OREGON WEATHER
Unsettled weather; gentle

. FOCR MILLION. SELECTED
While Generals March, Crowder
and others entrusted in drawlug the
plana to marshal the military force
of our nation against the Huns have
nothing to do whatsoever In outlin
ing the plans ot battfe on the west
era front, their have, br cooperating
with General Foco.,"1 made' careful es
timates of just what Is needed In
men, food and material to make
sure the kaiser's defeat
America already has almost 2,000,-
000 sturdy sons Jo France. March,
Crowder and other leaders are con
vinced that Germany, with all her
frigbtfuln'ess and boasted power, can
and will be defeated by 4,000,000
American soldiers. The aim of our
government Is to have 4,000,000 Am
ericans In France by next summer
Taking this as the required number
to crush the German armies, it will
readily be seen that only 2,000,000
men will be selected from the com
ing draft for Immediate overseas du
ty. It being generally understood, of
course, that all camps will be kept
to their full training capacity.
Next Thursday approximately 13,
000,000 men will register for mili
tary duty. From this vast number
It Is reasonable to presume that the
first 2,000,000 selected for service
on foreign soil will be men physical
ly fit In every particular strong, of
limb and bright of Intellect men
superior in every respect to the
vaunted Prussian guards, and men
who later will defeat the Germans
on their own soil as did the Ameri
' cans who tore to pieces the Prussians
at Flames.
While it is generally supposed
that the greater portion of the
2,000,000 soldiers to be selected will
come from those between 'the a;es
of 18 and 21, yet many may be call
ed for Immediate service who have
passed the 35 mark, and possibly be
yond 40. Just who will be caught
In the draft net Is a question of keen
apprehension for many. However,
every loyal American will be found
ready for duty when his draft num
ber beckons him come.
There are thousands, and then
thousands, who have hesitated to en
ter the service because they could
not go into the branch they prefer
red or secure the position they cov
eted. ' Apparently the chance has
passed for such men, the draft tnln?
the only way left. The country has
In the past needed more men ready
to spring to duty, regardless of a
coveted position. .

JIU J1TSU FOR THE ARMY
Several million men between IS
and 45 will be Interested in th an
nouncement that JU Jltsu is being
Introduced into the army not the
sport variety, but the killing kind.
Teachers of the art are being em
ployed for all the cantonments and
army posts, through the agency of
the commission 'on training camp
activities.
Though' the matter Is not being
made a formal part of the soldier's
military discipline, It Is expected
that every man trained for the army
hereafter will receive practical les
sons In this genteel killing method.
The value of such Instruction will
be appreciated by anyone who re
calls the excellent use made of jlu
Jltsu by the Japanese In their war
with Russia. It can be applied, by
one proficient In it, whenever the
fighting comes to a personal strug
gle, man to man.
"If you are stronger than your
opponent," explains an Instructor,
"so much the better if you know Jlu
Jltsu. If you are weak physically,
you may overcome a giant it you
know the tricks. It Is the exerslce
ot surprises." And as taught .for use
against Germans, there are no Mar
quis of Queensbury rules about It.
"Any sort of blow Is considered fair.
The whole idea Is, 'Go and get your
man before he gets you.' " That
sounds sensible enough. '

Provost Marshal General Crowder
ha ruled that writing poetry Is an
essential Industry. Sounds odd, yet
Crowder means "poetry." therefore

Haywood' sentence 20 year In
the penitentiary and 120,000 fine

those who have a tendency to tam

war time..
Governor Wlthycombe will not
proclaim registration day a holiday,
but woe to the man who falls to reg
ister. Such a man must look for
mercy from 'on high, for Uncle Sam
will have none on him.
General March, who, by the way,
is chief advisor of the secretary of
war In all matters military, ;.;'says:
"There Is no reason, to' doubt that
we ; can have ,4,000,000 men .In
France by next year, and 1 might add
that there Is not sufficient force in

AMERICAN families would have less sugar than the
people of war torn France, if we depended entirely
on our home-grown sugar stocks.
Approximately 75 per cent, of our- sugar is shipped
to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar
a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,
000 tons a year in normal times.
The United States Food Administration asks each
family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month
per person for household use. The military situation de
mands that every available ship be placed, at the disposal
of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save
shipping.
