Kitchener Keeps Crying for
"Men and Moro Men" Re
cruiting Figures Fail to
Satisfy Him
FEAR TEUTON OFFENSIVE

LONDON, Aug. M.
Russian defeats In the eastern theatre of
war hae brought conscription nearer to
the Hrtlsh Isles than It has been at any
time since tho war broke out. Although
thero has been a steady flow of recruits,
Lord Kitchener, Secrctnry of War, Is
known to be dissatisfied.
His cry for "moro men nnd then more
men" Is not being answered In sufficient
volume to suit him.
Continued successes for the Austro-Ger-man
forces In tho east and the Inability
of tho Anglo-Ktenrh Allies nnd the Ital
ians to break the Teutonic lines In the
west are causing pessimism In tho piecs
nnd In official circles which cannot be dis
guised. Military experts, while admiring
tho bravery nnd strategy of tho Itusslan
nrmles nnd their commanders, confess thnt
the situation In the eastern theatre Is
ncute.
LACK training:
Humla has moro men than Germany,
but they lack training, and have Insutll
clcnt arms and ammunition. In tho ar
tillery branch, the RusMtins have suffered
enormously through the loss of guns,
and on top of this fact It must be con
sidered that Itussla never was a match
for Germany as regards cannon
If Germany should end her offensive in
tho eastern theatre now. It would prob
ably take Itussla a year to make up for
tho reverses suffered In the past 16 weeks.
Germany Is working desperately to
establish a condition of affairs In the
east that will allow the general staff at
Herlln to trunsport a million or more
men Into the west. That Is what Is mak
ing conscription loom up so dangerously
near,
CONSCRIPTION COMING.
Homo predict that conscription will be
an actunl fart within tho next two weeks.
Tho Dally Kxprcss, In discussing tho
situation, sajs:
"It Is no secret that Lord Kitchener
will not hcstltatc to ask for, and obtain,
national Bervlco (conscription) tho mo
ment he feels In a position to make It
wotkable. If tho Secretary of War had
asked for compulsory scrvlco a month or
two months ago, or even six months ngo,
the proposal wouldn't hnvo met with any
serious opposition nnywhere. Least of
all would nny opposition have come from
the cabinet.
"Lord Kitchener probably made up his
mind on this subject long ngo, and ho
hus no false sentiment regarding It. We
believe Lord Kitchener Is not enamored
with tho volunteer system. When tho
time comcB for him to net effectively we
believe his voice will be heard In no un
certain terms. Meanwhile It would do no
good to attempt to force tho War Secre
tary's hand. He will not act until he
finds the change can be made smoothly,
cleanly and most efficaciously "

DRAGNET OUT FOR
VENDORS OF "DOPE"
Women and Youths, and Even
Children, Known to Be
Purchasers
Tho ciusade against "dope" vendors,
peddlers and users In this city Is assum-.
Ing wholesalo proportions. Women and
young glrlf.. many of them yet In their
teens, are likely to be caught In the drag
net, nnd the arrest of several offenders
Is expected today:
United Slates Internal revenue officers
and the police, with their usual activity,
hnvo been gathering n mass of evidence
within the pasl few weeks, and the arrest
of many women nnd young girls Is ex
pected to prove n climax to n situation
which, in Itself, Is more tlinfi startling.
Even school children have become en
meshed, and It la well-known that In
somo sections of the city young girls
hardly out of short dresses are becoming,
or nro In danger of becoming, addicted to
the uso of certain drURs. Young men
who nrc known nR drug users aro thought
to bo tesponMble for this new danger
which confronts or awaits certain way
ward young girls.
While Deputy Internal Revenuo Col
lector John W. Glover would not discuss
the sltuntlon. It Is known that ho Intends
t'j use an Iron hand In dealing with
"dipe" peddlers who traffic In violation
uf the Hariison antl-nnrcotlc net.
"Dope" peddlers nnd former peddlers
nio being constantly watched by Internal
revenuo officers nnd the police. Doth men
nnd women nro said to bo engaged In tho
peddling profession, which Is probably the
most serious with which officers have had
tn dcnl.
A 17-ycar-old boy recently was arrested
accused of peddling "dope" to school chil
dren. Tho offender was dealt with severe
ly, and It has been hinted that the ped
dling or drugs to young ond inquisitive
school children ns yet has not been en
tirely done away with In this city.
Four ou(hs. all under 20, were ar
raigned befote United States Commis
sioner Edmunds, in the Federal Building
yesterday, accused "of being the Illegal
possessors of drugs. Ono of the Jads
had obtained drugs cm a doctor's prescrip
tion. Incidentally, Deputy Collector
Glover made three "dope" raids last
night. The offenders will be arraigned
today.
While two Philadelphia physicians are
now under Indictment for prescribing for
drUga contrary to the law, It has been
intimated that several other physicians
ure being watched nnd that other arrests
of professional men likely are to follow.
The laxity with which certain physi
cians, have been prescribing for drugs has
been an Important factor In the "dope"
situation In this city.

STATE COLLEGE, Aub. :3.-rersons
tltcrylnc tho shortage of trained omccrs
qi'iilined to command the raw troops that
would be recruited In this State In event
of war aro offered some balm by tho
Pennsylvania Stale College. Each year,
since 1S8J, when the Institution accepted
the provisions of the so-called Land Oraiit
Act. providing- for military Instruction In
colleges receiving Federal financial aid,
Pcnn State has graduated scores of youn.t
men proficient In military training-. Thero
are nvnllablo as commissioned officers
moro than MOO graduates of Pcnn State
who aro fit to become leaders In a na
tional crisis. Tho remaining 00 graduates
are college women and men who are de
fective physically.
Stato College gives much attention to
military training during tho early period
of tho students" career. The Federal
Government demands St hours of the stu
dent's time during each of his first two
years. This Is distributed so that ho
spends one hour each day studying tho
practical and theoretical aspects of mili
tary science.
It Is thought that 90 per cent, of Pcnn
Btato's military output woutd. In tlmo
ot need, bo given lieutenancies In volun
teer armies. Perhaps 250 nro qualified
to command companies of infantry. Thero
would be a few higher ofllccrs, as majors
and colonels. Iteslment.il posts would be
restricted among Stato Collego men to
those who had served as officers In tho
cadet regiment.
The cadet regiment at State College thin
spring numbered U6S men, being tho third
largest body of student troops In the
country. There were twelve companies,
divided Into thrco battalions, ofllccrcd by
62 students. These units. In addition to
the cadet band ot 68 pieces, were welded
Into a regiment and commanded by a
colonel nnd three majors, nil from tho
collegiate body. Tho regiment Is equipped
with modern rllles, of tho SprlnglleM
(model 98) type. The Springfield sends n
bullet nt a velocity of 2300 feet per second.
Moro than 600,000 rifles of this samo de
sign nre stored in government arsenals.
Each year, at commencement time, tho
Penn Stato regiment Is reviewed by somo
prominent army officer. Major General
Wood was tho reviewing officer in 1914.
Last June Brigadier General Albert
Mills, of tho general staff, was present.

yTTHIN the past few months the American Tcmper
v v ancc Life Insurance Company of New York became
defunct. The officers of that institution blamed their fail
ure on the admission of "moderate drinkers" as policy hold
ers. In consequence of this excuse, Prohibitionists have
been heralding the FALLACY that the taking of imbibers
of alcoholic drinks into the aforesaid insurance company
had proven its destruction.
