Washington.-Thc selective service
act was held constitutional by the gu
preme Court.
The governments contention that
the power given Congress to declare
war included power to compel c'ti'
Gems to render military service both at
home and abroad was sustained by the
court.
Chief Justice White. who delivered
the unanimous opinion in . BRIEF
statement. declared that after con-
sidering the various contentious the
conclusion had been reached that
most of them were imaginary rather
than real.
The decision resulted from the ap-
peals OF thirteen cases growing out OF
convictions under the selective serv-
ice act. five coming from New York.
three from Ohio. four from Minnesota.
and one from Georgia. Constitution
ality OF the act was questioned in all
the appeals.
The cases from New York were
those Of Louis Kramer. Morris Becker.
Emma Goldman. Alexander Berkman
ard Meyer Graubard. The first four
were convicted OF attempting to in.
duce others Of draft age not to regis
ter. and an additional charge Of fail
ure to register was made against Kra-
mer. who was sentenced to two years
imprisonment. Becker was sentenced
to one year and eight months in jail.
while Emma Goldman and Berkman
were ordered imprisoned for two
years and fined $4,000 each. A one
year sentence was given Graubard for
failing to register.
In holding the law constitutional
the court took no action in those cases
involving charges Of conspiracy to
prevent the carrying out Of the pur-
poses Of the law. These, 1t was un.
derstood. will be taken up by the
court later. That question is involved
in the cases Of Alexander Berkman
and Emma Goldman, Louis Kramer
and Morris Becker, convicted in New
York on the same charge and the so
called Ohio cases.

YOU NEED NOT SAVE
MORE NUTS AND SHELLS
All That Is Necessary Now is to Ac-
cumulate What The People Did
Preserve.

Atlanta, Ga.-Owing 10 the cessa-
ton of hostilities it will not be nee,
essary to continue the saving of fruit
pits and nut shells for the manufac-
ture of gas masks, according to DR..
George Brown. of this city, who was
appointed by the gas defense divis-
ion of the chemical warfare service
to present this matter to the people
of Georgia.
While a considerable number of
gas masks will be manufactured, re-
cent cable reports from the Far East
and reports from the campaign col
lection centers all over the country
indicate that it will only be necessary
now to accumulate and ship all fruit
pits and nut shells already saved or
collected
The people everywhere have re-
sponded to the call with fine patriotic
enthusiasm, states Dr. Brown, and
the government will have an abund-
ant supply of the needed materials
as soon as that now saved has been
turned into collection centers and
shipped.

Their confidence in him increases their
activity. They rely the more i'm
picitly on his judgment for knowing
that it has been formed after personal
inspection by him of the existing con-
ditions. But where candidate may
be, and is, charged with having hur-

official duty elsewhere, his chances of
election may be hurt rather than
helped. The campaign may be quick

No business now in hand on Capitol
Hill, or awaiting the taking up, should
be dealt with in spirit Of haste or
Impotence. All of it is important, and
some of it unusual. There are matters
in conference, and other matters under
committee consideration, involving
questions of farreaching moment, and
which should not be dealt with in the
spirit of "Let's get through with these
things, and 60 home" Better stay, and
dispose of them in an orderly and
leisurely fashion, and so as to give the
country at this critical time the bene
fit of the best measures possible pre-
pared in the most careful way.

The Disillusioned Turk.

Turkey awaits the psychological mo-
ment of maximum menace to sue for
peace. Another of the kaiser's world
dominion bubbles is about to burst
despite the almost frantic efforts
of the German government to hold its
Ottoman ally. Frustrated in realization
of dreams of territorial acquisition,
seeing vast sections of her domain
snatehed from her, her peoples hunger
ing and undergoing economic depriva-
tons of the keenest sort, with ex-
chequer depleted and troops in mutiny,
it would not be in the least surprising
to see Turkey follow her likewise dis
iausioned neighbor, Bulgaria In fact,
the course of events has plainly indi-
Gated for some time that the Ottoman
peoples are about to step out of the
struggle which has brought them moth
ing but woe.
The position of Turkey in the pres
emit struggle has been unusual. Turkey
has been the connecting link between
Berlin and the near eastern regions in
which the kaiser hoped to build great
empire. Through Mohammedan infu-
ence the ruler of the German empire
would have reached into India, there
creating such disaffection that Britain
