Since the first of April the volun- teer system of securing recruits for he United States army, navy and na- ional guard has been on trial. resuit has been that there has been a daily addition to each one of these or- ganizations to the total extent of about a half million men. This of course means accepted applicants and not the total number that has applied for ad- mission to one of these branches of the national service, for while a great many more have sought to give their services to the country than have been accepted they have not been able to meet the standard of requirements for one reason or another. But in spite of s ch additions as have been secured by this method the fur 1 quota of the regular army has been obtained. There is still need 0,000 for the army, or there was the opening of this week. In the special drive that is being made at the present time to obtain the full number by the first of July a special appeal is being made throughout the country in behalf of volunteers be- tween the ages of 18 and 45, who are unmarried and who are not connected with any branch of industry where their services would be more valuable to the country than on the firing line, and in view of the thousands who have prociaimed their anxiety to give their services to Uncle am in the cause for which this nation is fight- ing, there ought to he no {rouble whatever in attaining the desired goal. With the arrival of the first large contingent of American soldiers in France, those who want to fight should ealize that by enlisting in the res- nulare and the bringing of the quota P to ab 300,000 they are offered opportunity of being among the tha early divisions to be =ent to Europe. Connectieut is still some distance from furnishing its share of volun- cers. It has never before been found anting when the call was issued for men and it is not believed that it will on oceasion. he this RUSSIA WILL STICK AND FIGHT. Russia from the days before the revolution has been face to face with + complex situation. It has not only »een forced to mtend with the forces ich are fighting it from without but it has had its hands full with those which are actively at work within. This was increased when the change took piace in that country which saw the passing of the czar z up of a free Russia. Russia dis- of a powerful influence which was in league with the kaiser when it and the set- shook off the Romanoffs but has since had to deal with the factions mong its own people to say nothing f the cunning German propaganda which has been at work in an endea- » make a failure of the new gov- ernment. = only the other.day that Am- Bakhmeteff, recently sent to this couhtry by the new government ts representative, appealed to the nited States senate for patience with country in tHe adjusting of the reat difficulties which are confronted here. Russian uncertainty has been the cause for much anxiety not only in this country but among the nations of entente, but the conditions are bound 16 improve there if the ambas- lor's statwment is based upon a thorough knowledge of the conditions and there is every reason to believe that s. As if to confirm it there now comes the report to the effect that the work- men’s and soldiers’ council of deputies have adopted a resolution categorical- Iy rejecting any move for a separate peace between Russia and Germany, the object for which German propa- ganda has been bending ail its efforts. It is indicated by that resolution that Russia, as represented by this counell, wants peace but it wants an honorable me and it is determined to fizht far i DA WA ame ey yinder moieRI® 0 The} The problem which is faced is to bring the war to an end at the earliest pos- sible moment but it must be done by a decisive victory and that is what they are determined to aid in accom- plishing. The fact that Russia will do its part is a decision of the utmost im- portance and the declarations which have come from Elihu Reot now in that country further confirms the de- termination of Russia In that direc- tion. THAT MESOPOTAMIA BLUNDER It has been some time since tho British met with their disastrous de- feat in Mesopotamia, when an expedi- tion was sent against Bagdad without provision being made for the neces- sary support, either in men or sup- plies. as the result of which they were defeated before that city and forced to retire upon Kut-el-Amara only to be surrounded and a large force com- pelled to surrender, although a sec- ond army has been able after a long delay to accomplish that which the previous one was unable to achieve. It was thoroughly understood at the time that there had been a needless saerifice of men and material. It was evident that someone had blundered and blundered badiy and an investiga- | tion has been underway for the deter- ! mination of those who were to blame. | The result of this search for the facts {in the case has just been made pub- {lic and while it shows that the fault {lay in the preparations which were made it moes further than that and points out the individual responsibil- ity for that flasco. Such a blunder cannot be overcome at this late date. The harm has been done but it affair can be permitted to happen again, and. it was because of that that the facts were obtained and the report made public. This was not the oniy in- stance where mistakes were made but)| if there is going to be any profit from such unfortunate conditions the need of knowing where the trouble lay was apparent that this has now been fixed, those who were at fault have paid the penalty for their incompetence and the example which must be avoided has been clearly set forth. Tt has cost tremendously for Great Britain to-find out where its incom- peténts were, not only in this case but in others, but it has shown a dis- lno!it!on to zet the proper - lessons therefrom and that has beem of the greatest value, however zalling it was at the time the errors were commit- ted. AMERICAN TROOPS IN FRANCE. While much has been said by the kaiser and other Germans about the inability of the United States anything which would be of benefit to ‘the allies, by its entrance into the war, before next year, the arrival in France of the first contingent of Amer- ican troops and with others on the way, together with 125 airplane ex- perts not only causes elation among the peopie of France and those of this country but it makes it apparent that Germany has been attempting to d2- iude itself with false hopes and that its officials have been doing their ut- most to calm the fears of the German people. * The transfer of the troops has been accomplished with despatch and safe- ty but it is not to be supposed that any thanks are due to the comman- ders of the U-boats, but rather Is th successful crossing the result of the carrying out of the necessary details by the convoving warships Landed on French soil, as if return- inz help which that nation or leaders thereof gave to this country years ago, the American troops are those which are thoroughiy trained for service. Their departure was known as well as their ultimate destination, but the press of the country have carefully refrained from permitting this infor- mation to be spread broadcast. This country found the needed transports, it had the men and it furnished the convoy and the entire movement has been accomplished In spite of such ef- forts as Germany has put forward to block it and regardless of the deris- ion which Germany has repeatedly ex- pressed concerning American ability to put an army in the field. That this arrival of American trooj the same as the coming of General Pershing, is going to have an im- portant effect upon the allied troops which are already on the firing line is evidenced in no better manner than by the reception which was given them on reaching a French port. It makes it plain to them as it does to every- one else that this country is in the war to do its part and de it unflinch- ingly. | EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner savs: Even the optimistic among the autoists carry an extra tire when they go au- | tomobiling. It is a wise decision that there can be pienty of patriotism displayed on Independence day without the use of dangerous explosives. Thus far no special designation has been ziven to next week lo'}joom any movement, but there is stffl time to arrange for some particular drive. From the w in which the armed liners and freighters are making hite and frightening off the submarines, it is quite evident why Germany was so much opposed to placing guns aboard them. With the Polish members refusing to support the needed war credit pro- posed in the reichsrat. and Czech reg- iments deserting to the Russians, Aus- tria’s troubles are piling up in a se- { rious manne; With the placing of a fine of 250,- 000,000 francs upon Rumania. Ger- many is using the same tactics there that it did in Belgium, although of course it had not promised to pro- tect Rumania. If the promise of the coal producers to sell their product at fair priees amounts to no more than that of the news print paper manufacturers, the time that was taken to get it might just as well have been saved. It is useiess to offer excuses for the way in which the British prisoners have died in Turke: That country has a reputation which cannot be cov- ered up by excuses, however plausible they might be in the case of others.

Just iately he has been in Egypt, ad- dressing military and other audiences. Mr. Burroughs has the gift of put- ting old truths in a new and fascin- ating eetting—hence the large sales of his books. Other churches than his own—for instance, the Presbyterian— have lateiy invited him to address clerical gatherings. He is only 36.

The no- tice warns candidates for a certain examination that “entries are only being made for 12 years' service, and not for duration of war.” The bo; scouts have something to live for, this is “official.” A story about the late Lord Kitch- who was, according to “Every- “the most distinguished bach- he world,” is toid in that mag- When he was in India a youns azine. member of his staff asked for fur- lough in order to go home and . be married. Kitchener listened to him patiently, then he said, “You're not vet twenty-five. Wait a year. If then you still desire to do this thing, you shall have leave.” The year passed. The officer once more proffered his re- quest. “After thinking it over for twelve months,” said Kitchener, “you still wish to marry?’ “Yes. sir." “Very well, vou shall have vour fur- lough. And frank'y, my boy, I scarce- thought there was €0 much con- stancy in the masculine world.” The staff ~ officer. the story concludes, marehed to the door, but turned to say as he was leaving: “Thank you, sir. Only it's not the same woman.” The following story from a corre- spondent is commended to those peo- ple who wonder how some men get decorations and honors, to §ay noth- ing of staff obs. A certain irascible General sent a request to the colonel of a regiment that he would send him an officer to be trained for staff work. The colonel, being a conscientisus man, picked out the cleverest of his suba‘terns and eent him to headquar- ters. Three days afterwards he came back. The General said he mizht be very. clever, and all that, but he could not” stand his Cockney accent. (We ay. say the Gemeral fas a “dug-out”) The colonel, very disgustéd, said to the adjutant, “Send along the biggest ass we have.” _ So the adjutant selected a charm- ing young man who had been one of the leading jeunts premiers on the stage before the war. Every day they they expected him to be sent back to the baitalion, but instead, in a week’s time came a message from the Gen- eral to say he was delighted with the young man, and thanked the coioned for sending him. He said he had such a beautiful voice/that he sang to him every night after dinner. Now that young actor flaunts red tabs all over him and has the ribon of the Mi: tary Cross decorating his maniy chest! We may note that the German “Kingdom of Poland’ has shrunk in the wash. The German Government now announces that it will consist of the Polish territory beyond the rivers Ravka, Narew, and Bzura. This means’ the exciusion of the provinces of Kalisza, Pletrokoff, Plock, Lomaza, Suwalki, and part of the province of Warsaw. In other words, Germany intends to retain under her own mil- itary administration three-fourths of Russian Poland, leaving only one- fourth to form the “Kingdom of Po- land.” No one need be surprised at this development. The truth is that the Poles were invited to prove their worth for a_self-governing kingdom by making themselves into an army to fight for Germany. The invitation proved abso.utely . unattractive and Germany now withdraws the reward promised to those who have shown so littie appreciation of Kultur.—The London Saturday TExaminer.

Several inquirers have been informed of late that ‘Dora” malkes it impossible for their requests to be granted. “Dora” is a ways in evidence.

Curiously enough, the mem- bership has lonsz been exciusively Russian. and on the club rolls figure some of the greatest names in modern history. The price of beer, now a topic of fierce controversy, has given trouble for centuries. A leading feature of Jack Cade's revolutionary programme, according to Shakespeare. was the lowering the cost ¢ ale by increa: ing the number of “hoops” on the pot. Threepence per quart was the price fixed for best beer by an Act passed in the relgn of William TL; but when the malt tax was increased in 1761 the pub'icans. at the bidding of their brewers. proceeded to charze 3 1-2 . quart. This being lllegal, several pub- licans in Westminster were summoned and heavily fined. As a result, the price was quickly lowered, but not be- fore their customers had proved their indignation at the extortion of “the trade” by wrecking the public-houses.

The destrover was able to find one boat load of 19 men. A second boat containing 18 men is missing, and it is feared has been lost. Six members of the engine room crew were killed when a torpedo struck the ship with- out warning, several hundred miles from the nearest land. “We were torpedoed at 6 o'clock Monday morning,* the second officer told the correspondent, “the explosion hole through the ship and Two boats sot away. but soon becam separated and we fear one has gone down, “After we were out nerly 24 hours and were enduring awful hardships, we were hailed by an American de- stroyer. 1 tell you Old Glory never looked so good to me before. We were treated with the utmost kindness by the Amreican tars. and were their guests the whole day before they breught us in. We feel that we owe our lives to the bravery of these boys from the states, who are daily prov- ing their reputations as sailors and good sportsmen.” The survivors were sent to a salilors’ Rome here, while the captain made a report to Vice Admiral Sims as acting commander of the British forces in these waters.

It was my first intimation that we were tor- pédoed. I ran aft. There was wreck- age all about and the crew were gai- ting into the boats. The torpedo hit the engine room and forced the cargo up through the hatches. Several of the engine room crew were killed and T heard that several others were un- able to get out of their bunks. “All those alive after the explosion sot away in four boats. The remain- ing boats were cut loose, 80 as not to £0 down with the ship. -All this time we saw no sybmarine, but when forty | yards from the sinking ship a subma- rine appeared alongside of us. her crew crawling out of the eonning tow- ed and laughed at our predament. “The commander asked our captain the name of the ship, which was Brit- ish, and her destination. When this was given the submarine crew laugh- ed and jeered again and made off. We sailed and rowed for thirty hours. Our rations were getting low, especially the fresh water supply, when good for- tune smiled on us in the form of an American destroyer.” CANNING LESSONS Sugar in Jelly Making.
