creasing activity of the German sub
marines is the loss Of trained and
experienced men. U-boats can be
turned out in series-men cannot. In
a submarine each man has the power
to lose the vessel. The Germans have
lost their best men and the new crews
lack ability and audacfty.
1t now requires several torpedoes
to sink a vessel when the men have
the nerve to attack. The allies. on
the contrary, are working with bet
ter science and method. The bright
est spot in the whole situation is that
Just when the submarine menace de-
generates into nuisance the allies
are on the verge of being prepared
for the submarine warfare as it ex-
listed in April. 1917. Hitherto we
have been unprepared. In a short
time our preparation will have been
perfected. as the material is at hand.
Until the allies occupy all the Ger
man ports sinkings will occur-acci-
dental sinkings due to the nature OF
the submarines. However, as at any
moment the Germans may attempt q
big drive against the communications
between America and Europe. 1t
would be the height of folly to relax
for one moment the preparations The
whole service in the rear depends
upon the freedom of the seas and an
open road to the world. Precious
lives and indispensable material must
not be wasted because Of slothfulness
or hesitancy in preparation.

VOLUNTEER SERVICE
TO YIELD TO DRAFT
(Coatinued from First Page.)
'U. Sworn on tho uniforms Of all
men serving in the United States Army.
When Real Damage Developed.

But the real damage which has been
done by falling to restrain volunteering
has occurred in the last few weeks.
Maj. Gen. Crowder. the provost mar
shall, has been scraping and combing
his various classes OF registrants to
get more men for class one. He ex-
pected to get at least 500, ZOO men. or
thereabouts, by reclassificltion and re-
examination of Questionnaires. But he
lost half the men he reclassified. For
as coon as many men were put in class
one, they secured a release from their
local boards and enlisted in the Navy
or Marine, Corps.
The recruiting offlces OF the last
two branches Of the service have been
maintained. however. not for the pur-
pose Of taking men within the draft
age, but those above and below the
selective service limits. AS Congress
intends to extend the draft limits.
1t Is evident that recruiting must be
regulated so as not to interfere with
the Army's plans to get man power.

Young Men Drawn to Navy.

Recruiting officers for the Navy
have been tempting many young men
by pointing out that on our warshfps
there are three square meals every
day and q roof over ones head and
better pay than the army and the
prospect Of no casualties'-at least
Army officers tell me this line Of talk
has been prevailing and that to a
large proportion OF our young citi-
zenry, especially where married men
and other features have proved at
tractive. With the age limits ex-
tended above thirty-one years the
Navy and Marine Corps would seem
especially desirable to many OF those

with the necessity Of making q deci-
sion. So far as the War Department
Is concerned, 1t leans toward abolish
Ing volunteering altogether and hopes
that the Navy win be put under the
selective service system. This would
to get as many men as he wanted Just
the same, because, for the compare
lively small number which the Navy
wants. a system Of selection to salts
fy the requirements Of the Navy and
Marine Corps could be devised. In
Marine Corps could have q part in the
manpower council that would distribute
the drafted men.
Any restriction Of volunteering,
however. would impose q new and
vital vita responsi6iiity upon the local
personnel. If the whole country is
placed OR selectfve service basis the
government would have to make sure
that its machinery is much better than
1t has today. SO that men Of technical
education and professional attain
ments would not be found washing
dishes or guarding munition plants.

If the War Department could guar

service would accomplish all that its
advocates have ever boasted that it
would do.
AS for the controversy itself. un-
questionably the demand for q re-
striction of volunteering reveals
Of Americans, young and old, to get
into the war 10 growing and our
armies might or might not have been
raised by volunteering done by pa
trtotic appeal, or the selecttve service
act has been stimulus that has made
Americans of all ages recognize their
duties and obligations.
whichever is true, the fact is that
the United States has millions of men
under arms within year OF the pas
sage of. the collective draft Law, and
those responsible for its success say
the future OF the system In menaced
by the persistence of the volunteer
system In other parts Of the war ma
chine.
Congress already has shown an In
clination to debate this. and when
both houses reconvenes II should
prove q vital part OF the discussion
over the big Army with which we are

yesterday continued the extra per

raised wages 10 per cent, doing 1t of
their own free will and not under stress.

100000 net earnings for the second
quarter of the year. after paying $50
116,250 taxes to the government for
the quarter, or at the rate Of mil

That the extra dividend was con-
