ALIEN DRAFT CONVENTION.

That the alien draft convention be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States will intensity rather than re-
tard British and Canadian recruiting
in this country is the opinion expressed
by Cen W. A. White in a statement
made public at the headquarters in Chi
cago, western division, Br!tish,Canadian
recruiting mission.
THE main point is that British or
Canadian subjects in this country
General Whites statement asserts,
cannot possibly escape liability to sery'
ice in the war"
Instead of being exempt from con-
scrlption OF any sort he now becomes
much more liable to service than the
American.
The age limit for conscription in this
case extends from twenty to forty
years This is perfectly fair arrange.
meut for it compels every man who
claims British citizenship TO place him
self on practically the same footing as
his fellow countrymen at home, and
surely citizenship should carry with 1t
Obligations as well as advantages.
british subjects will of course, have
the same chances of exemption on ap-
pilcatiou to the ambassador as British
citizens at home For the first time
British citizens are placed on footing
Of equality the world over. and the Brit
Usher has ample opportunity to serve
in the forces Of his own country, for ne
will have sixty days after congress
passes the necessary legislation to en-
list in the British or Canadian forces
and he will be doing better work by
enlisting at once rather than waiting
sixty days.
What we need at present is man
power. If the Britisher enlists with
us he can get quickly to Europe and
he made effective much sooner than If
he waits few weeks longer for the
draft. Don't know what the actual
addition to the American draft on ac-
count of this convention will be? Some
reports show that there are 100000 Brit
i-hers in America of draft age II
twenty-five per cent of that number
having failed to enlist or get exempted
are taken in the draft there is an addi'
ton Of 10000 men to the American
draft, but no real increase of allied man
mower. since those Briushors viii simply
take the place of an equal number OF
Americans. II on the contrary these
men enlist in the British and Canadian
armies that means an immediate and
positive increase of man power

INSURED FIGHTERS.

War risk insurance has been advo-
Gated chiefly as matter Of justice to
the soldiers families. Viewed in that
light alone, it is an admirable institu'
ton, incomparably better than our old
pension system. But it has another
merit which is brought into deserved
prominence by General Scott, command-
er of a division at Camp Dix, n. j.
This military insurance, says General
Scott, will be one OF the greatest fac
tors in creating an unconquerable
morale among our troops as they go 10
the fighting zone. insured men" he
SAYS, "are generally the best fighters
Undoubtedly the thoughts Of those
dependent on a soldier for support or
help are prone to disturb the mind OF
the bravest fighter in a crisis. The GER
tainty that the loved ones will, in case
Of his death or dsablement, receive
money enough to keep them from want
will help the soldier to go into battle
with a clearer conscience and a stouter
heart
We need not rush ahead to the con
clusion that lives will thus be thrown
away. Calm courage is a factor not

MILITARY PARADES.

Heretofore the nation has taken the
training Of our new armies largely on
faith.
Civilian eyes have seldom been permit
ted to see our soldier boys either in
process Of development or in their fin
ished state.
Now that is changed. The Sammies
are to march in public with bands play
ing and flags flying, like their prede'
cessors of former wars. There was an
experimental parade Of National Army
troops in New York the other day and
it had such fine effect that the secre
tary of war has ordered army com
manders to let their boys parade here
after in cities and towns near their
training camps whenever there IS any
proper occasion.
The public will rejoice at the chance
to get better acquainted with the new
fedged fighters. And the soldiers them
selves will feel all the better for it, anc
fight all the better when the time comes
Parades may be sort Of childs play
But we're all children. They do hearter
an army and a nation.
