ROW DEMOCRACY WORKS
Early in the summer Sec-re
tiry Biker announced t.iu
li t 10 weie LAO,OlK) trooos in
i nu ope. Immeuiattly a Germ in
w ir official proclaimed to tin
German peoble that tnis statv -
nient of Mr. linker's was nol
t rue, bee .use it could n.a be
true.
He slid we did’nt have an
a liny of that size, and trial if we
had it would have been impossi
ble for us to have sent the men
to Luroi e because of our lack oi
ships, ana that eve 1 nad we boats
enough to c irry them, the Ger
man submarines would have
sent them to the bottom before
i
they reached their ports of des-1
tin ition.
He concluded this remarkable
1 i use-that Jack built statement
with the assurance that German
soldiers would never have any
tiling to fear from American
soldiers.

As to the cost, it is to b
noted that the bill for the dral
is far less per man than fo
volunteering. In 1914 it cost $24
4b for recruiting a man into th
volunteer system, in 191b itwa
$19.14, and for nine month
just before we went to war i
was $2b.95.
During the first year of the
war down to the seventh of April
1918, official reports show that
the cost for registering each
man was 54 cents. The cost for
each man called was $1.69, and
the cost for each man accepted
for service came to $4.63.
Our Army is, every American
believes, the finest body of hum
an beings the sun ever shone on.
It is fit to fight that the world
may be made safe for democracy
and it is built strictly on the
lines of democracy.
The millionaire and the humb
lest laborer march side by side.
Officers are drawn from every
walk of J fe. No in m is exempt
ed bee uis j he is rich. None are
drafted because they are poor.
Men are measured by their
willingness or their capacity.
P vst. or caste, or creeds are
not taken into account.
Thus the selective draft lias
become a badge of honorable
service.
