BERNARD F. GAFFNEY, Judge. DEFENSE COUNCIL PROTESTS ON DRAFT (€ontinued from First Page.) census in card form. The date of this census is so recent as to make it per- fectly reliable for our present use. The card records disclose the ages, nationalities, occupations and nu- merous other characteristics of the individuals recorded thereon, and tabulations made therefrom form, in large measure, the basis of the state- ments and arguments hereinafter made. Population Grossly Exaggerated “We beg to call vour attention to the fact that the method of appor- tlonment used for the first draft has operated in several ways to impose unfair burdens upon this state. “First: It grossly exaggerated the population of the state, thereby in- creasing the quota requirdd without adding in any way to the supply of men from whom the quota must be drawn. ““The census of 1910 gives Connecti- cut a population of 1,114,000. In fur- nishing his recent estimate to the war department the director of census ar- bitrarily - ‘estimated’ the population } now to be 1.719,623. Admitting that our population has. considerably in- creased since 1910, due chiefly to the demands of war industries for labor, nevertheless the most reliable data indicates a present population of not exceeding 1,350,000. These data are available but for the sake of brevity are not herein set forth. The total registration in Connecticut, made in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Act, was 159,890, but of that number 34,276 are married and have dependents as well. “Second: The inclusion of aliens in the registration works injustice to Connecticut. “Of the 159,890 registrants about 58,000 are friendly or neutral aliens who have not taken out their first papers and who are, therefore, not liable to draft. Tt will be seen that these aliens in our state increased the total of our registration by more than 50 per cent of what it would have been had they not resided here. And furthermore, by the arbitrary cal- culation made by the war department these 58,000 aliens are mede the basis for an increment of population am- ounting to over 500,000 in number, al- though it is well known that a very large proportion of these aliens are unmarried laborers and mechanics who represent themselves alone and do not increase the state’s population save by their presence here. The in- justice involved is made even more glaring when it is remembered that these 58,000 aliens are all exempt from military service and not con- tribute one man to Conecticut's draft quota “There is another and a very un- fortunato condition in connection with the presence of these exempt aliens ‘in the state which seems to have been entirely overlooked by the war department, namely: that they will, during the war, continue in their’ present employment, enjoving the highest wage scale ever known in the history of the state while their com- patriots who have become’ citizens or have taken out their first papers will be compelled to enter the military service of the country. This condi- tion of course will tend to stop com- pletely the naturalization of all such exempt aliens. The remedy for this «condition would seem to be the draft- ing of all exempt allens whose na- tive countries will consent to the process and the deportation of ex- empt aliens whose céuntires will not so consent. State Role in Munition Making. Third: Conecticut’s war industries add to its military burden. “When the great war began in 1914 Connecticut already had, as compared with other states, an abnormal num- ber of its male population employed in industries which have since hecome engaged in the manufacture of muni- tions and of other war material, and the very considerable additions made to our male population since that date have for the most part found employ ment in such industries. of our recent censu approximately 101,000 registragits li- able for draft—I. e. citizens, or al- iens who have taken out their first papers—over 26,000—i. e. more than 25 per cent—are engaged in such work. These registrants to a very large extent will be properly exempt from draft, and, therefore, taking into acount those who will be exempt by reason of occupation and because they are maried and have dependents, it is altogether probable that less than 50 per cent of the total number of 159.890 registrants are actually liable for military service. “Here again it will be noticed that the presence in this state of the great | factories which are expected to fur- | nish over 50 per cent of the nation’s suply of arms and munitions aug- ments the number of our registrants but decreases the available supply of men for military service. Yet umder the operation of the system adopted by the war department the demand made upon Conecticut for soldiers is | very sensibly increased because of the | large number of munitions workers here. “Fourth: Connecticut’s was complete. “Having on hand as a result of the Tecent census a complete list of the male inhavitants required to register under the Registration Act, the gov- registration ItIs As' Much Your Duty to SaveYour Eyes As It Is Ours S. STANLEY HORVITZ, OPTOMETRIST OPTICIAN 327 MAIN STREET General Reductions Throughout the Ladies’ Departments ernor of Connecticut caused to be sent to each a notice that he was by law compelled to register with instruc- tions for compliance with such obliga- tion. Lists of those required to regis- ter were sent to the registers in cach voting district throughout the state and public notices given of this pro- cedure. Can it be denied thar the existence of this record and the use made of it resulted in a more full and complete registration than would otherwise have been the case or then was the case in other states where no such aids were available? “There can be no doubt in our op- inion that our census record again swelled our number of registrants and under the method adopted by the war department our ‘‘estimated” popula- tion, thus bringing about another ad- dition to Connecticut's draft allot- ment. It is not reasonable to suppose that incomplete registrations may have decreased, perhaps very largely, the quotas of certain other states. Claimg Can Be Proved. “The mere statement of the fore- going reasons is conclusive and does not admit of serious or successful controversion. The case is aboslutely demonstrated. The facts alleged are susceptible of proof, and the unfair- ness of the burden laid upon this state canont be denied. The war de- partment and the census bureau es- tablished by the existing fallacious and incorrect theory by means of which Conecticut’s quota has been de- termined. It would therefore seem to be in their power to abandon the misleading and unreliable ‘Estimates of Population’ which are responsible for the serious injustice to this state. There is indeed reason to believe that the so-called ‘Estimates of Popula- tion' have caused a violation of both the spirit and the letter of Section 4 of the law under which they new army is created. The said section dis- tinctly states: $ Each State * * * shall be re- quired to supply its quota in pro- portion that its population bears to the total population of the United States. “How can it be held then that an arbitrary estimate or guess, which ac- cording to the best obtainable infor- mation attributes to Connecticut a population larger by about 400,000 or 30 per cent than that which the state actually contalns, complies with the language of the act just quoted? We close therefore as we began by pressing upon your attention the necessity for forthwith changing the rule of apportionment as applied to Connecticut by the war department, based on the erroneous and mislead- ing estimate furnished by the census bureau, so that a more equitable and just levy may be made in acordance with the facts and considerations here set forth. And may we not insist hat justice to our state can be had only by means of a credit to be given when ensuing quotas are levied? This credit should equal the number in ex- ces of Conecticut’s fair allotment ap- protioned to this state under the re- cent draft. This excess we believe to be at least 4,000. “Connecticut expects and desires to do her full duty in this war in fur- nishing men, money and materials, and service of all kinds for the na- tion’s use as it has done in every pre- vious war in which this country has been engaged. Great demands will be made upon this state but they will be cheerfully met if justly imposed. “Yours very truly, (Signed) RICHARD M. BISSELL, “Chairman.” NEWSPAPER WAIFS.

Co. 100 shs American Hardware \ Henry Clews’ Weekly Letter (Special to the Herald.) New York, Aug. 4—The war drags on with its weary waste of life and property. Peace is still the subject of active discussion; for it is the one end which all nations seek, and yet its realization still remains remote. Ger- many evidently wants peace and wants its badly; not only because of long continued exhaustion and threatened breakdown, but also because she Wwould rather discuss terms while in a good position for making concessions and trades. So long as she holds por- tlons of France, Belgium, Russia and Southwestern Europe, she is better able to negotiate than when these are lost, as they must be ultimately. Our own preparations are being pushed upon a most vigorous and extensive scale, and the determination to do our full share will unquestionably grow as time progresses, particularly when the reality of the struggle dawns upon that portion of our people who have not even yet awakened to the great issues at stake, nor to the gravity of the situation. The greatest hope for peace at present rests in the possibil- ity of a collapse of some sort within the ranks of German militarism or in the withdrawal of some of the Cen- tral Powers from the war. Again the submurine campaign has met its answer in our foreign trade returns. During the fiscal year end- ing June 30, our overseas trade ag- gregated 53,000,000, which we the largest total on record, and ex- ceeded the previous record of 1916 by over §2,400,000,000. The relative im- potence of the submarine was further {llustrated by the fact that our ex- ports, which are naturally objects of keener atlack than imports, amounted to $6.294,000,000 or $1,960,000,000 more than a year ago, which was the previous banner year. The excess of exports over imports for the year was $3,635,000,000, against $2,135,000,000 a year ago. So much for the subma- rine, which was to destroy the com- merce of Germany’s enemies and frighten them into submission, but has done neither. On the contrary, our commerce has grown enormously and that of Great Britain has been practically sustained at nearly normal figures in spite of the British loss of tonnage. The submarine policy in- stead of frightening Germany's ene- mies, has simply made them more de- termined, than ever to win this war, and exact retribution for inhuman methods. Another stimulus arising from the German submarine policy, which is acting for our benefit . and German detriment, is the wonderful development of American shipping. In July new shipping and shipbuilding concerns with an authorized capital aggregating nearly $20,000,000 were incorporated, making $330,000,000 since the war began. The bulk of this total, or $226,000,000, has heen an- nounced since January 1. Such ex- traordinary development of American shipping would not have been possible within so brief a period but for the German submarine. Great Britain, the United States, Japan, Holland, Norway and Canada are building ships today at the rate of probably more than 5,000,000 tons per annum, compared with losses of about 7,- 000,000 tons or less. As the world’s tonnage is about 40,000,000, the chances of submarine success are growing less and less in view of the rapid increase in shipbuilding and the more efficient methods of dealing with the submarines. Incidentally, it is worth noting that new shipbuilding is Deing accelerated much more ef- fectively by high freight rates than by any government action, since all efforts by the government toward regulating freights or keeping down rates promptly discourage private enterprise. One other lesson in our foreign trade returns must also be noted, and that is the wisdom of this country having so liberally aided in financing the war. The enormous in- crease in our exports noted above is almost entirely due to the liberal purchases of our Allies which would not have been possible without the extensive credits and loans that have already been granted them. This pol- icy of aid not only greatly stimulated our foreign and domestic trade, bul also immensely strengthened our credit resources through gold impor- tations, giving us a status as a great commercial and banking nation which would not have otherwise been pos-' sible, even by vears of strenuous competition. Aside from the midsummer quiet, the general busine: situation con- tinues satisfactory. The greatest feas ture of encouragement is the crop outlook which steadily improves Latest returns indicatc that we shall produce somcthing like & billion more bushcls of grain than a year ago, which at present high prices means great prosperity for the agricultural districts. The corn crog promises to be a record breaker, oI nearly that. The wheat crop hi turned out much better than antic pated and it is calculated that with reasonable- economy we. may be able to let Burope have about 100,000,000 bushels more than last year. Cotton is also doing well. although the govs ernment monthly report was below general expectations. The next stimue lant of importance is the ecnormous prospective expenditures for war sup< plies during the fiscal year, which may reach not less than $10,000,000,000 for ourselves and Allies. The significance of this does not need to be expanded" upon. Its importance, however, can be measured by the fact that previous ta our entry into the war the leading belligerents had been spending at the rate of about $20,000,000,000 annually and even more lately. The earnings of our leading railroads and industria} concerns continue to show very hand: some gains. On the other hand, ex- penses are usually rising faster than gross results, so that with increased expense and heavy taxation ahead, not to speak of the prabability of fixed prices, it looks as if many concerns had reached if not passed the zenith of great profits. August dividend pay- ments amounted to over $160,000,000, the largest August on record, due partly to extra dividend payments and partly to increased payments on for- elgn loan. Thé new railroad and in= dustrial issues in July figured at $135, 000,000, %a decrease of only $1,000,000, which was a very good regult con= sidering the huge diversion of capital to Liberty loan Of last named total $77,000,000 were in notes, which under existing uncertainties seethed the most- favorite mode of financing. Since January 1, new issues have reached $1,081,000,000, a decrease of $388,- 000,000 in seven months. The total ue of fareign loans in this country - since January 1 was $485,000,000. In addition our own Liberty loan ab- sorbed up to July 31 about $2,000,000,- 000, including what was turned over to the Allies. Another indication of industrial activity resulting from the war was the enormous amount going into oil productiongnew companies re- ported since the war began in 1914 being $1,016,000,000. The outlook for the stock market is favorable despite the innumerable problems ahead awaiting solution. Our general financial and industrial situa- tion is sound, and all extens{ve opera- tion in the future are generally de- ferred until a period of greater cer- tainity. The effects of the embargoes upon exports of steel, food and other products must be taken into consideras tlon. Also the forthcoming regulation of shipping, through neither may be a determent if v exercised. The problems of tax: . trade regulation, fixing, ete., which are now ab- ing attention at Washington are inevitably unsettling; and yet the fu- ture is hopeful in many respects. Leading stocks are in strong hands, the money situation is satisfactory, and the railroads should before long reflect the better rates granted in cer- tain sections. Consequently the posi- tion of the market is one that will justify an advance in prices on reli- able announcement of favorable wan news hereafter, which may be reason- bly expected from the present outlook.
