MYTH The certain passage Of the amendment
w to the Selective Draft Act reducing the
draft age to eighteen and raising it to forty-hve
the volunteer system upon which the United
States has heretofore depended for her army and
navy win automatically disappear Such is the
opinion expressed yesterday by the secretary OF
war The Selective Draft Act is for the period
of the only, as yet, but it seems a practical
certainty that its provisions will be made perma-
nent, or that it viii be replaced by an openly
expressed compulsory service law. And nothing
could be better.
The administration with some caution and timl-
dity, is clearly working toward this against the
purblind passion of the paciist for incompetence,
inehectuality and danger, against the pacihst be
lief in weakness and puerility" the Chicago
Tribune expresses it.
An indication Of the progress of this policy is
found in the announcement that the three branches
of the American army are to be merged into one.
Regulars national guardsmen and national army
men become men of the American army. Orders
have been issued to take the IN. c." and IN. A.
letters off the collars of American soldiers and re-
place them all with the letters of the American
regular soldier-"U. s.
This ,eeming triviality in lettering has a signih-
canoe which warrants the belief that universal
mtary service is being accepted as an admins
tration policy by the American government
1t indicates the acceptance of an American army
as a national institution pot made up by assem-
bage of incongruous parts, one maintained nor
mally for constabulary work and deluding people
into the belief that an army exists; one maintained
in fashion by the States and that fashion bad
one, and raised by extraordinary means in
national emergency.
1t indicates the creation of American army
as a national institution raised and replaced by the
operation of the just law of conscription imposing
an obligation upon physically fit men to be trained
for service and to give that service.
This new American national institution the ma
tional army raised from citizenship for the defense
of the nation, will be maintained with its equip
ment and its organization if wisdom has the ma
tion in hand. We hope 1t has.
The development and the security of the United
States, the development of its citizenship, and the
security of its citizens need this protective nation
alizing institution, and now is the time to get it
and establish it, when peoples minds are open to
conviction, when their eyes are open to facts when
they are acceptive, and when the nation has the
organization, material and equipment and to have
an army as national institution needs only to
keep them from the destructive waste of the scrap
pile and to induct young men from now on into the
beneficial processes of the military training school.

He wrote that he never knew there
was so much ice and snow and cold in

Circular No. is issued on behalf of
the Bureau of Service, National Parks

including Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand
Canyon of Arizona, Mt. Rainier, Crater
Lake, Rocky Mountain Mesa Verde
and Glacier, in each instance giving
information as to what roads are open
to each park, railroad and vehicle; the
transportation systems operating with

travellers. There are tour schedules list.

lists of publications Which may be OBJ
tanned from the government describ-

dicating that the government is be.

~ department, announces that American
division, as organized for service in France, con-
ssts of forty thousand men. But even that figure
will fail to give to the average civilian an idea
of how big thing division really is. A better
idea is conveyed by the information, officially Civ
out, that division on the march is, from the
leader to the last tail wagon, just twentyseven and
sx-tenths miles long. .....
A division without field or combat trains, just

OVERFLOW OF LAVA
LAKE IS EXPECTED
Is Now Within Thirty Feet Of Pits
Rim and Still Rising Rapidly;
Climax Probable Soon

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory
at the Volcano of Kilauea wired yester,
day that the lava lake Of Halemaumau
had risen TO within thirty feet Of the
rim of the pit; that IL was still rising
rapidly, accompanied by a similar rise
Of the whole of the massive crags and
islands within the lake, and that an
overflow of the same spectacular nature
as that of February last is now prac.
tiealy certain.
Z, 'The rise of the Volcano lake to
within thirty feet of the rim of the
Halemaumau pit, and the probability
of an overflow into the main crater
within the next few days have produced
a food Of inquiries as to just when the
actual overflow Is likely to commence >

matter of fact, this sudden rise has
come as rather surprise, although it
could have been reasonably expected
to set in at the end of the month and
eliminate at the time of equinox about
September 20.
The February Overflow
"The great rise of the early part of
this year, however, commenced on
January 4, fully a month before it was
due, and eliminated in a spectacular
flow on February 90 and for many days
thereafter. The present state Of affairs
appears to be of an almost exactly
similar type, though it is likely to cul-
inmate more rapidly. On january I the
lake was about eighty feet down, but
rose in fourteen days to within forty
feet of the rim of the pit. Thereafter
the rising was more rapid, and by Jan
uaTy 25 the lava was only fifteen feet
below the overflow point. This was
followed by a slight fall and compare {

GUARANTY ACT
TO BE PUT IN
SHAPE JULY ]
Depositors Will Be Protected
Under Law Made at the
1917 Session

The state depositor's guaranty com
mission this morning began a session
in State Examiner Waters office
which will continue for two weeks, at
the end of which time North Dakota
will be prepared to place in opera
ton its insurance for depositors in
state banks. A fund Is to be accumu-
lated by assessing all banks coming
under the law 1-20 of one per cent of
their average daily deposits until $780,
wv has been accumulated. The am
cunts so assessed remain with the
state banks, forming merely a book
credit for the guaranty commission.
Any losses sustained by depositors
through bank failures will be paid
out OF this fund. Bank failures have
been rare in recent years, and no
heavy drain is anticipated.
Examiner Waters has called in his
entire special staff of deputies who
have been engaged for several months
past in investigating state banks, and
they will report as to the condition
OF institutions applying for admission.
me guaranty act was passed by the
10 tn assembly in 1917, but no appro-
pr1atlon was made for carrying it into
effect. The special session last Jan
uary remedied this. omission, and Elk
amlner Waters this morning announc-
ed that the act will be operative be-
fore July l On which date, if not in
effect. it would automatically become
null and void. B.
