that the world stood aghast at the peril
Of all free nations.
The question vas threshed back and

The argument was good. It's interpreta-

saYe In few Instances. felt honored. They
were honored.
The ages FIRST agreed upon for the men
20 be chosen by selective draft were q
70 81 inclusive. which meant that a man
who had not yet reached the age of %
years should be drafted. The war Depart
- Z %
year a was seen 20 be right. and the
draft ages became from Is TO As, partly
in order to deal more effectively with the
labor needs OF essential industries But
in order to assure supply OF educated
young men as officers and for technical
work the younger ages were assisted -

into the field.
The selective draft law was pronounced
constitutional by the United States ST.
preme court, its operation worked out bf
the war department its Interpretation
given 10 the press and the work OF the
new arny-making machinery was begun.
The Work Of Crowder
The directing head Of the draft system
was Provost Marshal General Enoch r.

iective draft system was so successful
that turning time backward some eighteen
months. none would dare say the thing

The Germans had scofed at ''Kitehener's

With the usual aptitude for laundering

hordes reckoned the Yankees could not

Forty Years in Preparation
The Huns had been breeding and train

They had their depots OF mobilization IN

And the American people did 70 IN a few

How 20 raise the army was the first con-

Then the work OF examination vas ore
dered. Men were classified as per instruc-

The Cali to the Camps
Then Il was announced from the war
department. that certain percentage OF
the drafted and accepted men were called
for service. The draft boards which noti.
fed the men and ordered them TO central
points Of mobilization. camps scattered
throughout the country where their train
ing was 10 take place.
The summer OF 1917 saw hundreds Of
thousands OF outstanding young men dis
card civilian garb tor khaki. Celebrations
we're held 10 cities and towns in honor OF
the men whose faces were turned toward
Europe. They were honored and enter
tained. they had become heroes In a day.
For such vast accumulation Of men,
soldiers in the making, Il was at once nee
essary TO have them differed. The war
department had accepted candidates for
the various officers training camps. using
for instruction purposes officers OF the
regular army. Later enlisted men OF the
rational army. formed wholly by the Sc
lective draft process. were sent 20 such
officers training camps 70 qualify for
commissions.
Reports Of regular army inspectors aft
er a few months OF the intensive training
at the national army camps were most
gratifying. Such swift fitting in Of men
TO military customs, uses and regulations
was hard 20 believe and yet the inspectors
reported almost as a unit that the na-
tional army was far exceeding all ex-
pectatons There was a swing and a dash
10 these red-blooded young Americans that
amazed veteran soldiers. They had been
clerks. farmers. factory workers. miners.
teachers, students. professional men idle
uilllonaires. But they all quickly became
soldiers Many OF them became heroes on
the field Of action, all of them were he
roes In the hearts OF their own people.
The Procession Overseas
As the camps were completed and en-
larged and as the officers training camps
graduated leaders. more calls were filed
by the draft boards and the national army
grew. Then the war department began
sending units to Europe. Some we're taken
to England for last training, and others
found their last training camps IA France.
And more men were called from civil life
10 the cantOnments.
Provost Marshal General Crovder, mean
while. Was watching everything connect
ed with the operation Of the selective draft
and the making OF an army. He saw that
many hundredc OF thousands OF youths not
n years OF age when the law became oper-
alive, were reaching their majority, and
congress passed An act bringing such young
men under the Jurisdiction OF the new
law.
President Wilson. with the anniversary
idea In mind. issued a proclamation naming
June 5. 1918. as the day for such youths
10 register. This brought about 500 100
eager youngsters into the operation Of the
selective draft law. a heavy percentage OF
whom easily qualified physically for seTy-

caal Commissioner to the United

nme the folloaDimg explanation of the
rice satwataom In Japan vhich led to
the rice riots Of lust Ueek.)

end Of July, 1918. The causes Of the
high price were as follows:

end Of July, 1918. The causes Of the
high price were as follows:
1. Decrease in supply.
(a) Decrease in crop-Principally
due to the weather, the yield Of
Japanese rice amounted to only
272,000,000 bushels in 1917, de-
crease of 100000 bushels, COM
pared to the preceding year.
(b) Lack Of tonnage-Owing to the
world wide deficiency in tonnage it
became difficult to import foreign
rice and the freight rates increased
extraordinarily.
2. Increase in consumption Of rice.
(a) Substitution for wheat and bar
ley-Because of the great increase
in the demand for wheat and bar
ley from the Allied countries their
export from Japan greatly in
creased and prices advanced rap
idly. so that the poor people who
used this kind of grain began to
eat more rice than before.
CD Increase Of income-As the wages
Of the laborers who are working in
the industries which we're favored
with great profit by the WARRIOR
example, the shipbuilding indus
try-increased, many of these la
borers began to eat Japanese rice
instead of the imported.
Co Substitution for foreign rice
AS a result of the decrease in
supply Of foreign rice the con-
sumption of Japanese rice was
greatly increased.
3. Initiation of currency.
Owing to the imitation Of currency,
which was caused by the favorable
balance Of trade since the war be-
gan, the prices Of commodities
have generally increased.
4. Speculation.
(a) Speculation made by rice brokers.
(b)Hoarding of rice by farmers.
Relief given by the government:
1. Before the riot.
(a) Export prohibition Of rice.
(b) Restriction of speculations.
(c) Import and distribution Of for
eign rice.
(d) Reduction Of currency.
2. After the riot.
(a) Granting Of 100000 yen by the
Emperor.
(b) Cheaper sale Of foreign rice.
(c) Compulsory purchase of Japa-
nese rice to the extent of 100000
900 yen.
Cd Donations by wealthy people.
