Why Draft
.Dodging Is
as
Dangerous

Warning against draft dodgers and
selective service slackers of every
kind in the, Forthcoming new regis
tration. the War Department fester-
day afternoon told of the straits to
which evaders Of previous drafts
have been brought by the extensive
ly organized surveillance OF the un-
patriotic.
Between 5000 and 5000 slackers
have been rounded up since June 5.
1917. The names of thousands who
fed the confines of the United States
are known to the Department OF
Justice. which has prepared indict-
ments against them that will mean
prosecution II they ever attempt to
return.
More than 5000 of these expatriated
Americans who dare not return to
their native land are in Mexico,
Stunned alike by other Americans
and the Iowliest natives, pariahs
even in exile, according to the War
Departments reports from their
agents.
The method Of rounding up slack
ers in the United States has been
through the various intelligence agen-
cies Of the government and through
occasional Stacker raids such as
that in Chicago. July II. 1918, when
800 deserters and 1000 draft delin-
uuents<were caught.
Under the terms of the selective
service act. any person who does
not submit himself to the law may be
imprisoned for one year and be regis
tered and inducted into military
service at the expiration of his i'm
prisonment, or be inducted into mil
itary service Immediately and pun
ished afterward.

HERTLING MAY BE OUT,
BUT NOBODY CARES
Primary Election on Preceding Day
Makes Difficulties.

The unofciaI report that Count Won
HertIing, the German chancellor. mas
resigned has occasioned only a ripple
of interest In Washington. for the
reason that even IL it were an es-
tabIished fact 1t is beside the main
question here. which is solely one
OF winning the war by arms and not
by diplomacy.
The sole element of interest In the
repoHed resignation is that Won
Hertling Is to be succeeded-of course
at the instance of the Kaiser-by DR.,
Solf, who, IL not a pacifist. Is cred
tied with holding II to be utter folly
to continue a war that on its face
is a lost cause The elevation OF
DR.. Solf would be merely what Sec
retarv of State Lansing In another

KERENSKY HAS
HOPE FOR NEW
RUSSIAN RULE
Former Premier Of Repub,
lie Looks to America for
Future Aid.

London. Sept. 1.-Kerensky. The
fallen hero of the Russian revolu-
tion, declared in conversation with
the writer lasting several hours that
he does. not despair regardiuE his
country's future He expects great
things from the interest displayed by
the United States In Russia, both
now and after the war. and looks
to America, for Russia's regenera-
tion.
Kerenskys extraordinary personal
magnetism explains the hold he had
upon the Russian people.
He still bears traces of the suf-
ferings he bore while wandering with
a price on his head. and physically
is far from well. But the fire OF
his enthusiasm burns as fiercely as
it did year ago.
Discusses Whole Situation.
Kerensky discussed with me pri-
vately the whole international po-
sition as it affects Russia. While
I am not authorized to quote him
on specific issues. his general at
titude Is that Russia is and must
remain q great power with a CEN
tralized government and must not
be split up into small states. through
the complete Independence Of Po-
land Is necessary.
The only way Russia can hold
up against Germany in the future.
Kerensky believes. Is to pass
through the present dark period
without dissolution. IL the enemy
succeeds under whatsoever pre-
texts. self-determination or what
not. in getting pieces of Russia
,functioning as separate states. Ker-
rensky feels the Kaiser will have
achieved his principal war aim.
Russia Holds Key.
The Western powers. with eyes fix
ed on the great battles in the West.
must not forget, Kerensky believes.
that in the East is the key to the
world situation. as Germany knows
full well.
Kerensky ascribes his own fall not
so much to factionat disputes as TO
the fact that the provisional gov
;ernment in Russia never had execu-
tive powers. had no machinery OF
government and controlled the coun-
try only by unanimous consent.
When that consent failed the situa-
ton was hopeless.
It is not possible to quote Keren-
sky's views on Intervention, but he
believes warmly in the good inten-
tions of the United States toward
Russia, He has the highest admi.
ration for the statesmanshlo Of Pres
ident Wilson.

it is supremely significant.

we were to lay down no rifle

What Is the war for? Why are
