SELECTIVE SERVICE
IS A GREAT LEVELER.
Special to Independent
Little Rock, July 15.—The selective ;
service—a term that is preferable to '
the “draft,” is a great leveler. Great j
companies of young men come to the |
city with a few personal effects in a !
grip, possibly in only a bundle carried
over the shouder. They come, for j
the most part, just as they left their |
vocations, some dressed in blue jeans
jumpers as they had come from the

'arm and the factory, others in neat |
susiness suits from the stores or pro- j
fessional life, and still others attired j
with all the care and sartorial per-1
Section wealth might insure. The
ooy from the slums or from the poor j
oillside farm, who could not have 1
raised enough money to come to
camp, kept step with the millionaire’s
son, and between them was quickly
established that comity which bodes
ill for the future of the kaiser. Last
week, among those who reported' for
duty was a Missouri young man who
is said to be worth $16,000,000 in his
own name. But on the roll of his
country’s prospective fighting men,
he ranked no higher than the poor
fruit vendor on the comer from
whom he had bought apples and or
anges. So war becomes the great
leveler, and so firmly fixed will have
become this fellowship of individuals
during the war, that after peace is
declared the lines of demarkation will
less distinct and will have, lost
their counterfeit sacredness.
