With the calmness with which sanity
confronts the inevitable, the country
has gone through the ordeal of the
draft, and today nearly 10000. 900
American young men know whether
they have been selected by chance to
take an active part in the war for
peace and democracy, or they are
exempted for a time from the impend-
ing duty.
For those whose numbers were
drawn comes now another trial Some
of them will not be taken for the army.
because they are physically unfit for
service. or because the country needs
them in some other sphere-in impor-
tant labor, or as supporters and pro-
tectors of the dependent
In justice to those who have not
claimed exemption and who are ply
sicslly fit, and therefore are sure to be
sworn into the service of the United
States, IN justice also to those who
really ought to be exempted, it should
be seen to that no one who ought to
serve is released from his duty because
of friendship or pull. Someone must
take the place of such shirker; it may
be someone who really ought not to be
taken. There are few real Americans
who would let other men go in their
places unless the spirit of the republic
has suffered shameful change.
Now that the draft has been held, the
war comes home to US more vividly
than ever. We know some of those
whose numbers have been called. They
are our friends and nelghbors, msyhap
our own sons or near relatives. No
matter how light-heartedly they appear
to take the summons, no matter how
kiddingly we congratulate them, we
know that behind the laughter and the
light words sits spirit that looks bod
ingly into the future, and would, if il
could, leap ahead to the end of all this
trouble and know the worst at once.
For the most serious part of out task
is now face to face with US; and though
we feel that it is necessary, and on that
account we wouldnot avoid it, we cannot
help wishing that it were over and
done, crowned with success. Only the
greatest of issues is worth the effort
and the sacrifice that the people of
America have been called on to make,
and we can be glad that we fight for
what America has always stood for
while she has been nation justice to
all peoples, and peace founded thereon.

been returned to industry. Then the
schools encountered a new problem
What was to be done about employers
liability? Would the private corpora
tons insure against accident men who
were already handicapped by a dis
ability? The employers insisted that
they did not have to, but finally agreed,
and so every thing has been going along
smoothly.
No greater reconstructiYe work has
been accomplished in Europe than this
re-education of disabled soldiers. The
pity of it is that such practice has not
long been in vogue in peace times.
Every year hundreds of men are Grip
pied and manned in the industrial army,
often to become dependents upon their
relatives or the state, or to become
beggars. Legless and armless mendi-
cants may be found in great numbers
on the streets of every large city. In
Canada now there are more industrial
cripples than war cripples. yet the
state recognizes no responsibility to-
wards them whatsoever.
In this country it is the same. Oc-
casionally city or state or an indi-
vidual establishes an institution for
crippled children or adults, but that is
all. Perhaps Iowa offers the most BRO
gressive example in the state care of
cripples. Connected with the Uniyer-
sity Hospital of Iowa is special section
devoted to the treatment and care of
crippled and diseased children.
1t is to be hoped that the re-education
of soldier cripples will lead to the re-
education of industrial cripples when
the war is over. Already this seems to
be the idea in the establishment of the
new Red Cross institution in New York.
Every effort will be made to make the
school permanent. An investigation is
now being made to determine the var
ious advantages and difficulties of re-
turning disabled men to industry. In a
few years the New York school will
doubtless be only one of many such in
situations.

Maryland Council of Defense.

The undersigned, at the request of
General Carl R. Gray, Chairman of the
Maryland Council of Defense, have con-
sented to serve as Committee to ad-
wise and cooperate generally with the
Gamers of Maryland in their efforts to
secure the labor needed to conserve
this seasons crop of easily perishable
vegetables.
The Maryland Council of Defense
and the members of this Committee
recognize, and desire that the general
public also recognize, that this effort is
in behalf of the country and the State.
Conditions are as follows:
/. The farmer has Loyalty met the
urgent appeal of the Government to IN
crease his acreage and grow greater
crops.
2. The excess crop this year, par
ticularly of tomatoes, of which Mary
land normally supplies about half of
the country's total demand, is very
heavy. To handle it, the Gamers have
increased their equipment and supplies
of cans and cases necessary.
3. The connecting link between the
farmers and Gamers is labor. If the
labor is not found, the farmers vii
suffer great economic loss, owing to a
| gluuted market; the Gamers will be
able to pack only relatively small
proportion of the crops, and the rest
go to waste. A condition will result
seriously affecting, not only the ma
tional food supply, but the prosperity
of farmers, merchants and bankers of
| the State
a. The Gamers ordinary supply of
labor will not begin to meet their ex-
pected requirements.
This Committee, having fully saLisfi-
ed itself of the conditions as cited
above, strongly endorses the appeal be-
ing made by the Gamers for assistance
from any and every organization that
canihelp in this specific work. Some
J lcJOOO ndoibiOiini lliSl, WOtllSU anu GILL
dren above the age Of l6, are called for.
Labor is now being recruited particular
ly through the following organizations:
Boys Working Reserve-F w. Hol-
den in charge, 1904 Munsey Building.
Womens Section, Maryland Council
of Defense, and The National League
for Women's Service, 522 Park Avenue.
The response to the call for volun-
teers through these agencies, while ap-
parently generous, is as yet almostneg-
ligible compared with the thousands OF
helpers needed.
This Committee believes that such
service is of intensely patriotic anG
practical value to the country, and il
not only advises but urges all citizens
of this Commonwealth, particularly the
women and youths who are not already
employed, to make the necessary sacri.
flee, and serve country and state by
Volunteering as helpers in this canning
factory work.
