ENOUGH MEN FOR PRESENT

Alarmist stories have been printed to the effect that the draft as at the present constituted will not furnish enough men for European service.
 Analysis of the official figures, however, leaves no room for doubt that the country will have at least 4,000,000 men for overseas service from the present draft; some calcu- late 5,000,O00. Especially is this true with the registering of those who be- come of age since last June.

A LOYAL CONGRESSMAN,

/ President Wilson seems to have
rather definitely settled a much moot.
ed question by his opposition to the
candidacy for reelection of Congress
man Slayden of Texas, which resulted
| in that gentleman withdrawing from
| the race. Mr.. Slayden voted for both
the CONSUMPTION Bill and the Declare
ton of War, but had a consistent anti
preparedness record and voted against
the Kahn Amendment substituting the
selective draft for the volunteer sys-
TEN in the CONSUMPTION Bill
There has been much discussion as
to whether Congressman's loyalty or
war record should be Judged accord
ing to the way he voted on the Dec
laration of War and has voted since,
or whether his opposition to ante-war
measures looking to the military eff
cheney Of the country should be count
ed against him. President Wilson ap-
pears to have answered the question.
In line with this viewpoint as to the
war fitness of Congressman the Ma
tional Security Leagues Congressional
Campaign Committee has just issued q
chart giving the record Of the votes
of all the members of the House of
Representatives In the Sixty-fOurth
and Sixty-fifth Congresses on the eight
principal preparedness and war meas
ures, from the McLemore Resolution
to the Kahn Amendment. The Securi-
ty Leagues committee analyses the
chart by individuals and by states. It
shows that Of the 374 men who sat in
both Congresses only AZ voted right
on ali eight measures; that z voted
wrong on all eight, % wrong on seven
of the measures, 80 wrong on six and
So wrong on five.
North Dakota heads the bad record
list with a percentage Of 1915 wrong
Votes. Colorado is close second with
percentage of 1912.
These figures clearly indicate that
there Is decided room for improvement
in the present constitution of Con-
gress and make an unanswerable argu-
nent for the support Of the National
Security Leagues campaign for a 100
per cent loyal Congress by All patriot,
&c citizens, irrespective Of politics.

AMERICAN BOY MAKES
FATHER A PRISONER

With the American Armies ia
France. Sept. 4.-There is a re.
markable story that has been told
here a thousand times that con-
Germs German soldier, fighting in
the German army on this part of
the front, who was captured by
his son, an American soldier.
While high officer assures me
the story is true. | have been I'M
able to verify it, because the
American soldier concerned still
is on the fighting line.
He was marching behind four
prisoners who were carrying a
litter. When they stopped to rest
one of the prisoners turned,
looked at the American soldier
and recognized his son.
Then he made a dash for the
American to take him in his arms
and embrace him. What did the
son do?
He brought his rife, with bay,
onet fixed, into position, warding
off the advancing father.
"Son?" he asked.
=" Yes, but you are Boche and
you win obey discipline. I am
fighting for America replied the
boy.
FOrty-one per cent Of the unit
to which this American soldier
belongs are of German ancestry.
Many have relatives in the Ger
man army.

EDITORIAL
REAL AUGMENTATION.

MAKE the United States q One Ian.
guage Nation" is the watchword adopt,
ed by the National Security League for
one of the great divisions of it's work,
directed by a Committee on Foreign
Language and Foreign Press This
committee is devOting its attention at
the present time toward obtaining the
elimination of the teaching of German
In the public schools of the country
and the discontinuance of newspapers
printed in German. The thought back
of this effort Of the Security League,
however, as set forth by Col. Charles
Z. Lydecker, president Of the League,
in a recent interview goes far beyond
enemy alien considerations.
ut is the duty of every citizen to
know the English tongue" says Colo
mel Lydecker. "To refuse to learn it is
to fling defiance at the nation. To neg
lect to learn 1t is voluntarily to remain
unfit for the duties Of American clti-
zenship. We are justified in expecting
open and loyal conduct, and we claim
the right to insist upon this Ameri-
canizattOn really means education. II
we educate our people properly we
shall make true Americans Of our citi-
zens of whatever blood, Americans
wise in knowledge of the principles OF
democracy and true in heart for fair
ness and generosity between men.
Great patience has been exercised in
our efforts to convince the foreigners.
In the case of those not now convinced
justice to the cause for which we fight
demands stronger measures. They
must be compelled to convince them
selves OF the value and the Justice Of
American ideas, and this requires a
knowledge of the English language"
All the arguments on that so fire.
quentay nebulous term "Americaniza-
tien" would seem to be summed up
here. What could be simpler or more
commensurate than that q man to
fully appreciate America must know
its language?

WAR TO PEACE REIMBURSEMENT
 TO BE SIMPLE

Chicago, Dec. 16.-The mlQdle vests economic readjustment from a war to a peace basis will be relatively simple compared with that of eastern states, according to officers of the Chicago Association of Commerce, who have just completed survey of business conditions. Reports from large employers indicate that virtually all returning soldiers will be given theiraold jobs and in Chicago little difficulty is expected in absorbing the excess volume of labor.
 Many eastern states manufacturers went into the intuition business on a large scale in 1914, receiving heavy orders from the Allies. New plants were erected and old ones converted. AS a result, when the Unised States entered the war, the eastern firms were prepared and during the first year received 85 percent of the gov ernment war contracts, officials of the the Chicago Association of Commerce said.
 They added that after the eastern concerns were loaded to capacity the government turned to the middle west for assistance. Chicago manufacturers with few exceptions did not expend large sums in new plants and mach inery to carry out war orders. In q
 majority of instances they continued their regular lines on a minimEm production basis and made side lire of the government work by putting on an additional force of labor and work ing day and night.
