Some of them might. here -and there. but we will have great trouble in convoying our soldiers to the other side and shipping munitions and food products to them and to our allies in Europe on account of our insufficient shipping. The dissatisfaction with the present condition arises from the failure of Congress to enact proper legislation when we enacted the draft la.w under which we enrolled all our population. United States citizens and those who are not citizens. between the age of 21 and 31. and the noncitizens are exempted where drafted. throwing on the citizens the burden of furnishing the quota for themselves and also for the noncitizens. The noncitizens were not evenly distributed among the citizens in the various localities throughout the country.
