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.

SEPARATE PEACE
PARIS, April 10. A semi-official '
Btatement lias been issued In Vienna
declaring that Austria desires peace .
with the Russian people and that
there Is no real obstacle to this aim,
according to a Zurich dispatch to the
radio agency.
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."
