An army of between 6,000,000 and 8,000,000 men!
That to what the war department estimates can be
raised within three weeks under the selective draft
measure calling for the conscription of all men between
the ague of 31 and 31 years. That should bo a atate-
ment to make Germany sit up and take notice, par-
ticularly just at this time, when it is scouring that
country and sending to the western tont thousands
of men who are unfit to be soldiers, sending them
there to be "cannon food” for the British and the
French.
An army of 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 Americans, between
the ages of 11 and 31, means something. It will not
mean all the flower of the young men of the United
States, but it will mean that there to no country which
can produce anything like that
American citizenship, American valor, lead the world.
They always have since the formation of this republic
and while this great number of men is not to be called
to the colors at present only 500,000 being the extent
of the first organisation. It shows what this country
cen do and what a magnificent reserve it has to draw
from when the men shall be needed.
There has been much objection to the idea of con-
scription, even the more softening word of selective
draft not having succeeded in removing the dislike of
the proposition, but the congress icame to the support
of the president and there to a notable change in public
sentiment since the people are beginning to realise the
necessity for the measure.
within a very few days registration will begin and
there will be no “slackers" this time. All men within
the age limits named must register. The married men
are not exempt from registration, but these may be a
better chance for them in the exemptions than will
be the case of the single men, but it the young
married men do have to go to war, they may charge
yome of their troubles to the "slackers” who rushed
to the marriage license bureau because they were
afraid to go to war.
But, married or single, the United States has the

Three great commieeione are coming to the United
etrt.R one from Russta, one from Italy and the other
from Japan.
It haa been a matter of Wonderment that the two
first-named had not reached theae shores with the com-
misslons from England and France, those nations being
engaged in the war and looking largely to the United
States for aid in many ways.
The real matter of interest centers in a commission
coming from Japan, unsolicited and unheralded, but
it will prove of much satisfaction to the American
people that the prospect of a better understanding be-
tween Japan and thia country may be at hand.
The news dispatch telling of the coming of the Jap-
aceno commission says:
The Japanese mission selected by the emperor is
to come on a warehip to a west coast port. It is
said. Its object will be to endeavor to end the mis-
understandings which have led to talk of a future
war between the two nations. Intimations to this
government are that Nippon believes the moment
propitious to seal a closer understanding between
the eastern and the western world, on the frontiers
of which Japan and the United States stand, than
evsr haa been reached before.
Thia is but a vertitication of predictons otter, made
by Austin American that there was no cause for ’he
constantly appearing Jingo stories in the American press
that there was fear of war between the United stntes
and Japan. /
It la a propitious moment for the civilized nations to
make agreements, ag eements which shall make for
universal and lasting peace, ths time when all eball he
seeking to carry on the war which Prerident Wilson so
aptly said is to be a war for the "principles of hn-
monity."                                              i
The most pernicious activity againet the Japanese
people arose and flourished for a time on the Pac:fie
coast. Extreme measures attempted by the legislatures
of several states brought about international conpii-
cations that, fortunate;?, Washingto: was able to satis-
faciorily settle. With this result there has osen mors
recently a growing belief in th‘s country that Tapan is
friendly to ths United States, and when the commission
from that country shall reach theae shores It la more
than probable—In fact, it is a certainty—that Ita mem- J
bers will be accorded that aame hearty welcome which
baa been extended to the representatives of France and
England.
Japan haa many great statesmen and some heroic
warriors. The members of ths commission have teen
selected by the emperor, and it goes without baying that
the most able man of that empire will come to the
United States on this mission and much of good to the
United States may be expected to follow the confer-
ences.                                                          .         ,
Japan has thrown Ito prestige. Its effort and Ite
strength on ths aids of ths allies. Jspan stands for '
humanity, for llborty and for the "principles of hu- i
manity" for which this country is fighting to give to {
