Regarding Its Use for Census

In suggesting that the census might
hereafter be taken through the seiec-
tive service machinery. Gen. Crowdef
says the feasibility OF many theories
divergent from the pfs-war cohcep-
ton OF things has been demonstrated.
although the question OF how far
these principles should be projected
after the war ia - matter OF vital ma
tional Importance" The use OF the
draft machinery for the census Is
wholly practical, however. he be-
lieves, pointing out as 13.00a.000 were
registered in a single day and $4,000
900 in four days. including a complete
survey and classification of their do.
nestle and Industrial status. the CEN
aus data should be obtainable in days
instead of months, as is now the case.
The possibility of having every
man, woman and child report at a
given place, on a given day, for en-
rollment and submitting to examtra-
ton" the report says. has been DEM
onstrated by war experience to be
practicable and to have superiority in
speed. accuracy and completeness
over present census methods"
The draft regulations toward which
Gen. Crowder was moving when the
war ended. he says, were shaping for
the mandatory deferment of regis
trants in essential industry, denying
them absolutely the right OF military
service. while. through the industrial
furlough system. a scheme for super
vising labor distribution was being
evolved. Only the cessation of hos
tilities prevented the PRONUNCIATION OF
regulations to accomplish these pur-
noses.

G. B. cLARKsoN TO REMAIN.
Will Continue as Director of Coun.
Gil Of National Defense.

AT the personal request of Secretary
Baker OF the War Department. Gros-
venor B. Clarkson, chairman of the
Council of National Defense, has
agreed to continue in Office as direc-
tor Of the council.
Mr.. Clarkson has written state coun-
ellis suggesting that a special nom
partisan, non-sectarian bureau or
commission be established in each to
draw from the council of defense sys-
tenn, already created, those dividends
for peace which the war effort of the
country hsts entitled it to receive.
Original plans called for the dis
continuance of the state council of
defense on the signing Of the armi-
stice. Many problems, the council
points out, require the aid of that
body. including that of Americaniza-
tion, unemployment and the transfer
ence of the $37, 600 zoo. 900 of war risk
| insurance outstanding from war to
a peace basis. For these reasons, it is
maintained. continuation OF the work
is imperative. Y

Claims Aggregate II Millions.

The claims pending aggregate about
$14, 900. 600, but include many cases of
the so-called Confederate cotton, pur-
chased by the Confederate government
but left on plantations where it was
seized after the close of hostilities
The Supreme Court has held that no
recovery can be had In such cases.
1t was in the seizure of Confederate
cotton that the claims of individuals
arose, the collectors admittedly ap-
propriating much staple belonging to
individuals which the Treasury spe-
officially had ordered should not be dis
turbed.
One instance is on record of a col
iector who gathered an entire shipIoad
of cotton. accompanied it to France
and failed to return to this country.
As only about 100000 was ever
turned into the Treasury for the cot
ton, that is the maximum amount
which can be recovered before the
court, under the terms of the law per-
hitting compensation for the seizures.

THAT a new and untried scheme OF

Gen. Crowder, was to many doubt
full; that it should attain results be-
yond the fondest dreams Of It's most
ardent supporters was unbelievable.
To enroll for service over 100000
men; to mobilize a selected Army OF
more than 100000. a million of them
within the space of ninety days; to
have presently available for military
duty 100000 additional fighting men;
to classify this vast group Of man
power in the order of its military and
Industrial Importance. so as to pre-
serve the domestic and industrial life
of the nation, to speed up wartime
activities, to maintain them in status
of maximum efficient production. and
to pave the way to a speedy return to
normal peacetime pursuits while re-
cruiting the full fighting strength OF
the nation--these are results which
would be instantly rejected as impos-
sible did not the actual facts stand as
irrefutable testimonials of their ac-
com plishment."

Other Cases Pending.
Approximately 500 other cases
brought to recover for cotton seized
by the United States government are
pending before the court, but it
was said today by w. F. Morris, repre-
senting the Department of Justice in
defending them, that the decisions
just announced will have no effect on
the cases still to be heard.
| The Lamar cases are regarded as
unique because the corporation in
vo1ved was formed after the war
started with the announced purpose OF
purchasing cotton to be run through
the blockade, thereby hindering the
defense of the Union. 1t will be ar
gued that the corporation has no
standing in United Ststes court, diff
fering in that respect from a private
| individual whose cotton was seized
after the close of hostilities. The
Court of Claims decision enunciates
the principle that recovery may be
had where the seizure took place after
June /, 1865, and where the proceeds
can be traced to the United States
Treasury.

There were 1875 casualties on the first
day. but on the second day after the

mortal wounds in the engagement and
paid him a sterling tribute. There was
no man in the regiment that did not
love him. he said, and he never asked
a man to go where ne would not go him
