Exceptions to the general order abolishing the
volunteer system may be in order They Will,
probably be trivial as to the number OF men IN
yolved An instance may be the officers train
ing schools. It may be necessary to modify the
order to permit voluntary enlistments for such
training. Adjustment can be made to meet, prac-
tically such exigency as may arise but it is a
very wholesome, sound policy of the American
government which does away without compunc-
ton with this choice process of American emo
tionalism and military ignorance-the volunteer
system.

The New Draft Regulations

The Chicago Tribune has studiously fought
the volunteer system of raising men for the army
and navy 1t has been powerful instrument in
formulating public opinion in the Middle West in
favor Of the selective service system.
Commenting on the new draft ages, the Trib-
une says
A government order has put an end to the
volunteer system. Neither army nor navy is to
accept recruits offered in this fashion The fall
lacies and failures of the system of personal de-
cison and self-seection is thus given it's coup de
grace. The government wisely recognizing the
national necessity, does away with the last of this
system which has been so dear to the American
emotions and so costly in their experience.
The navy which has been forced to stimulate
recruiting, has it's men and will get more as it
needs them. The army, in all its major process
ses, is relying upon CONSUMPTION. The volunteer
system always bad remained only as possibly
disturbing element and it has been done away
with.
No citizens personal desires or judgment can
place him where he is of the greatest service. 1t
may be coal miners job to remain coal miner
It may be the worst possible thing for him to do
what would win him the most applause from his
neighbors-to enlist.
A miner in the mines may be worth ten miners
in the navy. The nation has to keep itself going
or it is useless for it to raise armies 1t cannot
drain it's essential industries, weaken or interfere
with them and then expect to put its full strength
on the fighting front.
1t selects it's soldiers with the greatest care
not to dislocate or disturb the work which must
be done behind the army if the army is to fight
successfully. If it is not only permitted but
ardently urged that men, regardless of their oc
special fitness for necessary civilian work, drop
that necessary work and go into the ranks the
efficiency of the nation suffers.
CONSUMPTION is the only safe method by which
men can be withdrawn from civilian pursuits for
be expected that an intelligence comprehending
the whole necessity of the nation, seeing and per-
Giving the relation of activities to each other will
take the men who can best be spared and make
soldiers of them and will retain the men who can
not be spared and keep them as miners, engineers,
artisans and wOrkmen who will preserve the
structure and save the power of the country.
Leave soldering to the emotions to the pat
rlotlc impulse, the personal selection and decision
and you may SO weaken an essential industry that
it would be better for the country if the enemy
such terms the men who volunteered could have
been retained in their industries.
A little war may be conducted upon the volun-
teer system because it will make but little drain
upon the country's resources great war can
not be conducted, Or if it be so conducted will
have criminal waste.

Costly Strikes

At the assembling of the American Mining Congress in Phoenix this month the Arizona chapter reported that the strikes in the cop per mines of Arizona cost the metal world this year the immense quantity of 120,000, 900 pounds. The loss in wages to the miners aggregates $5,OOO, to January 1. Twenty-Five thousand men have been af- fected The strikes in Ari- zona have been confined to the copper mines. They have apparently passed for the present anyhow.
 Strikes became effective in Jerome in May. The I. w. w. and the Western Federation participated, when the Federal authorities mediated and the 1. w. w. s were deported. The Globe and Miami mines were en- tirely closed on July 1 and were reopened in September. The loss of copper produc- tion there was 25, 900, 900 pounds, with a probable loss of some 10000, more pounds from the date of re- opening till January 1.
 Clifton and Morencimines closed July i and never re- till the close of Octo- Der. The loss of copper there was 32,OOO, 900 pro- duction. Bisbee strikes be- gan June 27 and ended July 12. The loss in copper pro- d uction was 5,0O0,00O pounds.

Eligible Draft Men Can Enlist
 In U. S. NdUy AUiation Corps

According to an order receiv-
 ed from Washington recently al
 the U. s. Navy Recruiting Head
 quarters, 301 SpreckeIs Bldg,
 San Francisco, California, the U. s. Aviation Corps has imme-
 diate need of men for service in It's non-fiying branches and Eli gible Draft men who are not needed for immediate quotas by their local Draft Boards will be permitted to enlist in the Avia- ton Service after December 15. and up until the time they are called by the Local Boards.
 The type of men that are needed are mainly mechanics, blacksmiths, machinists, quarter masters, carpenters and copper smiths, and particularly men with a knowledge of flying ma chimes. That these men are ur- gently needed is made plaln by the fact that they will be given immediate service, going into training at the Naval Training Stations at once. Some of these men will be sent to Pensacola, Florida, some of them to Bay Shore. Long Island, New York, while others will be attached to the Naval Air Station at San Diego, California. These men will be required for ground work only, and will not be permitted to enter the flying branch of the service later on. This is be- cause the Navy recognizes that the man on the ground. the man upon whom depends the mechan- ical perfection of the Aeroplanes is too important to be switched from his place after he has re- ceived his training and has be- come highly efficient.
 Men who enlist in the Aviation corps have unusal opportunity for advancement. No service time limit restricts them, but depends entirely upon personal qualifications.
 Men may enlist in the Aviation Corps at any Navy Recruiting Station.
