The Times has referred these women

to the draft boards, and h.i> n r ’r ‘ lT

ed appeal to the president, i; fruirul tv ¦sary, having been powerless to do a*

more and having all confidence taa’

men selected for th<guarding the draft would meet it wi

their best intelligence and judge 1 or • v-

case impartially with the idea of pre vent-

ing unnecessary hardship anywher-

That here and there a mistake should

be made in the giant task of gefii g 1 -

gethcr a national army in a hurry. i>

reflection upon any board making it. y*

it is a mistake just the same, and it .the opinion of this newspaper that ti ere

should be a way of correcting th* mistas.without having to wait until t can be

brought to the attention of the president

with his multitudinous duties and care-

in time of war.

Mistakes HAVE been made and as a

result of them the president’s very p du-ly spoken rule stands violated.

We do not know that men who should

be with the army are not there.We do know that if this wife who

writes The Times has stated her case

fairly, an injustice has been done, andthat injustice exactly what Preside* ’

Wilson wished to guard against.

A married man whose wife Vec* me- a

dependent by his going into the army is

needed more at home and can Host servehis country at home.

The situation is not that desperate at

this time that we are called upon to sa -

rifice our women nor to pauperize themThere are enough single men at hand

to meet the present emergency.

There were nearly enough young men

married in a hurry in Detroit, following

the declaration of war, to make up De-

troit's first full quota.Send one of them in the place of the

married man who isn’t at heart a slacker.

Equal Rights of MenMean Equal Duties,

All Over the World

For many years this country has kept

its doors open to the oppressed of a!

nations.We have invited them to “the bn ! o

the free and the home of the brave.”We have told them that here was fr* * *

dom of speech and of the pre <.

We have insisted that here MAN mu t

have his RIGHTS.We have fought for these, have ] .t

them in party platforms and hav de-manded them in the courts.

We were ready to figrit even the court

when they interfered.Now* we face a crisis. We are in a

world war.W’e find that we mud mak aST \Nl>

for the RIGHTS we have been talking

about.Wr e find the rights of man ar* no'

local or merely national, but universal.We find that to protect the RIGHTS

of Americans as men, \se must protect

the rights of other men all over theworld.

And that means that we have come toa point where we must consider I>T 11!>'as well as RIGHTS.

One of those duties i the duty ofevery man to make the necessary indi-vidual sacrifice to preserve thosvRIGHTS.

To gain those rights many of our pi

cestors gave their lives in tru revolu-tionary war. To preserve those rightsmany of 4h*m gave their lives in thewar of the rebellion.

And now we find tjiat to hold thoserights we must make whatever sacrificeis necessary to gain the same rights forOur brothers all over the world./

The preservation of these rights In-volves responsibility. It involves duty.

And it is not the duty of a few of us,

. but the duty of, ALL of us.It is the duty not/ nlobe -of those bom

in this country, but also of all "ho came

to this country to enjoy the ble>sings of

j Hhpi'tv

Freedom of speech and of the press

does not m* an that either native-borncitien> or aliens have the right to lend

laid and comfort to the enemy by trying

prevent us from preserving theser .

• :'! - I•l TV . rear as «ms

Equal RIGHTS mean equal PI TIES.No man who lives in the United State.*

has any RIGHT which absolves him fromthe Pt T\ of making whatever sacrifice,

either of blood or treasure, is necessary

to preserve that RIGHT.Those who boast f EIGHTS must d*

| their PI TY. \nd that goes for every* T>( (f j ,\i’s u well is his blood

Prohibition During theWar Is Directly I p

To the President

It takes no expert member of the legal

1 profession to demonstrate that the mat-

tor of prohii ition is. legally, squarely inthe hands <,f President Wilson

TV til ,? I*l tit* T*ltOlt < iMArc \i <

k*

that time, experts figured that there wasin bond 225 million gallons of whiskand. in the saloons, clubs, ?.*¦>

wholesale houses, some 100 million gai-

making a

total sufficient to satisfy the average de-

mand for three years to come.The legai ban was put on distillation in

order to conserve foodstuffs, as a war

measure.Then, by law. President Wilson was

empowered to take all of the>o 325 milliongallons and redistill them to obtain thealcohol necessary in the making of warmunitions.

If he does not -do this, the presidentmust make the alcoholic equivalent out offood stuffs.

It is not a question of law.It is not necessarily a question of mor-

ality.

It is a question of war policy. Whowill say that spiritous liquor is a war jnecessity ?

Who will not say that food is the first Iand greatest necessity in this war?

Verily, prohibition is one of the warmeasures that congress has left, entirely*and definitely, in the hands of the com- jmander-in-chief of army and navy.

Where the C ode C omes In

Maybe they’ll have to settle it withpistols at ten paces- t ev meaning Ar-gentina*' minister of foreign affairs.Pueyrredon. and Von Luxburg, Ger-many’s minister at Buenos Aires.

Von Luxburg. in his infamous advice toBerlin, via Sweden, declared Pueyrredonto be “a notorious ass” and. as exhibit A,

in proof thereof, makes the statementthat Pueyrredon himself suggested the-inking of Argentine ships “without lea\-

ing a trace,” as a mean- of preventingcomplications.

Naturally, exhibit A makes Pueyrredonred hot and he pronounce* Von Luxburg

to l»e without doubt the greatest, mostshameful, bare-faced liar he ever met inall his experience.

Evidently, the diplomatic code of honoris busted, somewhere, and it is nowherewritten therein that the alleged diplo-

together in peace.Germany and Argentina may settle

their differences over the use of Sweden,but what othei recourse have Von Lux-burg and Pueyrredon save pistpls .

Political and Social Science a valuablepaper in which he points out the needof having represented in the councilwhich shall draw up the treaty of peacefor this war a suitable number of f>er-.sons who represt nt the masses and thebusiness interests of the various coun-

tries involved.I sually treaties are arranged by dip-

lomats, whose aims are purely piditicaland often dynastic. They play their ob-scure ami devious game of political chess,and the people have tt> abide by theirconclusions. .

But tli«‘ time is past when any set ofjx'liticians, however able, can with sate-

ty lie given a blank check which th<>my riad pojmlace to till out with money

and blood.The men who make the coming treaty

must have in mmd the wt fare of tins

people, and not alone the advantage ofthir* or that nation. Direct representa-

tive- of labor, of business, and of agri-

culture should have their say.For, as Fernand Knger.md .-aid, in the

Kcho de Paris, "the peace that will con-clude this unparalleled war will be thegreatest event in history. A long, avery long peace must be its main object.The problem to be solved i> nothing lessthan to rebuild l'urope for to have agood jveuce it will be ia ci -ary to have a

good Kurope.”He might have -aid "a good world.

**

And to have a good world, one in which-•> frightful a calamity as this Teutonicoutbreak cannot, possibly occur, it is ab-solutely necessary to prevent, by the com-

bined power of mankind, any one nationfrom treating such a military force ascan threaten the peace of the earth.

It is the program of militarism, inwhich every nation except America wasmore or les> entangled, that is the danger

to civilization. The path to glory, or anyprospect <>f it, for any one nation by

m.-an.- of t ,.jrmed P-n •• . im.s't br foi-

*\t'r dosed. The world will never be de-ivered, for instance, from the fear of

the <. 'nnari military machine until it 13

reduced to uch .>mail propoi’tions thatit cease- to b*' a fnissible menace.

It is going to be hard for triumphantFrance, Fnglan-l, and Italy so disbandthe forces that have won them glory, but

that is precisely what must done.War is an anachronism. It has no

proper place in modem life. Nations can

exj . : and ra< es excel in other w ays.And unless the treaty of peace that c<»n-

cudes this struggle provides in a prac-’al way form of world agreement

or world government which shall put anend forever to the possibility of one unitof national egotism attacking the re.-t ofthe world, in a mediaeval dream of con-

i|iie-t, it. will bo useless.There is something worse than Prus-

sian militarism ; it is that idea of mili-tar stir pro eminence that still lingersfrom the bloody past to curse all nations.

By all mean let in insist that thetreaty of peace shall be drafted by therepresentatives of the people, and not bydiplomats only.
