A LESSON LOST THE li'.ssuns of tlio European war have apparently been wasted upon eonpress, as the house military eom- niittee has voted against selective conscription and for the volunteer plan. J he disastrous experiences ot Circa t Brit ain will he repeated by the United States, if congress has its way. Blunders will prolong selective conscription cannot be viewed as other than a blunder. Every mistake the nation makes will be paid for in blood and gold, and the more mistakes, the longer, bloodier and costlier the struggle. With the experience of Europe to guide ns, there is no excuse for not starting along right lines and continuing along them. Congress may think that the plan'that worked in the civil war will work now, but Germany, as well as the entente allies, knows better and there is little to fear from the United States as long as congress clings to the obsolete methods of half a century ago. It is because the kaiser was confident that, congress would act as it is act ing that he despised America There, is no better wav to trial and economic effectiveness than to revive from the discard of natious the volunteer system, that not only fails to accomplish the purpose ranges industry. The indiscriminate calling of volunteers cripples the work ot the nation and the system has proved a Jailure because it is not adapted to the kind ot warniow waged, that demands the mobilization and co-ordination of till the nation's resources its finance, industry and agriculture, as well as man The president has declared for selective Conscription, and his choice is sustained by the general staff. lie knows that it successful war cannot otherwise be waged, and it is the duty of congress to support him in making war vig-'i orously and efticieiltly. ' The opposition to universal service and conscription comes Irom the peaco-at-any-prieo men, who all along have supported the cause of Ciermany in congress and who op posed the president and opposed the break with Germany and the declaration of a state of war. ' Unable to prevent a recognition of the war made upon their own country bv the kaiser, this element is now doing the utmost to make us play a to keep ns from hurting the course inai norman symjiainizers piayeci so successfully for two rears in ixiissia. ji i ,i . .... a So these friends of the kaiser oppose the onlv way we can get an army quickly and production. Is German influence to paralyze America m the war as it has lviissia? To American Farmers The White House, April 18, 1917. To the Farmers of the Country: At the present moment it is our plain duty to take adequate steps that not only our own people be fed, but that we may, if possible, answer the call for food of other nations now at war. In this greatest of human needs I feel that the American farmer will do his part to the utter most. By planting and increasing his production in every way possible, every farmer will perform a labor of pat riotism for which he will be recognized as a soldier of the commissary, adding his share to the food supply of the people. : (Signed.)

M Fbrkert planned to bring Kigali's charges before tho grand Jury but Chief White refused to adopt that method, preferring to bring tho evi dence into open court. Oxman arrived here last night. Rlgall arrived this morning. Oxman's ball was fixed at 2o00 cash, or $5000 bond. To Verify Oxiuan. .' Kigali in his statement to Chief White detailed conversations he had with Oxman. after his arrival here January 6 during the Mooney trial in response to letters and telegrams from Oxman. "All you will have to do is to say yon saw me in San Francisco .Tul 22," Oxman told Kigali, according to the latter. " 'Ditt I wasn't here there I was never here.' ' " You were as much here as I was," Oxman replied, aixording to nigall. ' "'They will provo .my ' testimony false,' " Rlgr.ll sa!d. " 'Never mind tliat-the state will take care of Its witnesses.' " Rlgall said Oxman replied. Rlgall never testified but lie said Fickert gavo him $100. Oxman had promised him $250 personally, Rig all said. When tho wnrra it ror Oxman's ar rest was r-,-ed of Judge Brady, a representative of the district attor ney's opposed its issuance. "I want to say to your honor," said Thomas O'Connor, attorney for the bomb defendants, "that tho district attorney's office Is a party to this conspiracy."
