DRAFf SYSTEM
SflfETlf VALVE
Washington, April 27.—The sel
ective conscription plan of the ad
ministration's army, bill is termed a
"aafe'y valve" for tha Uinjted
States, In, a letter written, by Presi
dent Wilson to Congressman. Hel
vering of Kansas. The letter In
part, follows:
"1 welcome the inquiry of your
letter of April 19 because I have
realized the truth, of whai you eay
from my own observations, namely
that what is meant to be understood
by tbe selective draft ds not gen
f.-taily understood throughout the
country.
"Our object is a ^mobilization of
all the productive and active forc
es of 'he nation, and their devel
opment. to the higluest point of co
operation and efficiency, and the
idea c* the selective draft is that
those should bo chosen for service
in the army who can. be most read
liljy SiParod from the proeooution of
the other activities which, the coun
try must engage in and to which it
must devote a great deal of its
best energy and capacity.
Would Protect Industries
"The volimteeu system does not
ido this. When, men choose them
selves they sometimes choose with
out du0 regard to their responsi
bilities. Men may tome from the
farms or from the mines or from
the factories or centers of business
who ought not to come, but ought
to staud back of the armies in tho
field and see that they get every
thing 4 ha' they need and that the
people of the country ana sustained
in the meantime.
"Tho principle of the selective
draft, in short, has at Its heart this
idea tsat there is a universal ob
ligation to serve and that a publio
authority should choose those up
on whom the obligation of military
service shall Test and also in a
sense choose thos© who shall do
the rest « f the nations work.
Universal Service
"The bill, if adopted, will do mare
I believe than any other single
instrument to create th.e impres
sion c* universal service iui the amy
and cut of it, and If properly atU
ministers." will ba a great source of
stimulation.
"Those who feel that we are turn
ing away altogether i!rom the vol
untary principle seem to forget that
6oane 60.0,000 men will be needed
to fill th^ ranks of the regular ar
my and th.e national guard and that
a very great field of individual en
thusiasm lies there wide open."

Knotty Problem Confronts United

CONFIDENT OF SOLVING IT.
Do Not Expect It Will Bo Easy Task,
However—Latest German Submersi

of Armed Merchant Craft.
Washington.—Nary department ad
vices Indicate that Germany has laid
down no new capital ship or destroyer
during the war, confining new con
struction to submarines. Battleships,
battle cruisers and destroyers building
when the war began hare been fin
ished, but aside from them Germany'^

voted their efforts to turning out large
numbers of submarines and to Improv

submarines. Anion? other tilings, re
ports show tli.it Germany probably has
200 1,000-ton submarines of the newer
type capable of a wide radius of action
and greater execution than any devised
by other nations.
The very latest German submarines
have considerably thicker skins than
earlier types and are said to be able to
take considerable punishment from
light guns, especially in clashes with
armed merchant craft
The understanding is that the Ger
man navy has largely standardized
submarine construction and can turn
out the largest underwater craft In
large numbers in a short time.
In view of the feverish activity of
the German navy in turning out sub
marines, naval experts are not inclined
to belittle the task which lies before
the United States and the allies in
ridding the high seas of the under
water menace. If Germany can turn
out large, powerful submarines in
great numbers and keep them coming
steadily the task will prove anything
but easy.
The fact that the tonnage destroyed
since Feb. 1 has been far below the
figure set by Berlin has encouraged the
belief in the allied countries that Ger
many has already passed her maxi
mum in utilizing the submarine to
"starve" England and the nations
□ guuiiK nuu mui wuuuj,
But American naval oflicers are not
inclined to take this view. Although
they are confident the submarine prob
lem will be solved, they will not be
surprised if it tnkes a long time.
Naval preparations for all emergen
cies have settled down largely to rou
tine. Instead of being in haste navy
department officials and navy officers
go about their tasks with cool determi
nation. Some of the higher officers skip
the barber shop occasionally and work
long hours in their offices and in their
homes after office hours. Hut there is
no outward evidence of excitement in
or about the navy department The
machinery is in smooth running order
and appears to be working with pre
cision.
PISTOL THREAT HOLDS MAID.
Society Leader Takes Drastic Step to
Prevent Servant From Leaving.
Evanston, 111.—The practice of old
feudal Kentucky of shooting those who
invade your home in search of some
thing you own will be staged in staid
old Evanston unless other women
cease enticing away the maids of one
society leader late from "down south."
Annie, maid extraordinary, is the
bone of contention.
"I am leaving Saturday night," said
Annie after a talk with one of her mis
tress' friends. "Mrs. Jones will pay
me higher wages."
"Down where I come from," drawled
the mistress, "they shoot people for
taking things of a whole lot less value
than servants. You can go with Mrs.
Jones if you want to. But some day I
am going to call on Mrs. Jones. Either
she or you is going to answer the door.
I am going to shoot the first one of you
1 see. That's all."
Annie is holding down the old Job,
and Mrs. Jones is not nearly so anxious
to hire her as she believed she was.
