'DRAFT SYSTEM PROVEN
 FuNDAME ENTAlLY SOUND"
war Could Never Have Been Won by Armies Raised Exclusively by Vol unteer System"

Chicago, aJn. 13.-Addressing to- |mght approximately 700 members of local draft boards in the state, menj oesr of the Illinois Selective Service
 Association, Provost Marshal Major
 general Enoch H. Crowder, declared nat after a year and half of ex- P1erlence, it is now generally conceded Fhat the plan of the selective service system was fundamentally sound" This war could never have been |Won by armies raised exclusively by |tne volunteer system," he said. "The
 Germans knew that t1e free democra- Eles Of the world had not organized |tnelr economic and military sources |on national scale and for that req son meant to make this war a life or Eeath struggle. Germany completely Pa.lssunderstood the capacities of our el1lzenship. Not only was our organ .zea plan effective within six weeks rom the day of the declaration of |War' put the product of the selective selvlce s:I system showed equally well s;i sIlh tne volunteers in their moral |flbre to fight"
 ueneral Crowder explained that it was the chance remark of a member |ul o1 congress that suggested the draft pan p as finally adopted. The Con- s,essnan 's remarked that the electoral . |.aachlnery of the nation should be set |.u work to register the arms-bearing population p.l,a and it was the successful |1@ Mesnod ono Ut that in June, 1917, enrolled ||sUv,uoO,ooO men for service and in na. september, 1918, added 13,OO0,Oo0
 ''OIe men of draft age.
 +, An interesting disclosure made by sle "s !, provost Marshal is that 16 percent
 A all persons in the draft were not
 m"" rm'erican citizens. He stated that
 ;any f;ey states have asked for the exast ~ s,sares on this percentage of al.- tI tIo 'lat they may take steps to have

MCAIN GROCERY
 COMPANY TO MOVE
Is First of Several Changes in Loca. tiOn by Pine Bluff Merchants, Scheduled for New Year.

Scneduled TOT New Year.
 The Mccain Grocery Company will celebrate it's twenty fifth year in Pine Bluff by moving from the building at the southwest corner of Fourth and Main to 321 Main street, the building formerly occupied by Cloverdale's Toggery Shop. The moving began yes- terday, and John M. Mccain, head N the firm states that he expects to be in his new quarters within two or three days. :.
 Mr. Mccain has obtained five year lease on the new store building. The firm which consists of MT. Me- Cain, and his son John H. Mccain, was organized 25 years ago, and dur ing that time has had only four loca- tions within a radius of one block.
 John M. Mccain has been in the grocery business for more than half a a century. He started as little boy and gradually built up his present large business. "We are proud of our record in Pine Bluff," Mr. Mccain stated Saturday in anonuncing the change to, be made. "And we shall continue to maintain the same service to our customers that has made us prosperous in past years"
 The move of this firm is one of a series in which three we'll known firms will change quarters. The Eagle store, across Fourth avenue from the present site of McCain's store will oc- cupy the latter site, and s. H. KreS Co.,, will occupy the building which is to be vacated by the Eagle store.

population, one vote is not enough
and under such a league, properly
drafted and explicit in it's terms, i'm
portant benefits and advantages vii
surely accrue not only to the worlt
generally, but more particularly te
ourselves.
We must throw away suspicion
envy, jealousy, fear and selfishness
These are all cowardly hindrances. II
we cannot rise above them we need
divine help. The United States should
inventory itself; and doing justice by
all its own, without fear or favor
look across the seas and share in open
field the doing of the great work at
hand and in doing this we join hands
with all helping Influences. One
alone cannot do this great work; but
all comparatively minded, can do it.
There must be getting together, a
staying together, a working together
/ if we would be great in the greatest
undertaking of all history An al
together ,fraternally organized, all
around pull, at the heart strings of a
deeply disturbed world, cannot Big
made without the fellowship of the
United States; and such pull will
do more to put the skies and sevens
every where at rights than anything
else.
One after another of the nations,
standing aloof, with countenances
drawn to suit the pose, will sure
ly leave the world where the wal
found it, if not worse off.
1t is painful to think that the
great, yes, the inconceivably great
sacrifices of as great war shall all
go for naught; because for sooth, it
is WILSON'S league" or because eve
must get home," OF because of the
Monroe Doctrine" or because of
entangling alliances, or because of
almost any Stacker thought that
comes handy in prematurely launch
ling a political drive.
There never would have been a
war in all the worlds history, if the
parties concerned could have talked
it over around some peace board a
few moments before letting the dogs
loose; and there never will be an
other war if such precaution can
be made feature of future diplo-
macy.
We must not get SO great, so pow
erful, so exclusive. so mighty, so
strong, so dignifed, so much unto
ourselves or get so much of any 9th
er similar bumptiousness that we
cannot join "talk it over a few
minutes" alliance, or league. who

The greatest opposition to the
league seems to come from Wash
ington. This perhaps is all right for
Congress is the natural radiator of
such subjects. The league cannot
be without the approval of the Sem
ate. The President can propose, yet
the Senate can dispose. We must not
forget, however, that the prelimin-
airy work, the proposing, in this
league matter, is constitutional
duty of the President. He, by the
constitution, is required to negotiate
matters relating to peace in which the
United States is concerned. He is
our constitutional representation of
the peace negotiations at Versailles.
So far as these negotiations relate to
league, it is claimed they are Will
sonian. There is some reason for
this claim, for fourteen points and a
!, league was one of the war platitudes
of the President. 1t sounded all
right and was quite generally APP
plauded In fact Germany proposed
and accepted the armistice upon this
platitude. l use the word platitude
respectfully. 1t is easier to say than
do things; and the President is find
ing this rule quite true. 1t is notice
able that all, or at least many, of
the Members and Senators have
strings attached to their objections to
the effect that if amended or in some
way fixed over the league might do.
In short, they do not all absolutely
object to trying a league; but do not
want Wilson's league. This savors of
politics and no such game should at
this time be attempted. Nineteen
hundred and twenty is close by and
when the time comes for opening the
dance of that campaign all good re-
publicans should know their places.
Until then Woodrow Wilson is our
President and republicans and demo
Gratis alike should know only patriot
ism for the cause and loyalty to the
country.

work well, it can be dropped upon due
notice. 1t should also be subject to
amendment. The question of the
Monroe Doctrine should be excepted;
and the question of immigration
