l LOCAL SPIRIT IN RECRUITING.
There seems to be no good reason
lolly army recruits from any particu-
lar locality should he uttered
through various organizations and sta-
tioned in posts all over the country.
The general staff has been consider-
ing a proposal to change the present
local spirit. Regiments and other
army units would be constituted. so
far a: possible. of men from the same
sistt, or at least the same section. and
these organisations would be station-
”1.
lstead of being scattered through the
i The. plan ought to work well. To be
‘sure, there is something to be gained
by the travel incidental to sending
men to distant posts, and there is a
“campaign" 10“ the‘broadening effect In association with
.conlrades from other sections of the
country. But in geenral, it is doubt
less true that s recruit would rather
belong to a company or regiment of
his own kind—his friends and nelgh
‘bors, with like experience and sympa-
thies, And no doubt any state would
take more pride in having the troops
within its borders consist of its own
citizens than of men from other
states. I
If, as most military men seem to be-
lieve. such a plan would really stimu-
late recruiting. it should be adopted
by all means. It is going to be dime
cult enough, at best, to get men
enough to bring the army up to the
strength required by the new law.
The Secretary of War is said to have
authority lo adopt this policy without
further legislation.

OUR ROLE AFTER THE WAR.
Although Great Britain is taking
pains to let Americans understand that
they must not urge peace premature-
ly, there is no lack of evidence that
the British will welcome our coopera-
tion to prevent future wars when the
present conflict has been fought to a
definite decision. The matter has been
amirably put. within a few days, by
Lord Bryce. who understands America
better than any other British states
man, and whose word is more induen
tial here than thai‘ol any other Briton
“Many of us,"-he said in a London
interview. “have been anxiously con-
SIdering what can be done after the
war to prevent the recurrence of such
sufferings and calamities as we have
been witnessing There are those of‘
us who have framed a scheme for the
creation of some international machin-
ery for that purpose—(some league of
peace—loving nations to secure an
amicable settlement of disputes and to
by power and selfishness to attack its
neighbors; ‘ l '
“We have thought best not to give
publiicty'to these schemes while the
national mind is so much absorbed
with the conduct of the way? Now,
however. that victory seems coming
into sight ,the reasons for this to-
serve may soon disappear.” In Alneri-
