II is conceded on all sides now tha'
rho Americans have measured UP Ia
all the highest standards OF European
soldicrship in every situation. They
have stood their ground against Ter
man raids: they have successfully
raidcd German trenches: they have
attacked superior numbers with the
bayonct and left them dead upon Inc
field: they have held up their "nd
when fighting shoulder to shoulder
with the French, ana they have sue
ccssfully withstood German mass at
t,cks in grand ofrcnsivcs. Verify. the
Americans are all that could he
claimed except they are not yet quite
numerous enough.

the war department will submit to

last few days to prevent the tying up

difficulties. The administrations man.
power bill, II has become known un-
officially, would place only those men
within the enlarged draft ages who
fall into class one under military con-

control Of the department OF labor.
The department would draft whatever
labor might be needed, from one in

DEMOCRATIC ENROLMENT

There were 4,706 names on the
Democratic club rolls in York county
fer the year 1916, one hundred and
ffty-two more than in 1914. and the
1915 total Is only 4.0S6. or 620 less than
last year. The decrease - partly be-
cause of of the absence of soldiers in
the army, but more largely, probably
because Of general indifference.
At the meeting of the executive
committee, it developed that in the case
of some of the clubs the soldiers were
properly enrolled, while at others the
soldier names were included In the
regular list along with other voters,
in other cases the enrolment of SOL
dicrs had been overlooked entirely. A
committee was appointed to go over
the different club books and enroll
the soldiers on separate pages.
The enrolment as II stood yester-
day, previous to revision, was as fol-
lntve.
