Tn all the states where there is opportunity for real contests, both parties have complied with the de mands of Theodore Roosevelt and the aroused sentiment of *he people, and have nominated men who are thoroughly loyal to the national in terests. They are candidates who stand aggressively for the prosecu tion of the war to an effective ter- .mination, in order that the freedom of the United States may never again be subjected to the menace of foreign domination. It is not pos sible to say this for the «olidly Dem ocrat>c state« of the south, where many of those who. like Dent, of Ala! .run. have tried to hamper the government in the execution of an adequate w. r program, have been re nominated. But even in the south the most conspicuous men of this class have been refused renomina tion. SOUNDS CALL TO SFRVICE. Fifteen n .nths ag > the men of the co t-'try rr< i 21 to 30 years of age were registered. Three months ago, and again la-t month, those wiio had ju't reached the age of 21 were addfed. It now remains to in clude all men between the ages of 18 and 45. This is not a new policy. A cen tury delib erately ordained by those who were then responsible for the safety and defen e of the nation that the duty of triiiuiry service should rest upon all able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45. We now accept and fulfill the obligation which they establish« d. an obligation expressed in our national statutes from that time until now. We...solemnly pur pose a decisive victory of arms, and deliberately to devote the larger part of the military m. n power of the nation to the accomplishment of that purpose. The younger men have from the first been ready to go. They have furnished voluntary enlistments out of nil proportion to their numbers. Our p ilitary authentic regard them as having the highest combatant qualities. Ihrir youthful enthusiasm, their virile eagerness, their gallant spirit of daring, make them the ad miration of all who see them in ac tion. They covet not only the dis tinction of serving in this great war, but also the inspiring memories which hundreds of thousands of them will cherish through the years to come of a great day and a great service for their country and for mankind. By the men of the older group now called upon the opportunity now opened to them will be accepted with the calm resolution of those PRESIDENT The fact that the American navy la pronounced the cleanest morally In the world ought to udd to Its fighting force. If the old maxims and the poets are right. "Thrice Is he armed that hath*" his quarrel just.” says one great poet and the singer of Sir Galahad's praises makes that knight say: "My strength Is as the strength of ten because my heart Is pure.” In these respects the Americans tower Immeasurably above their Hun opponents, one of whose alms seems to lie to let loose the worst passions on the earth and to draw down the wrath of heaven on their remorse-leas heads. Despite the repor ed progress In ship building, vessel property la In demand at impressive prices. A current issue of the London Mall reports that the steamship Sydney lieid. 2.R52 tons, which sold just after the declaration of war for il.’i.oto, and in ISIS fur £15,250, lias just < hanged owners for £42,000, while two others of 3,000 tons, sold last year at £140,000, have been resold for £22o,oo0. , One observer says the great battle has settled down to a grim race in killing men. A bloody and terrible price is being paid for peace, but it must from this very fact become a peace which will prevent for all time stfbh an attempt by tyrannical and sin ister forces to reduce the best part of the clvllinsl world to th«^ -la very which it uas thought had forever been abolished. Some day, when jn'itce Is at hand, let us have a monument to the women of America who are giving so much of service nnd self-sacrifice through knit ting. making surgical dressing's and the thousand and one ways of personal contribution toward winning the war.
