u
Of industries and mechanics.
Must Copy German Machine.
Germany must not be thought Of as
merely possessing an army, we must
think of her as being an army-an
army In which every factory and loom
in the empire Is a recognized part in
a complete machine running night and
day at terrific speed. We must make
of ourselves the same sort of effective
machine.
sit is not enough to ask what would
happen IL every man in the nation turn
ed his hand to effective work. We
must make ourselves effective. We
must organize for the future. We
must make vast Withdrawals for the
army and Immediately close up the
ranks of industry behind the gap with
an accelerating production Of every
useful thing in necessary measure.
How Is this to be done2
1.-THE answer is plain. The first step
toward the solution Of the difficulty is
to prohibit engagement by able-bodied
men In the field of hurtful employ
ment, idleness or Intellectual employ
ment. and thus induce and persuade
the vast wasted excess into useful
fields.
THE very situation we are now con-
sidering. however. offers great posi-
bilities in improvement Of the draft as
we'll as great possibilities for the COM
LOT Of.
fective administration Of the draft.
Considering the selective service law,
we see two principal causes Of detri-
ment of the call to military service
exemption and the order numbers as
signed by lot.
Exemptions In Two Categorles.
1.-THE exemptions themselves fall into
two conspicuous tegories-depend-
ency and industrial employment. One
protects domestic relations. the other
the economic interests Of the nation.
Between the two there is an inev-
liable hiatus, for It Is demonstrably
true that thousands, If not millions, of
dependency exemptions have no eff
feet Of industrial protection whatever.
"One of the unanswerable criticisms
of the draft has been that 1t takes men
from the farms and from all useful
employments and marches them past
crowds of oilers and lOafers TO the
army. The remedy is simple-to couple
the industrial basis with other grounds
for exemption and to require that any
man pleading exemption on any ground
shall also show that he is cOntribut-
ing effectively TO the industrial well
fare of the nation"

Is under drastic amendment to the
Eelective service regulations. All

Hutchinson. who spent some time abroad
in Y. NJ C. A. work at the front, gave
most impressive talk on her expert
ences and the need OF funds to help the
boys through the period OF demobiliZa-
ton. the most trying time OF their whole
army life.
The work OF the United War Fund is
coming along very satisfactorily. The
lower school has thus far raised 1897
toward the fund. the nth grade alone
accounting for s346 o. this amount The
sixth grade has proved itself 100 per
cent. patriotic, since every individual
contributed something toward the 1888
raised by the class. The quota allotted
to the whole school is $1,000.
At the game on November 9 between
Bordentown and the academy s125 was
collected for the benefit OF the Mountain

benefit game for the same cause.

remarkably successful Seven games in

victory; In fact. tho goal line has not
once been crossed for a score During
the st. Paul game the visitors went
over, but the referee called the play foul
because the St Paul quarterback did not
retire five yards when he delivered the

ers, has brought forth a new team COM

Practice has been held back by the

on November II travelled to New
Brunswick and played the Rutgers Prep
team and defeated them by the score Of
AZ to o. 1t was a Splendidly played game
throughout both halves. free from any
unprofessional acts. Rutgers could not,
however. stop the rushes made by the
heavy backfield. The feature of that
game was the exceptional work OF Capt.
Blackwell, who made large gains when
ever he hit the opponents line.
on November 8 the Swarthmore Prep
team OF Philadelphia met the team on
the gridiron and the Penningtonians ran
up a score OF 3S TO o. Tho backneld
worked with precision and unison that
was remarkable. The Little Quakers
would hardly stop tire fast ends runs
tackle plays, and Il was only their logged
perseverance, along that kept the score
down.
Pennington's combination Is recog-
nIzed By those who are lin position to
Judge as one OF the fastest in the State
and will prove this when II meets Ped
die Institute en- November "a and Tren-
ton High at later date.
The stalwRrt backfield is even Rreater
and heavier than the team which brought
honors to the old school last year. II is
estimated that every man on the back
field will keep other backs from the
various schools on the move TO beat
them for positions on the All state team.
