It is perfectly , obvious that many men who are fit for service have been rejected because of minor defects which do not in the least impair, their . fighting ability. Hence we have some reductions as to height and weight, and also changes concerning the condition of the teeth. This last feature is a good thing, because those who are going in the army ex pect to be called upon to fight tbe Germans, not eat them. General Crowder sends a letter to the Gevernors in which he makes it clear that too many per sons are claiming exemption on the ground of having dependents. He says that the controlling ne cessity is to raNe an army, and that any such percentage of ex emptions aa reports of claims would indicate would nullify the law .end prevent, the raising of the needed army. He feels that there are many hundreds of un founded claims in the totals that have been published and he calls upon the local boards not to con sider claims that are not absolute ly necessary. This is the common sense view. It 13 . only fair to' say that the .newness of the business had handicapped many of the local boards, and that as the law is more clearly defined there will be a tightening of the lines, and as the examinations proceed there will be less difficulty in obtaining the number and the character of the men required. ; Drainage Wealth. Scientists tell us that a few thousands, a few million or a few billion years ago details are of no importance-the mouth of the Mississippi was at Cairo, Illinois and that all of the great alluvial plains stretching almost a thous and miles to the delta are the result of material carried down by the rivers and deposited as the current slackened. On the same basis a few million or billion years from now the delta of the Mississippi will be on the verge of Yucatan and the Gulf of Mex ico will be a lake. . It is not contended here and now that the States of the upper Missouri and Mississippi, the Ohio, Allegheny and Youghieg heny have any claim on the South because the latter has soil which was once their own. : It is a fact which might not be made a basis for legal recovery. ' . '. ' . ; But the fact that drainage canals are being dug 1 through all of the delta country with results of a financial ' advantage means something. Land once worth a dollar an acre is now worth $140 after being drained, and the best of long staple cotton Is being raised where once only mosqui toes lived. The South is ' wak ing up to a realization that it must do much of its own engin eering, it is a pity tnat it minus only of cotton. If there is any thing in the laws of econonics as applied, Mississippi should be richer than Pennsylvania and Louisiana ought to be able to toy Mddsachuspeus a a Hummei1, re-! sort. -Philadelphia, Inquirer.
