to fight that the world may be made
safe for democracy, and it is built
strictly on the lines of democracy. The
millionaire and the hunblest laborei
march side by side. Officers arc
drawn from every walk of life. No
man is exempt because he is rich
None are drafted because they are
poor. Men are measured by their will
lingness of their capacity. Past, OF
caste, or creeds are not taken into
account.
Thus the selective draft has become
badge of honorable service.

rolled for military service, how within
forty-eight hours practically all reg
istraticn returns were assembled by
.elegrap here at Washington.
The 1ame process was repeated last
June, nd again last August wien
scme..-ing like $4,000 msn, the new
twonty one year olds, were enrolled;
and new the fourth registration which
congress has just authorized includes
3,C00.0 900 more, up to forty-fivo years
of age and down to eighteen. That
i viii leave the country only about five
aillion ablc-bodicd men; the rest will
DC boys and gray-heads.
At first glance the biggest thing
about TIE draft appears to be its size,
but great as that is, the numbers are
hardly as remarkable and as signifi-
cant as the fact that the people raised
their own army. Every town, city
and county nominated its best men,
and they were put in charge. No
mighty federal war machine composed
of army officers was sent from Wash
ington and intruded everywhere into
the frame work of local government.
At the capital Provost Marshal
General Crowder with force of forty
officers perfected the plans and direc-
ted the work assisted by five hundred
clerks, mostly women. The selective
draft was put into effect by thirty
thousand civilian officers and was adj
ministered by home town people,
friends and neighbors. 1t was the
finest demonstration ever made of To-
cal self-government.
AS to the cost, it is to be noted that
the bill for the draft is far less per
man than for volunteering. In 1914
it cost S24.4S for recruiting a man
into the volunteer system; in 1915 it'll
was S19.14, and for the nine months
just before we went to war it was
$2S.95. During the first year of the
war down to the seventh of April,
1918, official reports show that the
cost for registering each man was Sd
cents. The cost for each man called
was $1.69, and the cost for each man
accepted for service came ito $4.93.
The appropriations for the Provost
Marchal Generals office were &c.,
1874 ,903, and the expenditures were
$13, 054 ,634.44 and including among
its largest items the salaries of local
end district draft boards $4,210,000;
salaries of clerical assistants to dist
trict and local boards s3,9QOO00 and
$2,548,413 was spent for printing and
other expenses.

School War Activities.

Probably every school superinten

copy of the following letter from the
government urging cooperation il
things that every child can do in the
matter of helping win the. war.
poison gas was one of the first
fruits of Kulture. 1t stings, blinds
and kills. Charcoal or carbon made
from fruit pits and nut shells is used
to neutralize it. The government
needs carbon. 1t asks the boys and
girls of America to bring the pits o.
peaches, apricots, rlums, cherries and
prunes, and the shells of hickory nuts,
walnuts and butternuts.
"Give all possible publicity 90 TIE
campaign, collect the pits and shells
in central place and notify the chem
ical warfare service, Washington D. c.
They will send bills-of-lading, shin
ping instructions and bags for ship
ment"
Also the following letter ceres from
the United States commissioner OF
education at Washington.
During old Clothes Week begin
ming September 20, you are urged to
present the need through the schools
Of your locality for the collection Of
such old garments as may be made
over, and discarded or outgrown gar

need is very great. The school chill

Fourth Liberty Loan.
September 8. 1918

To All Red Cross Chapters:
Early in the summer Secretary Bak-
err announced that there were 1,200,-
600 troops in Europe. Immediately a
German war official proclaimed to the
German people that this statement of
Mr.. Bakers was not true, because it
could not be true. He said we didn't
have an army Of that size, and that if
we had it would have been impossible
for us to have sent the men to Europe
because of our lack of ships, and that
even had we boats enough to carry
them, the German submarines would
have sent them to the bottom before
they reached their ports OF destination.
He concluded this remarkable house,
tbat-Jack- built statement with che as
surance that German soldiers would
never have anything to fear from
American soldiers.
Our enemy looked on with sneers
ord jeers and contempt, followed by
fear and panic, while Democracy butt
an army. Our Allies watched with
hope and with doubt, while a ternoc-
racy turned it's citizens into soldiers
and sent the finished product to the
battle fronts of Europe.

a year ago, when between dawn and

One of the most remarkable freak

printed with ink containing phosphorus
so that the paper could be read in the

Even before the railroads were taken

were put under shipping rules, tending
TO divert short-haul traffic from the rail-
roads. The Philadelphia district COM
mittee on car service, composed OF rep
resentatives OF the three trunk lines
serving that city. as early as December

all rail shipments between points within
