now contemplated. No doubt there
will be a reduction in the age limit.
but not without a great deal of pro-
test, as many men in congress think It
Is unfair to young men to force them
into military service before they have
reached the voting age of twenty-one
years. In the discussion at one of the
short sessions of the senate allusion
was made 10 the fact that men below
the present age limit are volunteering
for service in the navy and marine
corps and giving good account or
themselves. Senator Nelson of Mime
sofa, who enlisted In the Civil war
when eighteen years old, again took
up the subject of young soldiers and
insisted that we would secure much
better army by taking in tie boys from
eighteen to twenty-one rather than try
ing to make soldiers of men above
thirty-One. He also called attention to
the fact that there was still pres
sure on the part of many men TO get
into the military service in positions
of soft snaps" where they would not
be called upon for actual fighting or
going into the trenches. He insisted
that that kind of material would not
be obtained if the draft age was re-
duced and that real soldiers would be
the result.

A question has been raised as to
whether there should not be legisla-
tiOn to prevent the return to this coun-
try of Germans who were residents
here but went back to Germany to
fight for the kaiser. There were thou
sands of these men who came to this
country to better their conditions,
some of whom became American citi-
zens but upon the demand of the Ger
man autocracy went back and are now
fighting against Americans. 1t would
he an interesting question to decide
as to whether those German soldiers
should ever again be permitted to
enter this country.

All Of Americas preparations for
carrying on the war are on such
grand scale at the present time
as to indicate the possibility of
prOtracted struggle. We have laid
down program for a long war. With
more than n hundred government ship
yards completed or in the course of
construction; with hundreds of pow
der and ammunition plants completed
or nearly ready for business; with
preparations for an army of 100000
additional men, and with appropria-
lions and revenue laws never dreamed
of before, 1t Is evident that this coun-
try Is putting itself in an attitude
which Will make 1t the greatest fight
ing power the world has ever known.
America Is really waking up and the
Germans must begin to realize that
fact by what has happened in Europe
already. And they ought to know more
about it If their spies in this country
dare to keep them informed of what
the United States is doing.

with these packages, great quantity

therefore issued an order that nothing
