A Draft Law Injustice

1t is obviously impossible 10 work
out a scheme of conscrption free of
all defects. Local exemption boards
differ widely on interpretations of in
structions and in case of doubt. al
most invariably decide an argument in
favor of the government and against
the individual. That point of view, of
course. is thoroughly explicable Never
theless, there have been repeated in
stances of decisions which worked a
serious hardship on the Individual.
Some of these were pointed out few
days ago in Congress by Senator Ster-
ling, of South Dakota. He called at
tention to the fact that physical re-
qnirements, under the first draft, were
frequently changed, almost overnight
at times. He cited cases Of men who
volunteered to fight, and, when reject
ed as physically unfit, entered into
business arrangements, or married,
with the belief that they were power
less to serve their country and would
not be called to the colors. Later,
these men were jerked into the service
by their draft boards and passed as
physically fit. Senator Sterling at
tackled a situation that makes it pos
'sible for rejected volunteers to be
conscripted. His stand will appeal to
the American love of fair play. 1t is
unquestionably unjust to refuse man
the right-to fight when he asks it. and
subsequently thrust him into the army
without credit for his patriotic earlier
actlon.-Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's.

Says Lusitania Did
Not Rouse Americans
Professor Kuno Meyer Tells
His Countrymen "Not a Ger
man Hair Was Harmed"

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 31.-Professor
Kuno Meyer, who was in America in
May, 1915, when the liner Lusitania
was sunk, describes in the Pan-Ger-
man "Tagliche Rundschau," of Berlin,
the attitude Of America toward Ger
many at the time. There has been con-
siderable discussion of the law suit
arising out of the loss of the Lusl
tania, which was decided in the Unitet
States recently.
There was no special excitement or
resentment in America at the time of
the sinking, except IN the British
press" Professor Meyer writes. "The
man in the street was perfectly calm
about it, and several Congressman
voiced the general feeling, the passen-
gers should not have gone after they
had been warned"
The writer attempts to prove that
the attitude Of the average American
was not hostile to Germany by saving
mot hair of a Germans head was
hurt, not a Germans window was
broken, nor was there any hostile
demonstration, even in Bosto New
York or the other Eastern cities"
Every American, whether hostile.
friendly or indiffere at toward us, as
sumed as matter of course that we
would continue to sink the munition
ships" Professor Meyer continues at
is different feeling than that which
prevails to-day, and that wo lost the
benefit of it through our own fault is
bitter thought"

Committees Named to Com

Campaign
Plan Close Canvass
Second Reserve District Is Ex-
pected to Surpass For
mer Records

The attitude of foreign born Amer
leans toward the next Liberty Loan
campaign was foreshadowed yesterday
afternoon at meeting of the repre-
sentateves Of twenty-six different ma
tionalities in the headquarters of the
foreign language division Of the Lib
erty Loan Committee. This was tho
first of series of meetings to stimu-
late citizens by adoption to invest in
the next bond issue.
The meeting was addressed by Hans
Rieg, of the foreign language division
Of the Treasury Department, who told
of the ambitions of the Liberty Loan
Committee for the fourth loan and
what would be expected of the various
nationalities throughout the I'd Federal
Reserve District.
Representative Carl Van Dyck, of
Minnesota, vas another speaker. With
twenty-five nationalities in the State
of Minnesota. and all of them 100 per
cent purchasers, Mr.. Van Dyck told
how Americans of foreign birth or
foreign extraction had been organized
and the sale of Liberty bonds ad-
vanced.
It was pointed out that in the I'd
Federal Reserve District there are
forty-four separate nationaIities, num-
bering more than 100000, and that to
interest them it is necessary to com.
plete an organization that will reach
every individual
One of the plans decided upon was
the extensive use of advertising space
IN all of the foreign language news
papers. 1t was announced that more
than s10S,000,000 in bonds had been
sold to citizens of foreign birth in the
second and third loans, and that at
least that amount will be expected for
the fourth loan.
Sixty-four different committees in
the foreign language division have
been appointed in the I'd District to
perfect machine to conduct the next
loan. Committees have been appointed
Tor every conceivable activity, includ-
ing mass meetings, special canvassing
teams and a women's division.
Representatives were instructed to
line up the working forces so that
when the fourth loan begins, Septem-
Der 28, the foreign division will be
ready to start with complete organi-
cation

atty issue as the main feature Of the
race, the hottest contest for the United
States Senate ever waged in Georgia
will be decided by the Democrats of the
state at the polls on September IL.
While there are five men in the race, it
is admitted that only three have any
chance. The other two will get votes in
their own sections, and that will be
about all.
The real race is among Senator
Thomas w: Hardwick, Representative
William Schley Howard, of the 9Th Dis
trict, and w. j. Harris, former chair
man of the Federal Trades Commission.
The other two candidates are John R.
Cooper, of Macon, and Emmett Shaw, of
South Georgia.
Although the race was already warm
enough, the pace was accelerated re-
Gently by the publication here of mes
sage from President Wilson, in which
hC POiHCC0 OuI tI0C WIG OCoC IuLCIcoIo
of the party demanded the selection Of
William j. Harris. For few days this
seemed to put Representative Howard
out Of the race. His Savannah club
practically disbanded, and all over the
state loyal Democrats announced that
they would support the Presidents
choice in order to make it clean cut
issue between some loyalist and Thomas
w. Hardwick, who has been attacked
because Of his record in the Senate.

strength. Whether he has succeeded in
full or not is hard to say.
