Partisanship has bourgeoned into

lea. Perhaps that was never so well
demonstrated as in the closing days
OF the last Congress. the most memo
rablc and historic session OF at least
half century. The whole thought
there. as in the executive departments,
was in making America ready. All
presidents were shattered.
Some who had for 4 lifetime in their
districts voiced their hostility to any
thing except voluntary service. men
who had imbibed the ancient faith of
America which has been for voluntary
service, threw to the winds, for the
lime being. these views and voted for
selective draft. by which more than
million and a half OF the flower OF
our country already has been called
to the colors and 100000 moro await
the call.
Already America is modified and
ready for any duty. Not only are the
100000 between the ages fixed by
law ready, but young men over TWEEN

be need TO replace the men in the frst

take their places and quite as many

Until recently when we modified
America, wo talked Of American man
hood. To-day we mobilize American
manhood and womanhood-and there Is
no more patriotism and Willingness to
sacrifice in the men who go to the
trenches than the women who send
them there and support them with
prayers. with labor. with loving sacri-
