staff bill en-
acted. There seems no doubt that he
will appeal directly to the country if
necessary, and tell the people that in
the opinion of the military advisors
of the government as well as admin
istration officials, national safety de-
mands that the army be provided I'M
der the plan prepared by the army
experts after long study and consid-
Grafton Of lessons learned from The
war in Europe
The War Department holds that ev-
cry weakness of the volunteer sys-
tenn would be perpetual under the
House committees scheme. A feature
of the amendment providing for the
selection of officers from local units
is regarded by officers as particular
ly obnoxious to sound military pri1-
ciples. They say the task of provid-
ing competente officers under this re-
striction would be rendered ten times
more difficult and the efficiency of the
army to be built greatly reduced frcm
the very start.
