UNCALLED fOMM ANDKIf IUiACKJUJHX ,vcmiitiiifr officer of the V4 l nitcd Slates navy at, J'ortlium, who recently an nounced that the navy intended that the Stars and Stripes should fly from Canada to Panama before the war was nver. has sent a wire to Medford as follows: Mcdford has not responded to the president's call for young men as well us other cities of Oregon and I request your efforts to arouse red blooded young men to their duty If there are any such In Mcdford. Over 300 have enlisted from Medford in various branches of the army and navy a pretty pood proportion for the population. AVhat does Mr. Blackburn -consider a proper response that he slanders ns by asking whether we have any "red-blooded" young men in Medford? "What other towns in Oregon have furnished more recruits than Medford? It is neither wise nor necessary to take any more of our population for war purposes. Our proportion is already greater than the community can spare. There is danger that the nation will repeat and under the volunteer plan agriculture so as to cripple the t is just as important that be done and that the world war. The army and navy is war. With a worldwide food shortage to face, with insuffi cient men to harvest our needed crops, Mr. Blackburn wants to withdraw all our available population from use ful production and unjustly taunts us with cowardice for not further crippling industry. The way this volunteer plan is working out is enough to convince anyone that it, is a failure. Of course, men enough can be easily secured, but their withdrawal from productive labor does more harm than good. For instance, six phone operators left their switchboards in the local exchange without notice to join the navy. Seven employes, five of them skilled mechanics, left the Mail Tribune for the navy in both cases crippling the service rendered the public so that it can be seen that gathering up an army indiscriminately by the volunteer system might easily result in national disaster. The selective draft system, advocated by President "Wilson, by which all men between If) and 2" are called info service of the country, enables the government to raise an army without weakening its economic, resources. It would keep men on the farms who ought to be there, men in the factories who ought to be there, men oii'thc railroads who ought to be there. The army can be made up of men without families or dependents,- from the non essential industries, and shirkers compelled to do their share either in military or industrial service. In other words, the forced draft sends the right man to the right place. t iy. (Ireat damage was done in England by the volunteer system. Men were taken to the front, who were needed and invaluable in the industries, and this eventually com pelled the national organisation ol the industries to pre vent a national catastrophe. "We are making the same error, demoralizing industry to furnish recruits. The sys tem should be dropped.

The dispr.tch quotes a statement Is sued by a semi-official press bureau in Vienna in which it is said that the Austro-Ilungarian monarchy has tak- . en note of the recent declaration of tho Russian provisional government that it does not seek foreign terri tory hut desires a durable peace founded on the rights of people to dls- , pose of themselves. The statement says that the Austro-Hungarlan gov ernment is inspired by the same de- J sire and continues: "Therefore, both having common ends, it Is not difficult to find means 1 of arriving at accord. This is much less difficult sinco his majesty the '. Emperor of Austria and King of Hun- gary, In perfect union with his allied nionarchs. wishes to live In future peace and friendship with the Russian people." PIMPLY? WELL, DON'T BE! Pecple Notice It.
