Gently arriving In France will also be
good news to the soldiers In the
training camps In the United States,
because it gives promise to the full
fIllment or their hopes for early dis
patch to France.
The predominant feeling ait all the
American camps Ia one of impatience
to be on the move toward Europe.
There can be no doubt that the rec
ommendation made by Colonel House
has had full consideration by the
war department before publicity was
given to it and that the government
has been making arrangements
looking to constant and speedy dis
patch of American troops 20 the Eu-
ropean battle fronts.
This means an acceleration OF the
movement which has been In steady
progress for some weeks past and
an exodus OF more or less extent from

be more haste In the completion of

It is the men that are most needed.
The allies are prepared to give them

there need be no delay In sending
them over.
This Ia the sum and substance OF
the report OF the American delega-

study of the needs OF the allies are
made. Coordination OF action seems
to have been arranged on q satisfac-

sons in this genteel killing method.
The value Of such instruction will
be appreciated by anyone who re-
calls the excellent use made OF jiu
jitsu by the Japanese in their war
with Russia. 1t can be applied. by
one proficient in it. whenever the
fighting comes to a personal strug-

IF you are stronger than your

FOUR MILLION, SELECTED


While Generals March. Crowder
and others entrusted in drawing the
plans to marshal the military force
OF our nation against the Huns have
nothing to do whatsoever in outlin-
ing the plans Of battle on the west
ern front. they have. by cooperating
with General Foch. made careful es-
Inmates OF just what is needed in
men. food and material to make
sure the kaiser's defeat.
America already has almost 2,0O0,-
900 sturdy sons in France. March,
Crowder and other leaders are con-
vinced that Germany. with all her
frightfuliess and boasted power. can
and will be defeated by 1000. 900
American soldiers. The aim of our
government is to have 1000, 900 Am
orleans in France by next summer.
Taking this as the required number
to crush the German armies, it will
readily be seen that only 1000, 900
men will be selected from the com
ing draft for immediate overseas du-
ty, it being generally understood, OF
course, that all camps will be kept
to their full training capacity.
Next Thursday approximately 49,
100000 men will register for mill
tary duty. From this vast number
it is reasonable to presume that the
first 100000 selected for service
on foreign soil will be men physical
ly fit In every particular-strong. OF
limb and bright OF intellect-men
superior in every respect to the
Wanted Prussian guards, and men
who later win defeat the Germans
on their own soil as did the Ameri-
cans who tore to pieces the Prussians
at Fismes.
While 1t is generally supposed
that the greater portion of the
100000 soldiers to be selected win
come from those between the ages
OF is and "a, yet many may be CALI
ed for immediate service who have
passed the 35 mark, and possibly he
yond 40. Just who will be caught
In the draft net is question Of keen
apprehension for many. However
every loyal American will be found
ready for duty when his draft num-
Der beckons him come.
There are thousands, and then
thousands. who have hesitated to en-
ter the service because they could
not go into the branch they prefer
red or secure the position they coy
eted. Apparently the chance has
passed for such men, the draft baing
the only way left The country has
in the past needed more men ready
to spring to duty, regardless of a
coveted position.
