Passage of the new selective service act making
all liable for military service between the ages
of 20 and A. is notice to the world that the United
States is out to win.
Not until the late summer of 1913 did the World
War seective service act extend the military age to
45, after the United States had been in the
than a year.
The wider the range of men available for service,
the more the selective principle may be used That
is it is perfectly possible that man of 80 may have
more dependents and responsibilities be more diff
cult to replace in civilian activities than man of 49,
and in cases hemay not be in any better physical
condition.
The extension of the age limit to a makes it
possible to raise the requisite number of soldiers with
the minimum dslocation to the civilian life which
must function to the full behind any successful army
Registration Of all men from 18 to 64 extends the
selective principle to home defense in key with

What We're Up Against

One of the most fatal mistakes in war is to
underestimate your opponent Hitler himself in
'Mein Kampf," tells what costly mistake it was for
Germany in 1914 to have told it's people that the
English were nation of shopkeepers" with
talent for war; and who probably wouldn't leave their
ease to fight anyway. The German soldiers had to
learn the truth on the battle lines of France and it
cost them dear to learn
Probably some such contemptuous underestima-
ton Of Japanese audacity and daring Ito say nothing
of the underestimation of Japanese treachery and
perfidy) had something to do with the tragedy at
Pearl Harbor
Let us look our enemies squarey in the face
therefore, and measure our task at full height
The idea that Germany Cor even Italy, is on the
point of collapse internally, that either is likely to
rise against it's leader might well be put out Of
mind Immediately.
From the best information can get, the Ger
man mood today is one of determined desperation for
all Germans believe whether they like Hitler or not
that they must win the and live, lose it and
pass out Of existence as nation. It makes differ
why they feel that way it does not matter that
this mood has been induced by the most intensive and
UnscrupulOus propaganda the world has ever seen
1t exists Germans for 10 years have been told exact
ly what their masters wish them to hear, and nothing
else. Even those who think for themselves see that
they must win-or else Such people does not stop
fighting and it be beaten only by superior force
Japan's military prowess is no longer open to-
doubt. To suggest that the Japanese people will not
fight desperately to the very end is to misunderstood
their mentality. They have been brought up from
babyhood in the belief that to die for the Emperor is
to live forever. To them the Emperor is virtually
god and the idea of questioning any mission which
he is sent never enters the mind of Japanese
soldier That the breaking of treaty is breach Of
faith and an evil would enter his mind either
since to him any act decided by the Emperor
Priest-God for the good of the nation is right
treaties regarded merely temporary means to
an end in true Hitler fashion.
Neither of these enemies is going to collapse or
give in for any reason except through being over
whelmed by superior military force. We must not for
moment deude ourselves that any other outcome is
