COMPULSORY SOLDIERING
The British government is wise de-
ciding not to resort to conscription. if
the experience of the United States
counts for anything, Britain will get
along ,beltel' with her volunteer meth-
od.
By far tiiegreatest number of Union
soldiers in our civil war were volun-
teers. II‘he draft system was resorted
to in 1256-3, when enlistments were un-
satisfactory, The drafting, however,
was not absolute; it was a compro-
miseoi conscription and taxation. it
a man'didn’t want to tight; and had
money enough, he could buy immunity
by paying a tax to the government, or
could hire a substitute. Of the 206,678
men drafted during the war, 73,607
hired other men to do their fighting
for them and 86.724 paid "commuta-
tion" to the government. That only
left 43,347 men actually drafted into
the northern army.
The system, of course, was extrem-
ely unjust. It discriminated against
the poor man, who could not afford to
buy immunity from military service.
The result was generally ill feeling
against the prosperous classes, who
were able to stay at home and make
money out of the war while their less
fortunate neighbors were suffering and
dying at the front.
Great Britain is devotinguher money
and energy [to stimulating voluntary
enlistment, and has had remarkable
success. She will never resort to con-
scription unless as a last resort, to
save the empire from destruction.
This is the way to democracies. Con-
scription is the device of autocracy.
France has endured it because 3 her
people, convinced that their safety was
constantly menaced, were willing to
submit to it. In America it isn’t like-
ly_ that the population will ever again
. tolerate this extreme step, the favorite;
device of the militaribtsfiCertalnly we
shall not be'stsmpeded by the lingoes
‘ to endure compulsory military service
‘ ‘ of any sort or degree in time of peace.

NEU‘TR‘LITY AND LOGIC,
Commenting on the American note
" to Germany, in answer to Ambassador
vou-Bernstorif’s criticism of our new.
traiity,'ihe*neriin Morgsnposi said.»
‘lNobody outside the White House
believes that the delivery of arms and
other supplies is not in violation._of
_‘neutrality, and that its prohibition-
. ‘ would be unneutral. But it remains for
' . Mr. Bryan to‘prociaim with such cyni-
cal frankness that the weapon frame
‘ with one bellgeren‘t "is real neutrality:

ing war stuff coincides with ours.
though it has gone further at times.
No other nation in the world has sold
such great quantities of guns, ammu-
nition and small arms to other nations
as has Germany. She has sold them in
times of peace and times or‘war. in
the Russo-Japanese war Russia got
most of her arms and ammunition
from Germany-the Krupps factories
worked day and night for Russia
throughout the war, and'nobody in der-
many’s neutrality. The benefits of that
traffic to Russia, and the incidental to—
jury to depart, were incom-parably.
greater than any possible effect our
traillc in arms may have on the pres-
ent war. it was Germany, too, that
armed Turkey in her last war against
the Balkan states, and even supplied
German officers to fire the German
guns against the Greeks, Serbians and
Bulgarians. .
As for the threat of the Vosslche
Zeltung, it may be mentioned qispas-
sionately that there are some things of
this sort that Americans have not for;
gotten, though they have not influ-l
enced our policy toward Germany. We;
have not forgotten, for example, that;
during the most critical period of our"
relations with Mexico last year, a Ger-1
man shlpload of arms and ammunition:
was sent to the Mexican revolutionistsl
in defiance of our embargo, and mall
when we landed troops at Vera‘ Cruz:
and intercepted the cargo, the guns,
and cartridges were sneaked in and;
landed at a neighboring port for use?
against our army and navy.

DRIVING OUT THE QUAOKS
_ A spring house-cleaning , against
quack doctors and fake medical insti-
tutes seems to be in progress. New
York gathered up fifty-four prisoners
in one raid the other day, since when
men and women of practicaly every
nationality have been. pouring into the
offices of Chief Magistrate McAdoo and 1
Mrs. Marian Clark, chief investigator
for the Bureau of industries and Immi-
gration of the State Department of La-
bor, eager to tell of the large amounts
of money they have been forced to‘
pay for fake cures.
New Jersey has been busily engig-
ed trying to round up the alleged dope
cures which have been flooding the
states since the enforcing of the Boy-
lan anti-drug law (which pro ceded the
Harrison law in 'New York) drove
drug-users in number across the bord»
er. Most of these alleged cures are but
cloaks for selling the narcotic drugs at
enormous prices.
Chicago is after its fake dentistry at
present. Two ”professors’ of a “col-
lege of new dentistry' which claimed
to teach dentists a sure cure for pyor-
rhea for $350 are the latest celeb.
