THE WORLDS METROPOLIS.

Although the rate of increase in New
York City's population during the past
decade was the lowest ever recorded
with a single exception, the numerical
addition was so large as to be almost
startling. In the ten years ending last
January, New York City gained s54..
26s people, a number sufficient to sur
pass many of the large cities of the
world, while the total population of S.
62l, isl persons is big enough to make
a good sized nation. There are as many
people crowded into 28T square miles
OF territory comprising the area of the
present city as there are in many ma
tions which are recognized as powerful
factors in international relations. Even
at the present rate of growth New
York City will be a misfit as mum.
cipality by the end of another decade.
1t is already the greatest city in the
world, exceedingly London by consid-
cradle margin; but it has the advsn.
tage of London in being spread out
over a wider area. However, there
will of necessity be a limit to the size
which New York can attain. and the
great bulging city will burst its bounds
even more than it has been doing dur
ing the past score of years. People will
not be content to live under such con-
ditions of congestion; they will seek
domiciIes outside Of the city though
they may continue to find employment
and occupation inside the metropolis,
being enabled to do this by the improv-
ing systems of transportations. It is
to be hoped that for the good of hui
manity there assembled New York !
City will not maintain such tremen-
1ous numerical growth as that shown |
in the past decade.

CURRENT COMMENT
A Remarkable Prediction.

| During the Civil war the draft was
| utilized to obtain men for the north
ern armies, but with rather indiffer-
ent success. After the war was over,
however, one of the members Of the
provost marshal generals staff who
had seen the difficulties and errors of
the system at close range, set down on
paper his recommendations as to what
ought to be done "if the nation should
ever embark upon another war, foreign
or domestic This long since forgot.
ten officer, Brig. Gen. James Cakes of
Illinois, predicted that if his sugges-
tions should be followed the country
would obtain "incomparably greater
advantages" from CONSUMPTION than
were secured during "the late rebel,
lion."'
Here are the principal Cakes rec.
concentrations ~ Registration by
personal visit of the citizen to a reg
istration office and not by house can
vass; ~ no substitutes and no boun-
ties; ~ allotment of quotas by states
and not by congressional districts; "a

doned and the duration of the war to be
the uniform period of service; (5) each
state to have its own draft headquar-
tiers, with legal advisers, supervising
medical aide, and full responsibility
for the administration of details.
Gen. Crowder has justly been given
high credit for the admirable way in
which the operations of the selective
service law were carried through dur
ing the years l9l7-l0lS, but in his re-
port to the secretary of war he is gen
erous enough to point out his obliga-
ton TO the man who cogently trans
mitted to him the lessons of our ex-
perience more than half century ago.
1t is notable, he points out, that every
one OF the recommendations made by
Gen. Cakes in 1865 were followed by
the war department in 1917, either in
the selective service law or in the reg
ulations issued Hereunder. The pre-
diction was so accurate and the advice
so trustworthy that, as Gen. Crowder
aptly says, sit merits national thank
fulness." Wringing useful lessons from
the encouragement and failures OF |
civil war, Gen. Cakes did mans full |
share toward winning the great con-
fict Of our own day.
This leads one TO ask whether any
one is. to-day taking this example to
heart and putting down for the guild
ance of posterity set of lessons on
how TO avoid, in any future conflict,
such mistakes as we made in the late
emergency. Surely 1t is a thing worth
doing.-Buston Herald.

had followed the Bella Kun regime.
OF any such participation in the eff

in Germany there is no evidence, but
Paris and London seem to have had
earlier warning than President Ebert,
and it is certain that influential groups
in France and England were disap-
pointed at the fiasco. That like feel

This does not mean, however, that a

Washington that the present govern
