A WONDERFUL RECORD.

| The promise OF the united states TO
have 100000 fighting men in France
by the end of this year will undoubt-
edly be fulfilled.
But the accomplishment of this ex-
traordinary feat will be record for
all time. 1t will establish American
efficiency above the methods Of all ma
tions, beyond even the much talked OF
German efficiency"
Consider what has been done al
ready:
The Selective Draft law was en-
acted on May IS, 1917 On June 9Th,
ten million young Americans register
ed for military service Within an
other month the camps were estab-
lshed, and in less than ten months
afterwards we had 1900, 900 men under
arms, either in the camps at home or
in actual service in France, England
and Italy.
No nation has ever raised so large
an army, and one as we'll trained and
equipped. No nation has ever had the
tremendous task of sending this army
5000 miles across the ocean.
America has seemingly done the inn
possible. Yet there is more to be done,
more that will be done. According to
official announcement, we will have
fully 100000 fighting men in France
Says a Paris dispatch:
The United States has promised
to have 100000 fighting men in
France by the end of 1918, says
LTIomme Libre, Premier Clemen-
ceau's newspaper These troops,
it adds, must have their own or
ganization and services, which
will mean at least 100000 spec
ialists. workers, men in the quar-
termaster's department and 9TH
ers.
Few have taken into consideration
that for every soldier who goes across
one or two more men must accompany
him. There must be engineers, doc
tors, dentists, druggists, laborers, rail-
road men, carpenters, and men of all
trades and capacities, as well as men
to man the guns. An army of a mil
lion and half means, therefore, prob
ably three and half million Ameri-
cans actively engaged in the various
branches of army work.
1t seems incredible that in less than
year any country could have done
what the United States has achieved in
a military way. The sum total of re-
suits is staggering, when one consid-
ers the number of camps in operation,
the number of ships converted to
transports, the number of men actually
trained soldiers, the amount of sup
plies necessary to be maintained in a
never-ceasing stream, and the great
change that has come over the life of
the American people.
The Selective Draft act has not only
been vindicated, and the patriotic
spirit of the people of this country
amply proven, but a high-water mark
has been set for efficiency.
